@@SOHara-ob7rl I agree. It's a bit odd to place the bed at the only spot with natural light source.. They could have the kitchen on the top (there's not a lot of room, but there's many multifunctional kitchens, where all functions are on one wall - folding doors, pullout table/workspace to choose from). I don't like all the plywood and would either change or paint it (if it was my place) because it looks worn out pretty quick. I think it's a shame to spend money on carpenters and choose the cheapest material (the carpenters did a pretty sloppy job, if you ask me). When building/renovating the manpower is always the highest cost on the budget (if you don't do it yourself). The staircase to the bathroom looks very sloppy made as well as the cabinet under bathroom sink. I would definitely sand and paint most of the plywood (or at least give it a whitewash), but sanding and smoothing the corners and edges would make a huge change. Also, where is the toilet-seat 😂? On the positive note; I like the metal staircase.

@@RipleySawzen Sorry. That is not true. They pack into cities because of lack of opportunities in rural areas dominated by a handful of land owners, and people of color pack into cities for the safety that comes by creating a sizable community. During emancipation and the industrial revolution, the shift away from an agrarian economy due to the emergence of commercial farming, refrigeration and modern preservatives required most people to relocate to a city in order to survive. The old model of growing your own crops and livestock was not taxed out of existence, the market simply eliminated a lifestyle.

brilliant .... i've watched this vlog more than 10 times

I love this. Such a good use of space but so modern and clean! Well done

very cool space, the only thing i would do differently is use a different material than plywood...I hate plywood

How does this even pass code inspection? I know here in the States, there is a trend of people wanting bigger houses that may be out of control, but I would feel like I was living in an elevator shaft here.

Your videos are inspiring to me - i wanted more now i feel ok with what i have.

Absolutely amazing! Very impressive.

they should paint that plywood. It's ugly in its present state. paint or white wash it, white stain, something. Ugly! other than that I think they did a good job with such a small space.

As a French speaker, I'd love to sit down and have a conversation with these guys. I love the design of this space.

Very creative in this tiny space, I think they did a great job and suits them.

These houses are amazing. I’d love to stay in something like this through like airbnb Thanks for showing all these houses Kristen :D

Virtually all of these ultra small dwellings are by young hipster singles, with occasionally a couple, or a group of young hipster friends living together. Once they get older and start having families, I am sure the allure of living in a trendy ultra-small space diminishes.

I'd agree sustainability is questionable here. I wouldn't want to live there year round but if it was in a vacation area it would be nice for a season.

That's fine. But live with what you need for the moment, then move on when you need something else!

kaunas888 It's not allure. In places it's necessity. Can't take or don't want mortgage? Just do it smaller for now! Works for single people and gives them time to save some money and get their shit together. And then again, once children live, you can go back to living small. It's about living in harmony with your needs. Your needs change, your house changes. But single people in their 20s don't need 4 bedroom houses.

+AnHeC Or maybe don't live in the middle of a trendy neighborhood? I know, I know, that's hipster sacrilege.

I love funny comments for this apartment video.

Very very unique! I love it!

Very Smart, Beautiful !!!!

oh my God , imagine living in a place like that in quarantine

*Peeing* in the middle of night should be a CHALLENGE !!

Hoping to go back to Paris in 2 years. We are doing our own country for a change next year. It’s such a beautiful city. I can’t wait to travel there again. I’ve been twice. You really need more than one day to see it.

living in a small space is not for me, but when I see how creative and resourceful they were while remodeling this tiny ''flat'', I'm becoming a lover of this type of home

Nightmare!I imagine myself in the middle of the night going to the toilet!!!!!

its very clever but I couldn't live there. ....far too many steps and quite claustrophobic

This can’t be called a house. I usually enjoy these videos because they’re fascinating. This is just a staircase. I would sprain my ancle on a weekly basis

Absolutely GENIUS!!

The glass for the bathroom / shower is way too close to the stairs. Disaster waiting to happen.

I would hope I never got sick and had to rush to the bathroom! It's quite dangerous if your feet don't even fit on the stairs properly, one false step or trip and splat! I'm clumsy, so this place, as clever as it is, would be a death trap for me. LOL

Nice to see how enthusiatic the residents are about their place. Looks like it would be an interesting place to inhabit.

When I see these staircases, I don't worry about the one in the house I live in! But amazing, building vertical in a small space, another great video!

The Asian's seem to do small spaces the best....sorry France.

I lived in a nondescript six tatami shoebox flat in Tokyo and I'd take this place in Paris in a heartbeat.

That really looks like it took a lot of time and money to do ... I hope it is worth it, and resaleable if they get tired of it. Some very interesting ideas there.

Very creative use of a vertical space. Love the solution to the lack of windows.

I have always been looking for a way to get the dirt and grit from city streets to fall from my shoes onto the kitchen counter. Congratulations on this ingenious solution!

Japan does small spaces far better. That French set up is unattractive and poorly designed.

You can tell that they know it's ridiculous because everything they show, they present as an explanation. Like, "we live in a stairwell because look at all of this light, it's great" lololol

I just discovered your channel and I just love it!

Nice and thanks for sharing.

I think it can be improved by moving the bedroom into the office / closet floor and made the bedroom loft a storage only, bad is horrible far from bed. Also kitchen can be smaller and add a chill space to relax at entry floor...

I think It's better to have a flatsharing in a U-boat submarine than that...

Great use of space!!!

all your videos are amazing!
