You know how Architectural Digest does a series where interior designers virtually redesign a space? I think it would be fascinating to have some of these architects back on the channel to evaluate a random for-sale listing, explaining how they would approach the space. How they manipulate the structure/floorplan is always so interesting!

It really is. Brilliant.

Clean, sophisticated, functional yet quirky (with splashes of blue colour, which separates the house from other houses)--great job indeed

The outside facade of that apartment complex is simply breathtaking. And the view from the plant filled balcony is stunning. I would live there in a heartbeat.

This kind of facade, it's pretty common in Paris :)

Full marks for this one. Practical yet playful. A great use of space with delightful decorative elements.

Wow. She has a talent! This apartment is extraordinary. My absolute favourite here is the rounded wall, but there are so many unique details!

I love the design of this apartment. brilliant use of space and color, one of my favorite designs in this channel for this year.

First of all, thank you NEVER TOO SMALL for your outstanding architectural content! I adore watching your videos and it really changed the way I plan on living in the future. Now, all I want is to have a small functional cozy home like you show in your videos. I find the videos very charming and peaceful! Thank you for all of your hard work! I also loved this home that Flore Gustin made! Absolutely lovely! I loved every single project made in Paris ( as I am planning to live there myself )! Thanks

The round wall is such a clever touch, it gives the feeling of a Grande museum, of course on a minute scale!

Brilliantly transformed! I especially love the flow of the spaces from one into the other with so much light, airiness and practicality. The bathroom / kitchen long wall is super clever indeed. Impressive execution of what formerly was a dark cave.

i can’t believe what a difference those few subtle curved elements make. the light bounces around the rounded corners so beautifully. this is one of my favorite designs that’s ever been on the channel, and one i constantly return to for inspiration in color palette, storage maximization, and unconventional layouts. who would’ve thought that fitting your whole kitchen into a statement island bench would look so cool?

Everything about this apartment is so good,so well thought of. A great mix of function and style.the apartment looks like a peaceful dream abode.

Walking directly into a kitchen island is a bit disorienting. Everything else is lovely.

Very nicely done make-over! It certainly feels bigger than the sq m given. Lovely choice of colours and of course that marvellous balcony and other plants in the place. I'd personally not want to have a kitchen where one needs to always walk around the island for the different appliances and storage, nor would I want a tiled surface as it is difficult to clean. Elsewhere someone pointed out that having clothes stored next to the kitchen is not a good idea. Hope that air vent contraption takes care of cooking smells. A great 'bachelor' pad!

obviously the kitchen wasn't designed with a home cook in mind. would not work for me

The whole space looks incredible. We hope to see more.

Love the idea of the curved wall to let in more sun. But the small appliances make it feel claustrophobic.

I'm lovin' the curved walls. Very unique and gives more character.

absolutely adore this apartment layout . Storage areas and touches of blue throughout...just efficient yet harmonious!

So many solutions ! I loved this design so functional and attractive ! What an amazing architect !

Brilliant, cozy, modern, minimalist, Le Courblusier, practic, luminous, clean, sophisticated. I love everything in this apartment. Thank you for sharing this, I enjoy every NTS project. Thank you genious people and architects. Love from México.

Everything works. Honestly a fantastic transformation.

The aesthetics of this transformation are very good, but the layout does not convince me, the clothes closet next to the kitchen? The room between the living room and the kitchen? I think the living room and kitchen should be in the same area. Additionally, tiles as a countertop are difficult to clean.

I agree. I would turn the bedroom 180° and place it in the darkest corner with clerestory windows on the internal wall. That allows the curved wall to be retained to maximise spacial flow. The corner vacated by the bedroom would become the kitchen area. The laundry area would be in the same space. The two corner windows of the new kitchen area would allow light to reach the entrance. A dining area would sit naturally between kitchen and living room whilst allowing full interaction with guests. A bathroom door intended to remain closed wouldn't make natural light a problem and allow for conventional privacy. Materials, colours, finishes could remain the same. I would replace the kitchen worktop with a smooth blue surface though as I dislike tiled counters.

