What an amazing building. And to be still standing today is remarkable. The apartment has so much natural light. Whilst black would not have been my choice of colour everything blends in well.
So lovely. The base is wonderful to start, with such wonderful light from all directions. I’d get rid of that TV blocking the window in front of the sofa and opt for a projector/roll-up screen; that view is stunning.
Agreed! I am always surprised when people have the TV be the focal point. I haven't lived with a television for 14 years, I instead just watch on my laptop, and have considered a projector as well.
@@minigiant8998 oh you think? don't think it's a piece of art but it's personnal. I don't have tv so don't used to integrate it in a room. My choice with a view like that will be to only see the view, but it's not ma appartment ^^
Really nice aesthetic and I like the fact that there's plenty of storage. The outside design of the building is so exciting even after time. This is what architecture should be: exciting as well as functional.
I love the idea of having light on all four sides! But I'm not convinced about taking down the walls between the bedroom, living room, and kitchen. What if someone wants privacy or to take a phone call? Sound travels. I also don't like how you need to open two doors, including a big one, to get to the fridge. Also the laundry in the bedroom, wouldn't the noise be annoying if someone is sleeping. Just some odd details I wouldn't want to deal with. Love the look of the place.
@@LottoLogistayou live with what you have. But it was designed for how they live, so those things don’t bother them. I wouldn’t like floating “walls”, but maybe they don’t have any secrets and the washing machine makes white noise. I wouldn’t say no to a flat in Toorak, Melbourne.
I hope the days of taking down walls to "open everything up" are soon to be over again. I heard that rooms are actually coming back and I second that. I was never a fan of open floor plans. I have friends with an open apartment and you never have one second of silence there
This is beautiful, what an incredible building. The lift grate! The aerial passageways! The view! I'm so glad the whole surrounding build is still standing and cared for. I love that everything was kept low to the ground, it feels so spacious even though with all the storage there's actually quite a lot of stuff in there. I personally like all the black joinery, it really feels like it was embraced as a feature rather than being something to hide. And the entrance way cupboard with the special doggo room is so charming. I don't think he even touched on the light on the swing arm in the living space and what looks like a winter garden rather than a balcony. My only concerns are that the fridge cupboard door could be annoying though aesthetically lovely; and that if it's all the original glazing it's going to be a bit frosty in Melbourne in winter. Truly such a beautiful place though!
Oh I love this apartment so much. The fact there's only one apartment per floor, the aspect and view, and the light! Very clever, thoughtful and intentional restoration and design structurally and with elements that enhance the lives of those who live within. Gorgeous.
I love that they worked around the windows and made sure that they did not cover the view. And I love that they made the cabinets seem like they are floating by elevating them. Makes cleaning so much easier 😂
I LOVE how the flat is flooded with natural light!!!!! Lifting the cabinetry off the floor truly helped keep an airy feel. It's nice to see they love the fur baby like family. Having his own private area but up on the couch with cuddles.
perfection! ...AND the Lift & outside stairs & connecting aerial walkways.. Fabulous. LOVE that this original building is still standing and being used so beautifully.
Lovely flat. Also, as a Swede I was glad to see a Sigurd Lewerentz book laying on one of the shelves. I live next to the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm, and often see his work on my walks there. Not least the Chapel of Resurrection, completed in 1925.
This was actually beautiful everything flows beautifully I love how you didn't just randomly chuck in some Eames chairs everywhere and actually designed the place
Wow, all of this in just 58sqm. The building itself is beautiful, I like everything of it (colours, materials) and even the furniture legs make perfectly sense
@@Eunegin23 yup I agree that 58 sqm isn't that small (european here too). Compared to the 54 sqm place I'm about to leave though I can't help noticing how the right planimetry and furniture choice can really make the difference.
im suprised that for 58sqm and only one bedroom this doesnt feel that spacious, I live in a 63 sqm 2 bedroom apartment, of which 4-5 is a balcony and it feels way more spacios than this, especially the bathroom and the kitchen
i love the concept and configurations of the flat. the only thing i wasn't fond of was the black, as i felt a lighter color would have enhanced the beautiful light and space and openness of the apartment. the kitchen table/work table seemed a bit *board roomish* to me, but that's personal preference though.all in all a lovingly restored space. what a dream to have the entire floor - well done!
Yes, I kept thinking I loved it except for the black - but they clearly love it, and it wouldn't be the most difficult aspect to change if they ever decide they want a refresh.
Lovely flat with beautiful views. I think the dark cabinets would get me down after a while and I would miss having a proper bedroom especially - but my favourite in a while. 👏
