ARCHITECT REDESIGNS - The World's Smallest Kitchen - 39sqft/3.6sqm

[@DanielTitchener]

What do you guys think of this concept!? I think the optional quartz countertop and mirrors shown would definintely push this over budget and I noticed that the 90mm smaller pinch point between the sink and the open door is less than ideal with the 600mm deep cabinets shown. I imagine that any improvement to an existing condition is welcomed by a local building authority, but in reality you would definitely want to consult an approved inspector to see if this is safe and acceptable and check if the door can be removed to create a bit more space. Making a bigger kitchen by stealing some space from the bedroom probably makes the most sense, but there was a lot to be discovered with this concept by seeing how much you can fit in the tiniest of spaces. Hope you all enjoyed it!

[@Forcefighter321]

It looks realy great, but (IMHO) due to the fact that I have a tiny kitchen too (only a kitchenette of 1.70 m), you get rid of too much cupboards to put things into. And in such a tiny kitchen, every space count. I would suggest to have under the little worktop some small drawers, maybe with mirrors as front or at the back the Kungsors wall grriller for pots and pans to hang. What do you think about it?

[@Si1234321]

@@Forcefighter321 agree - where does Alex even keep his wok? There are two useable cupboards at ground level, one under the sink and another which is cut away. That’s without even thinking about utensils (no cutlery draw), pans, food(!!), cleaning supplies (usually under sink). I can see this working for an Airbnb but not somewhere someone lives.

[@J.Hammond]

This is amazing. I might be buying an old apartment in Georgia (country, not the State) soon and would love to see your take on it if I do get it. You do great work, keep it up!

Wow Daniel! I can't believe that's my kitchen, it looks so different! Thank you so much for taking it on, I was worried it may be too small for even your magic, but you proved me wrong! Also, I'd thought about the mirror idea before, and my dad thought I was crazy, but you've shown it makes sense!

[@MaraMara89]

Hi, I live in small flat for 5 years now and had some experiance even if I don't cook that much.... so I would copy my previous comment directly to you (in case you think you may need more storage): I like the design, but I do think that it was great loss of storage. I would go either for shorter fridge and then go with high placed shelves on the whole back wall or try to go 15-20 cm further from back wall with that fridge and then go with whole back wall shallow (probably open) storage, maybe with some type of cargo-like solution behind fridge. Even if that would be mainly space for wine bottles, seasoning and cutting boards. Going with those shelves on the back wall shouldn't make it look much smaller, especially with those mirrors on the side.... easier way: only go with whole height cargo (15-20 cm width) behind the fridge even if that mean less space in/on that cut cupboard next to door

[@DanielTitchener]

I'm absolutely thrilled that you like the concept, Alex! I think we'd all love to see what you end up doing. :)

[@RockinRaven96]

@@DanielTitchener I'm going to try mock it up with some cardboard when I have a free weekend in a couple of weeks, so that I can feel if that amount of space is workable, particularly around the narrower section after doorway. I'll let you know

[@m0nm0n]

It looks great from what I can see, but I agree with MaraMara89 that you'll regret not putting in more storage. I totally agree about moving the fridge away from the back wall slightly so you can make use of it with shallow shelves. Or leave the fridge where it is & implement something mirrored on the back wall for that feeling of space & then have a floor to ceiling shallow pantry in the recessed section on the left. Storage is the one thing that people universally complain about the lack of it. Even with new builds people tend to complain about it after the fact rather than planning & implementing it into the build 🤷‍♀️

[@GRHood]

can i ask why you dont get rid off walls, like open concept kitchen? At USA very common- walls just simple wood, but i dont know at Europe of course

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

As someone who likes to cook, the mirrored wall was just wasted space. I've had a kitchen this size and additional shelving underneath the narrow top is great. Best storage spot for a wok is to hang on the wall. Same for skillets and pans.

[@amberklein1560]

▪️Design idea: Switch the oven and cooktop with the sink and dishwasher. By having the faucet closer to the fridge the faucet doesn't break up the counter space. Which would make the counter feel just a little longer, especially if the cook top can be purchased in a white or silver color. ▪️Also, having the oven away from the freezer means the oven will not be competing over temperature with the freezer when in use. ▪️Also, have to faucet come out of the wall instead of the counter. This will allow more counter space, especially when the sink is cover by the wood insert you mentioned. Great overall design. I'll be following for more videos.

[@wrylife57]

LOVE the faucet on the wall idea.

[@njhart6236]

All your ideas are great!

[@f.4588]

Great ideas. It is really important to have continuous counter space for practical reasons!