I love the clever use of storage, that dual function bathroom door. Also I'm loving the pops of cobalt blue ❤

Absolutely gorgeous space! It really does not seem small because of the light, high ceilings, and simple palette/decor. It looks like a really lovely district of the city as well.

Really love the female architects' work I've been seeing lately. There's a practical aspect to their design often lacking in male counterparts. The door to bath/sink is ingenious and provides nice continuity. May require wiping up sink or leaving door cracked if no exhaust fan is in place. The countertop would be handy drop zone when returning home with groceries, etc. If you retrieve your refrigerator items when beginning meal prep, no need to walk around the counter. Since they have a kitchen sink I don't understand the comments about hand washing. If the vent pipe were a problem, I imagine she would have enclosed it. Since the bathroom is so tiny, I don't have a problem with clothes in kitchen area. It has doors to keep smells out. What is so difficult about grabbing your clothes and getting dressed in bathroom or bedroom? It's a tiny apartment. Are folks put off by female architects or just being nitpicky? More please, this is fabulous 😍. TFS

😍Wow! I love everything about this. The colour scheme is perfect!

Vous avez beaucoup de talent Quel belle rénovation

Absolutely stunning. It is so lovely and bright and cheerful. The bedroom is so cosy. The before and after shots show what can be done with the right architect. Brilliant.

The wall unit is absolutely amazing!

WOW! Cleverness, beauty, light. This project has it all. Bravo!!!!

This home emphasizes the beautification and expansive thinking achievable when transforming a small space, with special attention to making it feel as cozy as any larger space. I'm a big fan of the consistent blue theme that fills the home. The design employs a clever use of blue, and also in contrasting sequences, creating a visually striking effect. Thank you for the home-inspiration!

One of the best flats this channel has ever shared. I absolutely love it. The use of colour and spacing is ingenious.

Absolutely stunning- this is a very thoughtful and elegant apartment. Loads of room to entertain, yet also provides peace serenity. One of the best reasons to watch this channel. 💓💓✨

Your unique home is a true work of art! It's unlike anything I've ever seen, and I love how it reflects your personality and creativity. ✨

The layout was brilliant. Bravo! In particular, the double-sided kitchen bench allows two people to work comfortably together in a confined space

love the curved wall, integrated bench and fireplace

Love the colors. I would love to live there.

It’s lovely especially the colours but I would change the whole layout. I would put the bedroom where the lounge is so it’s open concept and you can walk into the kitchen / dinning and lounge area from the entry door and put the lounge where the bedroom is. Makes more sense but a lovely apartment

It was mentioned in passing, but the street side of the apartment is the one with the living room and balcony. Personally, street noise/energy that permeates my sleeping space is a nonstarter, so I understand a layout that prioritizes privacy. Additionally, while narrow, the way the layout elongates that main space and light is veeeery pleasing

@luizamourarabelocosta2290

looking for this comment! Even though the street side is where the living room is in the project I feel that the kitchen/living room situation would improve a lot with this change. Even the wardrobe could be inside the bedroom. And they could use double glass windows...I don't know, the apartment was really well executed, but it doesn't feel as 'fluid' as it could be. Anyway I like the colours and the some other solutions.

Oh gosh! This has to be one of my favourite spaces. It is so clever and bright!

Somehow just insanely beautiful. Complicated shapes, contradictory colors, insane aesthetics. Love it.

One of the more charming interior design lately. Thank you for sharing NTS!

Wow. Quel changement.. très joli appartement, vraiment bravo 👏

Remarquable architecture! Not only is the space incredibly rationalized, but the stylistic Le Corbusier inspiration a total success! I wish this young architect the fulfilling career she deserves

Brilliant design! I loved everything about this apartment. The curved wall between the bedroom and living room adds such elegance to the space. I love the natural light in each living space. The door in the bath that reveals the sink and vanity when closed is a great design feature. Fantastic job! ❤

Love this design, so sleek and highly functional. That bathroom door/storage door feature is ingenious!

That integration bathroom doors and storage wall doors is a stroke of genius! Very impressed.

