Within the tranquil mountains of Taipei's Wenshan District lies a light-filled space completely reimagined by interior designer Anny Hong of AODA Interior Design. Inspired by a minimalistic Japanese lifestyle and materials, light wood and rattan elements add a delicate touch to the navy blue accented apartment. A terrazzo kitchen island divides the kitchen from the living area while providing ample storage for appliances. A large moveable desk and an expandable coffee table can be easily adjusted to suit the homeowner's needs. A subtle wooden grill sliding door opens up into a walk-in wardrobe that cleverly acts as the base for the loft-style bedroom, accessed via a minimalist iron staircase. Sleek raw concrete flooring, curved walls, and raised ceilings create a sense of spaciousness within the apartment’s small footprint.

Hello everyone. I am ANNY. I am very grateful for receiving a lot of feedback and encouragement. I am also very thankful to everyone for giving input to me, who is not a native English speaker. I struggled then, but I hope to interpret this design case better and more naturally. , Thank you for the program's suggestion for letting me use my mother tongue to express myself.
In addition, I am grateful to the owner of this case. We spent a long time understanding and communicating, combining practicality and aesthetics as much as possible. Thank you all for your love for this case; there are many feedbacks. We all got it; Thank you!
You did an incredible job - this place looks beautiful and practical and very liveable.
Just wow 👌
@@centurion_ We are pleased to get your affirmation. In this case, we have carefully understood the user's habits and lifestyles and hope to have a comfortable use scale in the tiny house
@@2005siu Thank you!
Great sharing
I prefer this! Having the designer speak in their own language and just translating it. It's feels more genuine.
Where’s the translation 🤔
@@rgs6236captions!
Can't read and watch at the same time, though...
Nope don’t like reading watching like this don’t focus on pictures
yes yes and yes!!!
I really like this. It's very stylish, but not so stylish that it isn't practical, and the desk facing the TV is refreshingly normal.
When she said "the owner may want to watch TV while she works from home" it felt like someone was revealing a dark secret in my life 💀💀💀
Yeah I really liked that design too. I do wonder if the owner uses the TV as a separate monitor
@@rheagalsim7497I have an applet tv connect to the TV so actually I can airplay my online meeting to TV as a separate monitor.
Actually I have dual monitors on my standing desk but temporary remove them for the shooting - not to block the view from the living room to the stairs in the back.😅
That staircase design is very clever to allow so much light through and also look like structural art.
Yes, I agree. However that last part when coming down the steps looks like a it could be the source of accidents with clothes getting hooked as you pass by. I think the same effect could have been achieved without that part, maybe less metal sticking out.
@@conniebruckner8190people might hit on it by accident 😮
It also looks like additional storage/ display shelves.
@@OneNiftyBoiyepp that was what I was thinking!
exactly and I like that it's not a ladder
so much light! no strange bed situation! a normal bathroom! a lounge space with a tv! a WALK IN CLOSET! a functional kitchen! this space looks absolutely magical
This has been one of the few episodes where everything has been completely sensible and practical for everyday living. This apartment feels like a real home. Congratulations, designer Anny Hong. You've done a brilliant job. 👍
The lay-out is excellent! Incredible how spacious 33sqm can look.
I know! I was amazed this was 33sqm - it felt much bigger, like they didn't even have to make compromises.
These are not 33 mq. Impossible
I love everything about this apartment. So well designed light and airy. I could live there in a heartbeat.
The rattan accent increases the level of sofistication and simplicity, what a wonderful idea. ❤
I really like the rattan design too, but it does requires a lot of care and attention not to damage it.
Like the curved TV wall and the massiv Island the most.
*Sophistication
Please don't use words that you don't know how to spell.
@@jrambo7495 don't be an ass. Not everyone is a native English speaker. He probably speaks Spanish and sophistication in Spanish is spelled sofisticación, hence the mistake.
@@paxundpeace9970The look of that material is terrific! Wondering whether it's a natural material, a formed synthetic, or a foil laminate? On camera I really like it! 😎✌️
@@jrambo7495Don't preach. If English is not their native language, it's none of your business.
