Architect Redesigns Tech YouTuber's NYC Apartment

[@BirdBoy9425]

9 months later and still waiting for the presentation

[@Tenelia]

in typical design fashion... there''s probably been 45267846198 revisions to the draft now :"D

[@jomakaze]

I need to grow up... Dami will help me.

[@calicoesblue4703]

Lol, What Sup Joma. I can’t wait to see your new set-up.

[@Ladida386]

Yp, you definitely need a woman's hand. ☺️

[@DamiLeeArch]

Joma 2.0 here we go 🤠

[@MrGoalie2012]

i just subbed, thank Dami for that XD

[@handeif]

😅😅

[@Thandulfan]

The colab we didn't even knew we needed so much 😍

[@Eazy106]

Word

[@Kfkgjdkdkgk]

Exactly 💯

[@emwhaibee]

Not actually a "collab" in the content creator sense but more on the client x contractor sense??

[@dracomessup]

I clicked on the video instantly with a very big smile because I knew its going to be interesting with Joma & Dami.

Facts

[@MC-zi3qb]

As an urban planning student, I really appreciate your work and how it makes architectural concepts understandable in a way that (stale) uni profs can't. Very entertaining and informative watch!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thanks 😊 Great to hear!!

[@someguy7819]

Do you prefer Mediterranean style cities like Jerusalem or European cities like Prague and Amsterdam

[@FSVR54]

Mediterranean like Palermo, Malaga and Athens

[@uhpenyen4291]

Urban planning students unite!

[@romaisatariq4799]

I am Studying Urban engineering too. Not my dream subject, but it felt nice seeing people of same field. Could you please tell me the university and year you're studying?

[@REYMARTZHD]

No update video? It's been 7 months!

[@dayenavoih]

I have been waiting for almost a year for its update 😢

[@Well_Earned_Siesta]

1:39 you hit the nail on the head in describing the anxiety around creativity. When I used to work in a creative space (creating and producing music), I always felt like creativity derived from some mysterious source from the Universe. Since I didn’t (and still don’t) understand how I or anyone tapped in to that source, I always worried that one day I would just be inexplicably severed from it. It all seemed so random or up to happenstance.

[@richardsprow3418]

Excellent example of design process: no math, just easy sketching and you hit the most important point: listening, getting inside someone else’s needs and priorities and not just selling some existing design theory. This is exactly how architects work, whether it’s a one room apartment or a concert hall or a hospital. Listen, make a design program of needs, then sketch options. Definitely do more like this.

[@PrimevilKneivel]

My home office was always a storage room with a desk. Now it's finally been completely emptied and I get to design it that way I want. I liked seeing how you approach this.

[@woogiewoogie0012]

Brilliant visualization of your process! I enjoy the small but meaningful improvements made - things like line of sight and just the small optimizations such as removing the cork board from behind the computer screens and maximizing usable space for storage rather than a functionality that may be otherwise unused. Beautiful video.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you 😊

[@brokeloser]

As a software engineer myself, although it appears like we only work in logic. Great software engineers are creative and need creative problem solving skills. Not too surprised Joma got into a creative field after being a software engineer

[@robinlinh]

as a softare engineer and digital artist as hobby, I can confirm SE are quite creative and artist benefit a lot from logic and planning. I don't think there is a profession that people should say "this doesn't require creativity" or "this doesn't need logic"

[@ikarosouza]

Yup, I don't how it is in the US but here in Brazil it's very common for developers also being musicians

[@brokeloser]

@@ikarosouza I've worked with many Brazilian engineers in the US, all are very talented and creative!

[@brokeloser]

@Furz same as architecture then. can be as creative as you want, but if it doesn't obey laws of nature and reality, it wont run/work

[@TheWefikus]

Lol keep telling yourself that

[@VocalFox]

This was really cool. I wish there was an update! I’m dying to see how everything turned out.

[@Penguinishy]

Really surprised there has not been an update at all 4mo later

[@innervoice7028]

1 month later, and im still waiting for Part 2://

[@AzNightmare]

*I wonder what happened to Part 2...*

[@slim5816]

@@AzNightmare guess joma didnt like it lmao

@@slim5816 *haha, that's what I'm thinking too. Oh well, happens. Collabs are still a business and sometimes they don't go as smoothly if something falls through.*

[@slim5816]

@@AzNightmare exactly lol. Funny nonetheless

[@ItsPillfish]

5 months later I discover this video and can't find part 2.

[@therontshole6753]

I love watching your design process. Please make more videos like this one!

[@ryangallardosoledad2189]

where is part 2?

[@Friek555]

I like how the design also allows for a little bit of laziness. We aren't all super tidy people all the time, and an apartment should cut you some slack in that department

[@AmbreRotenberg]

Hi Dami, I'm also an architect and i just love your content :) I have considered many times quitting the architecture field but seeing your content makes me remember how amazing our job is. I wish I had discovered you when I was an architecture student, that would have been a game changer !!! Sending love from France

[@monaflh]

As an MA Interior Design student, I loved watching this after a long day at uni and see the practicality in your design process. The sketching procedure was also very beautiful! Love your work!

