I loved the flat. But my favourite part of the video was when the designer said with a flourish, “we installed a big kitchen because the owner loves to cook…” then showed the cupboards and fridge open with only two oranges and some condiments… THAT is the kitchen of a bachelor in central Madrid!

I loved this apartment for its use of color and uniqueness. I realize it’s not for everyone, but it is beautiful and furniture can be changed or added if needed. Lots of storage that is a real plus

That was a challenging space to begin with. The original dark wooden beams of the slanted walls felt very oppressing - by painting them white and adding skylights it feels much more airy and the additional light enlivens the space. One also has to take into account the climate, during summer you need to counter the heat by creating airflow and using cool colours. Love the colour palette!

I think this is the first time I have appreciated the use of glass bricks - I can imagine the light from the shower into the living area at night would be truly lovely (a night shot in each video would be a welcome addition). Very clever design in this one.

Among all the meticulous details that made this renovation project a success, there are two major things that really breathed new life into this old attic: the use of various bright colors and mirrors. These two big ideas blended perfectly with other details to give this once old and dark attic a bright and voluminous look, wowing those who see it. Another element that also played a critical role in making this renovation project a success was the architect's efforts to make the apartment not just livable, but also individual and significant for the owner. The owner works in the film industry, so the architect tried to make the renovated apartment look like a film of Wes Anderson. The owner likes to cook, so the architect tried to carve out a full-size kitchen in this small space. Such efforts to make this place a reflection of the owner's profession and personality are as commendable as the ingenious design. I saw in the comments that some viewers genuinely disliked the orange chair by the triangular working station. Everyone is different when it comes to tastes and preferences. What one person dislikes could be a gem in another person's eyes. 😉 The owner appears to like that abstract orange chair a lot - it is part of what makes the apartment a reflection of his tastes and preferences. Thanks for sharing!

I love how they implemented storage in the low areas...Gonzalo even said if the storage works the house works. Brilliant!

I really liked the final result. Three things I would do differently. I would extend the kitchen furniture until the roof to gain space and void dust accumulation over the top; the sitting area doesn’t look comfortable for long hours of work; equip some of the lower cabinets with drawers for better access.

What's the trend with impractical and uncomfortable chairs?

I loved the skylights, the changes to the layout for public and private, and that beautiful kitchen 💛

The front door being made of glass is the best design decision!

Well, actually I think that "before" picture of the main space was much more cozy and expressive than "after". The utility of "after" is better, no doubt, but color cheme makes it look a bit like a hospital rather than Wes film. Also lots of mirrors is not that good because they tend to polute by everything and need to be cleaned often. Simply adding skylights and organizing floor plan, storages but not painting everything white would be better solution to keep the soul of the apartement. That's only my opinion, project is good anyway if a person who lives there likes it.

By getting rid of overpowering, old and oh-so-boring brown, the apartment has been transformed into a White Canvas and become a BEAUTIFUL, "Just" Beautiful, Piece of Art. 🎨 And the location is cherry on top. Love it! Thank you Never too small.

✨✨👌🏼 The only thing is i wouldn't have put wardrobes next to the cooking area because of the smell into the clothes... The mirrors are brilliantly placed, and the tiles from the shower brilliantly settled.

The tiled roof as a backdrop to the balcony is utterly beautiful.... like a waterfall of terracotta. Excellently designed. I am inspired. Thank you.

Roberto was having the time of his life showing off that apartment - so much smirking! What a great video (and what a fun flat!)

Loved this design! ❤ As an Hispanic originally from Guatemala, South America, it is so marvelous how this design combines the traditional Terraza-Baldosa floors with modern architecture and design. Love it! ❤ Annndddd..... I want that 'Terraza' 😁

I can imagine the apartment being really cosy in the cold Madrid winters too...win-win

Loved how Photogenic this place is!

Love how clean, tranquil this is and the use of color is beautiful. The use of white makes the space feels much larger.

Another brilliant Gon architects renovation.

While it’s not my taste, I love this designer’s vision. His choice of materials and lighting are fantastic.

It's a weird & challenging space, no question. Some of the decisions make a lot of sense - adding storage in lowest parts of the main room, moving the bedroom, creating an office spot. But it looks very choppy & uncomfortable, honestly. Nothing to direct the flow; no unifying aesthetics. Lots of missed opportunities .

Normally I hate the white wall effect, but in here it really serves to make the colors pop and feel even more vibrant and impactful. This space looks very elegant!

I really liked the pure bright light in this home. I loved the pale soft yellow on the kitchen cabinets, it’s beautiful. I liked the clever storage, and the large format floor tiles. I like the use of mirrors but, would use them above head height where possible to still bounce light around, without the distraction of constantly seeing my reflection on multiple walls around my home. I did not like the desk at all. Overall, from what it used to look like, I think the transformation was incredible!

"everything was in the wrong place" . Describes perfectly many of the places I've lived in😢

There's like one comfortable chair in that house

The space is small, but it feels airy and bright. So different from how it was originally!

Another brilliant flat. Personally I wouldn’t want the shower in the bedroom, but what a transformation from the apartment’s previous state. What a terrific home. The colours inspire me.

I really feel this apartment's environment. Just love it. Light idea with round window and glass bricks are brilliant.

