NEVER TOO SMALL Buenos Aires Multi-purpose Small Apartment - 42sqm/452sqft

[@darrenchin_]

very interesting to see a feature from a new city in a different continent like Buenos Aires. loving it!

[@adam.g]

Having the tree outside the balcony is just beautiful. Would love to wake up to that

[@gus473]

We had a place like that in Boston! Then the landlady had it cut down. ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯

[@grandvizir]

pretty much everywhere in buenos aires, trees are never cut/groomed unless they cause trouble, its beautiful indeed :D

[@JuaBlackurt]

That's very common in Buenos Aires indeed is one of the best parts of the city and considering that theres not that many parks and plazas (especially in some neighborhoods) so the trees help with air quality and heat in the summer too

[@Trish_Carmichael]

@@gus473 That's so sad :(

[@lucaslazzari6299]

so proud of seeing argentine designer in this channel! bravo!

[@lt7153]

I really like this one. I love how everything flows and none of the furniture except the pull-down bed is serving multiple functions or have to be transformed to be used. Makes it easier to live in.

[@wolfspirit9]

Wow, that balcony is to die for! Beautiful work, love how the natural light flows through the apartment

[@GriffenDoesIt]

I like that cage too: I've never seen something like that. Extra crime safety for the urban environment (no more worries about those big glass doors). And extra plant space! Yay!

[@lauralot1989]

I love it when these spaces have full-size fridges and furniture that doesn't have to be assembled.

[@Boba1702]

That's because 44 sqm is not small.

[@freakout3516]

I always hold my breath for the rare desk/work space.

[@Maki-00]

That modular furniture that you have to pull out and assemble would get old really quickly! I wouldn’t want to have to “work” just to get a table to sit at!

[@mssonoma1]

yea I like that they have that table behind the couch. I'm always concerned with cooking space in these places, but I could deal with this

[@mssonoma1]

@@Boba1702 anything below 500sqft where I'm from is considered small. even a studio here is at least 700-800sqft to be considered a good size. Considering the size of that kitchen, zero extra space in that bedroom, barely a living room (where's the tv go?, no room for an extra chair) this is still on the small size. Not to mention barely any natural light in living area. And a small bathroom

[@maria_casuscelli]

So happy to see an appartment from my city. The architecture feels much more familiar to me. I know replumbing here is expensive and noisy and it would take a lot of time, so I think they found a good solution. And there's a great ice cream shop right in front of the church.

[@quinosonic82]

pero sacaron el bidet... me parece que va de cabeza a AirBnB esto.

Loved the latticework around the balcony, allowing potted plants/ climbers/lights.

[@ellaeadig263]

I think any flaws with this apartment lie with the building design itself. The architects have done a great job with what they had to work with.

[@fiorella_c]

Argentina por fin! No te la puedo believe! Thanks for the feature never too small

[@Stephy2185]

This is one of my favourite re-designs!! Love how they kept the original elements that made sense in the apartment and the flow is just gorgeous

[@mistakemono]

I'm so happy to see an apartment in the country which I'm living! Thanks! Though every space's design is fascinating, I cannot truly understand how the cultural, economic, and law restrictions influenced the choice of the designer. But in this case, I have no problem at all (laughed when the architect said cheaper, so true)

[@mq837]

Im in love with the pink tiles omg!!!!

[@I_am_Lauren]

This is one of the more realistic and reasonable designs. I'm from the middle of the US and tiny spaces fascinate me because it's such a foreign style of living from where I'm at.

[@celinanacach5723]

I'm more than happy to see an apartment from my city Buenos Aires! It's beautifully designed and decorated! Congratulations!!

[@susanjohn6506]

Beautiful apartment. So much more light brought in by this design.

[@derekbritton4644]

Always love these different design solutions. My only critique (with out knowing the objective of the client) is that seems a shame to lose the extra storage for that tiny murphy bed. I feel like that's a permanent solution for a temporary inconvenience like house guest.

[@minimalist_romantic]

What a lovely nest! Must be lovely to enjoy morning coffee on the balcony ❤️

This was great for someone who doesn't cook a lot, I wish there's an episode for this where the focal point of design is the kitchen.

[@Luzonyoutube]

then maybe this is not the right channel for you. Very few people would give up living space in a small apartment to have a bigger kitchen

[@user-useria]

You'd better have a look at tiny houses, living big in a tiny house for example, many of them have generous amount of space dedicated to kitchen

[@kaksha17]

@@user-useria will check this for sure, thanks!

[@tinekejoldersma]

A very personal space for the sisters. Love the inner garden where the balcony looks out on.

[@vivianokon7256]

Beautifully simple and plenty of functionality. Spare bed is a nice idea but probably have been willing to swap out for a blow up mattress/ more storage space. Windows make brilliant use of the dappled light. Subtle touches like carved handles and reconfigured bathroom are the bonus points. Nice.

[@AnnMarieKing]

Though this is a complete remodel these collaborators managed to maintain the best architectural features and the nostalgic sprit of the space. Hope to see more LATAM spaces on the channel. 😊

Never Too Small. The dream home channel for singles around the world! Buenos Aires looks nice.

[@gnolan4281]

With a concrete floor I would likely be shopping for rugs or maybe even save up for flooring. I never would have thought of vertical tiles in the bathroom; what a good idea! Congratulations.

