      However I wouldn’t have done sliding shutters for the loft bedroom, but would have put double panel glass to isolate the sound from downstairs and still have the natural light.

      exactly! This guy clearly knows about art and design and history and thinks how to incorporate it very tastefully into everyday living spaces. Pretty sure I wouldn't suggest this for a family with small kids but otherwise it's perfection for a specific clientele who appreciates and pays for interior design such as this.

      Well, yes, the accent and prononciation is lost on some highly educated french people. They spend 8 years learning English and are unable to speak it. A Spaniard, Portugaise or Italian with the same education or age speaks fluent French. Ras-le bol. He must believe le ridicule ne tue point.

    actually living in Paris and trust me you need to be quite financially confortable to be able to afford this apartment. This is luxury in central Paris! Situated right in the Marais quarter. Large windows with natural light. Well-equipped kitchen. Biiiig bathroom. And to top it up, the interior design et decoration bring out the charm of the combination of vintage and modern design. It shows the unique goût of the owner. I would love to live in an apartment like this!

      Luxury, beautiful and probably not very affordable- well, might be true. Still not very functional and if the owner ever even adopts a an animal or finds a life partner it's going to feel cramped. What's the point then? Apartments and flats are supposed to serve one main purpose- provide a living space. Frankly I do not see much of it in here. It feels like art gallery, yes. But I cannot picture anyone living inside an art gallery.

    As a Maximalist who always faces the problem with having a hard time finding inspirations for my small flat to reach my warm, cosy but elegantly tasteful standard, this flat is everything I have ever dreamed of. The colour scheme, the design, the decorative objects- simply incredible. I love the clever use of the mirrors to make the room feel larger and spiral staircase that won't make the flat feel clustered whilst not compromising on its character and any decoration and functions.
    This is definitely my most favourite design on this channel!

    This is absolutely a home. Most of the apartments you’ve featured before look like they’re intended to be overpriced AirBnBs, but this is clearly someone’s full-time home. I love those big swinging windows so much it almost hurts and I love the spiral staircase even more, but most of all I love that this is an achievable, realistically affordable flip of a space that feels like I could actually own something like it in my lifetime.

    This building in the Marais is simply breathtaking. Gorgeous apartment. The architect has incorporated or highlighted lots of interesting design features - the parquet floors, the mirrored frameless screen in the living room and the spiral staircase. Love the highly ornate bathroom featuring only Italian materials. By Australian standards the kitchen looks a bit cramped but I understand in Paris this would be considered a good size kitchen.

    I loved the way this apartment was created. It feels incredibly modern but also truly traditional and very liveable. Not an easy combination to get right yet here it has been apparently managed seamlessly. So impressive.

    Well, as a parisian, I know this kind of duplex in the Marais is so much expensive. And it is not a small space at all. It is huge for a parisian flat. Huge and expensive. Does it really is accurate for this channel?

      The median surface area for Parisian apartment is 46sqm, meaning that more than half of Parisian live in apartment smaller than this one, and we're not even talking about the Marais. And he's single. For a single person the median surface area is certainly much smaller, maybe 30sqm or smaller, meaning that he would be in the top people with the most surface.
      When I lived in Paris my apartment was 18sqm, now THIS is small and it was very common for me to see apartment even smaller.

      @@76Eliam you said it yourself, for a Parisian appartement. The channel is global, so maybe try to open your mind and understand where there are coming from. If they had to take into account those specificities for each city/country, I'm afraid we would not have much to see on the channel.

      Well this is “small” for many visitors to this channel who may live in Australia, NZ, USA or even the UK but I agree with others than it many European capitals, including Athens where I am living, this is a “normal” size for many people. The point of this channel is more about design, architecture and styling of spaces which are small (but never TOO small) and showcase amazing examples of beautiful living in compact spaces. I love how this architect has really invested love and passion into this space and made it a reflection of his personality and his loves which I think is so important in a home. I also love how this channel shows how we should really embrace spaces, big and small, and let the space tell us how we should live … otherwise we just cram our crap and clutter into anywhere and wonder why spaces feel small and cramped.