[@elvinabarclay6187]

I'd get rid of the kitchen door and straighten the counter and end cabinet (or swing the door out). The mirror is a great way to bounce light but if you aren't careful you double the amount of stuff the mirror reflects on the shelf i.e. 2 kettles, 2 toasters etc. And if you aren't a clean freak the mirror in a kitchen can get dirty fast especially one that might sit behind garbage/recycling bins. Overall I really like the thoughtful design.

[@rolypoly1689]

I’m only at the beginning of the video and already felt compelled to give comment. i think this is the first time I saw a channel give full measurement of a space. Bravo.

[@sarahtong9363]

Love this series! The clean minimalist design makes my heart sing. The only thing nigling about this one is the kitchen door. Take the damn thing off. With such a beautiful kitchen to look at, the door is now redundant and is taking up valuable space.

[@niema]

These videos are soo good mate. Wish there was a lot more. Keep up the good work!

[@kuanhau4323]

The usability of the space was enhanced so greatly. The hangers and magnetic strip really makes the commonly used items readily available.

[@astrowing4952]

Great design. As others have suggested, an oven/microwave combination can save a lot of space. I would also have used the recessed wall area to hang large pans like the Wok. These pans take up a lot of volume. Speaking of volume, it must be checked that the wok and another pan can be used at the same time with the hob. The mirror can go on the other wall which is not used. A little advice. I found it easier to wash large pans in circular sinks.

[@seanc5582]

If you get rid of the door, there will be more space for the counter. The wall behind the door can have mirrors and the recessed area can then have more shelving.

[@wendyelainedonald]

I love what you design. Years ago I bought and sold small studios in London. Always bought cheap and often did a refit on kitchen, never quite had nerve to tackle those stupid bathrooms with huge bath. Your ideas are based on practicality and budget. I put in a wall bed in my favourite studio, and I think it worked well. I sourced it from an architect stripping out a house locally.

[@Sasha-qf8eu]

Looks great! But the smaller sink is a huge no from me. I once had a sink of that size and they're a pain to use!

[@leDespicable]

I second this...we have a relatively standard-sized sink, and even that is a pain to use when washing up.

[@x-mess]

Kitchen designer here... lots of reasons y he made it smaller. He probably had reduce the size in order to keep the dw... or sometimes the water/waste lines can't be moved due to cost... it's crappy size but sometimes clients want more countertop space... but I agree with you, the sink is unusable.

[@leDespicable]

@@x-mess I get the appeal of making it smaller, but I think it'd be more practicable to have a bigger sink and buy a big cutting board that you can cover the sink with if you need the extra space.

[@x-mess]

@@leDespicable completely agree

[@elizabeths4371]

I agree! I originally had a smaller sink to maximize my limited counter space but washing up drove me mad especially when trying to clean big pots and pans. A relative with a very tiny kitchen, opted for a utility/ laundry sink ; deeper than wide, in which her big pots could easily fit. After seeing what she had done and how well it worked, I did the same in my kitchen, and have never looked back!

[@danielwest9188]

Brilliant. I’m looking at a flat with a small kitchen right now and this has really made me realise how good it could be. The counter top dishwasher under the sink is great, and every step really well thought through. Hugely helpful. Thanks.

[@dayannalorenzo4203]

I absolutely agree and love the 2 stove top idea , it is sooo true! We never use all 4 burners , the door definitely has to go , what about cabinets for utensils? Oh and no dishwasher, it’s not necessary, you already adding a dish rack on top.having a cabinet to hide trash bins is actually way more convenient and important for the floor space of this tiny kitchen .

[@loveartandscience6289]

The new space certainly looks less cluttered and more stylish than the old-fashioned and cramped old solution. I think you did an excellent job at utilising the extremely limited space, and I particularly like that you made intelligent use of the recessed wall on the left. Personally, I would check whether plumbing is available in the living room and whether a kitchen could be feasibly installed there, replacing the small kitchen devoid of any natural light with an open-plan kitchen forming the focus of the apartment. The old kitchen could then be used as a storage and utility unit.

[@cs2181]

That was my first thought too! But seeing the floorplan, is unlikely there's a plumbing in the living room

[@RockinRaven96]

Hi, I'm the Alex from the video! It is something I've considered, but the flat has concrete slab floor and ceiling and breezeblock walls, meaning no cavity to run plumbing through. All the plumbing comes in to the apartment at that service void in the corner behind the kitchen. I know some people in the building have done it though, and they've achieved it by having a half height wall run around the edge of the bedroom to conceal pipes and have the kitchen by the window in the lounge. It's something I've considered, but would cost a lot more as it would essentially mean redoing all 3 rooms, and the lounge and bedroom don't really need it

Good one. On holidays once in a caravan, the kitchen was sooo small but amazingly functional with everything in arms reach without taking a step anywhere. Thats a one person kitchen only. Quick to clean Up too.

