- Among a collection of 8 heritage listed art deco apartments, Sophie Bowers of Strutt Studios, meticulously crafted a unique, compact home. By cleverly altering the layout Strutt Studios redesigned the space to maximize both function and comfort whilst retaining it’s heritage character. Removing a single wall and manipulating the floor plate allowed Strutt Studios to triple the kitchen storage, and add a laundry and full size bathtub, amenities not found in the rest of the block.

Her voice is the one inside my head when I'm reading an essay
Lmao dido
That's so accurate
Wow, indeed!
🤣😁
You hear an aussie Meredith Grey? :p
All of these "small" apartments have very high ceilings and huge windows, no wonder they look bigger and spacier than the square meters suggest. On the other hand, you could have a 100sqm apartment with 2,4m ceilings and little natural light and it will feel small, claustrophobic and depressing. The high ceilings and big windows are the main criteria for selecting a flat!
I think it’s how they film it to make it look more spacious. As this was built in 1926, the ceilings are also higher than the average now.
Meanwhile my parents house in rural europe be like, 110 square meters and 2 meters high ceiling lol
Main criteria for people who prefer high ceilings? For me 2.5 m ceilings are perfectly fine, I like cosy spaces and feel uncomfortable in rooms with high ceilings.
❤
I would like this woman to follow me around every day, narrating my life choices.
It's amazing how this house looks minimalist even with all the contemporary classic deco while still retaining the same warm feeling of a home. This is one of my top fav so far ☺️
There's zero feeling of a home

What is the name of the place?
I like nts videos that feature apartments where the owners actually live in the apartment. Airbnb apartments have a completely different vibe to them than apartments that have been lived in. They have a different function as well since you only stay at an Airbnb for a couple days.
They are so lucky to have so many windows in such a small apartment.. i think I counted 9/makes all the difference!
To be honest, for 2 people and 2 dogs, its pretty spacious, would be more interesting to see how space is used when they got 2 more kids. Nevertheless, the color usage in the apartment is VERY VERY Awesome.
Not when, but if! Consider it
This is great for childfree people like me and my partner. We only have cats so this is perfect! ♥️
@@cosmic-st4rdust Yes, my situation as well in Brooklyn. 850 sf of wood floors and sunshine for me and 2 kitties. Bliss!
It just look bigger than it is because they remodeled the apartment
It’s great because their storage is utilized well as they have a sunroom. I have a similarly sized apt but nowhere near enough kitchen storage or sunroom and it makes it feel much more cramped.
The sunroom was a wonderful surprise. If Hubby has noisy friends over, she has somewhere to go other than the bedroom, and vice versa. The issue with most small apartments is that spouses often nowhere to retreat. There are many reasons to have a comfortable small room of one's own. Love this little accent room.
the kitchen storage + hidden cabinet doors are really cool!!
You mean sitting on your pots and pans is cool?
@@_w_w_ in my country 99% of the apartment kitchens use such storage, crawl out of your shell, I guess
@@evelinapushkash6827 that only happen when you have no space at all... And what country are you from?
Wilma Knickersfit let me know when you find a right swing microwave
It is, I wonder how I can achieve that exact same kitchen storage and hidden cabinets in my place. I don’t know where to start.
Is it a requirement for design school to have an A-Grade voice for relaxation?!
I swear all designers on this channel could have back up careers doing guided meditations their voices are so dreamy 😍
exactly my feeling. :D
I completely agree. It is the same case with every video I have seen on this channel. The voice is so calm and composed.
Well, as a design student, we are constantly presenting projects to teachers and other guests; after a while, many develop a 'voice' that we use while presenting to sound professional and like we know what we are talking about, even though sometimes it is complete bs.
I think the australian accent/way of speaking contributes to that as well
Victoria Posadas hahaha
This is straight out of a Wes Anderson film

@@kareaux complete with ASMR
THIS!
My exact thought😂
omg YES
😆
clean lines, brass fixtures, muted pink accents... I LOVE IT!
So nice to see the original 'bones' of the apartment kept the same. Also goes to show if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Looks like they painted over original wood though 😭
modern colour scheme and classic details who would not love this
me
Absolutely right
Me. I find it so cluttered.