[@IntentionalRoomies]

where can we see the final result!?

[@VeeAmericanEagle]

There is none….😢

[@metasystem8625]

This is surreal. Two channels, both of which I started watching only a month ago, around the same time, doing a collab out of the blue. It's great.

[@6alaile]

Started at mashup shows and cartoons and movies now we here. I love that I'm here for it

[@Megadeth6633]

It's called the algorythm and it does magic

[@josehermanm5295]

The best crossover ever! Fixing Joma´s mess deserves a Pritzker ... or two.

[@DamiLeeArch]

😂😂😂

[@evtyler]

As someone that just started using Morpholio Trace this was absolutely fascinating to watch! I love the combination of creativity and technology in these videos.

[@layckaw4711]

6:25 the way you turned your head, it made my day.

[@dyfuzor987]

maybe convenient but it breaks a basic rule - never position your desk so that the window is behind your back. You can't see anything on the monitor. This rule is even in several regulations in europe about healthy and comfortable office work.

[@Richardhuang70]

As someone who initially dreamed and wanted to become an architect, who then ended up working in finance as a full time spreadsheet-er (asian parents influence), discovering your channel Dami is such a breath of fresh air. I spend my days basically playing architect in the spreadsheet models I build, but your videos give such an awesome insight into what I could've been doing, and they're extremely calming and interesting to watch. From your aesthetic video production to hearing your entire thought process. So glad I stumbled across these videos! Please keep making them!!

[@bernard-ng]

OH MY GOSH, It's so nice to see joma here, for developers who are interested in architecture it's just cool

[@n1kava]

Realmente tenés un canal maravilloso. Nunca tuve contacto con la arquitectura y el diseño de interiores pero desde que empecé a ver tus vídeos cada día me interesa más. Disfruto mucho viendo las cosas que haces y se nota la pasión que hay detrás de todo. Hace un par de días estaba viendo una película y me sonreí porque me encontré analizando el diseño de un lugar y, basado en eso, imaginé un espacio minimalista futurista de lujo con esculturas de la antigua Grecia, realmente una locura. Sacas el lado creativo de las personas y las motivás, tu trabajo en esta plataforma tiene un impacto directo en aquellos y aquellas que te siguen. De nuevo muchas gracias por tu esfuerzo, te deseo lo mejor.

[@ELLIOTCHOY]

haha this is super interesting joma needs to reconfigure for sure

[@DamiLeeArch]

Hi Elliot I can redesign your space too 😉 But your place is actually very neat.

[@BignutsMcGaw]

@@DamiLeeArch Hi, Why no second part to this video?

[@melissalam1173]

This video is incredible. It gave me everything that I've been missing from the current interior design videos/content that is out there. Thank you for sharing your talent!

[@kdub-1200]

Wow, I have so many ideas for my apartment now. Thanks!

[@aatheus]

Very neat, and it's given me some ideas for my own space. Did part 2 get posted?

[@mastaw]

Can't find it

[@MrTalhakhan01]

What a duo... my favourite guys

[@prodrectifies]

Those were very good design templates, im a computer science student myself but i like architecture also and have been tuning into the channel for a while :D

[@star_memory]

As a new architectural student, it's supper cool to see the whole design progress! So looking forward to your next video ♡♡ P/s: Trace seems like a really cool tool, too bad it's only on Ipad OS right now though :(

[@Foooo1]

where's the next video??

[@givinnatanlie4619]

Hi Dami! I work as an architect myself, and I learn a lot from watching your design process.. I absolutely love how you use the rapid fire questions to get a feel for his preferences!

[@Hard_7_Iron]

I agree with everyone else... it is a lot of fun watching your design process! Very well done Dami. I look forward to the next chapter of this one!

[@ourjamie]

I feel I have to say this is by and far the most informative I have seen describing the thought that goes into architecture. After leaving uni with a BSc in Archaeological Science, I switched to Architectural Technology for 18 months before switching career (again) to network engineering and software R&D. Working with architects of your calibre gave me a great foundation for deconstructing complex systems and environments and then documenting and diagramming the transition from one to another. Rearly have I worked on greenfield so this really shows the process of elicitation and design prior to developing a living space or software 👍🏽

[@jonathannothing1213]

im still waiting for part 2 :/

[@blanctv921]

Where is part 2 or the reveal?

[@Onyxaxe]

Dami, "It's ridiculous to have two desks in this small space". Me, sipping my morning coffee at two desks, "Wow, I did not expect to be called out this early in the morning, RUDE" lol.

[@DamiLeeArch]

😂😂😂😂

[@sebastianflores9836]

Can't wait for part 2! I am moving to a small apartment in the next few weeks, and I will take your idea about having two lounge chairs facing each other rather than a couch. Thank you!

[@leetcoding1]

So... 3 months passed. Is there any update?

[@BrianBernardEngineering]

Video said "stay tuned", but was there ever a "next video"? The video on the end screen isn't a Part 2.

