    This is wonderful to see someone who is not an architect speaking about the process and the costs. Love it and he's done a great job.

    Wow this version of the video is so much better than the typical format. Please release more videos like this.

    • @JB-eg1tb

      I agree. Its more genuine and real instead of what it looks like reading a memorized script.

    • @hintex487
      @hintex487 10 часов назад +14

      This version definitely offers a fresh and engaging take. More videos like this would be a great idea!

      @@JB-eg1tb Yeah, I don't really care for the teleprompter-assisted scripts. I prefer more natural commentary. However, not everyone is as comfortable talking to a camera as this dude. 🙂

      Nah, I find it distracting. Why am I reacting (good or bad) to the persons personality (could be the architect or inhabitants). I’d rather let their homes do the talking (they say ALOT) don’t need more jabbering on top of that. There are millions of videos like that if we want that.

    Chiming in to say this format feels very real! The place really feels “lived in”, not a sterile hotel room that was just cleaned and tidied.

    Do you know why we all love these two videos featuring this guy? Because he's just a cool dude. No matter which apartment he lived in or which one NTS showed us, we'd still love it. Good job NTS and great apartment bro.

    Amusing- Sean speaking Italian in the beginning and Italian subtitles showing up on my computer screen. I was thinking, "wait a minute- I have my subtitles (CC) set to English!" I was just about ready to stop the video and check my settings but then he lapsed into English. Made me smile. I am hearing-impaired (and hearing aids don't fix everything) so I often rely on CCs/Subtitles (and context) to understand what I am hearing. Anyway, Sean gave me my first smile of the day (watching this in the early AM).

    Good renovation in an older solid building. Love the layout, the moveable seating units, funky book shelving. Lots of recycling materials - good work! Love all the storage, and the green colour.
    Using a projector on a white wall is a great idea. I’m from the 1950’s era where slides were projected on the glass beaded screen.

    Plyco are good, not too far away from this location too. The first video is one of my favourites, shows that it’s quite achievable for me at this moment. I appreciate the cost breakdown and the materials used mentioned in this video!

    • @hintex487
      @hintex487 10 часов назад +3

      Plyco is definitely a solid choice, and the location is convenient. The first video makes the project feel doable, especially with the clear cost breakdown and details about the materials used.

    I'm a lamp-person, also. I only use my overhead lights to enter a darkened room safely and then turn on the table or floor lamps. Even with a "yellow" (warm/soft) bulb(s) in an overhead fixture it still isn't as warm and welcoming (to me, personally) as the light cast by table or floor fixtures or even wall sconces. That's just me...

  • @hettispaghetti6061
    @hettispaghetti6061 27 минут назад

    Loved this video! I really enjoyed the relaxed format and hearing from someone who isn't an architect. It's really useful seeing someone breaking down costs and showing the processes they used with materials. And love that he rented his tools and used secondhand materials! Much more useful than people showing off apartments they haven't lived in.

    From the very beginning I was curious why this fellow had papers pinned up on his office wall. I decided he must be an author and was writing out his book by hand. How funny to discover it's Italian as I'm doing sort of the same thing with Spanish words on post-it notes stuck all over my house! ;)

    When do we stop pretending that 42 sqm for a single person is small? That's an average apartment in most big cities. You guys should rebrand this channel too NEVER TOO AVERAGE. Also how out of touch do you have to be to think 20000 dollars for your apartment renovation is a super tight budget?

    • @AlyssaMartinpage
      @AlyssaMartinpage 6 часов назад +2

      I literally went to IKEA today and they were quoting $15-20k just for a NTS sized kitchen (without professional installation). Having $20k for kitchen, bathroom, flooring, insulation, plumbing, electrical, robes and furniture IS super tight.