Wonderful space, exactly how an apartment should be with lots of workable, considered storage and everything having a place, the only add on I would have is a bath, can't live without mine!
@@nfdafds32423I tend to agree. Although I do live in a 50m2 apartment and have a modest tv and modest couch. To quote Joey Tribbiani “but what’s all your furniture pointed at?! “🤣😂🤣
What an amazing style building. I love how architects have the ability to look at the whole space and consider everything, I really love what they have done with this space. Thanks NTS! 💖💖💖
Wow! What a cool building complex...I love how the color palette of this flat makes the gorgeous painting really stand out. And of course the renovation is tasteful, clever (adore the broom closet, which often seems overlooked in many of these NTS videos, but utterly necessary) and respectful/sympathetic to the heritage of the building. Feels modern yet cosy/liveable.
So elegant, peaceful, and efficient! Ever modern apartment should designed this way, and every restored apartment should be restored this way! My place is 200 square feet larger, but seems so much smaller!
This video showcases an inspiring restoration of a modernist apartment in Melbourne. With just 58sqm, the architect has skillfully revived the space, blending contemporary elements with the apartment's original character. It's a testament to thoughtful design and preservation, resulting in a stylish and functional living environment.
Fabulous! I love all your design choices (tho I'd have more white in the kitchen... a minor detail). I agree re having your own washing machine. Simplified, lightsome and brilliant. Every success to you, Mr. Ellul. G Ire
Remarkable! well thought out changes to suit their needs, including thinking of possible alternative uses of furnishings. Very sleek and elegant. Lucky for them to live in such a classy place! I would have chosen a lighter colour (of wood) for the massive furniture, but it is a matter of taste. I would also want a proper door separating bedroom from living room. I might have opted for a screen and projector instead of a stand TV.
One of my favourites -- absolutely love the palette, the simplicity, and the character. I live in a condo with floor to ceiling windows. which is beautiful, but without wall space for shelves and art I struggled to bring in personality. I love the bench idea, and how they were used to display books and art and bring in that lived-in feel.
I am in love with this apartment. Colors and light and layout and add to that the nature of the building itself and I am extremely jealous of their good taste and the apartment that contains it. Makes me want to hire this guy to design my house (in 20 years! lol) The only things I would change is less of his benches everywhere and different hinges for the cabinets and doors. The opening the fridge cabinet and then the fridge door would drive me crazy! I've always needed a glass fridge door to stare at my food in a daze combining ingredients in my head. My current fridge beeps at me when I do this... but I digress. Fav NTS apartment yet, I think. Good job
It is a lovely apartament. It's interesting they kept the furniture low to not block the view of the city, but put a pretty big TV console smack in the middle of it 🤣
agree, a couple of positive comments about the TV but i would have liked to have seen something like a drop down screen, he or they are architects after all 😅❤
It certainly looks bigger than 58 sqm. The apartment and building are lovely, and the lad looks chill. I am glad they were able to create such a nice space.
The living room looks like an office and the bedroom reminds me of changing rooms in a public bath.. Also I'm not sure putting a huge black shelf in the middle is a very innovative use of space. And it makes the room appear much smaller than it is 🙈 but of course I know that this made especially for their needs and this is what matters. 😊
To begin with, the building is iconic in a true sense - nothing like the box-like buildings we have today. The ipen bottom joinery separating the bedroom is understandable, lets the light, aur, and the dog in :) love the dog entry detail. The only thing I'd change if it was my space would be to remove the TV. Wouldn't trade that view for another screen
Wow.....this definitely has it all.... awesome in design space style....this definitely never to small at all....look and is amazing....I could move in immediately.... wouldn't change anything...well done
Damn, i love how much windows are there and i love that terracotta color of the building. Very peaceful place, good for work and living. Thank you for sharing with us. 👍
This is magnificent. The building, the colour of the building, the windows, Vinnie's bedroom, the monstera, the view of the city, the storage, the bathroom..... can I live there please? 🙂😍
congratulations on making your small space feel and look like a much larger home - love love love what you have achieved with your renovation- thank you for sharing 😍
What an incredible iconic building. The design is so different. As for the apartment and the renovation..WOW! Where to begin? Everything is so considered and focused. The natural light levels are astonishing.. The five years well spent. The end result is on a new level. What a home...a working home. And so unique. Simply stunning. Again one of those homes [you] simply want to move into and stay forever. Thank You so much for sharing this with us all.
I could live there - so clean and beautiful with tons of light! All of your benches have triggered my brain to think how I could incorporate some benches into my own space. So well done!

