NEVER TOO SMALL: Multifunctional Studio Apartment, Singapore 43sqm/463sqft

Support from our fans means we can make more episodes of Never Too Small. Find out how you can support us at / nevertoosmall
Situated in Bukit Panjang, which directly translates to long hill in Malay, the aptly named Gradient Space took inspiration from the abundance of nature and natural sloping terrain surrounding the urban area. The talented team from METRE Architects made no alterations to the floor plan and existing built-in cabinetry of the new studio apartment, opting for all design interventions to be additions. The key element being a single sloped gradient containing bed, sofa, working come dining table and coffee table all fused into one, the space and function changing as you move up and down the slope. Ample storage can be found inside the element, both underneath the bed and inside the half steps, which double as additional seating. The custom made the table and bench in the same diagonal geometry, fit into one another and allow for easy shifting and reconfiguration. All the carpentry is made from plywood core, finished in the same laminate as if everything was carved from a single piece of wood.

[@certainstrength]

While it's not for me, I'm very glad the NTS channel is able to bring us thought provoking design content like this. Thanks!

[@rig2376]

I feel the same way. While my family may not be actively seeking to live in a tiny space, we have downsized and incorporated elements of what I've seen on these videos into our new home.

[@あまりない-n3n]

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

[@kamsable]

Those sharp corners on each and every step. My pinky toes curled in as much as they could.

[@SunshineMena]

I think this space is over-designed. Apart from the glass partition in the kitchen, every single addition made the space look smaller, all the sharp angles feel dangerous and unwelcoming and there are already existing storage solutions that would have worked and looked more cozy. The way the bed is raised, blocking an entire floor to cealing window is unthinkable to me. A nice bed, a good sofa, tv console and maybe a dual function office/dining table top on hinges, maybe a light translucent curtain partition between living and keeping would have been enough.

[@mrmidnight8975]

True

[@Lucas-vd2gx]

If the space was black instead of white it might have been cooler

[@simont390]

100%. It feels like a gimmick for the sake of a gimmick, honestly.

[@SebastianAllena]

I Agree

[@mssonoma1]

Didn't even think about the window being blocked! My first thought was with all those sharp edges and hard surfaces, my clumsy self would get hurt immediately lol

[@akeipessoa8642]

so happy to see a kitchen thats separate from the other rooms! its a pet peeve of mine bc i know that even with a range hood the smell of food can get to other places. i was pleasantly suprised to see the glass partition. very nice!!

[@gus473]

It is nice, and I wonder whether it could be done with the electroluminescent panels that go from clear to "frosted" translucent with the flip of a switch? (When I don't have time to make the clear glass spotless! 😉) 😎✌🏼

[@ceerichard2358]

@@gus473 GOOD IDEA!!! The light could still come through, somewhat, but would block the unsightliness of after-dinner dishes ;D !

[@ceerichard2358]

I really liked that, too! It, also, gives the sensory illusion of more space, because of having to stop, open, and close the door to enter the main area. I think one would subconsciously "add" space in one's mind because of the acting out of leaving a space, closing it off, and entering a new one.

[@Blah-Blah-Blah143]

Not to mention the noise, and staring at unwashed dishes etc while eating a meal before it gets cold. I think though if it was me, I'd have put the table and coffee table on lockable castors in case I needed extra bench space in the kitchen.

[@ennyyyable]

It feels like you lay all the closets and cabinets on the floor and sleep on them.

[@muntongleong1755]

The architect articulated the principles of his design very well. As a result, his work came alive as I “toured” the apartment through this video. Well done! 👏🏻

[@tangocash342]

I understand need for storage but this too crowded. It could be me but I just can not stand so many edges.

[@katsee8699]

Same here. And I would become easily annoyed by the asymmetrical shapes of the furniture.

[@jennienightingale727]

i can feel the bruises forming just by looking at this

[@amandalloyd8812]

While there are elements I would adjust, I love the tansu-chest feel and the different levels (for cats it would heaven). It’s bright and the window blockage seems minimal. The storage seems to be a minimalist solution for a secret maximalist. Combining the tv wall bench w a table and an soft ottoman and lots of plants would be my personal adaptations. I like the crispness of the space. It’s like a white shirt. Just needs a few personalized accessories. 🙂

[@NadikaNadja]

Am I the only one who thinks this is not great? Usually love NTS stuff but this one seems to have taken a fairly decent studio apartment - not the biggest, but not that small either (i've seen much smaller) - and made it more complicated? A simple bed, couple extra closets/cabinets by the side would have ended up doing more? Right now it feels like too much clutter in a small space.

