Video Description

Hot damn! Issue 4 of the Never Too Small Magazine is out now and available to purchase https://www.nts-store.com/. It's a wild ride through colour, creativity, and small-space brilliance. Get your copy now. Architect Caroline Duncan's compact apartment is bright, flexible and full of custom DIY solutions and smart storage. Thoughtful, inventive details include a customised Muji bench that provides both window seating and hidden storage, a modular felt sofa that easily converts into a bed, and a cat-friendly laundry nook that discreetly houses a litter box. The kitchen is a seamless blend of high and low, combining IKEA carcasses with bespoke birch plywood fronts and porcelain handles inherited from family. A full-height storage wall cleverly unifies the kitchen and wardrobe space while concealing a mirrored door to the bedroom. Subtle multifunctionality is scattered through-out the home: a recessed headboard niche doubles as a projector shelf, and a wall-mounted desk preserves the openness of the living space. 00:00-00:57 Introduction 00:57-01:22 Location 01:22-03:31 Floor Plan 03:31-04:49 Entrance 04:49-06:46 Living Area 06:46-10:00 Kitchen 10:00-11:46 Bedroom 11:46-12:44 Bathroom 12:44-13:39 Conclusion Read the full article about this apartment here: https://www.nevertoosmall.com/post/architects-handmade-take-on-old-paris-apartment #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign Ep 230 Project Name: Caroline Duncan's Apartment Architect: https://www.instagram.com/caro_duncan/ Produced by New Mac Video Agency Creator: Colin Chee Producer: Lindsay Barnard Director and Cinematographer: Nam Tran Editor: Jessica Ruasol Music: Artlist.io Sunset by Ben Hendler Dreaming of a Song by Amos Ever Hadani Reflection Lake by Ariel Shalom Moon Dance by JADE VY Share your projects with us- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/submissions Subscribe to our newsletter- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/subscribe Check out our store- https://www.nts-store.com Website- https://www.nevertoosmall.com Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/nvtsmall Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/nvtsmall
