placing a huge wooden block in the middle of the appartment seems to me like the opposite of an "open living space". also leaving that one inch gap between the wooden module and the ceiling did nothing for me, aside from collecting dust

Still, 9.3k likes... oh dear... Why? This new layout creates so much circulation space which cannot be utilised. Apart from this fundamental issue, there are so many more issues which will take place during everyday use. e.g. a small TV to be watched over 2m away. Very limited space to open the wardrobe...

i think people are forgetting this is a very very small space. only 250 something sq ft of which the bathroom and balcony take out a chunk. i imagine they went for this design bc the earlier layout kept the individual rooms or spaces very tiny and cluttery. i can understand people's annoyance w the new design but this is ideal for such a small space to allow the sensation of wider flowing space with all the living spaces intact. the architect always knows best i'd say than us on the internet

I'm not really mad about the pod. But would definitely improve the fold out tables. They are blocking your way - and can't be used by more then 2 people. Any other idea would have been better. You don't have a place to work at or eat this way - and 24m² is still big enough to have either or both.

It's actually crazy how much sense the old layout made, with minimal effort you would've had a nice open plan living/kitchen/dining area with lots of light, and a cozy bedroom off that.

Same idea. Just wrote my comment a few seconds back before I read yours (copied mine in here so you don't have to look for it): I would use the bottom of the bed as a full-sized fold-out dining table/studying desk for up to 4 people (when the bed is folded). I'd also replace the couch with one with wheels and put a 43"+ TV screen above the couch. During the day, you could watch the TV from the couch, with the couch moved to your desired location, or you could watch it while sitting at the table. At night, you could watch the TV directly from your bed. Either the designer or the client (or both) didn't think about the furniture placement as much as they could. I mean, the tables felt like "Oh, I forgot to put a table, let's slap it in here, where it certainly won't feel claustrophobic." kind of idea. Sorry, but not a fan of this one. :/

Very clean apartment with water, electricity and water usage are all included in the price. Plus rents are by law not allowed to be increased in Switzerland, as long as the tenant remains in an apartment after the lease has been signed.

Imagine sitting on that sofa in that massive area and watching that tiny TV, why would you want to eat dinner facing your door? Why does it need to be two separate tables? Its inconceivable bad

Another beautiful pod design from Nicholas! I loved his work on The Warren location & there's some great pieces here too! I continue to love his use of reflective surfaces with the panels under the couch and the warped reflective surface behind the small shelving unit. (Seriously the warped reflective surface made me so happy - I need to find a way to use this.) I'm also a big fan of how the space was separated! The kitchen looks amazing & having it done out in black provides a visual reminder that you are in the kitchen space. I've been seeing more and more people using either pods or larger dressers as space dividers in open spaces and I really love this. I know so many people, including myself, who rent and cannot erect walls to separate space, so using furniture to do so provides a functional option to achieve the space you're looking for. While I'm not doing something the exact same, I actually use my couch as a half wall to visually separate my living room from my work space. Thanks for sharing - can't wait to see more!

Yes. I've seen wall beds with a built on couch that folds away underneath when the bed is pulled down. That would be so much more comfortable. Which would free up that couch area for another storage wall that houses the TV with a fold down dining table. I'm sure this is what the client wanted but it seems like the space could have been used a little more efficiently! To each their own.

Why would you take out the separate bedroom... I would hate to have my sleeping area in the living room right behind the kitchen. No way to have someone stay over now. Also, you can't have both tables (desk and dining table) down at the same time because you can't access the other side (either bathroom/ kitchen or living room). If you work from home you'd like to have your desk always set up. If you sit on the uncomfortable looking sofa you're basically staring at a wall or a tiny monitor weirdly positioned to the side. Definitely not my cup of tea but I guess it's what the client wanted. Still not very well thought out.

I see that many people disliked the idea and execution, but I digress. (I mean except for the sad tables). Freeing up the walls for additional attached furniture makes it spacious enough. Also adding vertical surfaces that the hub provides made the space more complex and thus bigger. This is really good enough since almost all sides have natural lighting already. But to each their own anyway.

I am not a Murphy bed fan, therefore I would prefer to utilize the sofa area for bed, and the bed area for a sofa. Clean and visually pleasant though.

I honestly love this design, and am surprised at how disappointed ppl are. It's open plan, but the central pod provides a sense of separation, and everything in that pod is arranged thoughtfully around its functions on each side. The mirrored art niche and dining/study gaps provide light and ventilation circulation, and the "uncomfortable sofa" is such a flexible lounge area! For guests to sleep, a surface for board game nights, or even a console if the owner decides to place a larger TV on the wall above it. The integrated lighting in the pod also provides multiple functions. I'd definitely live here!

pod was an interesting idea , but neither the dining nor the study is compatible. it's too congested and uncomfortable . seriously no one would sit there and work or eat. And that couch is so uncomfortable , i would rather sit on the floor lay my back on the couch .Some how the kitchen is perfect . Everything in the kitchen space is neatly integrated and there is ample amount of storage and lot of natural light

This is not a livable space. If you’re only sleeping, showering and having breakfast, it’s ok, but I don’t even like it for that because it’s so cold and uninviting - more like a hotel room. Putting that pod in the middle of the room ruins the whole place. I would have put a sleeping nook where the kitchen is and used a wardrobe in front of it to conceal it and create some division with the living and dining area. Then a real sofa, possibly L-shaped, on the other side of the wardrobe, with kitchen in the opposite corner, probably in an L-shape. Then use the wall next to the kitchen for a wall-mounted television and small desk that can expand and double as a dining table. Then put vertical storage all around the room. I would also reconfigure the bathroom so that the shower is on the back wall with glass doors, and sink and toilet are on either side of the shower - preferably katty-korner for more space.

@@scaryjeff after all it is the clients needs and wants that are addressed and architecturally designed for, everyone has to understand that. Clients have different existing conditions, preferences, budget, again needs and wants. It is conceived, built and suited for them and for their lifestyle.

Not the biggest fan of this particular design, but overall super stoked to see (thanks to NTS) that there are clients who dare to choose for an unconventional design, instead of a super cramped, traditional lay out of a house on a small footprint. Keep on producing!

This is the best feature on this channel so far. I love the clean aesthetic and the clever use of the space, especially using the central unit to divide the ‘wet area’ from the living/sleeping area without it feeling too massive.

That's brilliant. And, I think that type of solution might be fairly practical to implement. I love this. You could even put this piece of "furniture" on heavy duty casters and move it to one side or the other to free up the overall floor space.

I don t find this design that useful. That unit it s in the middle of the room and you have to go around it for everything. Also you have a small working space and a small table for kitchen. The unit it s blocking some of the window... why?

I don't know what it is about integrated refrigerators - but I'm obsessed. I love a kitchen that hides appliances in a very sleek design. That being said, this kitchen doesn't have nearly enough counter space for what I would need. I appreciate them trying to separate the space, but I feel like it doesn't really flow. I really like the use of reflective surfaces though and the sliding door to the bathroom. Sliding & pocket doors are so underutilized! Doors take up so much unnecessary space
