#smallapartment #microapartment
Pikachu’s expression says it all. This “apartment” looks like a storage closet in an office building.
Most of these places are more like com-partments than a-partments, at least to these Angelino resident's eyes, lol. But that one had a cute vibe to it. and on the ground floor too with fire alarm!
I was thinking exactly same🤔💭😬🙅🏻♀️
It is an insult to every person looking for a place to live.
Beginning to feel that we need to consider a hammock as a sleeping option
I kept thinking about hanging the bed to one of the walls and sleeping upright 😅😂😂😂😂 Didn't occur to me use a hammock. 😊
Hiya! I've got excited when I saw the thumbnail. Then my mind was blown away when I saw the floor plan 😮. That awkward space could be used as closet with a lot of tricks and creativity. But I can't wrap my head around where to put the fridge and the bed. We'll keep looking! 😊
😅😅😅 hamaca paraguaya
Some weird bunk bed with a workplace underneath?? Or a folding bed. I got nothing else lol
Murphy-beds save any situation!
I used to live in a studio apartment in London, I thought it was small until I begun to watch your videos, now it looks like a mansion.
At least the toilet has door. 😂
I would prefer to live in the last apartment with the toilet directly at the kitchenette. There you have room for a normal bed. This apartment is the negative highlight! 😂
The window opens the wrong way. People can see you sat on the loo!!!
You know that an apartment is going to be horrible and a joke when Usui-San shows his meal first (and it looks delicious), and flowers before he shows the apartment!
Any place that does not have a place for a standard bed should not be called an apartment. Even if you like sleeping on a futon, if there is no space for a bed, there is no good space for laying out a futon. It really isn't a livable space. Someone will rent it out if desperation, but i feel very sorry for them.
The futon is a workaround. In a way it’s an ear-in kitchen.
No fridge, no toilet paper storage, no loft/ bunk bed space. I said no, no, no.
I have figured out the solution, Usui-san! All you need to do is get an Egyptian mummy case and store it upright in that weird little entrance space. Then you can sleep in it standing up! 🤣
But this one is clearly a no anyways since it lacks the essential toilet paper storage. I also don't understand why they put a swinging door on the toilet when a sliding/folding door would block the usable room space much less. 🤔
😅🧟♂️
Or if you were a vampire and hung from the ceiling.
@@lli747 I thought of vampires ways to sleep also...😁
😅🧛
The more I think, the more I know: there are people who don't deserve an engineering or architecture degree. How difficult is it to design a building with 90-degree corners? If you don't have space to build decently, don't build. I get outraged by things like that...
I agree whit you, but I dont think the person who "built" this unit had any engineering or architecture training, let alone a degree, a lot of this "aparments" are just spare spaces some one has and one day thinks, "If I put a batrhoom here I can make 50 000 or so per month whitout any effort" Japanese goverment needs to start regulating this units a little more, this one dosn`'t even have space for a bed
@SteSatake This surely was a cellar room or any other room for storage and someone turned it into an "apartment".
Pikachu's sad face perfectly represents my feelings about thia apato 😂
If you don't plan on sleeping or having any food that needs to be kept cold, then this one is perfect. If not, then this is a definite no. There is small, and there is way too small. This one is the latter.
I think this is actually similar sq footage to his current apartment, just with a ridiculously terrible layout. The difference a good designer makes I guess.
If you have a front load washer with a flat top, you could put a small fridge on top, or put in a shelf for it, and the space in the end trace would be perfect for shelf storage. However, you'd definitely need a futon or folding bed for this apartment. Even for that price, this is just too small.
This is the most awkwardly shaped apartment I have ever seen! 😂
In all honesty, the price is the only thing that would convince me to consider it. The space by the door is basically a closet - just add a rod and shelves. You can put some storage shelves in above the washer too. The futon really is the only bed choice, but you could probably get away with a gate-leg table for more function.
The blue wall had me so hopeful, but whaaat is this layout?
