Fits the clients needs, has meaning, minimal and the bathroom to kitchen transition, the acoustic consideration for the bedroom, the historic arch and contrast of white to warm wood tone for the bedroom/closet, the simple illusions with the mirror Murphy bed and the taller toe clearance underneath the cabinets to create the floating aesthetic….I can’t. This is stunning!!

    It’s gorgeous, I just feel like for one person this is like a normal size. Like I wouldn’t even call it small honestly if it’s just one person living there with cats

      Totally - it feels really spacious and minimal. I live in a 38sqm flat, which is nice enough and has good bones (I also have Corian countertops in my kitchen! Though a mid grey colour instead of that lovely marble), along with some challenges with the layout (mostly with where to fit a full sized fridge-freezer when the kitchen was designed for a tiny integrated under-counter one, plus incorporating a home office into the living area without it looking out of place), so 50sqm would definitely be nice!
