I am always intrigued to see these apartements. However, i would also love to see the people who actually live there or see places that have not been redesigned by architects, but just re-imagined on a smaller budget. But that’s just me. Because i love seeing what you can do without breaking the bank. Having said that - maybe thats just not the concept of NTS and thats fine too. It’s also great to see architects who do smaller spaces get a platform to shine. Over all, as a European, i love to see smaller spaces represented in any way shape or form. 🤗

I wouldn't say this is the best design but certainly the most entertaining episode by far !😂

I liked quite a few design choices in this space. The bookcase, the compact kitchen with its soft yellow doors, the washing machine hidden away with the toilet, (but it’s too close to the kitchen ), the window seat, the all white interior, and the capsule bedroom. However I got anxiety seeing the shower cubicle stuffed into the corner up there. The moisture and steam from showering so close to the bed would not be practical unless it was fully enclosed with a strong extraction vent!

This is absolutely beautiful as it appears to function well and yes, the fact that it's not one of those design and you have to fold, open, pull and so many gesture that you'll need to do! Very well thought and it's simplicity really suits the small apartment. Well done to both architects :)

I love this space and the acrobatics that can be done within it! Hilarious❤ and informative video. I see some people complaining in the comments, that this would have been an expensive reno, and it's true that MOST people cannot hire an architect, but there are multitudinous youtube channels with helpful dollar store diy's which are totally legit and inspire mamy of us. On the other hand, I love that these architects mostly took volumes away. That's the MAIN thing they did and it's brilliant! I'm impressed with the simplest of shelves--the library. Then they painted everything white! Only a couple artistic details: the upper kitchen cabinets with the middle door referreing to the inspirational observatory dome, and the movable kitchen screen. Perfect touches that incurred some expense, but EVERYTHING else is simple, smart, functional design, just tucking the necessities in exactly where they fit, using the simplest materials: curtains, doors, minimalist stairs, and white paint to make it happen. And then, the coup de gras, totally exposing those gorgeous nail studded beams! Mm. As a designer and an artist, this reno makes complete and utter sense ro me. And I agree with many here; I do wish you'd provide cost details on this channel. I know it wouldn't be the most classy thing, but it would be respectful to consumer/humans. Consumer/humans want to know! (I love how Bryce always respectfully asks how much the owner's tiny build cost on his channel, "Living Big in a Tiny House." And it's SO satifying to hear them answer! SO satisfying.) I have to watch this great video again. Thanks!

Wow! Such a tiny apartment. The architects did a great job.

I love the art on the kitchen cabinets idea.

This is exactly what I would have for a permanent apartment. I love the mix of the old beams and rustic finish with the sleek and modern new finishes. The compact layout with high ceilings makes the whole place feel so cozy, but yet filled with natural light also. This is my favorite place i've seen yet on your channel-or any other for that matter.

Wow how clever to turn two dilapidated dark spaces into a bright design studio! 👏🎩 I liked the parkour presentation. 😄 Something different.

I like this apartment! The redesign makes it feel bigger and the pops of color save it from being boring and bland! Also love the gymnastics 😄 What a nice change of pace for NTS videos.

Being European, I like this apartment and it's location above all.

Fav renovation in a long time. I am not sure if the acrobatic element was just for this video or will be part of the future videos well but it suited the vibe of the video very much. Never thought I would chuckle watching a NTS video 😂

All Never Too Small apartments/domiciles are beautiful in their own ways, but this one in particular really got me. I would love it living here. The architects, the acrobat, and the clients own personality through the soft touches in the place really brings out the unique utility of the capsules of space in the apartment. Love this so much

Nice use of space and the white paint everywhere really opens up the space and allows the light to travel well. The divider for the kitchen was totally a waste. People expect to see a kitchen in an apartment. The beautiful art work is now hidden.

Absolutely beautiful. It has such a good mix of comforting softness and spacious minimalism without being personalityless. I love it. Saving this for reference later.❤

The bookshelf by the entrance, the window that opens towards the oldest functioning observertore in the world, the L-shaped sitting bench just below the window, the creamy white wall-length curtain, the wooden beams from the original building, the kitchenette that is tucked underneath the upper floor and the portion used to hide it when not in use, the skylight in the upper floor, the storage wall and the curtain that hides it -- everything in this apartment exudes a classic Parisian elegance. It is a very successful renovation project. I love this renovated Parisian apartment, except one thing: the bed is next to the bathroom. Humidity can be a problem. It is not mentioned in the video, but maybe they have installed a ventilation fan in the bathroom or a dehumidifier in the space. Thanks for sharing!

lovely aesthetic and ok for possible mon - fri work only, escape at weekends to actual comfy sofa!

Where do you wash your hands after using the toilet? With the same sink you also use to clean your vegetables? The toilet is also too close to the kitchenette. I would have tried put the shower where the toilet is now and create a small, enclosed toilet space in the bedroom area (with a sink inside!). I really hope it will not become a new trend to not create separate bathrooms at all anymore, but I can see why having a proper bathroom in this place was not possible. Doesn't change that the placement of the toilet is awful and a shower doesn't belong so close to a bed and clothes.

@KMConnor

3 күн бұрын

Most Parisian apartments have a separate toilet and it's often next to the kitchen. You just use the kitchen sink to wash your hands, it's not a big deal. In fact in a studio of this size it would be unusual to have a 2nd sink let alone a toilet in the apartment. These spaces are former servant's quarters and the toilet would be shared by everyone who lives on that floor, hence the lack of plumbing to begin with. Many people still live in these studios, especially students, as they are some of the only affordable rentals in the city.