[@NadikaNadja]

Not to mention, those steps and edges and sharp corners - just going to the bathroom at night is a hazard.

[@vwood2]

Agree 100% - all that wood wasted, and the airy spaciousness of the apartment they showed at the beginning is gone.

[@MsTeeweetea]

Yes i think this is the worst design by far. The other Singaporean one w the white moveable furniture was already ghastly but this one is even worse.

[@MsTeeweetea]

[@Tasty_sand]

It looks more comfortable living in the kitchen space than the rest of that convoluted mess

[@doctordonnanoble]

I love it, nice to see some original creative ideas rather than what is trendy/quirky in the design world. Storage (especially for larger items) is a genuine issue in studios, it's a very creative solution to maximize storage options.

[@spiksplinter]

If you slip and fall, it's game over. Corners everywhere

[@scarletK15]

One of those projects that look nice on paper in theory but quite cumbersome to live in. A space so governed by the huge rigid structure in the middle makes for an uninspiring living. For starters, I would have preferred if the stairs and table were more mobile and less obtrusive.

[@abrahamsantana6524]

Agree

[@fshbulb1]

What a beautiful and minimalistic approach to a small apartment. It allows for so much storage without feeling cluttered. Bravo!

[@jessisoffline]

I love how playful this space is, and for such a small space! Though I can see this not working for a lot of clients, for myself as a student, or independents, it seems so light and weightless. I also love how there were little to no adjustments made to the original floor plan, honouring what was existing. Beautiful!!

[@LenaLuthorWife]

I like new stuffs and design ideas like this. good to know there is something different out there in the world crafted from someone's mind

[@Baroccogiappo]

The sleeping/living area is really cool but the fact that is placed next to a window, covering a good part of it, disturbs me a lot.

[@SCANNO21]

Extremely aesthetic, really thought out to the smallest detail, and with a fun look, but, That's it... it looks so uncomfortable and unfriendly with all these sharp angles, these hard and strict seats, these steps without handrails... Uninhabitable when you have a broken leg or worse. I feel it's cold, geometric, and so bare that it becomes sad, I don't feel the evocation of nature at all. Furthermore, I see an clever intervention of interior fittings and cabinetmaking, not much architecture. To me, it seems more of an intellectual game than a living space, but as long as the inhabitant is happy, it should do the trick

[@nofurtherwest3474]

lol

[@ceerichard2358]

Yes, I concur. The carpentry work appears quite excellent, carving a multiplicity of storage spaces from a small footprint. I can see the "wardrobe" area being quite functional, with a sense of privacy. The whole of it, though, leaves me feeling old. The blandness of the space leaves me feeling repelled instead of welcomed and embraced. It's certainly a young person's space; I can't perceive of a person of any substantial age feeling comfortable in it as a daily living space, and entertaining would prove challenging for me. It's a lovely, abbreviated, Lego-type maze of a living space.

[@inveele]

I think there is a fundamental cultural difference in esthetics. What a Westerner may consider as cold and empty is serene and elegant for an Easterner. I like it, I think this is perfect for a young professional. Maybe not so much for an older adult.

[@shibolinemress8913]

I agree. I'm sure the client loves it and that's great, but it's not for me. The angled carpentry makes me feel very uncomfortable, and those stairs look dangerous without a handrail. To me it looks sterile and uninviting overall, but that's just me.

[@osoorts]

my thoughts exactly

[@mavicityrelayson2924]

Glad that it works for her lifestyle. :) I need three desks + storage: for writing, for sewing, for painting. I miss seeing tiny homes where people have hobbies and crafts and cumbersome but beloved machines and tools etc.

[@waynemartin4453]

What a beautifully done kzbin.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU ! The instructions and the photographs are brilliant. It is thorough and genuinely informative. Ryan got another winner! No one does it better!

[@EdricHsu]

Truly unique and interesting design! And to those complaining that it’s not for them… well, it’s customised for the owner. Not everything is about you!

[@maritsaappollis7966]

As far as I can remember, this is the first NTS video that I’ve not finished watching. I just find this type of design much too strange and hard. I couldn’t ever live like that. I don’t think it’s welcoming or practical. I get that they tried something different and it’s worth seeing it to know what’s out there, but there are so many better options!

[@MsTeeweetea]

Me too!! I stopped half-way cos i really couldn’t agree w the architect’s narration n reasoning.

[@liz2099]

Interesting but would make me feel like I’m living in a lecture hall or office.

