Designed by Pigalopus architects to appear bigger than it is, but remain flexible to the owners needs, Lwowska 32sqm apartment is a breezy home for two and their dog. Located in Krakow close to the city centre, it sits within a developing neighbourhood, with large windows allowing a plentiful amount of sunlight into the home. To maintain this, the existing floor plan was unchanged, and instead flexible, movable furniture was added to the exterior walls, and a floor to ceiling bookshelf created to form a divider between sleeping, work and living spaces. With a projector screen hidden above it, and storage accessible from both sides, this unit functions as both general storage, TV unit and bedside table. Raising the bed itself also allows for additional storage underneath. In keeping with the flexible concept, the lighting is all installed on rails so it can be moved and added to as needed. In designing the home, Pigalopus fully embraced its future use, allowing it to be easily customised for its next owners.

I feel like this is a really good example of a normal way to make a small space work. Very functional but also simple and easily implemented.

Agree. It's attainable to ordinary people. You don't need the price of the apartment again to make it work. Great job and lots of ideas here. Hello from Australia 🇦🇺

I couldn't have agreed better
Probably the best Ryan’s kzread.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.
Finally something I can relate too as a renter! Renting in small apartments means we are very limited in space and in what we can do. I like that it's not built-in but movable furniture, which is more realistic and comfortable.
This feels like a space most of us would be happy to live in. Simple but not too minimalistic. It is nice to see what can be done to a space without a crazy budget for custom furniture.
love how the implementation is approachable. Sometimes it's a better fit to work with what you have, instead of tearing down all the walls and starting over with all custom features built into the walls.

Yes I liked it very much too. The fact that it's clearly a beautiful new building, with an apartment plan that was already quite rational (almost a square space...) and modern, probaly made the implementation of the project a bit easier.
This is by far the most realistic approach to a small space ever featured on this channel. Saving this to my playlist for future reference.
Your apartment is perfect 👌I particularly like the bedroom divider, you'd never know the bed is on the other side. Well done 👋
This is one of the best uses of space. It really looks homey, without having to move a bunch of things around in order to use something. Looks more spacious than its square footage.
This video has so many tips, all of which could easily be applied to renters (like myself) who do not have the luxury of pulling down walls!
This apartment is simply beautiful, and would make for easy living. There are no goofy compromises, no need to eat at a coffee table or climb a clumsy ladder to get to bed, for instance. And a small detail which I’ve always imagined useful but never seen: the kitchen counter in front of the window has cupboards below that are shorter, thus creating a resting spot to place things while cooking. (We all feel we need more counter space, but that’s not true. We can cook entire meals on two feet of counter if we have somewhere to put things down and keep that two-foot stretch clear. It’s resting spots, not counters, that we need.)

I also think that you can move both: counter and those drawers out to easy access to clean that window (it seems like it might go all the way down to the floor)

Counters are more useful as they solve both storage and resting spots problems.
I watch these videos mostly because I find them relaxing. You can also learn things and details that can enrich our homes. Excellent work by this team, architects and engineers.
While I personally don't like the thought of having the wardrobe right by the kitchen, the overall design of the apartment is beautiful, streamlined and comfortable to live in. I'd probably have sacrificed parts of the big shelf for clothes storage instead, but it's a beautiful look so I understand why one was chosen over the other!

Well i also feel the same but after lot of videos from the same channel i feel they could have used a sliding door cupboard which acts as a door to bedroom as well as a storage closet for clothes that is facing the living room sofa . And we can have drawers that face the balcony that separates kitchen and living room sofa which also acts like a counter top. But i dont know if my design costs more and thats why they would have went like that. But i agree this is a very good home. ❤
This is a very efficient use of the space. Though the layout is clean and functional, the owner's personality comes through with the use of artwork and plants. In a small studio, it can be difficult to avoid the bed becoming the focal point of the room, giving the impression that your home is one big bedroom. Here the sleeping area is cleverly concealed behind a storage unit.
Poland again! Yay! This is a really great apartment! Great balance with everything! Good storage and normal fridge! The artwork on the wall is beautiful and the flowers complete it!

Yes Poland! I'm so proud! The interior is wonderful! Functional and simple
A free-standing fridge has never looked so good! It's an accent piece. Wonderful apartment.
This apartment will appeal to many people who do not want to spend a lot of money on renovation. It is simple and liveable. Thank you for another great video.
Sensible & Achievable. probably the most relatable apartment, devoid of any gimmicks, which feels like a natural home rather than a modern art piece. I love all the episodes from Poland on NTS with airy apartments with natural lights combined with some scandinavian sensibilities for the interior. Kudos to polish designers.
love this apartment! it's simple yet still very cozy, so perfect for nights in
Very Very PRETTY! Too often spaces are designed to be functional and forget to be aesthetically attractive. This one does it all.
This is perfect! A dream design for a couple or single person especially if they dont plan on entertaining very often. LOVE this so much.
Beautifully open while providing separation for the bedroom. Love the open shelving, and little moments like the counter in front of the window.