I do love how we're all like "at least the toilet's behind a door!"
Suprisingly toilet had enough leg room😂
Ironía sin espacio para una cama pero buen espacio en el sanitario 😂
@@emanuelalexanderbarriosper8709 true😂
If you put a shelf in there for your computer, you could combine two functions in the same space.
😆
It's no where near the ideal but you know what? I'm glad that there's a clean, safe place to live in that price range for those who need or want it. And the toilet room window was nice!
Also, you might use the windowsill to store some (not a lot, agreed) toilet paper.
I would use the mysterious space beside the door as a closet and for shoe storage! A shelf on top of the washer would be helpful for storing cleaning supplies. Request a tiny fridge from the landlord to put under the kitchenette if it fits. Lastly, get a small foldable sofa bed and foldable table and chair.
It’s cheap rent compared to where I live!
No wonder Pikachu looks so worried. 😶
We can sleep in the closet, rocked by the washing machine😍
😅👔🌀
Glad to hear that you're going to keep looking. I think that one is the smallest, worst layout for an apartment yet! Very impractical...
Pikachu is worried. So am I. That bulkhead over the toilet is likely to bash a person's head if they stand up too quickly. This apartment looks nice but there is no space for actually living!
"The Triangle of Usui"!
This apartment was really weird... so impractical. I wonder what the architects were thinking with this one.
On another note: the hunt for your perfect home is great fun to watch! And such relaxing videos, too! It's great to come along on your calm yet intriguing adventures. It really helps me unwind when I'm too stressed to fall asleep. Thank you, Usui-san!
Kısa tanıtımda ne güzel görünüyordu, geniş bir daire diye düşünmüştüm, çok üzüldüm kocaman bir HAYIR, dilerim en güzel ve kullanışlı bir dairen olur🍀🌼💛
🌼💛
I think you could only use a sleeping bag to sleep near the blue wall, a sleeping bag that rolls up and is stored in the little storage nook that's by the entrance door when not asleep.
True. The sleeping bag takes up less space than futon but isn't as comfortable.
수납공간은 세탁실의 세탁기를 드럼세탁기로 사용할 경우 상단에 흡착봉으로 옷장을 만들 수 있을 것 같습니다
침대는 이불 수납 공간을 생각하면 차라리 접이식 침대를 사용하고 사용하지 않을 때는 주방쪽 벽에 접어서 보관하는 것이 용이할 것 같습니다
하지만 전반적으로 모든 벽면에 문과 설비가 있어 가구를 배치하기 매우 불편할 뿐만 아니라 공간 자체가 삼각형 구조로 낭비되는 공간이 크네요
My apartment is 67sq meter and I used to think that it’s too small for me but now I feel better after seeing this place. Living in such a small space is an art in itself, not everyone can accomplish being this minimalist and neat! Wow
Ahh, I think I will go home to lay my head and get some sleep. Wait, there is no place to lay my head here because I live in a closet! I shall sleep standing up! Seriously, though, what kind of layout is this? What a strange, strange place!
Привет Усуи! В этой квартирке архитектор не предусмотрел место для сна лёжа,только спать стоя!😂!
Coneheads?
Those noodles look amazing!! Pikachu’s expression was the perfect representation of my thoughts of this apartment!
Dziękuję. 👍
Nie ma za co.🥰
You got to the question "how would you arrange furniture" and I was still trying to figure out that little corner space 😂😂😂😂 not sure you'd be able to actually have furniture 🤔
Pikachu looks very worried! I have to be honest Usui....I like this one. Its interesting and quirky with a decent rental price. I would put shelving in the odd space with plants, books, and overhead lighting. Or toilet paper storage, of course! This isn't the worst one, but no idea how to sleep :)
Honestly, at least it could have room for a sofa bed and TV before it calls itself an apartment! As well as a fridge and a closet!!!!!! 😊
Spidy and Pikachu say no, and I agree with them.
