NEVER TOO SMALL Sydney Art Studio + Small Apartment - 49sqm/419sqft

Unique among 18 other 1960's walk-up apartments, Nicholas Gurney extensively reworked The Warren as a seamless space, drawing the eye deeper into the apartment. Removing the previous partitioning walls allowed all of the 49m2 space's necessities to be framed within a joinery concealed kitchen, and an inventive mirror clad central pod. Creating a calm, airy space; both art studio and home.

This designer did an amazing job and explained the project well and succinctly.

[@createparadise]

Eva Boldt I totally agree. It looks so good! I ❤️ it!

[@TeeBoyd88]

I normally mute the videos but I agree about the voice. It made me want to look at the design/video, instead of the other way around.

[@JoaoPessoa86]

"he will continue to accumulate things" oh I felt that

[@teresacarle294]

🤔 He seemed so testy about that too. Clearly the designer/architect was keenly disappointed that the homeowner did not embrace his preference for less. 👩‍🍳 I am someone who has several hobbies, loves to cook & entertain, and inherited a significant amount of sentimental items. I would not hire someone who has absolutely no fundamental understanding of all that entails. Mastermind some hidden storage or dual functionality. Show me a clever way to rotate seasonal decorations. 🍽 Please don't tell me I should give up any precious kitchen tools. People think epic design is about tossing everything out, and replacing it with something brand new. Don't force wall paper, patterned tile, bold color, open shelving, an over abundance of things that will require special maintenance, too much dark & heavy natural wood. I could go on. I prefer creative folks that can bring freshness while respecting their clients their preferences & their history. 😁 I respect minimalism. I just don't aspire to be one. Doesn't mean that I don't love serenity, order, or organization. ☮🦋💛🌼💛🌼💛🦋☮

I wish there were more videos for apartments like this, almost all the videos are minimalist. A lot of people collect art and other things and want to be able to display them nicely and still have storage. We just watched all of your videos and absolutely in love. Thank you for great content

[@junbh2]

Yes, I hate the idea that just because someone lives in a small apartment they should be forced to have everything empty. I know minimalism is trendy right now, but it's not for everyone.

[@daCubanaqt]

You know these apartments don’t stay as clean as they are in the videos. I’m sure if we dropped in on most of them, they would look more lived in.

[@iffahraihanbasties5711]

While "minimalism" is very trendy right now, i like that the homeowner knew from the start that he has no intention of reducing his collection but instead revealed that he will be adding more to his collection. "There's a place for everything and everything in its place" seems to be the direction of the design for this apartment. Good job homeowner for being true to yourself and good job to the designer for integrating your ideas to meet the homeowner's needs and expectation. Thank you @nevertoosmall for yet another great episode!

[@msl1689]

Maximalism is taking over now as a trend. But I say to each their own. I personally prefer having less things so minimalism works for me but I get that some people like to collect and keep things that express who they are.Maximalism works great for people with a collection of books/vinyl/figurines etc.

[@LynxieDove]

Agreed, I understand why minimalism is so attractive to many people, it isn't to me, in fact it kind of scares me....so I am really glad to see those who are still into having lots of stuff. I wonder how much that pod would be to build and install?

The gold kitchen is probably the only thing I'd change. I like the gold with the pod - but it doesn't seem as functional and needed with the kitchen. Having it completely black might be too dark. But a nice middle wood color, light oak might work. I'd probably change the dining table and seats then too.

Pink What part of America are you talking about? An apartment like that could go for $1500 or more in some parts of America. The only way an apartment like that would be $400 is if it was a renovated low income subsidized apartment. I have 300sqft less space than this apartment and that costs $900 and I don’t live in the city.

[@GaabrielArchAngel]

@Hyperactive Tendencies Unless you have a different personality: most of the great artists, philosophers, designers, innovators didn't require empty clean space - just look up their workshops, offices, art studios. I like polished concrete, wood, steel and glass, I like minimalism as a skeleton of the creation (building's exterior or interior) but I dislike soulless atmosphere. When a designer chooses books by the colour of their cover or arts matching with cushions and curtains that is not minimalism. That is a fashionable and trendy staging for consumers and viewers.

[@sohatanwirkhan583]

What a warm, inviting, and actually liveable space! It’s great to see a small space so full of life: sunlight, plants, art, and an individual who is also keeping in mind the comfort of their friends/family! Absolutely lovely 🌻

[@joaomendes7888]

I really liked the way that they dissimulated the TV with all the books around and at the same time making an analogy with the black niche in the art studio. Great idea to hide a TV withou hiding 2:22

[@PeetaGrifffin]

The house feels tropical with all the lights and plants.

[@mayssa8147]

This is a great work! Finally a design that has a life in it. When the minimalism is pushed so far it looks like a hidden path to depression for me. The lack of variety in material, color, texture, combined with the quest of hiding every possible little portion, for the sake of space delimitation, leaves you with a sterile space that for me looks more like the inside of a refrigerator. But i understand why many people like minimalism, it stays a personal preference and it could be a good choice for someone with a more dynamic lifestyle.

[@MiddleEarthGirl75]

I wish people didn't see minimalism as "black or white" in terms of scale. There are different ways to do it and it certainly doesn't have to look sterile or colourless. I'm currently "minimalizing" my home in getting ready to be able to sell it in a few years. I'm looking at things that have gone unused and or/even looked at. Going more lighter and neutral in tones. Asking myself "am I keeping stuff or is stuff keeping me?" By minimlizing, I clearly see what is important and/or useful to me in the life I want to live. You just have to ask yourself why you want to do it, how you want the end result to be and go from there :)

The bedroom/bathroom/hallway area has a very chic and Italian feel to it. It’s very romantic. The living room gives off a midcentury vibe that is so inviting that you want to go and spend time there and slow down whereas the studio area has a sleek feel to it, almost like a modern building. I think the storage pod is so well executed. I’m sure there would be an enormous market for it if they mass produced it.

wow the designer described the room and their thought process so eloquently... paired with the ambient music, it felt like i was in some sort of fairy tale haha

I love it, the owner has some very whimsical art and the gold and everything so 60s hippy

It’s so airy and clean looks like an oasis. Love it.

After following the channel for all those years since the beginning and after seeing all the many videos on it, coming back to see this space again confirmed this must be my favourite space you've ever featured. Love it!

Wow, this is a fabulous design! Ample storage and really livable without having to pitch 99% of your belongings. I wish all the units could benefit from such a well-thought-out design. Feels ten times the actual size. Love all the plants and the bathroom was fantastic! To make an extra guest room with privacy is genius. Kudos to designers.