It's a matter of taste, so many people may not love this. For instance, I find the hanging back rest for the dining area off-putting. Just not attractive or stylish to me. It is different but different isn't always better. Definitely can see the care that went into this and the changes that were made that improve the space - like the bathtub and the pull out pantry but a lot of families are not going to jump to own a pink home or want a guest room that leads to the master bedroom with glass doors. Do love that they have the sunroom off the bedroom. I would have changed the whole floor plan if money wasn't an object so the sunroom is off the living room and not the master bedroom. Put the master bedroom in the kitchen area and the kitchen in the living room and the living room in the master bedroom. Guess I just don't like it although I appreciate the quality.
🙋♀️
This video proves that good taste makes all the difference
When they were showing her interview portion I was just thinking, she doesn't seem.. human 0_0 reminded of the robot humans in the tv show: Humans
yes, me too! ... and that futuristic jumpsuit.
I fully agree and feel like she should be working in some villains laboratory lol
Watching too much movies lol
Yes, me too...she looks too cold
Yes...found her whole demeanour very robotic and odd
It is so amazing how this apartment can have a minimalist look and be chic and cosy together with these colors which are so soothing and also playful at the same time. Perfect combination of all.
Its excatly what i want to describe; minimalist n chic. Soothing and playful at the same time.
I do love the kitchen shelves, the dining set and even that tiny planter, what a simple lil detail but stunning
My favorite part about the apartment: the two doggies
they need to create ramps for their dogs or they will have spine problems in the future from all the jumping (coming from a former dachshund owner)
That sun room is a dream. I'd love to have something like that. Perfect little music studio hidden away.
"Carefully Considered" might be my favorite phrase I picked up from this channel
The bench and back rest are perfection. Everything is clean, calculated, and comfortable. No chaos. How Wonderful.
The bench... I feel always trapped. And no room for my legs - I like to put my legs on X on the back -. Although, the apartment is nice.
The kitchen table just magically appeared. Where was it hiding in the first place ?
@@marshayoung9387 : was always there ! Just 👀 the 🎥 again... slowly.
I have honestly not seen an apartment in this series where there weren't (even just minor) things I would change. There is absolutely nothing I would want to change about this one. To me, this is perfection in every single way and I would love to live in an apartment like this someday.
I’m in LOVE with the door openings that combine arches in them. Love it, love it, love it! The overall space is beautiful as well.
The apartment is so lovely, calm and chic. Fits her perfectly..
This is far from small, it’s an average sized apartment, bigger than many I’ve seen on a regular basis.
by Australian standards if it is, in Asia or Europe they are common.
@@hiberpechiro Inner city Melbourne/Sydney this would still be considered medium to large for a 1-bedroom.
Was thinking the same thing. This is the perfect size for a couple without kids.
@@ccccallum
except New York, in America this apartment will be considered small, so the title of this video is correct. I think in Australia is the same, in the big cities this apartment is considered the standard size.
Thanks for sharing
loved the place, the colors are great, when the time comes I'll paint them with these colors. I really like how bright the house is. Congrats to the designer.
Her dress and skin tone matched with the interior color scheme. Very pleasant to watch
storage is essential for the use of a space, it is incredible how color and light play an important role when we make a larger space
Gosh, the gorgeousness of brass + blush pink and grey tones is just ❤️
Love this one. I have the same philosophy when it comes to interior design: function and comfort. Cool fancy designs are only good to look at, but when you're actually living there it's a whole new story.
I would never hit dislike on Never Too Small’s videos even if I dont vibe with the video, they’re always different but never bad
Lo más hermoso que he visto de los 1.000.0000.0000 decoraciones . En un espacio pequeño logró un ambiente acogedor y simple, pero hermoso y elegante como un palacio ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This apartment is so aesthetically pleasing - there's something old and something new. Classic and chic and interesting all in one. The glass doors are amazing!
the distribution of the apartment makes the area look much larger than it is, and it looks nice and comfortable with very good lighting
This is one of my favorite small spaces ever! It seems very roomy and airy. The only thing that I dislike is the washer/dryer combo. But you do what you have to within a small space.
I love this so much. It has that comfy and cozy feeling of a home.
Absolutely love this home, love how the storage cabinet doors in the kit hen slide backwards into the cabinets. those walls are begging to be covered in art!
The colors, the simplicity really do make this place very welcoming. Kitchen doors are very smart. :)
“Adds to the fabric of our society.” Absolutely. Well done.