While on the whole I like what's been done to the apartment (the color pallet, the furniture, eliminating unnecessary walls, and allowing a lot more sun into the center around a curved wall), I have to say that it seems a bit odd to have your wardrobe in you kitchen/dining area. Is your partner supposed to eat breakfast while you are dressing next to them? The bathroom door seems a bit awkward as well. Although the kitchen sink is probably your first recourse if you just need to wash your hands I can imagine times when it might not be available and a person might not want to touch the door because of their greasy or otherwise very dirty hands. Maybe a sliding door?

Yeah, it's an extremely challenging footprint to work with. Very creative solutions here (love that bathroom door idea!) but if I were an owner I'd want to see one or two more layout options that address some of the same concerns. Maybe this is the best that can be done but your daily life movement is very bifurcated here - part of the pros and cons of living in a city like Paris.

@@minako_bg Yeah, it looked a bit odd to me in the view from the entry door, but I've seen other tiny Never To Small designs that incorporate similar entry ways, so I guess there are folks out there who like it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If I had the freedom to move the plumbing and interior walls around a bit I think I might have made that entry into a curving hall lined with mostly-hidden storage as shown leading between the bathroom (which I am just going to assume we can't move far) and the current living space and move the kitchen into share living space. Some of the current kitchen could be subsumed into the bedroom (maybe as a wardrobe 😉) and the rest could made into little entry cloakroom affair with a bench to take your shoes off and storage for them. The kitchen itself was already quite small and mostly hidden from sight. I can imagine bits of it being built into the storage along the way into the living room or made less obtrusive than being the first thing you see upon entering.

Absolutely amazing mix of having a functional base, and building esthetics off of that

Love it. Amazed at how much has been fitted in under the island.

Perfect in colors, shapes, materials and very practical. BRAVO!

Absolutely lovely! Very impressive and I love the blue throughout!

Such pretty blue with lots of light. The bedroom looks super cozy.

Happy 150th Episode!

I LOVE the use of colour throughout and the bathroom door is a great idea and may in fact solve a problem i have in my own unit!

This is incredibly thoughtfully done

Ja'dore!!! And even though it uses white as the base, it's not boring at all with all the kooky pops of colour. Gorgeous apartment

Amazing transformation, really love this one for its uniquiness and cozyness!

Loove it, such smart use of the space!

Extremely creative and colorful solutions to update a dark, sad, outdated space!

Wowzers - this is gorgeous. That blue with the terracotta 🤌

So many clever solutions. I found myself rewinding several times.

Love the colourful grout contrasting with the tiles

That kitchen feels so "French" and the colored grout in the bathroom is a lovely custom touch!

amazing design. I love that you walk into the kitchen

Absolutely beautiful! Brava!

Stunning makeover! I love the color scheme of the tiles and light feeling to the whole apartment, it feels so fresh and smoothly finished with that curved wall! It's my first time to spot a ceramic sink for the kitchen; I prefer the stainless steel finish as it seems more practical for daily use.

The storage and doorway is very clever.❤

I just love how the bathroom door becomes one of the storage doors when not in use. Chef kiss

Love any projects where architects/designers can transform an older space in a rundown conditions into nicely livable space like this one. Going through my own renovation of an 80 years old room at the moment, I can empathize the challenges 👍 This is a nicely executed makeover. I’m probably biased as I’m very partial to any Haussmann space , building and structure

Some weird decisions but they work! I really loved this!

My new fav NTS project hands down

Stunning. A space that is, like she said, a “modernist cocoon”. A small space that feels vibrant and airy.

Très belle rénovation; astucieuse et fonctionnelle !! de plus les couleurs sont très belles.

I just love it! And it looks bigger than 43m2 👍

It is such a clever use of space, especially making that weirdly shaped corner in what used to be a kitchen into a shower with integrated shelving. It's one of the most clever and interesting transformations seen on this channel. On top of that, she might be the French architect with the best English pronunciation who has been featured in this channel so far.

I love how she designed the bathroom which can be open and yet not really visible 👏👏👏👏

Wow! Love it! 👏

Beautiful home. I like all the design elements.

A beautiful work of genius.