[@stevenr5149]

Such a thoughtful design. The effect of all those angles creating that feeling of a curving spiral. Super uncluttered, yet cozy. You just didn't find a way to hide the storage in a small apt. You put it in the middle of the room and made it look cool.

[@gus473]

Even the "mini-split" air conditioner becomes inconspicuous with this build out! Nice! 👍🏼😎✌🏼

[@brittneyihrig4270]

Watched the whole thing on fast forward, waiting to see if there was anything remotely livable or comfortable, to make me wanna watch.

[@j.b.5230]

I like this. It is a bold design and not to everyone's tastes. But the clients likes it and that is the most important. I think the only thing that detracts is the fixed table between the bed and tv - it closes the room up and doesn't seem to serve enough of a function to warrant the permanent loss of space.

[@feimuihong5668]

Unique indeed. I can see how the whole design caters to the client's lifestyle. A cosy place for girlfriends to gather, gossip and play. Kudos to such bold designs!

[@porbidapastelann]

I think this is the first design from NTS that I didn't like.

[@comfort-and-joy]

I like watching Never Too Small for the pleasure of clever, aspirational homes, and also for the pleasure of being scandalized by the very weird homes.

[@simonebrady05]

Agreed!

[@BibiKhanum]

Perhaps my least liked renovation by NTS. It feels so cluttered despite having so much storage space. It looks cold, uninviting, and barren. There is nothing aesthetically appealing about so much geometric wood. Pokey awkward angles. What a waste of a space.

[@minnah101]

Remains me of a modern art gallery- I do like the concept.

[@Tetrick25]

Definitly a different approach than usual - but that is exactly why I love this channel. I enjoyed the idea of this all-in-one behemoth inside a tiny apparment. Everything is somehow connected and provides this feel of a peaceful unit for me personally. While I do not know if i would stay there for longer periods, I would really enjoy to try its "look and feel" for a few weeks or at least a vacation.

[@jelenazugic4500]

[@clem618]

[@simont390]

Design-wise this idea is so fucking cool. On a practical level though it looks like a nightmare apartment to exist in long-term. If the pandemic has taught me anything it's the importance of separating different aspects of life. Having work, leisure, food, sleep all be in the same place is a sure-fire recipe for stagnation and depression, in my opinion. Not to mention having seen the 'before' photo, this enormous gradient set-up makes the room seem absolutely miniscule by comparison, and it wasn't a big room to begin with!

[@youtubeojunk]

You're definitely speaking from a place of privilege then -- most people in the world don't have the luxury of having separate spaces for the activities you describe.

[@ellasmith6013]

🤣

[@somanyquestions3180]

I'm so torn about this one. On the one hand it's absolutely gorgeous, I love the colour of the wood, all the diagonals and unexpected shapes, and how visually interesting it is. But on the other hand, I really wouldn't want to live in it. Mainly, I think, because my personal preference is for a separate bedroom, and this not only doesn't really separate the sleeping area, but actually (and, it feels to me, inadvertently rather than intentionally) turns the bed into the focus of the entire living space. I do think this sort of design would be absolutely brilliant for an office or creative workplace, though.

[@jaroslaval9159]

I congratulate the architect in the amount of storage space! I have seen so many small places with just not enough storage! I agree with some other comments that that bed and sofa together made the room look smaller, but one has to decide what trade offs to make. It is definitely interesting and clean looking! I could see myself living there, but needing to take walks now and then. :-)

[@jimnelson9775]

I love this space! Wonderful that she has a balcony as well.

[@farasyahandmade7597]

Those stairs are scary. The entire set up looks extremely uncomfortable. I would have placed a murphy bed cum sofa set up instead and add an island to the kitchen. You'd still have space for a wardrobe and a small desk for WFH. (And it won't block those lovely windows!)

[@paulafigueiredo7834]

This is an absolute wonder!! Congratulations to the architechs and all professionals envolved in creating and making this project real!! The perfect example of design in function of better living!!

[@daniellestephenson8077]

Wow the geometry and design is beautiful it doesn’t scream home. It seems like a design that would be better suited for a hotel room. But it is beautiful.

[@jasonedmunds]

The custom furniture doesn’t feel like it belongs in this apartment if I’m honest. The way it covers the windows, doesn’t match the wardrobe or kitchen etc makes it feel like the space is at war with itself, like they had an idea and were set on doing it without really considering the space and limitations already there. Also I agree with others, so many hard surfaces and angles it feels aggressive and bulky for that small space, making it feel even less cosy than I think it would have if you just moved in and bought some standard furniture. I like some of the ideas here but I don’t think they’ve been realised to their potential in this case.

