NEVER TOO SMALL: Spanish Couple’s Multifunctional Apartment, Seville 55sqm/592sqft

День тому

To find out more about the LG Cinebeam Q head to bit.ly/4aZWopD
Drawing inspiration from their client's camper van travels, HEIMAT studio has crafted a versatile, adaptable home, designed to accommodate work from home, exercise, musical pursuits and hosting guests. By removing several internal walls and inserting a single piece of birch plywood furniture spanning the length of the apartment, HEIMAT created an open plan kitchen, dining and living space. A large birch ply kitchen unit takes up a full wall, extending into a dining nook at one end, with a central kitchen island serving as the hub of the open plan home. Within the original passage, a transforming "flexible room" was effortlessly transitions from an office space into a guest room by the lowering of a Murphy bed, with hidden curtains providing privacy as needed.

love this space! literally my only gripe with these videos is I wish you'd show the homes at night time, so we could experience the interior lighting design.

@DeeMulinge 17 днів тому

This would be so awesome

@Kim-em9cn 17 днів тому

Over time I’ve seen many comments asking for this, but for some reason NTS haven’t heeded as of yet

@anniparalyzed 17 днів тому

I think they only have a certain time frame to film these videos. They have to also take into account the owners and architects when planning the shoot. I can imagine that it is therefore not always possible to stay until the evening to film if the shoot is in the morning, for example. At best, you could ask the homeowners to do the filming themselves in the evening.

@misseffiesmith 17 днів тому

This is a great idea! Commenting so hopefully the producers see this and incorporate in the future!

@LaGarzv 17 днів тому

I believe this has a lot to do with these being residential homes. Imagine coming home from work and your kids getting home from school. You’re trying to unwind while your kids are trying to do homework. Then having to make dinner and amongst other chores you may have for the day. The last thing you may want to give up the few hours you may have before going to bed to people coming in and filming your home. Of course this exact scenario may not be everyone’s situation but you can assume most people would still like to have their home to themselves in the evening. Maybe one of these days someone will suggest their home being filmed at night.

@cheapandchic89 18 днів тому

Wow, how gorgeous is this home? I love it when there’s no gimmick- just a lovely, beautiful, peaceful apartment made to be lived in. Perfect size for two people. Well done to the architects.

@Terri_MacKay 17 днів тому

I commented something very similar. Nothing "clever" or hidden or modular. Just fantastic use of a space to create a real, livable apartment, with furniture that looks like it would actually be comfortable to use. This is easily my favourite space from this channel for those reasons. I could see myself living here...too often that isn't the case.

@ixlnxs 16 днів тому

@@Terri_MacKay Yes! I know Sevilla well and I could totally live in this house and neighbourhood.

So nice to see an apartment that is made for people to live in, rather than Air BnB. This looks comfortable and well done!

@AW-cm9gv 4 дні тому

So liveable, airy, inviting and flexible. The open-plan space ties together clearly defined zones, making the overall space feel very generous and functional. This is one of the best episodes to date.

It's the postman ringing the doorbell bit for me😭 That moment is like a cherry on top of the already-perfect video, such a homey, lovely place, you can see so much thoughts and love going into this flat and the design!

@AndreaAirlines 17 днів тому

That moment changes the whole tone of the video. At first it looked like just another video with the guys describing the apartment but after that you can hear them loosen up a bit on the script, one of them even responds to something the other says at one point. You can tell how proud they are of this one. And the deposit at the end! They even showed us the least glamorous part of the house, reminding us what a real, lived-in home feels like. Enhorabuena!

@maritsaappollis7966 17 днів тому

The design is deceptively simple. No extreme choices yet everything they need for living. The kitchen is the star of this home which is true of most homes. Disciplined use of materials makes the space calm and inviting. NTS, good job bringing us another example of modern city life!

@TamaraJoy7 18 днів тому

The shower tiles are my favourite.. stunning. Love the seamless look of all the birch ply. I’m a big fan of all the storage and where they placed the kitchen island. Love the hidden Murphy bed and curtains. Excellent design.

This multifunctional apartment in Seville is a masterclass in versatile design, showcasing how creativity can transform limited space into a dynamic living environment. From the innovative use of sliding partitions to the multipurpose furniture solutions, every element serves a dual purpose, maximizing functionality without compromising style. The infusion of Spanish aesthetics adds warmth and character, creating a cozy retreat within the bustling city. Despite its modest size, the apartment feels spacious and inviting, offering a flexible layout that adapts to the needs of its occupants. Truly inspiring to see architecture and design merge so seamlessly to create a harmonious living space.

@16demolka 18 днів тому

I love this one! One thing I learned watching NTS videos and reading NTS book is that it’s so easy to design a space with 4-6 windows. Where I live (Warsaw, Poland) in new buildings you usually have rectangular apartments with just 2 windows in 1bedroom apartment (2 bedrooms-3windows and so on), if you’re lucky maybe you have also 3rd window by the kitchen. What drives me crazy is 70-80m2 apartments with only 3 windows so there is no space for creativity in redesigning. And of course no window in the bathroom (I’m so lucky I currently have one) while the majority of apartments on NTS have them). And don’t even get me started on the prices for these boring and not functional apartments!

I also love how the three square windows in the apartment are aligned and one can see through the bedroom window through the kitchen window and the front window all the way to the the building across the street. I don't think I've ever seen anything exactly like this before. It's a very cool feature of this apartment.

@Terri_MacKay 17 днів тому

I love reading the comments on this channel because I learn so much about people. Im always interested in reading the comments from people who love a space that didn't appeal to me at all, and vice versa. This space is, by far, my favourite from this channel. I wouldn't change a single thing. It doesn't try to get "clever" with space, or disguise or hide something. I use my kitchen throughout the day, so the kitchens that are hidden behind curtains or cupboard doors never appeal to me. I love this kitchen. It's bright and airy, and incorpoates both eating areas into it. Love the open living room, the simple bedroom with all the storage in one place, and the bathroom with those gorgeous blue tiles. I normally hate curtains being used to define a space, but the way that the curtains here are completely hidden when not in use is very smart. I even love the colour of the sofa, as well as the pops of orange and yellow that are used throughout the main space, as they are 2 of my favourite colours. Love the windows, love the balcony. I just love it all!! 🧡💛 Edit...it looks like everyone who loves this space loves it for the same reasons I do. It looks like a comfortable, practical, liveable, and beautiful home. A home made to be lived in, not looked at.

@jennieanderson5291 18 днів тому

This home feels a bit big to feature on this channel, especially since they have rooftop storage. That set aside, it's a beautiful design. I love the homes featured on this channel that have REAL kitchens. You can always tell when a homeowner doesn't cook because their kitchen is more about aesthetics and dishwashing than about actual cooking. (And that lifestyle is fine, but it's not me, and I love seeing a beautifully designed, practical kitchen.) This is a really lovely kitchen. And the fact that there are windows across from each other the entire length of the apartment is FANTASTIC for airflow. I can't imagine how stuffy this apartment was before they knocked out all the walls.
