Excellent design. However I wouldn’t have done sliding shutters for the loft bedroom, but would have put double panel glass to isolate the sound from downstairs and still have the natural light.

actually living in Paris and trust me you need to be quite financially confortable to be able to afford this apartment. This is luxury in central Paris! Situated right in the Marais quarter. Large windows with natural light. Well-equipped kitchen. Biiiig bathroom. And to top it up, the interior design et decoration bring out the charm of the combination of vintage and modern design. It shows the unique goût of the owner. I would love to live in an apartment like this!

At 1 million dollars/euro, that place can look good. I find it odd for the channel. Wayyyyyyy toooo biiiiiig, and barely any creativity. It s simply a nice fancy empty bachelor pad. Good for tbe owner, useless for small families trying to make a small surface work bc it s all they can afford.

Luxury, beautiful and probably not very affordable- well, might be true. Still not very functional and if the owner ever even adopts a an animal or finds a life partner it's going to feel cramped. What's the point then? Apartments and flats are supposed to serve one main purpose- provide a living space. Frankly I do not see much of it in here. It feels like art gallery, yes. But I cannot picture anyone living inside an art gallery.

Well, yes, the accent and prononciation is lost on some highly educated french people. They spend 8 years learning English and are unable to speak it. A Spaniard, Portugaise or Italian with the same education or age speaks fluent French. Ras-le bol. He must believe le ridicule ne tue point. Hope he will spend a year in an Englishspeaking environment.

As a Maximalist who always faces the problem with having a hard time finding inspirations for my small flat to reach my warm, cosy but elegantly tasteful standard, this flat is everything I have ever dreamed of. The colour scheme, the design, the decorative objects- simply incredible. I love the clever use of the mirrors to make the room feel larger and spiral staircase that won't make the flat feel clustered whilst not compromising on its character and any decoration and functions. This is definitely my most favourite design on this channel!

This is absolutely a home. Most of the apartments you’ve featured before look like they’re intended to be overpriced AirBnBs, but this is clearly someone’s full-time home. I love those big swinging windows so much it almost hurts and I love the spiral staircase even more, but most of all I love that this is an achievable, realistically affordable flip of a space that feels like I could actually own something like it in my lifetime.

GORGEOUS! He definitely knew how to respect the building's heritage.

This building in the Marais is simply breathtaking. Gorgeous apartment. The architect has incorporated or highlighted lots of interesting design features - the parquet floors, the mirrored frameless screen in the living room and the spiral staircase. Love the highly ornate bathroom featuring only Italian materials. By Australian standards the kitchen looks a bit cramped but I understand in Paris this would be considered a good size kitchen.

@@deirdremacmahon8491 I would not consider this a 'palace' - it is quite small but the owner/architect cleverly used the ceiling height to double the space and the tall windows and mirrors make it seem very spacious.

Spiral staircases in tiny homes are beautiful to look at but most of the time it gives me anxiety using one. But since this vintage one has no gaps, I can actually see myself using this comfortably. so gorgeous too haha.

my favorite one so far. I've been watching since the beginning. I love the classiness and comfort of this design. Also I really appreciate the opened inferring of the French doors.

This elegant home in Paris lives up to the grace & dignity & history of the exquisite building in which it exists. Beautiful.

Beautiful and finally one appartement that looks like a home.

Beautiful! Nice to see more saturated colours on walls and furniture. Makes it really warm and inviting.

This is my favorite apartment you featured by far! Absolutely cosy, stylish, modern AND vintage. The architect has done a fantastic job.

Each room getting revealed felt like opening a gift after gift after gift. Truly a delight to watch!

This is one of the best apartments in this series. It has great personality!

One of the most beautiful apartments I have ever seen.

Wow. Normally I hate vintage style because it's always looks so full and cluttered, but not this one. Not only everything is in adequate number and spaces, but also there's very detailed thinking about each of the room and furniture functionality. Very inspiring. Thank you for the video.

Gorgeous! Utterly gorgeous! Proof that interesting furniture pieces can fit in a cleverly-designed small space. This is so elegant!

Brilliant design, magnificent fittings, and a quiet, calm atmosphere. European perfection.

Definitely one of my favourite NTS showcases. So chic. Shout-out to the beautiful vases and glassware.

This might be the most books I’ve ever seen in a home on this channel and I absolutely love it!

Beautiful place !! Lots of human touch ...there is life inside ..just beautiful !!

I just love this one! Like this one is so good! Really loved how this architect designed and incorporated everything so nicely. A really sophisticated one!

That staircase is gorgeous! Bring so much class and elegance to this apartment. Another inspiring episode from NTS.❤️🌹

I love this. Who wouldn’t want to live in the Marais? I love the marble floor detail possibly linking different floor surfaces. I’m going to steal this idea!

Wow, this is beautiful. I can't take my eyes off this appartment.

Elegant, sumptuous and opulent. Yet totally comfortable, warm and utterly divine! What an eye. I am besotted with his place. Superb. Quite frankly a sensoria feast of such beauty.

Wow this apartment has so much character.. great taste and choices

Oh wow, this is beautiful - that staircase! The mezzanine shutters are so clever. And it doesn't feel like a small space - because it's been treated with the luxury and interesting, colourful pieces of a much bigger house.

