If you want to see a rough breakdown of costs, make sure you didn't miss it at the end of the video! We just about made it under 5K! (They have 20% contingency too!) I always say it's relatively easy for a designer to make something look good with an unlimited budget, so with these redesigns the goal is always to keep things affordable. I feel like this provides the most value for you guys - however I'd love to show you how different budgets compare and what they can potentially get you. Let me know below if this is something you'd like to see! A huge thanks to Lazslo & Ezster for letting me feature their space! Please be respectful to them in the comments. Appreciate you guys!

Great design! They would definitely benefit from some Mari Kondo decluttering as well...

Brilliant work as always, however I have to say this is one of my favourites you've done. You managed to create a sense of luxury not just function for this small family to be. Very impressive and arguably life changing. We would love to see if people actually put these into use!

Agree, too. It would be fantastic to review the completed project and compare to the renderings. The kitchen table and wall mounted bench seating could have been further enhanced with custom upholstery and cushions, and the table moved towards the TV a bit to open up the kitchen a bit more.

The number of skills this video brings together is insane: conceptual design, 3D design, rendering, cost control, storytelling, filming, editing, music selection...I don't think people truly appreciate everything that comes together in a video like this. Great work, Daniel!!

I know this series probably takes you a gazillion hours to make, but it is seriously one of the best (and most satisfying!) things I watch!

Obsessed with the result!! Wish we could see someone actually making your designs a reality

I get so excited whenever you put out a new video! Your videos inspired my husband and me to downsize considerably so we could live closer to family, and while our new place is still a work in progress, I am constantly encouraged by your ideas. You’re a genius, and this is one of my favorite designs ever.

You are really one of the few KZreadrs that I watch religiously. This is sensational. Explaining intention, usage, and style very clearly. Keep it up!

Love how you edited the end, and showed a cost breakdown in the end !!

Great job, as always! I just wanted to point out that 52 sqm is not a "tiny apartment" in Eastern Europe. It's actually a very spacious one-bedroom apartment. My family lived in a similarly sized one in Bulgaria for around 10-15 years, and we were 4 people + a cat at some point. I'm pretty sure that 80% of the people in Eastern Europe born between the 70s and 90s have lived a "minimalist lifestyle" long before it was cool. ;)

In Bucharest iirc most of the 1 bedroom apartments are in the 44-47 range, and the layouts are not necessarily better. (although kitchen and no window sounds like fun)

Relocating the litter box from the desk area to the entry alone is worth it.

Are you planning on doing some follow up episodes? Would love to see if anyone follows through on your designs.

That you describe the kitty as a 'foundling' is completely British and completely adorable ! Another great video Thanks Daniel!

That was brilliant. Love what you did in that flex space and the entry way. I wonder if any of the users you've designed for actually completed them. It would be great if we see their eventual finished results.

Wow, this video couldn't have come at a better time. Me and my girlfriend are in a similar situation right now, we live in a 48sqm rental apartment with our 1 year old baby (lost our cat though), have lots of hobbies and I work from home a few days a week. We were set to move to a bigger apartment this summer but due to unfortunate events we were unable to do so. So now we really need to make the most out of or current apartment for a while longer. This one really hits home and gave me some inspiration on how we could potentially do some optimizations. Thanks alot for this and keep up the awesome work!

You don't do Architect redesigns you do MAGIC. I'm rebuild my future apartment and seeing your videos for inspiration multiple times. Thanks for sharing

I absolutely love this. The redesign in brilliant. A lot of people in Eastern Europe are living in small, nonfunctional, overcrowded apartments. The initial design of this young couples' apartment is the common living condition in Eastern Europe (or I would say is even worse)

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSS, NEW VIIIIIIDDDDDD

This is pretty much my favourite series on youtube now. You put a crazy amount of work in!

Another aspect that really works out for Lazslo and Ezster's space is it can easily be phased into existence (especially using the provided cost estimate breakdown). Focus on the main living/kitchen area first. Then move on to the entry space. Lastly -- and because it is the most private area -- tackle the main bedroom. It gives them active goals they can plan in advance to take on, all while being able to save up funds for all the changes coming their way in the near future. In any case, congrats to Ezster and Lazslo with their soon to be family of three, and fantastic work with the design as always, Mr. Titchener. As others stated in the comments section, the planning, process, and presentation of this project is first rate.

the entry hall with mirror cabinet is just brilliant.

I haven’t even finished watching yet, and I just have to say that I think this might be the coolest couple in the world.

Amazing! The new space dropped my anxiety levels, even though I don't live there. 😅

I love that you really listened to what they need and not necessarily what you like or want. Not only does this look good but with all the hidden storage it will be easy to hide things away, especially when they'll be busy parents.

I think this is my favourite video you have shown us. Having recently moved into a rented sheltered housing flat whilst also acquiring grandparent caring responsibilities, I’m looking at how to free up as much space as possible whilst not getting rid of a lifetime of memories. This gives me cause for thought! Thank you for sharing.