Tokyo keeps shocking us with some nooks one considered to name "a livable apartment space" 😅
This tiny triangle can be, uh, better than living on streets, I think. There's a bathroom (with walls! And doors!), and kitchenette, and maybe some closet solutions above the washing machine and in the shoe rack corner.
Maaaaybe will be okay for a young person who has to save every penny, as the price seems lower than other apartments you've shown us so far.
the only positive thing is the colored wall.
light blue is my favorite color.
don't think there's space for pikachu and spiderman 😂
Although the configuration of this place is odd, it has air conditioning and is clean, and it is a palace compared to the studio apartments I have lived in here in the United States, for a fraction of the cost.
Well,the best I can say is the blue wall is nice.
And it is relatively cheap.
You need to be ok with sleeping on a futon to take this apt. Usui naturally shows a Japanese style futon but I might go with one that folds into a chair instead. IMO a cooktop is useless if you have no room for a refrigerator. I would have placed a sink and a small refrigerator at about the same height as the sink. Then, the tenant could choose to put one of those portable burners on top of the refrigerator. I would choose a coffee maker and tea kettle but other choices could be microwave or toaster. Besides the seeming Japanese obsession with having a personal washing machine despite questionable usefulness because of tiny drum size (Can’t wash bedding!) I also don’t get taking up precious space with built in cooktops either when there is no space for a refrigerator. If I was forced to try to live in this apt as is, I would put a dorm refrigerator in the laundry space (With the coffee maker and tea kettle.) I do appreciate the attempt to make this apt more psychologically attractive with the sky blue wall. 😂
Yeah, looks like your present place is still the winner, but at least that one has a reasonable price for living in a triangle. And toilet has its own room!!! ;) I'd make a closet out of that nook near the front door, and I'd store the rolled up futon on top of the washer/dryer in the laundry 'room'. A small dining table to function as a desk etc under the window and small fridge at the blue wall with a slim shelf of some sort for pantry and what-nots. It's doable, esp at that price point.
I can't understand how someone can think a person can live in a hole like this, without the space for a table and a bed.
Yay! A new video! I love the piano music. ❤
I want to ask you Usui, what is your ideal micro-apartment for you? Can you make a sketch or even a video about it?
It's wild that they designated an entire section for washing machine, but there's not enough space in the room to even have clothes.
😂 Wow! No place for your bed or table. No storage for your clothes because you won't have under the bed for storage. I love the blue wall, the kitchenette and the windows. The rest, not so much.
I am just relieved that the toilet has its own space 😂 Thank you for another great episode
There's not enough room to change your mind much less arrange furnishings 😅
I always wait for apartment tour videos on this channel ❤
Me too! Better than a soap opera 😅😊 I actually don't have a TV in my 268 sq ft castle 😅
I like it. Seems like a challenge, lol.
It's not ideal, but I think I'd put something in the entrance gap that functioned as a wardrobe. I don't need a tall shoe rack, only a small one would do.
I'd have a futon or folding bed. Then a projector screen for the big blue wall, and a small table and chair (possibly folding).
There's enough room in the toilet for a small stack of toilet paper, and room above the washing machine to put a shelf in and either put a little fridge up there, or use it for other storage.
Hopefully I could either find, or make, some corner shelves to fit between the kitchen and window, in that little gap.
Hey, at least you weren’t greeted with the toilet when you opened that door.
Me gusta la pared azul claro, le da un poco de vida y color a ese mini departamento.
Ben en fait je ne mettrai pas de meubles Usui san! Je tournerai les talons! Pas cet appartement!!! Jamais de la vie. L’architecte a oublié que des gens devaient vivre là 😅
I honestly feel like the developers creating these apartments actively dislike people.
Looks like they forgot to add a living room or bedroom space- it's like renting a kitchen!