[@glansingColt]

This Collab, the narration, the content overall is Lit. i would watch this all day, if it were a TV show. am actually sad it ended. Big up to the Vid editor too.

[@biblibop]

Love this one! Would really enjoy seeing more like these because I am always looking for ways to make my space more livable! A series please!!!

[@atmorris19]

Did you ever do the follow up video on the space?

[@melc2512]

Please follow-up with an "After". Been waiting for it ever since.

[@lezli3]

been waiting for a while now, hoping for a part 2 reveal

[@skeletonboxers7336]

throwin in another comment for the engagement. i know you've been settling into the new office and all so i cant wait to see the follow up to this! or when Joma uploads their part. i saw that joma's been in a creative rut so i hope to see their final part completed! anyways, best to both of you as creators on your youtube journeys. i got my mom really into your channel, and my cousin is an architect and has been encouraging me to apprentice in sydney, au for architecture since software dev in the states has been taking such a hit. youre an inspiration for me to reconsider visiting my love for architecture again!

[@shaunlao149]

Was there ever an update posted?

[@mayechael]

Yooooo, what ever happened to this? I was waiting for the follow-up that never came. Every time I see your videos/channel pop up, I come to specifically look for the resolve. And it's never there.

[@Mortagus]

I didn't know you were also an interior designer. I love to see the process in action, it's so satisfying ^^

[@Kaleff_R._Atillis_King]

Might have to watch this again ☮️

[@elsaqueen8872]

wow amazing transformation !!! Can't wait to see the final result! love your content and like to see more of this transformation in up next video!

[@pnorwes]

My personal experience is the whole romanticized chaotic artist thing is b/s. An organized surrounding will inspire action, more efficiently, and ultimately give your project better odds of success. Also adapting/understanding chaos, and not trying too hard to control the process and flow

[@Towkeeyoh]

Gosh I love that you’ve moved into the before after space on KZbin, it know there’s probably tonnes of it on KZbin, but man am I excited to see more from you Dami!

[@DamiLeeArch]

They’re pretty fun to do 😄

[@Towkeeyoh]

@@DamiLeeArch awesome to hear!

[@Gaspar314]

As an engineer myself, who clash quite a lot with Architects in my job, this gives me a better appreciation of what they do.

[@CrossingWolfi]

Love it! I noticed that all publicly active architects seem to a really aesthetic life style. Is your personal apartment a dream apartment for you or are there things you would really like to change but can't?

[@DamiLeeArch]

I'm constantly wanting to change things in my apartment 😆 Chronic dissatisfaction is the name of the game

[@donjuanluiz]

I looove that I can see this process of designing from a professional architect. I'm an architecture student and has a hard time coming up with designs, and seeing you do this process helps me a little bit on how to do mine. Great vid by the way.

[@drane10]

I just found Dami's channel today and my first notification was this collab video with Joma, I really wanna see how this turns out

[@AuthenticWe]

To be able to sit with both of would be fun, I'm the youngest in a large military family, to show how to make things organized and very easily accessible is key, and I'm the creative person in the whole family, so it leaves me to be able to tuck away ALL my endeavors until the time of year rolls around for em. Customize customize customize

[@4-0-K]

great video! as a fellow architect I appreciate observing and listening to different thought processes on how to approach a space and I think we as professionals should really put the work into really understanding our clients and their needs, which I feel like is often overlooked by many peers also your production quality is insane, kudos!

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you!!! 😁

[@fistwood]

The armchairs instead of a couch is actually the game changer here! Nice ide with that!! It opens up so much space and flexibility to the room. Kudos!!

[@william6171]

Yeah yeah, awesome video and all, but is nobody going to talk about the absolute flex at 5:29?

[@krixable]

Nice one! Where can I find the following video?

[@BennyKeshet]

I can hardly wait to see the clients reaction. Realy interesting to see the design process. I am Information manager and system analyst. It is fascinating to see the parallels in design process. I constantly try to educate my employees that design isn't so much about technology but about listening to poeple and there needs. Very often tech people choose to implement cool tech or ux\ui without understanding what their clients really need. I think I'll refer them to watch this as an example.

[@miketrandesign]

In order to create chaos, one must organize it. Great video btw!

[@carlog234]

Hey @damilee! Would love to get an update on the redesign of your friend's place once it's ready!

Patiently/Anxiously waiting for Part 2 hahaha

[@Doomeiner]

I have somethind to add! When around 13:00 you're talking about leaving corkwall behind his computer. I don't know if I'd recommend it. In the room I'm using right now, I have installed a blackboard above my desk where I do my homework (there's not even screens or anything), but the desk is so long (the distance between the wall and where it ends is big), so it's REALLY uncomfortable to get up and draw or type something in the blackboard. So my lesson has been to not do those things with big desks, only if you can comfortably reach the wall. If I wanted to fix it, I'd install something else, like some computer screens on the wall, a TV or other displays, or just some storage that I don't mind stretching or standing up for.