The clear delineation between the lounge and dining room creating a completely different mood is brilliantly executed, especially in such a small space. Love the bench which defines the dining space. That window and staircase in combination is a knockout. Stunning apartment with my only wish list item being a bath below the window in the bathroom which seems like the only wasted space in the apartment.

I love the sense of luxury with the marble, parquet, antiques and other beautiful items.

Finally, someone with taste and style!!! Lovely!!!

What an elegant and sophisticated apartment! I like how bright and airy it is and having the large windows really helps open up what might otherwise be a small dark space. It really feels bigger than 538 sqft! I do love that the architect moved the staircase. I love a spiral staircase anyway, but I feel here it really makes the best use of the space and adds to the romantic atmosphere.

Beautiful, Clever design allow plenty of natural light and plenty of storage 💜♥️💕 I hope he is hired by the people to cleverly design their apartments 💯🌟💜🌟💯

Yes! His message at the end is excellent. With good design, we can retain old/ historical buildings.

I’ve watched the most recent featured apartments but still coming back to this one. Just timeless ❤️

What an incredible transformation! This apartment is so beautiful and functional! Thank you for sharing this wonderful home tour! 😊

A beautiful space that is so unique, without compromising on functionality. One of my faves, that staircase is bellissima

Thomas you are the best! Great space. Practical. Amazing staircase. It’s very much in keeping with the building. Tres chique!

Le Marais is a very expensive neighborhood, very famous too. I love the big windows, the floors, everything is stunning.

So many of these small apartment are too minimal and lack soul. You have found the perfect harmony for living small in a great, exciting city of the world.

What a beautiful apartment. Oozes class and elegant comfort. I’m always wary of spiral staircases but even I could manage those (not sure if the hips would get through the bedroom door though!) I think I’ve watched about every one of these videos and this must be up in my top three. Am a sixty nine year old but could happily see myself living there.

It's like a Wes Anderson set! I love it. And his voice and accent! 'Ow very french. What a joy to watch! Makes me want to hop on the Eurostar with a baguette 🥖🇫🇷

The most lavish beautiful spaces on this channel

What a beautiful space! I love the colors used, and the floor.

A lovely apartment design that does not overwhelm with plywood and brown tones.

I love everything about this space. Cleverly done and with a beautiful character

What a wonderful space; a small treasure box. The details are well thought-out and beautifully realized.

I love the sliding shutters for the second floor!!! Not being able to isolate the loft was always the only thing that I disliked about lofts and he basically solved it.

I love this, especially how everything is seperated into rooms. I hate open plan kitchens and love that this is so functional and seperate.

This is probably the most tastefully and beautifully decorated flat ever to be presented on this channel. Tiny flat that looks like the apartments featured in interior design magazines. It's such a nice departure from all the plywood thats usually used in these tiny flats.

I love how it is both functional and beautiful, feels like a really opulent and generous space. I like how it feels like someone actually lives here too.

His home is IMMACULATE! I loved everything about this space.

Trés chic- no expense spared on this one! Love the materials and the palette used throughout, but that cramped kitchen- especially the corner where the drawer barely opens- gives me anxiety. If the spiral staircase occupied the same spot as the former concrete staircase, then perhaps the kitchen could have been opened up into the dining area.

So cohesive, warm, light & beautiful. Bravo.

A labour of love - exceptional taste and style ❤

I love to see a space that is not void of objects and colour.

The spiral staircase and the scalloped ceiling are the highlights of this unique apartment. Personally, I would have worked the kitchen into the main living/dining area and made a laundry and a pantry room where the galley kitchen currently is. Bedroom is amazing and the two floors always make a small unit more like a home. Thank you #NeverTooSmall for sharing this with us.

Simply breathtaking! I really see the oldschool Italian heritage coming through. Every piece inside this beautiful appartement tells a story

This is by far my favourite apartment! 😍 Love every inch of it and how it is decorated - the use of Chinese vintage cushions at the dinning table, the Chinese traditional paintings, the Chinese vintage vase, the plates on the wall, the selenite crystals in the bathroom, the marble counter in the kitchen, and the marble and tiles in the washroom and of course the stairs 💖 And how it doesn't look like a 538sqft apartment!

Fantastic apartment. Originally saw this in Architect Digest. Glad to see a video of this amazing apartment.

As much as I like the encouragement of utilising city spaces for tiny spaces, it's almost always in "trendy/artsy/highend/refined" areas - which leans on elitism. I'd like opportunities of tiny, beautiful spaces to be created in any kind of neighbourhood - the sleepy/young/low-mid/growing areas

I get what you mean, it came also to my mind that the architect is clearly well off in order to live there. However, maybe it is an example for people who have a certain favorite but expensive living area how it could be possible to live in such area. Generally speaking I would hope they would showcase apartments from Scandinavia as it is there not uncommon to have family apartments with the size of 55 sqm and 3 bedrooms. :)

I loved the way this apartment was created. It feels incredibly modern but also truly traditional and very liveable. Not an easy combination to get right yet here it has been apparently managed seamlessly. So impressive.

This looks so expensive! Which is not a bad thing, is an elegant show off apartment. Practical and so beautiful, love the attention put in the bathroom, for me bathrooms are super important. Even while the kitchen is small is very well used. Love this luxurious appartment.
