Located on the top floor of a Heritage listed Victorian terrace house, Camden Loft is one three apartments created by subdividing the former family home. Tasked with keeping the open plan feel but providing different spaces for privacy, Craft Design made full use of the space's volume by inserting a central joinery cube which houses the plumbing and bathroom. While also acting as a platform for a new mezzanine area that contains the bedroom and home office. A floor-to-ceiling shelving and storage unit runs the length of the loft, first appearing to be a gallery wall but on closer inspection, it also houses the hidden steps leading up to the mezzanine area, where a Japanese style bed lies cleverly concealed.

Let somebody life there and it gets messy, dusty and soon it will look completely cluttered. Who wants to clean that all the time. I prefer, closed closets at least bottom to hip and a few open shelves more on eye hight. I feel like that’s what the work space needs if you already have that open staircase wall.

    This is a terrible design for storage. It's more like for a magazine wow-factor than for actual usage. One thing in common you would see in tiny houses is that people use drawers instead of open cabinets because they are more efficient in terms of organization and storage space, which is quite a common knowledge in tiny house design. Also, 54 sq meters is considered big for a condo or a flat in my city (and I guess most other big cities would be the same). I've seen smaller condos with more functionality and storage than this. A 54sq meter condo is typically a 2-bedroom in my city, and is typically on the higher spectrum of the price range. These open shelves make this big apartment looks smaller and more cluttered than it actually is.

    This is the only tiny space I've ever seen online that's actually comfortable. I worked at the school of architecture at my local university, so I can see a few of the subtle tricks being used here. Architects in my humble opinion seem usually to have a penchant for making things too complicated and expensive for the rest of us in these videos, as if they invent stuff just to showcase their abilities and to prove how complicated they can make things. You can make anything interesting if you throw enough money at it. But most of us can't. I do wonder about a few things. I'd need something like a nightstand or shelf within reach, by the bedside, to store things for use in bed, and I'd need a lamp of some sort to read in bed. I see he's got the outlets and ledges for it. Maybe he just decluttered things temporarily for the camera. Another issue I've been made acutely aware of, over time, is that I've never seen one of these living spaces that was accessible to someone disabled or older. The disabled are are least 25% of the population... and more, if one counts people that are simply elders. Everyone becomes disabled at some point in their lives, whether temporary or permanent. What I've learned from the job I had and in my own life, is that most architects exclude or ignore the disabled, unconsciously, and actually don't know much about Universal Accessibility or the ADA, unless they go out of their way to specialize in Universal Accessibility architecture, no matter which country they reside in. And that's a shame, because as I said, architects like to showcase their talents and ability to solve problems in clever ways.

There are statistics to back it up. The world is disproportionately tailored towards the able bodied and for many, being disabled has a massive impact on the person and their families earning ability. Resources to help are only available to those with the ability to access them or someone to advocate. Too many people turn a blind eye to the struggles of disabled people in a society focused on what you can earn, its dehumanising and when people try to pretend there is no issue it doesn't help.

    Can't say I expected to like this, but then I loved the way each little room felt! Little details I loved in this space: - built-in bookshelves that completely fill the cathedral vaulted ceiling - the dark reflective backsplash in the kitchen - the colorful entryway shelving, and the color scheme of the apartment - the trendy kitchen light - the monkey hanging in the kitchen - the owner's efficient wardrobe - the full sized dining table - the "temple" dedicated to something the owners love (coffee) - the recessed, LED-lit bathroom shelf - the rocker shell chair (I have it too, and it fits this space way better) Things I would change if I lived here long term: - add a minimalist white or clear railing to the stairs for safety - separate the office from the bedroom somehow. (a) integrate it into the livingroom? (b) add pocket door covers to the office space, and have art on those cabinet doors to blend into the look of the built-in bookshelves. - add a stool to the balcony - create a more substantial headboard or wall design for the head of bed - replace bathroom sink with a wider and more modern bowl - balance out the color saturation by adding one or two large art pieces to the walls in the empty walls opposite the bookshelves Thank you NTS as always!

    Very nice. It's both stylish and practical. The furniture and layout of the living room seems awkward though. Putting the flat screen on one of the long blank wall spaces (between the windows and balcony or the bathroom wall) and rearranging the existing furniture or getting new furniture more fitting to the space might help. Putting a small desk in place of the current TV table with a view out the balcony would make for a better office space than right in front of the bed upstairs. That space could instead be used for closet space for clothes and linens (something I did not see a lot of in the apartment). It could be built-in or filled with a shallow dresser, wardrobe, or vanity. At least that's what I would do were the space mine. Cheers!

(I currently get dressed in my living room every day, right near my front door. No one is here when I do, so where it happens really makes no difference.) Also I agreed about the vanity desk thing so there wasn't a need to restate that. I'm thinking they choose to keep that entire storage wall that goes up from the kitchen cabinets into the loft area and down the stairs into the living room as primarily open shelving for the visual impact. To have taken the area up there and enclosed some for closet space would have changed that.

    Wow! Love this specious flat which doesn’t require you to pack up the furniture at the end of day! The layout is both open and beautiful, you would not feel boxed in! The staircase is perfectly hidden with the open shelves which is very clever, love how you used that bit at the star of the video! The bright yellow adds a nice kick to the whole design. I’d love to live here, but I’d turn some of the open shelves into more functional storage spaces coz I don’t have so many things to display! And get a bathtub in! Love it!

    I really like this place!! I can't believe how much storage and function was packed in the kitchen! Which isn't necessarily small, but it is rather minimal in layout. Love that there are stairs and not an impractical ladder up to the loft. Personally, I would need glass panels or something like that around the edges of the loft (not just open frame railings). But that's just a quirky paranoia I have that things will up and fall over the edge. 🙃

    A 54sq meter condo is typically a 2-bedroom in my city, and is typically on the higher spectrum of the price range because it's considered big. 37-45 would be considered medium sized and would be 1-bedroom. Studios are typically less than 36sq meters and these are considered small. These open shelves make this big apartment looks smaller and more cluttered than it actually is.