I love this apartment. Everything is in the small space.

This whole place is sooo thoughtfully designed…love love love it!

I love it! The way they achieved different spaces is great. Love the kitchen. And the paintings on the cabinets. I don't think I could live in a space quite that small. The bench seat isn't enough for me. I need something bigger to lounge in. But otherwise, I love it.

In general good use of space and also looks so bright However the shower and sink beside the bed is a big NO for me 😅

Simply wonderful. Thank you

Very clever design. I love where they put the toilet and the washing machine. The space is like a little work of art. Love it!!

Wow, such a clever use of space under the stairs, kudos to the architects! It literally made me gasp 😅 I would probably opt for a storage instead of either shower or bath, but what a luxury to have both!

Love these guys-what a great presentation!

Beautiful unit, but ventilation does come to mind when I see that shower in the bedroom.

Very cool as always. Though--maybe I'm just jaded--does it seem to anyone else like the more ingenious uses of small space have been less common, or said another way: the earlier videos seemed to be more clever and problem-solving-oriented compared to "merely" being just beautifully and elegantly done. Maybe it's just that those were the videos I gravitated toward when I found the channel. Just seems more like "these are nicely designed apartments" now whereas I feel like I remember it used to be like "Wow I never would have thought of that feat of engineering, that's mindblowing". Anyway like I said it's still really cool

Honestly I think it depends a lot on the demands of the client. Early small living concepts were often very utilitarian, often apartments designed from the ground up with integrated furniture, cabinetry, and wash rooms, designed as low cost living spaces, or in places like Hong Kong and Tokyo, where space is a luxury. This expanded internationally as small sub-let spaces in places like new york became more common, and is where the trend began to blossom online. Then we began seeing people apply some of these concepts to make slightly more luxurious spaces, but still incorporating a lot of functionality to create a fully featured home within a tiny space, or to create more open space to entertain when needed. Meanwhile an apartment like this likely isn't designed to be the clients only dwelling; they probably have a second much larger house out of the city, so considerations like storage, kitchen space, or the abilities for spaces to transform aren't required - it basically just functions as a slightly better equipped hotel room, which you don't need to be all that smart with to make work in a small space. It's designed more to be a pleasant and comfortable space, dedicating a lot of space to things like a large bookshelf, larger circulation spaces, and no need to transform furniture, which is almost a complete rejection of how the trend began (ie the gentrification of tiny homes).

“When I do my acrobats, I can use the screen to hide me away.” 😊❤

Oh, to be young and living in Paris!

How very clever, the apartment has everything thats needed. I love how they put some thought into the toilet downstairs, but shower and basin upstairs. Usually one wouldnt think to separate these elements of a bathroom. My bedroom alone, not counting the attached bathroom, is 25 square meters. So its a really tight but well thought out space.

Very very interesting and beautiful space! Congratulations!

Very cute!!!! Thank you👍

Stunning. This is so clever and well executed. Big up to the acrobat and the architects. Aucun doute, ils sont bien frères !

I liked a lot about this place! The acrobatics were a little annoying at first but they do give a sense of size and space. The toilet door right in the kitchen is a bit weird lol. Other than that, this was great, given the size constraints they got all the elements to work. Having a shower in the bedroom work, i loved the entrance cupboard and library shelves and corner window bench!

Stunning apartment, clever design and entertaining video!

With all the functions architects managed to fit into such a small space, the place is almost miraculous. Lovely done! Functional and surprisingly spacious storage on each "floor." The only thing I would have an issue with is a small fridge. On the other hand, that's Paris; they have fresh veggies/fruits right on the street markets, so maybe the owner doesn't need to store much in the fridge, or she doesn't cook that much. Anyway, great solutions and a witty presentation🙂! Congrats to the architects and the owner! Thanks for sharing!

I really like the design concepts for this space, the simplicity, the use of colors. This video has a fun Wes Anderson style approach to it.

One of the best use of every single square inch that I’ve seen! Bravo!!!

I could not watch this cirque-du-soleil-thing more than a whole minute ....

Will never quite understand the decision to integrate a shower in the bedroom. Can't fathom the moisture that would engulf the room, bedding, and more, irrespective of the fact that there's a skylight.

Great project and excellent performance! One of the best videos on this channel!

I think this is one of the most entertaining videos you’ve uploaded yet haha The acrobatics guy really gives the space life and character. I also really like the outlay and design. Though I think I would’ve „sacrificed“ the large shelf or some of the dining area to place the stairs on the side and allow for a small bathroom along the wall were the stairs are now. I don’t dislike the current solution since it’s cool to have a skylight above the shower, but I really like having my shower and toilet in one room. After living in South Korea for a while I also came to appreciate their bathrooms - instead of having a shower cabin, the shower head is usually just attached to the wall or the sink and the entire room, with toilet in it, becomes the shower cabin. It saved so much space, I really liked it. So that’s what I would be going with. The staircase could still have some storage or become a shelf too.

Fabulous little apartment! I love it!

Wow , what an introduction 😂 that back flip 😂

Amazing result! And finally again a very small (French) apartment without a TV but with a big book shelf 🥰 It's a bit too much white interior for my taste which gives a cold ambience, but with some few warm colour splashes this would be perfect 👍

Super cool design and designers! Even though the apartment appears small, it appears very spacious and the use of windows and skylight are in just the right places. Loved the pops of red and yellow. Would love the backstory on these two brothers as one has a French accent, and the other sounds American. Very cool work guys!
