I need that dining table!! Anyone know what it is?
Love colors, lots of storage, the cat and how custom its to the owners ❤
The cat showing us around. Love how its color matches with the concrete aesthetic
Many years ago, when I was immersed in the loft scene in LA, I wanted to live in a space like this. But what I realized is that I am very conventional. I like doors, walls and illusionistic finishes.
There’s “industrial” and then there’s: Living in a what looks like an unfinished basement of someone who frequents yard sales too much. This was just not tastefully done IMO. 🫤
…the only tidy space is the bedroom area. It looks peaceful too. The rest of the space, I dont mind clutter, but here its too much for our liking. We would paint the ceilings with a colour that give some " warm and cozy environment".
The sofas and chairs does not seem comfortable for someone who works from home, it looks a bit hardy for the health of your back?
Bro talking about small spaces like.. you got a massive space! and super nice too lol
It is not that bad. When i read the comments, i was expecting something horrible. I get it is not everyone taste. It is not even my taste. But it is not bad either
I just want to hug this cat ❤
This is just objectively bad, they’re pretentiously trying to say it’s a stylistic choice but really it just looks terrible. This channel used to have genuinely creative solutions for small space living and show impressively designed and finished homes… now it’s just a circle jerk for bad interior design.
Aesthetically this might be my favourite place ever featured on this channel. I love it!
nice job on the lighting
The camera deformation is 🤢
I feel offended when a 50+ sqm space is called small while I live in 36 without having the option of just getting rid of unnessecary walls however I please because I rent. I get the creativity of all the spaces and I love watching NTS but, man, are these unrealistic if you don't have thousands of dollars (for custom made things) or don't own the space. I'm joking a bit obviously but these videos so often just feel like luxury solutions to a real problem, meaning not enough living space and especially AFFORDABLE spaces that also look nice. I would really like to see a space on a budget without tearing the whole space apart.
Not the animal coat on the ground. That's truly disgusting. Animals are not commodities.
История о том, как из большой трехкомнатной квартиры сделать бомжарную студию 😂
This design really appeals to my taste. I don't like spaces that look like an interior designer came in and did it for an actor or super model. I love industrial spaces. This is why Blade Runner is one of my favorite designed films. This is the third or fourth time i have watched your space.
Sophie the cat is an essential element of the decor- at once regal and domestic , she provides a universal appeal.
I absolutely love this space! It would be a dream to live in a place like this (bonus that it’s in Tokyo!)
That exposed ceiling just looks dirty and gross. 🤢
Brillant ! Beautiful ! Appealing !
That ORLAN book on the shelf, yaaaaaas.
8:53 what a cute chonker 🥹
This apartment is gorgeous! Such a well-thought-out layout!
Looks shitty ugh
gay appartment always on point, although their relationship is not
I can't understand why this apartment was chosen. Destroying a family apartment for at least 4 or 5 people and turning it into a bigger space for two is literally the antithesis of the NTS concept. The spaces aren't multifunctional and don't increase the availability of places to live. I don't even care about the aesthetics. They just destroyed a home for a larger family because they wanted extra space. That's not living in small spaces.
Honestly I don't like the concrete finishing of the wall. The junction between floor and walls is very ugly, and feels dirty… Why don't paint the walls, and use a skirting board?
The furniture is beautyful, but seems to be put in a garage…
okay but that shot in 5:17 is straight outta baroque painting!!
Ceiling a dealbreaker?
Like the new layout, especially moving the laundry room and getting a bigger bathroom & shower – much more user friendly.
This definitely isn't a small apartment, it's lovely nonetheless.
LOVE it and am deeply jealous.
It was a very calming video, and I enjoyed it very much.
Really beautiful!
Overall I like it but some parts feel unfinished to me
where is this guy from?? his accent sounds so familiar… like, south african.
I love it but more importantly- as some others have said – it is for real people instead of just being Instagram cool, aka generic, spartan and unlivable
Three balconies is quite a boon!
I love this industrial take. The finish/unfinish look is peaceful some how.
Love the seating area and it’s a brilliant idea to customise the height of kitchen workspace.
I actually love the layout and industrial style but many parts of it looks so unfinished and unrefined. The entryway is quite awful. Have they never heard of plaster, or baseboards? You can have exposed walls that look refined.
Very interesting work here, not my style but it's coherent and efficient. The only thing I'm gonna allow myself to criticize is the horrifying choice of art above the bed…………. what the hell is that
I adore this video, because it portrays how the constant assessment of needs reshapes the process of renovation. This place looks authentic and creative, witty and humble. Very cozy despite the fact that it's basically a concrete hall. I love how it reflects the personality and needs of its owners. They respect the space by exposing its features and its qualities instead of trying to conceal them – a very inspiring approach. The spirit of the space is incorporated into the design. The blush pink bathroom and the electric blue floor make such a good combo. Clearly, I love this apartment! 🙂
It's look more like 'I do My taste and you do your taste'. To much visual mouse.
A vibe of interior kintsugi of sorts. ❤
59 sqr meters ints not small apartament!
Love the creative energy of this space! Really good to see a fairly large space flowing and not chunked and walled up.