@@_A_T well they might not want kids, and im pretty sure a space like this is fine for a couple

[@_A_T]

@@helenaglufke4567 don't get me wrong.. I love living in smaller apartment too and getting myself a 450sqft studio (with 2 rooms). Just starting to worry if the space is too small when I get a kid in the future..

[@Lolidropz]

@@_A_T I know what you mean. I feel like there's also big personality differences here, worriers and planners like myself think about this issue a lot (since I also like small spaces but going to have family later if it's possible), but then I know a lot of people who go pretty effortlessly with the flow; changing from one apartment to another when their needs change.

[@jaggynettles8382]

[@ltdasilva93]

The sofa could have faced the door, mount a television on the wall to the left of the door, Oriented the sofa in the corner, and allowed for a bar-style kitchen seating area above that counter top.

[@kevinmcgrane4279]

So clever and tasteful.

[@konglee8393]

[@toddygallent7258]

[@arnie3631]

It’s a good thing the condo admin allowed for the windows to be enlarged and the main door to be repositioned

[@quinosonic82]

Gente, les quedó muy bueno! aunque sacar el bidet es imperdonable, y el empapelado ese no te lo robo ameo... (pero la cliente siempre tiene razón). No entendí por qué rectificaron la diagonal detrás de la cocina/lavandería. Ah, y por fin me doy el gusto de comentar en mi propia lengua en este canal, jaja. Ya era hora.

[@kiranm6749]

Small size are easier to dominate .. wow.. this guy just redefined small space 🚀

[@psychcommercial]

I have a 361 sq ft studio that I own. Gets the job done. I have an exercise bike, weights, washer, dryer, "movie theater" using an LED projector, and a california king size bed. French door separate the small bedroom from the kitchen.

[@juintt]

Love it! but imagine in the living room: no conference table. The storage unit is always open, but the mattress is tucked under (you can use now-shelf as a little table to place a cup of tea etc, otherwise keeping empty) and from the top shelf there is a floating tv that goes down (eye level of the person sitting on the couch, in front of the white board) but when a guest comes in, it can slide back up and the hidden mattresse gets placed as shown on the video. space looks more open and dedicated to use while keeping that extra function of a guest bed.

[@ninconnue5609]

Trying to figure out where any food storage would be. 🤔The tall cupboards in the kitchen were just laundry/mops/etc from what I could tell. Do the residents just always eat out?

The giant unit in the living area and the white door is not that good. But I loooove the bathroom ❤❤ and this balcony is so cozy and lovely!

[@jonathanleonard1152]

I am sorry to see that an inductive burner(s) was not used. We have one inductive burner and keep it in a cabinet when not in use. This gave us more countertop space. We have approximately 50 m. You did a good job anyway.

[@mauricioestrela2107]

Wonderful use of space. A bit stark though.

[@04beni04]

Serious question from someone looking at redesigning a small kitchen: what are they doing for ventilation? I don't see anything over the cooktop.

[@Daph909]

Why is the balcony caged in though? Is that normal in Buenos Aires?

[@kwhatten]

Ha ha, having never been to Argentina I was surprised to see all the iron bars and triple deadbolts on the door.

Beautiful apartment. The art on the floor and the bookshelf , and the blank board facing the sofa made it look like a "before" project. Not a fan of those aspects.

[@naomiraeien2365]

Why have an extra bed in the living room and not a TV?

[@Myria83]

What's with interior architects and plywood? It looks so cheap...

[@cieloki]

It would be better to relocate the living room and bedroom. It's ability to do a stylish and impressive renovation of a venue. But first of all, being able to correct a spatial wrong is the main measure of success in architecture.

Yeeeey, new video 🥳

[@YT-GuestAccount]

@NEVER TOO SMALL Could you, please, make an extra episode about small apartments and noise (e. g. how to improve sound absorption, which space-saving measurements help to add some soundproofing)? I also would like to know how people cope with living in crowded locations when there are whole families sharing the same ground-plan size above or beneath and there is no extra space/room to avoid the noise of your neighbors. I see so many quite minimalist examples on here but the echo and sound absorption must be insanely bad in some of them.

[@lukasther1277]

+1 a great episode idea!

[@innovassp2955]

Oh YESSSS! I need this! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@deanohit]

I too would love to see an episode on sound proofing. I'm just about to start my small space build and have been researching sound cancelling building methods not because I'm a noisy person, but because I want to cut out traffic noise

[@YT-GuestAccount]

@@lukasther1277 I'm so glad that so many other viewers seem to be interested, too!

[@1bwash]

That is something they rarely discuss on here! These homes are always beautiful, but if you're stuck inside because of work or quarantine, the noise can be extremely stress inducing. Even if you have the technical privacy of your own space, noise can cause a feeling of intrusion and lack of privacy regardless.

[@agusmindlin]

Loved it but would have used the sofa as an extra bed in order to take advantage of the extra space in the storage unit.

[@levison7935]

The sister does live there from time to time so they might’ve decided on the bed because it’s easier to set up than the sofa bed.

[@me_ca136]

I also thought that even if the sister will Star there from time to time. I also woult have took four cocking spots over countertop space every time! Saying that with a Kitchen way smaller than this.

[@apbxny216]

I agree 👍

yeah and had it against the wall to open up the area. seems too close to that cabinet/tv area
