NEVER TOO SMALL Our Smallest London Tiny Home - 13sqm/140sqft

I see the cleverness in this. I also notice the scuff marks starting to appear on the lower ply surfaces and some issues with the finishes. IMHO in a tiny room like this, the finishes need to be perfect and very durable due to the close proximity of everything

Making separate dining room, office, living room, bedroom areas in a micro home like this just gives you less available space

Nice renovation. What does that rent for?

As a Londoner this project depresses me. The space is too small but it looks about right for a London studio flat. The most depressing thing is the finishes. There are gaps all over the place! It looks so sloppy and the plywood looks cheap, it feels like a grubby children’s nursery space. Nothing is plush or well thought out. The pink is bland, even the cushions are flat and lack lustre. The place was made to be rented so they put no effort into it. I’d say it’s the worst advertisement for their practice.

Knowing how humid London is the plywood will eventually get moldy, especially inside those gaps. I think the space is ok as an airbnb but definitely not for long term accomodation.

Not my taste but some clever ideas, for example the large cabinet to make a suitcase disappear.

so lovely

Nicely done but I would want a nicer sofa. That doesn’t look comfy.

I need to know how much they’re charging for rent 😬

Rich people have a bigger toilet than this whole "house". It'a s a shame what happens in this world.

This has clever design features BUT isn't suitable for long-term human habitation.

I admire the thoughtfully designed space, but in my opinion, to elevate it to a more sophisticated level, it could benefit from the incorporation of updated and modern materials and slightly luxurious fabrics.

I liked the space to live alone. If security is not a problem in the area

The space exist, and they made it better

I like it and I would like to own a place like that in London.

I live in a similar size place in Brooklyn, NY for almost 17 years. I am very happy, and I plan to stay here. I would just break up the plywood finish with more variety types of materials, such as wicker, or different touches of wood, metal, wall paper, etc. so it doesn’t look so much like a large wall of plywood. Also, the breakfast nook and bench could actually be designed with some adjustments, they might have worked out quite a bit better. These 2 people do amazing work, check out what else they do.

Tokyo sized apartment, mine was 16sqm

No thanks

I can appreciate the ingenuity, but the finishing is quite rough.

This looks a bit like a cell that you would found in a dystopian novel where humans are caged and watched by hidden cameras ... the interior design is entirely not up my alley, but it will definitely please others. I always adore these minimalist settings but I myself couldn't live like this (well at least not if I have the privilege to choose).

A house? 😂 Nothing interesting about this place there is thousands of efficiencies or small rooms in USA, this place looks like a small RV or caravan I guess you can get pink pillows and put it around your van and build a Murphy bed and call it home.

The designers do say this is a "laboratory to explore new ideas". It is not really meant to be lived in 24/7 for a long time.

Thanks for this. I was trying to get good ideas on how to design local jails, and this gave me some good ideas.

Das ist Unmenschlich!

My dormitory room was larger !

My father in law built my daughter a playhouse in our back garden and it is bigger and has nicer finishes.

I would live in a well designed 140 sq ft flat. Yes hands down. If there's a good window and it gets lots of light I'm good with that. I have lived in a 600 ft flat with few windows and bad lighting and it had a bad layout and it was depressing. I then moved out into a 300 sq ft flat with lots of windows and a good layout and it was great.

It's really really small, so a Murphy bed is a must. What's clever is the dining area that also creates an enclosed entrance so the rest of the apartment is in sight. It's nice that there are no steps, easy entry from outside. Okay for singles who work long hours, eat out most of the time & cook simple meals. Haven't figured out where the wardrobe is.

None of the seats look remotely comfortable

Very smart and clever, yes, but I (as a book collector) could not live there...

I would take a sofa over the dining nook and 'integrated seating' any day! Even just an armchair. This looks like a place designed by someone who's never going to actually live there

there is place above the house. can you use it?

Very small and everyone who walks by can see in the windows that are at pedestrian level. I can't imagine spending the pandemic in such a claustrophobic space.

I really appreciate the design. So pleasant and calm yet colorful (oh sorry, colourful). Thicker seat cushions all around and a reclining chair would be needed. Otherwise a perfect design for the space.

I've been searching plans for my 12m² room to make it big.. one thing I learned is, how windows make big impact to the house.. even it is small, the window matters the most (for me) bcoz its gives the sunlight you needed and air.. but it depends on where the windows were placed

I don't think that plywood works for such old buildings misshaped by time. It's supposed to blend into the walls, but you can see all the uneven corners ( since the wall and ceiling is crooked). Looks like someone tried to help the building with the cosmetics. Like face with wrong color of foundation 😅 i think they should have embraced English style more and implement some storage solutions additionally. But not cover everything in wood ( which i love by the way in the modern, EVEN spaces).

Interior looks basically like a camper..

This is the first never too small video which I think is too small. It's a sad little emergency type of accommodation. I personally would hate to live there, even as reasonably designed as it is.

maybe for an student doing 6 month erasmus but not for much longer in such a tiny space.

Design matters. Such a nice thing to see when things come together. Cheers.

To posezení u jídla je příliš malé a nepohodlné.. a místo sklápěcí postele by byl lepší rozkládací gauč 🛋s úložným prostorem + stolek + taburet, který by se dal použít i u jídelního stolku

this is awesome good job

I like this micro space, it is adequate for one person in oneof the world's densest cities. I would rent it!

Seems like a place a commuter could use to stay in for a few days a week, whilst having his family home in a more affordable city.

warmer wood tones would make this place seem warmer and friendlier. this seem sterile

I lived in a 26 foot caravan for a while and I thought that was small lol
at least the lounge section which was U shaped could sit 8 drunks

Made the impossible possible.

How did this get through planning 13 sq. m?

Nice, but it needs a comfy seating area. That small sofa/chair with the thin cushions and straight back, doesn’t do it.