El color azul celeste es bonito. Este está bien si aprendes a dormir como los murciélagos, colgado en el hueco de al lado de la puerta de entrada😅
Oi! 😮Ok... Let's look at the positives! The toilet area is nicely tucked away.. And it has a window! The entrance area space is perfect for a mini fridge and shoe storage above. Maybe a small desk and chair that can double as a lounge chair can be at the window by the kitchen... And I think that fd ld up futton bed from one of the previous episodes might work here! Use the washing machine area and storage and there you go! Make the best of it!! 😅But wow! Usi.. I am looking for another micro apartment
.. Maybe with a balcony? 😊
The only piece of permanent furniture to add is a fridge. Everything else would have to be folded up after use. That area near the door would be awesome for wardrobe, but finding furniture to fit would be the issue. There should be wire rack adjustable storage built in. This would be a lot of work just to live in with all the transformation needed.
This apartment is definitely not for us mere earthlings, may be for some out of space octopus man. Though cheaper than other appartments, it is weirder than others. Most ridiculous design. Love the beautiful flowers and nice soup❤❤❤
I had to laugh. 🤣 It's not a closet. It is a separat room for the washing machine! 😅 Strange floor plan. 🤨
🤔 j aime les appartements carrés et celui-ci ressemble a un triangle de pizzas 🍕 😂
Pikachu is so cute❤❤❤
Oh dear, this looked so promising from the picture but it’s another crazy shaped apartment… I liked the blue wall 🩵 like the Toy Story apartment 😄 the rent was cheap and it had some good features, but not enough to make up for the bad points 😅 Thank you for sharing your journey there🪴🌼 and your tasty lunch😋
This one is a slight improvement on the previous one! The shape is very peculiar, perhaps built on a corner plot? Hmm, any good points?
1. Space for a shoe rack and maybe a potted plant, umbrella/coat stand near the door.
2. The blue on the wall is nice and airy.
3. The main window can let in a lot of natural light, a plus is this apartment is on the ground floor.
4. No toilet paper storage! From having another look at the lavatory room, perhaps you can install some shelving overhead. At least this toilet has room for a tall person, with leg room and a window!
5. Perhaps, with some creative planning, this apartment is a maybe? I am not sure!
The piano music is lovely.
nothing about this one is better than your current apartment.
ruclips.net/video/-D8pUnzUWXc/видео.html space saving without having to climb a latter
You could hang up pressure bar in the space by the entrance, and hang up jackets and clothes there. And then put a small shoe rack at the bottom. But the rest of the space is unusable. It's pretty and doesn't feel cramped, but there's no way to put a bed and anything else at all
Yesterday it was the toilet in living space, today- no living space! 😳
Maybe that especially awkward empty space to the right of the toilet is where you're meant to sleep....Vertically ↕️🙈😆
Seriously though it's too small to live in, it would get claustrophobic very fast 😒 I don't know how the developers/builders have the nerve to call them "apartments", even micro ones 😖
A wee bit too micro for my liking. IF I had to make it work, I'd remove the doors from the laundry closet, putt them inside the closet beside the (front loading) washing machine, and set a small refrigerator on top of the washing machine, and on top of that a rack for toilet paper storage, and if the toilet walls are magnetic, a magnetic hook to put at least one roll of backup toilet paper.=-)
Goodness gracious! I am here for the noodles and Pikachu! This apartment is really more for a glorified closet! Thank you so much for posting!!!
😫😫😫THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! There’s no way this apartment can be furnished for living! NEXT!!!
😯
I like the floor...
So sad that the person deciding the layout didn't remember that people need to sleep!
If the toilet, shower and place for washer had been in the right corner, including the spare room for shoes, then the kitchenette could have been at the small window, giving more room for a bed at the far left corner.
Usui-san, you are training all of your fans in how micro-apartments should--and should not--be designed. We would be happy to work with architects so that future apartments will be much better than this one! (What's with all those odd angles?)
Nice wall color. That's probably the only redeeming quality of the apartment =)
A triangular apartment it's a puzzle for the furniture!