I see a lot of people asking about the art. Michał Loba is who most folks are looking for!
Love the simplicity and mobility of the place. White walls and wooden make the flat really light!
Very good idea to make adjustments with movable furniture. Something many renters need ideas with. I like the idea of using a screen with beamer and how you can use the outside furnishings indoors if needed. Yes, it looks bigger than it is.
Absolutely love this, so bright and functional. Just the kind of space I would be happy to move in to.
I love the functionality of this space. The use of Ikea furniture shows that you can make a simple yet elegant home without a major remodel. Nicely done!
i LOVE this one because it is so desirable, it might not be as personalized as other apartments featured on the channel, but it's surely one of the most relatable i would never be able to guess it's only 32 square meters just from the video!
this is so possible for everyone , practical and affordable
Another marvelous Never Too Small apartment. Love the open design and the light.
Love this project, I'd love to live in this flat , so cozy and comfortable ❤️
It is cool to finally see some apartment in Poland, in here are such a small spaces are pretty common 💚 bardzo ciekawe mieszkanie
The divider with option to open from both sides is a great idea!
Only thing I didn't like was the wardrobe was next to the kitchen. Clotes might smell when they cook. Other than that, I loved it 💖

Jak miło zobaczyć tu wnętrze z Polski 🤗 Brawo. Bardzo przyjemne wnętrze 🙂
A lot of great use of Ikea products. This feels like one of the first videos that doesn't rely on designer furniture.
Lovely, bright, functional! What’s not to love! Świetna robota dziewczyny!
Great floorplan and layout by using large scale furniture to zone spaces. The only item missing is a rug to ground the sofa, coffee table and ottomon. A rug will add dimension and texture to the living room. Overall a bright and comfortable home for a couple.
great space! as others have mentioned very approachable and thoughtfully designed. the room divider doesn’t seem bulky and neither does the couch.
yes Poland! simply wonderful. so many details, so functional but spacious and light!!!
Piękny projekt, funkcje użytkowe zachowane, jak to w Never Too Small. No i ta (ten) 🐕 "Wichura" 🐕😁
The overall look is good, but there are a few things I'd have done differently. First, never would I put my wardrobe into the kitchen. But where else then? I think the dividing shelf thingy could've been a great wardrobe. Yes, it would make the bed area slightly darker, but there is a huge window, I think it'd be fine. Then that tiny desk. The space seems too small and dark to work. So instead, I think I would've put an pull-out desk in the room-dividing shelf/wardrobe. I mean, make half of it a wardrobe, the other half a shelf with a pull out desk and doors at the bottom to maybe put away a chair. This way the kitchen/dining area would be more open, the dividing furniture would serve ore purpose and you'd have a working space with more natural light.
Very creative and beautiful. Love it! I especially liked the kitchen.
I really like it, the only thing I would have done is trying to locate the wardrobe closer to the sleeping area or at least conceal it. It looks like a wardrobe in the kitchen.

A lovely welcoming flat to enjoy coming home to and relax, after a day's work, in a bright atmosphere. Simply beautiful.
Lovely one, specially that bathroom area with that piece of art.
i'd love to live in here. thanks for showing what a proper design can do to the life of an ordinary person
Poland ❤ finally! Nice selection of art also
Liked the fun window concept! The balcony is a big plus for this apartment.
there is clear polish signature to it - signature of QUALITY.
this is my favorite episode
the space would flow better if the bedroom is swapped with the kitchen, and repositioning the shelf unit to be parallel with the windows instead of splitting the window into two sections.
This is amazing flat. It is the bright and atmosphere place. There is a lot of bright!
Yes, the ability to change the lay-out!
finally no custom builds its amazing and leaves room for changes in style!
Soo great. Clean, economical, tasteful. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
32 sqm! Great work!
Loved it....white, well-designed and graceful!
I love this apartment , very good use of space
Simple, beautiful and functional. Perfect - i would live here.
Loved this one - just the shelf-desk combination is handy yet chic as so many other things.
Simply beautiful and so adaptable! Many interesting ideas to get inspired. 😍🤟
Well done. By creating walls with the furniture you can make all work without building walls. It looked perfect for two and a dog.
Great to see a flat from Poland! I like the neutral color palette.
Finally someone that thinks about storage, is a little bit too white but I understand why, very easy implementation for “regular people”.
very minimalist :) i love n enjoy it
Absolutely functional and comfortable. I really really like it.
i really love the natural light that comes in the apartment
Everything is nice except the bedroom. Every day would be a huge pain to make the bed. It is worthy to take some space from the living room so you can walk around the bed.
Beautiful, Bravo excellent work. I love it. Regards from Montreal🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🙏👍
quite cosy. Excellent work.
Very pleasant and light apartment, cosy and comfortable atmosphere
Simple and cozy apartment. Well-designed .
loved it!! the plants here and there are *chef kiss* well designed and the spaces are perfectly used🥰 wishing the best for them!
Really hope a future space will feature a beautiful aquarium. This space is amazing with the light, design and features. Would love to live there
One of my favorite!

Najważniejsze nie zagracać. Dobra robota! Ten obrazek w łazience jest super. Pozdrawiam z Saarlandu 😀
With the armoire being so close to the kitchen… I would definitely seal it and install weatherstrip so clothes don’t smell like dinner !
This is one of my favourites
Commenting as the vid is playing... I'm also a fan of furniture that is not fixed (apart from the sink and oven!). It really does give flexibility and adaptability. I like the colour scheme. The half and half open and solid storage unit is a triumph. Kitchen-dining area work well in all respects. I woukd have a taller mirror in at the start of the living area (the only chang I'd make!). Excellent job. G Ire
You made a very good work! Congratulations! I love it! I know that Krakow is a very pretty city. You are very lucky because you are living there!
Great video ... Great layout ... Love the idea, like the design, like the execution
SO MANY great tips!
Och, such a beautiful space! It's look cozy and comfortable. Love it! Kisses for Wichura!