I love the staircase! The biggest problem for me about loft beds is that it's always a ladder or a super steep staircase. This looks like a normal set of stairs, and I absolutely love that. That layout is something I could easily live in, which just shows that good design is so vital to making the best use of space!
Very well planned out space. I’m so surprised more apartments don’t have Sleeping lofts or Murphy beds to maximise the usable area.
I hate Murphy beds but I think the reason why there aren't so many lofts is because you need a relatively high ceiling to make it work in a way that isn't uncomfortable.
@@wesleychen4408 we have a two bedroom house with a seperate guest space. We have Murphy beds in our main bedroom and the guest space. We put the bed up every day and turn it into her office. The guest space gives them the option to turn it into a lounge. Murphy beds are easy and we have never ever regretted it.
@@wesleychen4408 It depends on the user, I could not use this apartment with a loft for example, as the wardrobe underneath would need more space as I am 194 cm (about 6 foot 4 for americans). For small apartments in downtown Budapest (city I am familiar with) lofts are common, because in the older buildings (19th century and early 20th century) the ceiling height is around 3,5-4 meters. I can stand up on some of those lofts, they are great! : )
@@wesleychen4408there is an Italian company called CLEI that makes also horizontal Murphy beds for one or two persons. Very modern and timeless design. Not cheap (count at least 4000 euros) but considering the increasing real estate prices, it is a valuable option.
Sleeping lofts are often not possible due to limited ceiling heights.
Love the architecture and the designer. She’s so full of sunshine
Probably my favorite of all the ones I have watched. She made the space bigger than it actually was with so much practical storage.
I like the selection of materials in this apartment. In particular the rattan doors in the entrance foyer and the walk in robe. The fluted glass in the upper kitchen cabinet is quite unique. And the three metallic pendant lights in the kitchen are visually interesting.
Ooh this is really nice! Such an understated yet sophisticated space. I love the realistic amount of storage. It’s a tiny apartment but there’s no need to be a minimalist.
I've watched dozens of NTS videos, but this one is my favourite so far! The rattan details, wooden partition, kitchen island; everthting is beautiful and practical! And this is all achieved in a very small space - bonus points for allowing the designer to speak in her native tongue
Brilliant design. Beautifully stylish, great attention to materials and detail, yet very practical. And a desk in the command position! I also love the use of metal for the thin shelving and staircase, the latter is a masterpiece of design in its own right.
Heh, not often do you meet someone with a similar surname. Family meetings are every first monday of the month.
Lovely design. I would have appreciated seeing the outdoor balcony space as well. Outdoor areas make a huge difference to the liveability of a home.
i wish they had shown a little bit of the balcony space too!
Congratulations Anny, this is the best video that I have seen in this channel
So far, this is the best design I've seen in this channel.. It's very organized, not cramped up, it looks spacious and airy.. Also it's well lit because of those windows and balcony.. very neat and sleek.. well done!
First time in a long time that I quite like one of the apartment presented on this channel. They always feels impersonal, not practical, lacking decoration and books, but this one. It really feels like someone is living here and love it. I could definitely see myself in it, congratulations to the architect, she made an amazing job !
Yes! This apartment looks much more suitable for long-term living than most others on this channel. I like that it has a real, comfy-looking sofa.
This place feels larger than it is. The big upper storage cabinets are what I LIVE FOR!
The walls are so high in this space it makes sense to have all the vertical storage and have a comfortable amount of space for a loft bed. :)
What a well designed home! Love the floor and the staircase! Congrats!
The staircase is not just functional but is a piece of art too!
This apartment looks and feels amazing.
時尚又實用！喜歡藤條門和樓梯的設計，風格差距很大的材質在這個空間裡被和諧的融合起來，台灣的設計師讚！
I love all the individual touches (the stair rail, the bookcase, the lightweight divider-- everything, really), and they all come together so well. It's a practical space (anti-humidity measures, a large wardrobe), but it also just feels luxe, with touches like the deep blue sleeping area. Gorgeous space!
