It's the external stairs that I love.

I love the idea of having light on all four sides! But I'm not convinced about taking down the walls between the bedroom, living room, and kitchen. What if someone wants privacy or to take a phone call? Sound travels. I also don't like how you need to open two doors, including a big one, to get to the fridge. Also the laundry in the bedroom, wouldn't the noise be annoying if someone is sleeping. Just some odd details I wouldn't want to deal with. Love the look of the place.

I hope the days of taking down walls to "open everything up" are soon to be over again. I heard that rooms are actually coming back and I second that. I was never a fan of open floor plans. I have friends with an open apartment and you never have one second of silence there

It's only the two of them living there - I guess they don't need too much privacy. They can do the laundry when nobody's sleeping.

Very nicely done, although the relatively big size makes it much easier to turn this apartment in a very liveable space.

What an amazing building. And to be still standing today is remarkable. The apartment has so much natural light. Whilst black would not have been my choice of colour everything blends in well.

That asus ad right in the middle was really jarring, did not expect that!

I love that they worked around the windows and made sure that they did not cover the view. And I love that they made the cabinets seem like they are floating by elevating them. Makes cleaning so much easier 😂

This is beautiful, what an incredible building. The lift grate! The aerial passageways! The view! I'm so glad the whole surrounding build is still standing and cared for. I love that everything was kept low to the ground, it feels so spacious even though with all the storage there's actually quite a lot of stuff in there. I personally like all the black joinery, it really feels like it was embraced as a feature rather than being something to hide. And the entrance way cupboard with the special doggo room is so charming. I don't think he even touched on the light on the swing arm in the living space and what looks like a winter garden rather than a balcony. My only concerns are that the fridge cupboard door could be annoying though aesthetically lovely; and that if it's all the original glazing it's going to be a bit frosty in Melbourne in winter. Truly such a beautiful place though!

So lovely. The base is wonderful to start, with such wonderful light from all directions. I’d get rid of that TV blocking the window in front of the sofa and opt for a projector/roll-up screen; that view is stunning.

What a brilliant block of flats. That's how it should be done.

I love this building. Years ago, when I worked late shift, I'd change my route home to go past this building. It's magical.

Hey! I'm in Melbourne right now! (for the first time). So far I've only been in the center, it's nice to see these cozier spots just outside.

‘Functionality needs to come first’. Well said. Totally agree.

I LOVE how the flat is flooded with natural light!!!!! Lifting the cabinetry off the floor truly helped keep an airy feel. It's nice to see they love the fur baby like family. Having his own private area but up on the couch with cuddles.

Vinnie's bedroom ❤ Great apartment, what a light! And view!

🤯 Absolutely amazing! Also terrific that it's back to original exterior colors! "Back to the Future" in the best possible way! 👏😎✌️

An absolutely inspiring space. I like that you mentioned the lands of the Wurundjeri people.

i have long wished i could live in this building back from when I found out an associate at my very first job lived here

The tv unit fits so well into the whole aesthetic which is rare

i love the concept and configurations of the flat. the only thing i wasn't fond of was the black, as i felt a lighter color would have enhanced the beautiful light and space and openness of the apartment. the kitchen table/work table seemed a bit *board roomish* to me, but that's personal preference though.all in all a lovingly restored space. what a dream to have the entire floor - well done!

Ah but the black was what brought it together in my opinion. I mean , I get it.

The living room looks like an office and the bedroom reminds me of changing rooms in a public bath.. Also I'm not sure putting a huge black shelf in the middle is a very innovative use of space. And it makes the room appear much smaller than it is 🙈 but of course I know that this made especially for their needs and this is what matters. 😊

I like the fact that even the old design was still beautiful.

I love home tours that just relaxes me and the beautiful doggie 🩶

This place is gigantic relative to other never too small places featured

Lovely flat. Also, as a Swede I was glad to see a Sigurd Lewerentz book laying on one of the shelves. I live next to the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm, and often see his work on my walks there. Not least the Chapel of Resurrection, completed in 1925.

Wonderful space, exactly how an apartment should be with lots of workable, considered storage and everything having a place, the only add on I would have is a bath, can't live without mine!

this apartment has a lot of nice details. and color palette is nice. it's my style

Nice air-conditioner idea. No spoiling of the interior.

Wow! What a cool building complex...I love how the color palette of this flat makes the gorgeous painting really stand out. And of course the renovation is tasteful, clever (adore the broom closet, which often seems overlooked in many of these NTS videos, but utterly necessary) and respectful/sympathetic to the heritage of the building. Feels modern yet cosy/liveable.

Very well designed. It made the space looks much bigger than it is.

Lots of great ideas, amazing building. Omg acres of natural light, panoramic views & sky bridges, my language! 🥰

What a fun and unique building! It would be a very happy space to live in.

What an apartment! Exactly my likings and style, just love it!

This video showcases an inspiring restoration of a modernist apartment in Melbourne. With just 58sqm, the architect has skillfully revived the space, blending contemporary elements with the apartment's original character. It's a testament to thoughtful design and preservation, resulting in a stylish and functional living environment.

This is probably my most favorite to date. I'd give my eye teeth to own one of those uber cool apartments.

Stunning. The building, the apartment, the view, the lift. Adapted to a gorgeous home.

Oh I love this apartment so much. The fact there's only one apartment per floor, the aspect and view, and the light! Very clever, thoughtful and intentional restoration and design structurally and with elements that enhance the lives of those who live within. Gorgeous.

Wow! One of my favorite features!

Remarkable! well thought out changes to suit their needs, including thinking of possible alternative uses of furnishings. Very sleek and elegant. Lucky for them to live in such a classy place! I would have chosen a lighter colour (of wood) for the massive furniture, but it is a matter of taste. I would also want a proper door separating bedroom from living room. I might have opted for a screen and projector instead of a stand TV.

One of the best utilisation of space designs, fits so we I to the architecture of the building 🏝🥰 Love it

Great layout, lots of natural light, and the views are amazing! And I just love the clever way the tv is housed.

Really love your recent videos, simple, makes sense and realistic. This one too.

I love everything about this. The building, the furniture, THE LIGHTING?!?!

This is one of the best small spaces I've seen here on this channel. Brilliant!

Beautiful. I appreciate the little touches that reference the original building and the period. It is an excellent example of preserving and updating existing housing stock. Thank you.

I lOVE the concept but really hate the TV being there! It just looks like a big black box blocking the view! Sorry to sound so negative. It truly is a beautiful building and a inspirational design. I love how the bedroom and living room are one space - cross flow of breeze is so important. Really clever use of bathroom space and it all ties in togehter ! :)