Just WOW! I love it. My small flat is loaded with board games and seeing your careful attention to storage solutions and sleek gaming area is making me think that it is possible to live in a more ordered home.

Awesome work! Thanks for your videos! Do you know if anyone ever followed your ideas and remodeled their space? A video showing the reallife results would be sooo interesting!!!

Wow! This is an amazing transformation, so much space and probably not much left to do to baby proof it for safety. Speaking of the child that has yet to be born, I swear I heard Daniel say: “You can have your kid and eat it…” 😮 The cost breakdown really adds to the video!

the left on the thumnail is so cute and homey. I get that if owners seek advice from a famously minimalist architect, they lean towards it too, however nothing wrong with the "before" :)

If the couple get this design done we'd love to see it in reality..very nice design

To get that space for around $8,500 is amazing! Excellent work, as always!

Man, I wish integrated appliances were more of a thing in Canada because that kitchen is just so dreamy! Yet again, Daniel, you did an awesome job opening up the space AND maxing out functionality. This situation is very much like my boyfriend and I's situation. I've taken so many notes :)

Well done. Such a beautiful and calming space. Love all the storage you've created.

Love this series! Thank you Daniel, and thank you Lazlo and Ester for letting us into your home

You are a magician. Anything you touched turns to gold. ❤❤❤

Fellow Hungarian from Budapest, Great video/ design , instant like :D

Your redesigns never disappoint! Aesthetical, functional, and realistic. Always inspiring. Looking forward to the next video :)

While I like the general idea of the living and dining area design, I don't think replacing a pantry with a storage bench is very practical. Having to duck under the table every time you want to grab something from the drawers makes it inconvenient for frequently used items. Instead, why not mirror the tall closed shelving from the other side of the room and use it as a pantry? You could even leave the table orientation as it was before, creating a visual separation between the kitchen and living area. The bench can still be used for seating if need be.

@DanielTitchener

Good point! What's cool about the living room shelving is that it's housed inside cabinets, so you actually have the option to add doors on them and use them for storage! I completely agree about convenience though, but I figured that it may be worth it to allow for the new dining table orientation.

This could house 4 adults and a child. Amazing!

I love this series so much! I've been living in an awkward layout 2 bedroom apartment and feeling so awful that we have no room and dreaming of a bigger space, but these have opened my eyes to the possibilities and appreciate what I might actually be able to do in the place we have!

This was absolutely genius. Love watching this come to life. Keep it up Daniel, you’re definitely an inspiration to all us watching.

Wooow!!!! THAT is so BRILLIANT it left me speechless! Lol that is exactly how I would love to live!!❤❤❤❤

I think one or two videos ago I’ve commented that in 1-2 years time I’d love to get an apartment design from Daniel (as we felt like we would need to save on a downpayment for a very long time). But now we are actually applying for a loan already! So this video came up so on time! Yet I was upset to see Daniel no longer takes private deals… But I’ll still apply for a Redesign series - even with an empty apartment! I feel like I’ve seen so many videos or posts from so many interior designers and none of them have the actual heart in their work and really understanding value of creativity, space saving and functionality - they just go for Pinterest worthy looks instead of really making home a home.

Would be nice to have at least some independent chairs for the family table: makes it easier to hide your cards while playing games. I understand wanting a clean look, but it still feels cold and lacks color, except the bedroom. Love the green in the bedroom.

I really like your British understatements. "A little bit disjointed' meaning very cluttered with mismatching cabinets. Also a little bit cluttered". I am British and probably old enough to be your granny. I have lived in the US for 13 years

@MargaretGreene. Me too, but I'm now in Australia after a lot of international moves. Being English-born, I love the polite British understatements too. 👏👏👏 Here in Australia they have a more colourful and naughty expression for clutter or disjointed rooms (though of course it's not in common use!) ... Clutter or mess can be described as "all over the place like a mad woman's sh*t" 🙈

i love how chill the cat is

These are my kind of nerds 😊

The architect king never misses

Oh my goodness!!!!! This was an absolutely awesome transformation!! I had to go back because it was just incredible!!!!

Daniel, your work is nothing short of brilliant. I am always so astonished to see how you solve challenges with such thoughtfully simple yet beautiful design. Keep up the amazing work.

Fantastic design, as I was watching it I was doubtful of the budget, but you gave a detailed layout of the materials used and the costs 👏👏👏👏, which is brilliant. I do love the new look and functionality of the apartment. I also really appreciated your comment on how it's hard to try to and juggle financial stability and parenting and how staying in their small home will help them to not have the added stress of a larger rent/ home loan.

you are a genius. the place was a nightmare and you made it so clean and beautiful

These videos are always impressive and an inspiration for making efficient updates to any space. Thank you! 😎

You've thought of everything, Daniel! I'm making mental notes! I love clean, bright, organised small spaces. Brilliantly done. Thank you for showing. G Ire PS the darker bottom half of the bedroom wall is genius. I wondered whether I'd try for the work desk folding up against the wall unit. It would 'finish' the day's work and close off any work documents stored on the unit.... just a thought. But it would be hard to improve on what you have designed, Daniel. Very best regards

The design process is amazing. I'm an architect, it will really help me to think like this while designing. Really nice👍

I would love it if you’d revisit the people you create these designs for to see what they’ve accomplished.