I've been watching NTS for a long time and this is one of my favourite designs that I've seen! Every aspect is brilliantly used 😍
That's brilliant! It feels so spatious and airy but cozy at the same time. And the architect even managed to close the private area. I really liked listening to her talking in her own language as well.
I just love the added cane and ratan sliding doors and dividers. They give warmth and texture to the space. So beautiful!
That staircase is truly beautiful and it succeeds at looking light, airy, let the light through AND feel safe. The veranda design manages to add interest while keeping all the lines vertical or horizontal creating this crisscross pattern that looks cleaner and grounds the space instead of leading your eye to the top of the stairs as diagonal typical verandas do. I can't praise it enough! I love it!!
The use of rattan to increase breathability is pretty cool!!
What she done with this shoe box 33sqm space is amazing. One of my favorites
I like the layout, the slatted slider and the rattan cabinet doors.
A very cool and relaxing design. I loved the effect of the stairs with the window in the background. Its design and materials are the most successful. Light and elegant.
Probably one of my favourites, I live in a similar size place, and this looks way bigger and spacious, with so much storage.
Lovely apartment! I would definitely place some hanging plants on that beautiful staircase 🌱
I absolutely love the design of the stairs! They are brilliantly designed, airy, beautiful and clever. Love the loft, love the navy blue, love the kitchen!
Absolutely love the cleaver design of the sliding divider❤❤❤ Everything in this apartment is so sleek yet so calming and comfortable looking.
设计有型又实际! 太棒了！
Thank you for letting the designers speak in their native language, it brings out some authentic emotions that are great to watch!
Finally a sleeping loft that does not look like the person needs to crawl into a burrow to sleep. This is a very practically designed space while also looking aesthetic. No unnecessary open shelving to waste space.
Love the complementary rattan with the dark walls though it didn’t feel dark at all. Also great layout with the walk up bedroom upstairs.
I love that you give the “captions available” option on this channel and there’s no expectation for the presenters to speak English - we shouldn’t expect the entire world to know only one language and be able to accurately translate what they mean.
I loved everything about this apartment. It looks larger then 33sqm. Great use of space. Well done 👏
My favorite! What a beautiful home! I loved the incorporation of natural materials like wood and rattan. Beautiful!
A functional kitchen AND a couch I wouldn't mind sitting on in 355 sq ft? I'm impressed.
Two areas that I really liked are the kitchen and bathroom. In my home both these rooms are small. You’ve given me ideas for me to use right away. We’re going to remodel our master bathroom and we may incorporate some of the design elements. And that staircase is so beautiful, that handrail is so sculptural , the designer may or not have been thinking about art when she designed it. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. I love how she made the bedroom area more private. Although I don’t particularly like loft sleeping areas, this one looks very sleek. Kudos to the designer!❤
i've followed your channel for a long time and this apartment design is really my most ultimate favorite
I honestly thought this house is on the larger side, like 40-50sqm. I was surprised that’s it’s only 33! The layout made it look bigger than it seems. I really love this one!
I love that desk !!! It’s huge and you actually have space to work and lay down everything you need without being restricted
Loved it. Only thing I would change perhaps would be the doors on walk-in robe to sliders. To make it less cramped when opening. Everything else is brilliant and so well considered and executed. Staircase is exceptional
Yes! sliding doors wouldn't make the owner have to move aside and around when opening/accessing and still practical with a rattan surface. Great apartment. I would've been a bit more visually consistent/unobtrusive/non-inexpensive looking with the the kitchen wall including range hood if the budget allowed (but that's just me). A very good and liveable space.
One of the very best use of space ever. So practical yet very stylish and modern.
This place seems so spacious for 33 sqm! I loved seeing the rattan-fronted closets since I am planning something very similar to hide the gas boiler and washing machine in my bathroom.
i can't get over how much bigger the space looks. really inspiring. each part it was so impressive, with my favorite part being designing the wardrobe to be the exact height of the owner (although hopefully with an allowance for chunky shoes!). a humorous, intimate, and useful detail.