Extremely articulate. Elegant purposeful very decent. Awesome living apace
This apartment is not small at all, it’s gorgeous! My partner and I recently went apartment hunting and I would’ve highly considered purchasing this apartment. Only thing is the long layout, but I definitely love the design of it. My dream house is definitely a heritage house so I totally appreciate how you’ve respected the heritage of this apartment but modernised it. Great work! 💕
Lovely home, great use of the space. I had to chuckle when Sophie said they cut a hole in the wall to the living room to get the bath in place, all said without falter in her meditative tone or expression. :D
Her voice is so soothing.House is cool too.
Am I the only one who loves her speaking voice?!
MUUTO and HAY for the win! Very lovely interiors and great color choices. Love it.
exactly my thoughts!
This is literally my dream apartment (+ the dogs, of course).
Love it. She sound like that futuristic character in the science-fi film, she is an artist and a film script writer.
Wow I love everything about this design..Those hiding pantry cabinet is really really a great idea and something that is very doable and needed for a tiny apartment...I love how the guest bed is put near a beautiful open windows where the sun light is coming in and the bed can be converted into a big lounge sofa for the day time..genius idea...I definitely love those huge french windows and the colour of the whole apartment is just beautiful..It definitely give me a good sense of homey feeling...This is how I would like to design my future small apartment...
What’s not to like.. when everything is thoughtfully designed.
this is one of the most beautiful apartments i've ever seen
That sun room is so perfect for a reading nook! I really liked this apartment and the layout.
What a beautiful house. Love the colour scheme.
I am so glad this video keeps on popping on my recommendation. This is sooo beautiful!!
Me: My apartment isn't that small
Someone with 2x my apt: In my miniscule itty bitty teeny tiny closet of a home...
😂
She fits in so well that the house almost looks like her accessory. Nice
I always get a kick out of what they consider "small" like that's just... an average apartment
@@shamoonsaqib if you had a 10 sq m space with more than 2 people you wouldn't have enough money for a phone to comment that. Don't reply if it doesn't apply to you.
@@hakonericson9115 lol Smartphones are a necessity. Privacy? Proper beds? Not so much. I know families that share a room. :)
@@jignashangohil1524 dont play
@@shamoonsaqib i make minimum wage. As a current college student living in new york, i barley have enough money for food while having classes and rent to pay for. My apartment is 200 square ft, and i live alone.
This is apartment is beautifully executed. Blending the historical features with new modern interior is not easy and in a small space too wow great job.
I love the aesthetic of this apartment: a neutral palette, low furnishings and slim legs on furnishings keep the ambience so light and fresh. My favourite touch is the judicious use of brass throughout; lovely! The only items that I would add are ramps beside the bed and the sofa so that the wee pups don't have to jump up, and even more importantly, down for the health of their spines.
I get black mirror vibes from both the design and the woman lol.
it was the white jumpsuit and blunt bob for me
She talks like a robot
Scrying witch?
It's the voice and the jumper 😂
ooh, sounds twisted...what do you mean by black mirrors?
Many colors but with harmony, congratulations, amazing proposal.
THAT HIDDEN CABINET BLOW MY MIND!!
i love how a simple modren combination with classic detail. And color choices so pretty
This design is a work of art. The designer is a gifted creator.
Loving the cabinetry, so good!
Too gorgeous! I love how they pay attention to small details and love the colour palette!
Stunning. The colours are so beautiful and the layout very functional for the way I live. Just needs bookcases along the wall opposite the windows in the living room and I would move in this afternoon! Such a restful and happy aesthetic.
I got goose bump because the combination of color and material is so natural and amazing. I want to make my future apartment just like this.
Thank you once again. Got some ideas on how I need to go about my house - of similar size. Was thinking of connecting the living room with the kitchen in a similar fashion. Will go ahead now.
Thank you for the detailed stories of your consideration behind the interiors, Sophie! Learn a lot from this episode. I wish more video will include more like this.:)
Gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing. You did a great job with the kitchen, even though small it has a large feel and tons of storage and usable counter space.
I love the sun room as the second bedroom
It's a dreamy bedroom
Or could be an apartment itself
Damn i would be very happy if my first Apartment would Look like this. This thing is huge!
50sqm isn't that small, but nicely decorated. The layout doesn't change that much because they wanted to preserve the original as much as possible, understandable
bold choice of color
and keeping the original ceiling is the best idea, it's too beautiful.
the dogs tho
I think so too, 50sqm would be small for a family of 4 but not for a couple
I love that it has the original charm. It makes it feel more homy, but at the same time it is modern.