One flat per floor and an in-apartment elevator?? The dream!!!
Maintenance and breakdown management will be a pain though. =|
Strata fees on a personal lift would be huge
Makes moving in or out a breeze!
@@wilmaknickersfit I'm sure there's a service contract of sorts, but definitely still a pain if it breaks down!
It's the external stairs that I love.
That asus ad right in the middle was really jarring, did not expect that!
What an amazing building. And to be still standing today is remarkable. The apartment has so much natural light. Whilst black would not have been my choice of colour everything blends in well.
Very nicely done, although the relatively big size makes it much easier to turn this apartment in a very liveable space.

I’d get rid of the TV full stop.

Thought the same as you about the two doors to the fridge. I once stayed at a place that had that, and it was annoying.
I totally agree, particularly with the bedroom space. Open-floor plans are great but you need SOME kind of privacy

It's only the two of them living there - I guess they don't need too much privacy. They can do the laundry when nobody's sleeping.
‘Functionality needs to come first’. Well said. Totally agree.
I love this building. Years ago, when I worked late shift, I'd change my route home to go past this building. It's magical.

An absolutely inspiring space. I like that you mentioned the lands of the Wurundjeri people.
What a brilliant block of flats. That's how it should be done.
Beautiful transformation❤. Minnie is adorable❤❤❤

I love home tours that just relaxes me and the beautiful doggie 🩶
Nice air-conditioner idea. No spoiling of the interior.
Hey! I'm in Melbourne right now! (for the first time). So far I've only been in the center, it's nice to see these cozier spots just outside.
Lovely flat. Also, as a Swede I was glad to see a Sigurd Lewerentz book laying on one of the shelves. I live next to the Woodland Cemetery in Stockholm, and often see his work on my walks there. Not least the Chapel of Resurrection, completed in 1925.

We will always support this channel no matter what. They're incredible at what they do.
The tv unit fits so well into the whole aesthetic which is rare
🤯 Absolutely amazing! Also terrific that it's back to original exterior colors! "Back to the Future" in the best possible way! 👏😎✌️
I really enjoy looking at minimalist homes where you can maximize your lifestyle not just your house style. 💯
Lots of great ideas, amazing building. Omg acres of natural light, panoramic views & sky bridges, my language! 🥰
Wow, all of this in just 58sqm. The building itself is beautiful, I like everything of it (colours, materials) and even the furniture legs make perfectly sense
Yes, beautiful. But sizewise it depends: 58sqm for 2 isn't small at all from my European perspective and after a few years in NYC.

to me this is one of the most appealing places i've seen on this channel so far, and there's been so many really good ones.
The building looks very unique. The apartment, in my opinion, looks like an office space and doesn't feel like home. Now my cup of tea.
i love the concept and configurations of the flat. the only thing i wasn't fond of was the black, as i felt a lighter color would have enhanced the beautiful light and space and openness of the apartment. the kitchen table/work table seemed a bit *board roomish* to me, but that's personal preference though.all in all a lovingly restored space. what a dream to have the entire floor - well done!
Agreed! I felt either white, or wooden tones would’ve even a much softer and appropriate feel.
Yes, I kept thinking I loved it except for the black - but they clearly love it, and it wouldn't be the most difficult aspect to change if they ever decide they want a refresh.
Totally agree!
Ah but the black was what brought it together in my opinion. I mean , I get it.
Very well designed. It made the space looks much bigger than it is.
lovely dog & beautiful scenery 😊
Always interested in seeing how others living in small spaces store and display their libraries.
This is probably my most favorite to date. I'd give my eye teeth to own one of those uber cool apartments.
Same, this is probably one of my favorites!
Lovely flat with beautiful views. I think the dark cabinets would get me down after a while and I would miss having a proper bedroom especially - but my favourite in a while. 👏
❤ “Design shouldn’t dictate they way we live, it should enhance it.” OH, I love 🥰 that so much 😊😊😊🤯
Beautiful space. The light is incredible..and you have managed to make the space feel quite large. Best part...the windows 💙💙
Wonderful space, exactly how an apartment should be with lots of workable, considered storage and everything having a place, the only add on I would have is a bath, can't live without mine!
Finally!!! An apartment with a tv!!! It really bugs me that so many apartments featured on this channel never seem to have a tv or nice comfy couch.
@@nfdafds32423I tend to agree. Although I do live in a 50m2 apartment and have a modest tv and modest couch. To quote Joey Tribbiani “but what’s all your furniture pointed at?! “🤣😂🤣
Most people probably don't want a tv to block their views.
Some people don't watch tv... we all have phones and laptops anyways
Who watches TV ?
I haven't watched a tv in the last decade 🤷🏾♀
Perfect!!!! Love it!!!! So much light, so bright and the contrast works so well.
What a fun and unique building! It would be a very happy space to live in.
Calm and clean soft and cozy functional and minimal LOVE IT 😍
Amazing building and great design. Love how commenters are both inspired and critical, but this works for the couple and their dog.
I love everything about this. The building, the furniture, THE LIGHTING?!?!
One of the best utilisation of space designs, fits so we I to the architecture of the building 🏝🥰 Love it

Cleaning, and washing hands
Beautiful intervention