I love this one. It feels so open and spacious. Love the loft and airy staircase as well as all the built-in storage. Windows and a good view are so important. It’s great that the apartment is filled with light.
I love it. Clean yet warm. On another note, Anny has such an elegant mandarin. Such a charming person.
This is for sure one of my favourites!
Fabulous! I love the flexible space, flexible furniture where necessary, space division where necessary, and also the 'dual aspect' storage unit. The rattan wardrobe doors, latted skiding door, minimal stairs are all brilliant. Optimal layout throughout. Many congrats. Wishing you every success, Anny! G Ire
What a wonderful place ! I love the design, the colour palette and the layout of the apartment. Definitely the kind of place I’m going for in a couple of years when I’m done with my house and garden.
Oh my, so beautiful. The colours, the stairs, the view. I enjoy this design very much. The kitchen is entirely in use, not for show. The rattan and the screen give it a natural look, while the stone look and the dark blue paint give it a classy look. Minimalistic but still very personal. My top one small space on here.
It looks larger than 33sqm, a very simple and functional design.
The staircase looks almost like it defies physics. So cool!
This is one of my favorites. Beautiful staircase from every angle. Dining solution is beautiful.
Only 33 sqm, but thanks to the practical and thoughtful design, the used area seems much larger. The apartment is characterized by a very tasteful interior and great solutions. I really really liked! :)
Please feature more of these apartments! This doesn't look impractical at all, it has color, and the designer maximized the given space very well!
just beautiful !
the BEST episode!
This has gotta be my favorite design so far and I'm so inspired. I love the sliding door. Such a beautiful yet practical space.
It's amazing. So much storage in such a small flat and great to invite friends over. Very smart!
Love this! Clever, elegant, and innovative.
This apartment is a dream, one of the bests I've seen here, it looks like a real home
really enjoyed this design SO MUCH. It felt so homey and yet clean and organized. Loved the complimentary ideas of storage/ space/ humanity. very sweet spot was found here.
This is an impressive use of a small space. I think this is one of my favourites. Well done!
Love this design. It is stylishly beautiful with all the practicality you actually need in any space!
love this home, it's a wonderful mix of simplicity, functionality and design that reflects the owner's needs while giving so much space and light. 2 huge thumbs up!
what a beautiful project! Lovely space, one of my favorites from Never Too Small.
This is beautiful!
loved this place, so comfortable and nice feeling but stylish too, and simple but functional. also loved watching it with the designer speaking in their native language, it's much more informative and also a whole different (v. nice) experience!
Shout out to the Taiwanese accent. 濃濃的親切感。
One of the best designs in never too small
Wow! Amazing design and execution!
i love the stairs, elegantly designed..
one of the best homes on the channel in a long time. actually functional and not some wierd artistic nonsense,
Wow this is wonderful ! The nicest one I have ever seen for a home of this size.👏👏
Beautiful. I love the placement of the desk. It's making me rethink my home office!
Great to see an episode from Taiwan! We definitely need this.
Great design and use of space
Amazing use of such a small apartment ❤ credit to the designers and architect for sharing this with us.
This is a great use of space and love the light and view.
Fantastic utilization of space in a small apartment! Love this!
Like the ideas of the desk, walk-in wardrobe and the stairs for light.
For me, this is perfection. *chefs kiss*
The staircase is a masterpiece, and everything else come close.
This is so beautiful! I'm in love with everything about this
Great job on the interior design. The rattan usage on the closet doors is so practical and beautiful. I'm a fan of the navy blue stairs and overall design.
the design is so stylish and look spacious 😍. Love the rattan closet door and the navy tone staircase
This is perfect. I could see myself living here. I love everything.
I love how you designed the stairs
so nice and practical! Everything has a very clear purpose, but also looks very nice. Well done!
Beautiful apartment, I especially like the navy blue color of the wall near the stairs and the view from the windows is exquisite. Taiwan is definitely one of the countries I wish to visit in the future.
So beautiful! And full of great ideas. Loved it.
