      @@Boba1702 anything below 500sqft where I'm from is considered small. even a studio here is at least 700-800sqft to be considered a good size. Considering the size of that kitchen, zero extra space in that bedroom, barely a living room (where's the tv go?, no room for an extra chair) this is still on the small size. Not to mention barely any natural light in living area. And a small bathroom

    @NEVER TOO SMALL
    Could you, please, make an extra episode about small apartments and noise (e. g. how to improve sound absorption, which space-saving measurements help to add some soundproofing)?
    I also would like to know how people cope with living in crowded locations when there are whole families sharing the same ground-plan size above or beneath and there is no extra space/room to avoid the noise of your neighbors.
    I see so many quite minimalist examples on here but the echo and sound absorption must be insanely bad in some of them.

      That is something they rarely discuss on here! These homes are always beautiful, but if you're stuck inside because of work or quarantine, the noise can be extremely stress inducing. Even if you have the technical privacy of your own space, noise can cause a feeling of intrusion and lack of privacy regardless.

    A lot if people in the comment seems to forget the space is designed to fit the owners, not you. Maybe the shelving unit looks bulky, but if the owner prefers a fold-out bed over a sofa bed, that's their input to make. The choice of elements kept in the rooms must have agreed with the client's lifestyle too.

      What's the point of a sofa facing a shelf though? They can't put artwork there either because it doubles as a bed and the shelves are used for storage- there's nothing to look at, just wood. The sofa ends up becoming a bit useless because it's so isolated