Hi Daniel, I really like to watch your remodeling videos. The ideas are really brilliant! I miss the attention to changing tables in the apartments where babies are soon involved. As a parent, you change the baby many times a day, so improvised changing on the bed or sofa is not really a solution with dignity. And most changing stations are huge. In my case I opted for a wall-mounted folding changing table in the bathroom. It's a great space-saving solution, and it's always there when I need it. It could be something to consider for your next family video ;-)

Absolutely brilliant on both the design and budget fronts. Even when I convert the cost into INR it feels so incredible to attain. More than inspiring!!!

Great practical ideas. But they need to declutter a LOT.

Brilliant aesthetics and storage consolidation but slim on baby items like changing table, disposable diaper storage or cloth diaper hamper with lid, nursing chair, stroller, car seat. I would have enclosed a small center room with center window and added a solid door. Acoustical separation with an infant is very practical. Separate room creates practical storage and parking opportunities. Leaves a long narrow space for dining, lounging and entertaining; and your bench-storage-entertainment still works well. Better to cope with a narrow space than a cranky toddler that keeps waking up.

You're brilliant at this. I really liked how you enhanced the light and view from the corner windows by making that area less cluttered and more accessible with the new desk off the living room. I thought you could make a desk to fold up and back into the cabinets for more space.

These keep getting better and better. Brilliant solutions, and the video production is so impressive. Like others are saying, would love to see the follow ups on these to see what gets implemented.

I love love love the reveal at the end of your videos with the music playing in the background

Daniel, this is by far the thoughtful redesign I’ve seen on this channel. Beautiful work mate. What I love about this, is that you did no compromise with the individuality of the homeowners to make all of this happen. Work, play and family. Good job, mate. ❤

This was a very interesting change to the previous format where we actually saw you do the modeling! Love the renders, keep it up!

Ok, you seriously deserve a lot more subscribers. Just started watching you and love your content

So many great ideas. Love the curtain, highly under-rated!

another amazing redesign! taking cues myself. and Lazslo and Ezster seem like a really fun couple! such cool hobbies :D

Im so impressed by all the work you put into this project! This always inspires me to downsize and put the focus on functionality rather than luxury

Cost breakdown at the end was a great addition.

Damn Daniel!!! Very noice 👍😂👌 Hope you can reach out to past featured makeovers and check if they already did the re-do and provide a video per makeover that came into life. Great video as always. More power to your channel 👍😎👌🙏

Hello Daniel, it's so inspiring for people living in the tiny homes. From the sketch concepts to the 3D model views are amazing! I wish I have skill to start something rough!

I have a feeling that this series is saving a lot of people from going mad 😅

its weird how even just looking at the first images of the apartment, I knew it was a hungarian one (without reading the title too), it just has the same vibe as the apartment I live in

What a brilliant revamp, so much wasted space now cleverly used for better living. I'm sure that the couple are delighted.

Everything you produce is gold-dust. Thank you for blessing us with this channel!

Love everything except the wall colour. Would love to see more warmth in your designs. Perhaps simply white by Benjamin Moore.

I desire a lot of apartment redesigning from Daniel. You are the best!

Budapest is one of my favorite cities in the world! Your work is excellent. Also, I wish I knew how to play around with a program like that to redesign my own room. Thanks for sharing.

Just beautiful. I could not see any of it until you did a rendering

It owuld be awesome if you could do some sort of follow-up videos, or even shorts, of people who do take your advice and implement the changes. Your designs are great, but I think we would love to see the actual end results. If showing that individually is too much of a hassle, then maybe one vid per several re-designs would not be as overwhelming. Just an idea.

Wonderful work! I had to rewind several times to really take in what you had done, especially in the hallway. Could you please slow down the video for the final results?

Wow! Daniel, that is absolutely brilliant. A big hello to you from London UK…

sono rimasta a bocca aperta.. veramente stupefacente come una persona che sà fare bene il suo lavoro possa consigliare davvero al meglio e con costi contenuti per ottenere un risultato strepitoso❤

I enjoyed this so much! Family, hobbies, working. *Living* in your home. Most people aren't rich singles in their 20s, who only use their homes for sleeping and meditating. (When I see such homes, I always wonder what those people do when they are at home. Seems like the only activities there would be cooking and watching screens? Maybe they all work 60 hours a week and are really only home to sleep.

WOW! Absolutely brilliant!

Nicely done as always Dan!

Stunning, clever, smart and amazing .. as all of your re-designs!

Looks absolutely amazing!

Brilliantly done!

This is absolutely amazing

Your content always brings me joy and inspiration

Wow! Stunning result!

As always, incredibly practical and open interior.