Awful space in this one, it's an off shape, but doesn't seem to really be very well set up for living in at all. Your current place is much nicer.
No. There must be a hidden mezzanine - perhaps a secret lever somewhere? Like, it looks like a tiny cupboard for a tiny washing machine but its actually the entrance to the actual apartment where there is a desk and a bed! Maybe even a wardrobe!
Maybe this one isn't very functional, but somehow i like it. Biggest problem is the missing space for a bed............................
Honestly I'd like this one if there was bed space. Id put a mini refrigerator on top of the washer in the closet.
I'm sorry that you haven't found a place that has what you need yet, but it's been quite entertaining to see the extent of how badly some of these building owners set-up small living spaces. A few show that they at least tried to make it livable, but most are just comically bad. Good luck!
Usui San, the apartment is almost the same size as your current one, but it’s dark! 😢 I understand why the landlord has kept the wall blue to brighten it up. Without it the place would look gloomier. The only place bright in the flat is the toilet 🚽☀️😅
Мне нравится Усуи, но мне не нравится квартира площадью 9 квадратов. У меня туалет больше. Все равно интересно смотреть. Часто Усуи радует нас либо гастрономическими впечатлениями, либо историей, либо красивыми местами. ❤
Poor Pikachu, he could have stayed at home and taken it easy.
Lo único que me gustó es que al parecer éste depa está en la planta baja 🤣
Pikachu is so mad that someone could design a 9.5m space to be so completely useless. I am not sure that I would live here even if the rent was free.
It's about $16.00 more than your current rent and it omits the space for sleeping. No TP storage shelf. It's a big NO-NO. I've named this flat the Bermuda Triangle as the space for a bed vanished. 🤪😂
Omg 😱 the only good thing about this is the noodle meal and the pot plants … I couldn’t even watch the whole video as that place is ridiculous ! 🤣🇬🇧🙈
Pikachu : i don't like blue 😑 I love yellow
Me : excuse me, how and where will sleep in that apartment 😅 ?
That's place is small for me honestly 😂😅
The space is no doubt smallest but there is one thing is positive, there is actually a decent toliet room, not openly next to kitchen😅.. Triangle layout is always harder to organise furniture but always curious about what can be done. Perhaps I would change the washing machine space to become a storage / closet or a a thinner fridge and actually install a mini washing machine below kitchen bench tap. Tatami and low table below windows as suggested is best here. Entertainment, may be a nice small tv mounted on the wall below air con, but people uses computer / laptop for entertainment these days.
I don't think much at all about that apartment. It appears they cut up an older building to get more space to create cubby holes for people to live in. Whatever you do, don't move.
This is crazy with all the corners. 😮🤪
My 2 car garage is bigger than this space lol. Keep giving us this great content. It shows me how truly blessed I am to live where I live Thanks Usui.
I didn’t think they could get any worse, I was wrong
Смотрю иногда ваши обзоры и думаю что хуже варианта уже не найти...но нет же, Вы их где то откапываете😅
Comparing with the purple wall in chapter 22, this blue one is very pretty
Buonasera Usui che strano appartamento 😮😮no no no non ci siamo....il canale sta crescendo sono contenta....mi sono iscritta forse a 1000 utenti non ricordo 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉italia milano ore 21.52
It looks like the only thing you could fit in there is a recliner, which, by the way, is also your bed, work station, and dinner table.
I have never in my life seen such an impractical arrangement of space.
Whoever designed this apartment should be ashamed of themselves.
If I *had* to make this work I would build/assemble a wardrobe/open closet into the space you were thinking of puting a large shoe rack. Possibly negotiate with the landlord for a discount on the month's rent for improving the apartment by adding a closet space. Probably add a tension rack or shelving unit on of the top the washer to store detergent... and toilet paper!
the blue color is very nice. The room is sunny, and in the summer it’s cooler to sleep on the floor 😊There's just no need for a closet or shelves😅