I love their commitment to maintaining original art deco features - love the ceiling. The apartment design and decor perfectly fuse old and new!
great apartment! i was hoping to see how she managed to fit the closet though, would be a great idea for my next apartment move.
Pink kitchen tiles 👌👌👌nd the idea of sun room is really nice nd cozy👍
What a beautiful apartment. Thank you for sharing.
why this gives me a 50s-60s vibe? i think the tiles and the colour palette reminds me of these generations , combined with contemporary objects.. They all really blend perfectly together .
The layout of this home was honestly so pretty! It had me thinking about more styles of interior decorating...
I'm apartment hunting right now, and it seems crazy to me that this apartment is 50 sqm. Whenever I visit an apartment of that size, I feel … cramped. Maybe it's just an illusion because it's empty? Because this video makes this size look absolutely adequate for a couple to live in. And I love that!
50 sqm is perfect for 2 people :) we have even two bedrooms in 62sqm ... 50 is more than enough for one bedroom :)
Hi there living in ca. 55sqm under the roof and it feels not cramped at all. Big livingroom 28sqm small bedroom and average kitchen and bathroom size. And a tube! I love it and wouldnt change it. One thing i will get done AC, the summers are getting worse here^^
I like the low profile vibe of this channel. Background music + Videos are so soothing and peaceful to listen/watch.
Simply beautiful! Both layout and interior design.
I got so much inspo from this video 😍 So glad RUclips recommended it to me! I love how you integrated modern aspects while preserving the building's heritage! It's really relevant for me as I live in a century home!
Thanks for the share. You've all done an amazing job! I was also kinda relieved when you smiled, at 05:44. I guess what I'm saying is, a home might perhaps not be a Doctoral thesis, but a place of slowly revealed joy. x
The appreciation of the subtle Art Deco elements makes this space feel like a work of harmony and restoration, of respect for the original form and decisions. Deco can tempt us into flamboyance but this is solid, livable, pleasureable.
But the dining banquette treatment made my back hurt to see. It didn't have the same smooth Deco flow. Lumbar support could have been constructed by echoing the top cushion with a little more projection from the wall. Maintain the desired visual airiness by choosing cushion treatment that 'melts' into the wall .
The fact that the kitchen doors slide back into the wall is phenomenal
This would be a huge apt in nyc 😂 and there’s laundry on site!
This is beautiful! But my tiny apartment in London is about the size of her living room! I’d love it if this series could get contributors from international architects too ❤️❤️
Love the light color painted floors and the kitchen seems to have an amazing amount of storage.
I love how there's actually a lot of color but it still feels cohesive and minimal
I really like her voice and her speech, so comforting to watch this video!
Beautiful. However, it always amazes me how these people do not own any books (except for 2 decorative coffee table editions)
5:23
I mean depends on the person. Like me, I grew up and still deal with a leaning disability so books were always a cause of stress and unenjoyment in my life growing up. There are very few books that I have enjoyed in my life time and for people who struggle with reading compression audio books are much better. So dont judge everyone for not having books. I do have plenty of artbooks though considering they are mainly made out of pictures rather than words
Interesting observation. Personally, I read a lot of books but I can’t process looking at stacks of books in a space because they distract my thoughts, it’s something I’ve reconciled by stashing books in storage boxes. It could be a thing for the owner seeing how deliberate she is with her design
maybe they use e-books :)
Ebooks and audiobooks are very popular now. My local library has an app where I can borrow audiobooks and ebooks now for free.
It is BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the pink tiles ♥
Is nobody going to talk about how calming her voice is?!??!
Beautiful home. People that buy lovely art deco appartments and then rip out all the original features should be shot. However, I think this strikes the right balance of old and new
Great looking place, and also pretty amazing that an android is living there with two dogs...
That is very rude
How so?
She’s a robot bro rude as
Love the design.....and how she decorates it....minimalist yet practical. 👍🏽
This was the video that got me addicted to Never Too Small
Beautiful!!! From Montreal,Canada. I live in 450 sq feet of beautiful space but I would love to see what you could do with my space.🙏👍❤️
In my country this is a normal/average size apartment :))
I love this design. These smaller homes always seem to make weird concessions for space, but you seem to have avoided all that. And the mix of modern and old character is really nice.
Take a shot every time she says "Brass".
Or ‘space’ 🙄
@@HR-di3fp this video is ripe for parody
" thus " we would be quite drunk
Right!
I cringed every time. I find brass to be tacky.