[@catemoon]

Blocking a full length window seems criminal.

[@paperpalacequeen]

I think this interior is amazing. The unique and clever design it’s both minimalist, functional and yet utterly unique. I do not think that it makes the space look smaller at all. Well done to the architect

[@sassy3923]

[@JAMoore-zz3ki]

Very minimalistic, but also artistic. I like it.

[@LeilaLamb]

Not for me, this one, but I appreciate the aesthetic.

[@evolutionxbox]

Agreed

[@Niriixa]

For some reason my favorite part of this is the corner with the sloped cabinet between kitchen and bath. It feels the most streamlined yet aesthetically pleasing and efficient use of that space. I think the big problem in small spaces like this is always storage, so I get why they were trying to find a solution that still allows for a big bed, sofa and TV space without compromising a streamlined feeling, so using as much of the space under the bed as possible makes sense. My only issue is that the room feels very "bottom heavy" for lack of a better term and the wooden pieces against the walls make the space feel a little crowded. Also, I don't believe those steps would make for particularly nice guest seats. They may as well could have added a foldable table for the kitchen bench. But with that slope, half of the bench isn't even usable😬

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

I feel like this is form over function. There's definitely beauty in this design, but when going in this direction you also end up with a lot of wasted space. I would personally have separated the bed space from the living space, even if it was just with a thin dividing wall. It seems strange to have a couch right next to the bed.

[@tessan613]

I kinda love everything about it except for the colour. Feels like a place that really caters to the residents wishes and not only what a designer fancies.

[@TheBouboumj]

The king of storage

[@Bubbles-od2tv]

I love it, it's very original and creative. He created storage out of thin air. If you look at 2:18, you get a nice view of the what the owner will see. She gets a huge closet on the left, the entry to the bathroom on the left, but he manages to squeeze in the mirror and also conceals the bedroom. She literally can walk into a whole storage "room" under the bed! I might have chosen a lighter wood though.

[@tuppence937]

Interesting aesthetically. Love the angular tv wall. It feels like the table and additional stool overcrowd the place - and I wonder if the apartment would enjoy a greater sense of space without these additions. Currently it feels a bit like you walk around the furniture - rather than being able to walk freely. And I personally would add a few more soft furnishings to bring some texture and warmth to the space.

[@aleenaprasannan2146]

I love how this design makes asymmetry work....But I am skeptical as to how functional the place will be for someone who spends a lot of time home. There is only space just enough to squeeze in the dressing area after the storage door is open. I cannot imagine how you can move, or even bend down after you opened one. Can a person sit in that stool in front of the mirror? That area is also in the shadows. As someone who got a fractured ankle ligament just from losing my footing down two steps...those narrow steps, with no side protection gave be the tingles...imagine getting to bed tipsy or getting off it with a hangover. It's esthetically pleasing, but it falls short in being comfortably or effortlessly functional..... P.S: Those steps would make sense if the aim was to make it easier to discourage being in bed unless for bedtime

[@Alexandra_Wolf]

Visually it’s beautiful. I’ve loved the previous designs which have sliding rooms which can expand or contract and beds which can become Murphy beds or office space. I think the table in the middle could somehow be pulled out from one of the two build ins from the bed or TV area.

[@miremor7807]

it reminds me of a school’s gym 🏀 with a lot of lockers and bleachers. The kitchen with the glass divider it’s such a great idea because it doesn’t cut the flow

[@bwwaah]

Enjoying the features from Singapore! I love that the architect and homeowner were able to bring such an Avant Garde design even to such a small space. As someone who finds form as equally important as function, this space is inspiring and shows that we don't need to buy a hollywood mansion to incorporate aesthetic dreams.

[@Anjel1e]

I love the sculptural look and feel of the design! I imagine that you could easily have friends over and lounge on the bed and couch/daybed. My one tiny criticism would be that I wished the wood chosen matched the pre-existing 'wood' in the apartment. Or go more colourful/artsy and extended this to the existing apartment furnishings. And maybe a slightly bigger tv.

[@grigorisgirl]

Yes, I thought the place would have looked much better with a different colour. Either match the original or go for a totally different look. All interesting stuff though.

[@fshah1000]

First time when the before apartment was actually more warm and welcoming than the after. Everything in this apartment makes the apartment less homely… the kitchen, the bathroom and the balcony was perfect as it is. The owner could’ve made a better setup using an IKEA bunk bed with a sofa space underneath and a nice white tv console on the opposite wall. The only good change was the glass separation with the kitchen , that too if the owner cooks. Else not needed.

[@ubmarina2890]