[@b_uppy]

Keep the most of the narrow cabinets, butt the existing upper cabinets up to the ceiling and install an shelf beneath. Paint the wood trim to give a bolder look. This lowers costs, adds convenient storage while visually opening up the workspace. Add wallpaper to the wall opposite the door with strong diagonal lines to add excite,next and visually expand the space. Put a microwave/convection oven (or pair of them) on the opposite wall and add an enclosed pantry there as well for lots of convenient storage. The taller integrated fridge in the corner is a better use of space, as well as the 2 burner hob. The suspended dish rack is a must. Would remove the door as that adds fussiness and reduces flow. A mirror in the kitchen is a cleaning nightmare, steel is still reflective but less cleaning intensive. Alternatively could have put a tankless water heater to fit in the difficult corner space.

[@RahulJain-cd3cn]

Hello Daniel, Just in case, this kitchen is not built. Following would be my suggestions. A. Swap - Hob unit area with sink Reason 1, Internal plumbing would be much closer to the LHS wall, & this would allow more storage underneath for atleast 1 unit. Reason 2, Chimney will be able to sucks more air. Reason 3. It is advisable to have accessible space on both side of the induction/hob, both from utility & aesthetic purpose. B. Rather than chamfering RHS unit & counter, you can round fillet it, thus will not look sharp in the eyes + give slightly more storage, especially if undercounter units have 2 shutters. C. Rather than using mirror in the niche, you can use that on the wall, as otherwise, it would be opposite to no active area i.e fridge. D. Try to use glass shutter on overhead unit, wherever possible. E. Go for deeper sink, my recommendation would be wider as well. When not in use, you can always have strong board to cover this us from more counter space. F. Go for under wall unit, pelmet light, it will cost the same budget wise. G. You can also go for any light colour countertop like Nano white, with the same material on wall area, which we called dado in India. H. You can make a list of all the electrical points, before site work start, here in India, no. of points can range between 18-25. I. Provide basin with both hot & cold water connections, this will help him cleaning creasy/oily dishes more faster. J. You can opt for very sleek under counter unit with 2 shelf on preperation side counter. At times this space can be used to keep snacking, breakfast items, groceries, nuts & cookies packets etc. K. Give him option for flexible shelving inside cabinets, so that he can utilise, vertical space more efficiently. Feel free to connect on [phone]. I hope, atleast some of these points would be considered. I personally have designed house with very compact kitchen & understand, every inch counts. Best wishes. Ar. Rahul Jain

In our case, we ended up keeping only dishware in the kitchen and setting up an external pantry clapboard for all food.

My new apartment has a 13’x6’ kitchen. I was able to put a (Breville) microwave on the counter next to the full fridge. I found a small, 9” double decker dish drainer, (standard drainers are 18”). That leaves me 26” of clear countertop. I have a small covered waste bin in one corner, an area for my cat’s water bowl and food bowl (far enough away from each other), and a narrow anti-fatigue mat. I’m going to hang a magnetic knife strip, and some hooks for cookware on the wall opposite the countertop. Mind you, my previous kitchen is 15’x23’, galley style, with granite countertops, built-in microwave, a pantry, and a breakfast nook. But the apartment kitchen is so much easier to clean!

This kitchen is very modern and sleek designed, which sucks all the soul out of it (imo). Also a couple of things to consider: - having the oven next to the fridge is not smart energy wise - the sink seems too small to wash a pan or pot in it - ikea kitchens are not always cheaper than other kitchens

[@samprstn]

IKEA makes a microwave + oven combo (we have one and another dedicated oven) which would allow for more storage in the place of the microwave you chose!

[@MakeMeThinkAgain]

Huge improvement. I love the rack above the sink and would ditch the dishwasher for more storage. The other thing I would have done differently is getting rid of the door. With the new look, I don't think you need a door and that would give you even more usable space on that mirror wall.

[@Yiyuethepenguin]

Love the clean minimalist look! Some areas that I feel could make the design even better: - I agree the door should be removed! Or perhaps a bi-fold door with a smaller swing. You wouldn’t need a chamfered countertop and there’ll be space for a larger sink. - if there’s an option for a two door fridge, you can have a flip up table at the mirror wall for more prep space. The table can hide storage behind. You can still have the mirror on the upper half of the wall, or on the wall previously blocked by the door

I saw a few years ago on a video your idea of worktop and backslash being in the same finish to enlarge a small space. I like it. I do think that were I in this apartment I would change the kitchen door for a light, bi-fold one. It wouldbe easier to open and shut. The other rooms have doors so it's not crucial that the kitchen be closed off...Best regards. G Ire

love it, tasteful as usual.

For your oil, I just pour my oil in a oxo condiment squeeze bottle or any bottle that will fit in that drawer. You have to refill it but not very often.