Omg the before is much better and way more homely than the after…

The designers have put a lot of thought into how it would be lit at night, so it would have been nice to have seen a couple of shots after dark!

Wow, what a transformation of an awkward and dark space. Clever design elements, along with generous amounts of natural light and vibrant colours have created this apartment into a stylish home. Probably one of the best you have featured given the restraints the architects had to work with.

The use of innovative color choices and well positioned mirrors integrate well with capitalizing on the structure of the sloping ceilings. Excellent idea of how to use the glass blocks for the shower and light dispersal. The NTS videos are an inspiration to me as an artist.

Wow. I love the design. Really spacious and has a great flow. Love the kitchen cupboards and the mirrors tricked me. I thought that the cupboards just kept going and going, lol. Great use of space.

With the severely slanted roofline I think this design made the most of the space. I love the yellow kitchen cabinets and blue round dining table with pops of orange. The only thing I would change is that I would add two colorful upholstered chairs by the window in the main living room. From what I could see the chair in that space looks uncomfortable and has a towel over it! Great natural lighting throughout. This is a very nice apartment.

Spanish designers know the power of the color

Wow! Great use of space and colors. One of my favorites. ❤

8:32 Roberto casually taking a shower while the crew is filming 😄 one on the best apartments I think!

They did the best they could with what they had!

this is one of the few exceptions where i liked the before better.

Loved this one! Feels like a balance of a very impactful and curated space without the coldness of living in a gallery or museum.

Love love love this, and big fan of Wes Anderson

I feel hurt just looking at those low ceiling columns , my head hurts 😅

It was transformed in a very unique way. ✨✨

Wait! How is Roberto doing that coffee? The flat looks great and way bigger that it is. The desk seems to be made to actually avoid working at home 😆

a perfect example to having a vision and a creative brief because although i don't personally like the chosen furniture or resulting aesthetic, i respect the commitment to the project!

The production quality and pace of these videos is so lovely. We hope the videos on our humble little Architecture KZfaq Channel will be at this level one day. Thanks for the content.

It looks unreal, like a dollhouse or something. Kinda cute but also strange

No way, I used to live across the road from this apartment!

The way it reflects the colorful life and architecture of the city

It is the best flat ,i've seen in never too small.

"Spend hour and hours reading" on that flimsy chair...yeah... a real dream

Great size... Bright light colours.. just needed a few softer touches..sofas. Cuddle chair .. it can still be classy .. The bedroom needs some warmth... love the skylights definitely adds to the brightness especially with mirrors...

More Kubrickian retrofuturism than anything. Especially that orange chair, which looks like it's straight out of A Clockwork Orange.

I really like this and I normally don’t go for bold colours. Good use of an awkward space.

This place is both innovative and creative

thoughtful and gentle, how lucky to live in that location, - of course you have to be good looking to cope with that many mirrors in intimate spaces lol

Love the shower that acts as a lantern 😍. The whole design is really nicely done and conceived - but I must say I couldn't live there, just under the roof (which doesn't look insulated?) in Madrid, or at least not in Summer 🥵

very fun colors

I can look past the uncomfy chairs or lack of conformity to Wes Andersonian ideals. But what I can’t look past is why you would put the room you use the most under the lowest part of the roof? The bedroom has a great, high ceiling you don’t have to duck under; why wouldn’t you dedicate this space to (at least some of) the living area? Every time he went to sit down at the table I would flinch 😳 Maybe the ceiling is higher IRL? 🤷‍♀️

Great renovation of this space…the colour makes me so happy

Not sold on the mirrored bricks for the shower space where you can see the outline of a naked person from the living area. The bedroom is too stark white for my personal taste. Easily changed up by some wall art and an earthy coloured throw blanket. I do like all the storage. Great to see a full size fridge in the kitchen.

Mega cozy apartment, the balcony is the best 🤩

Thoughtful and innovative. Great solutions for more light! Nicely done!

I liked how the floorplan was reconfigured and the amount of space/cabinets offered in the kitchen. I know that the owner really likes his orange chair but from a body mechanics point of view, I am definitely not a fan of the desk/chair set up. Absolutely love the bedroom and the shower. Maybe a lighter colored tile in the main bathroom with the sink and toilet would lighten that area up a bit but I like the ingenuity of it being hidden behind the mirrored panel. I love the outside balcony and overall really like the design. I would probably put something different instead of the chair and the plant, perhaps a unique looking chair to go with the rest of the design and the plant on a plant stand to give the floor a better space.

a shot every time he introduces something!

I can feel the joy in this space

Loved the use of color and the space was incredibly well thought out. I like the minimalist furnishings but I might have opted for something more cozy for sitting on at the desk. I appreciated all the natural light and the fact that the balcony was an integral part of the living design. I could def see myself living there.

Great video ! I love this flat and love the colours ! ❤👍

Amazing transformation!

Utterly superb !!!

I'm really curious, isn't it considered risky when you show exactly which building and floor the apartment ist?

One of the best yet

Beautiful space. It gives off such a private cozy feeling. I would definitely be in that patio everyday.

Gorgeous transformation of the space, but i'm not sure about putting the closet all the way at the other end of the apartment right next to the kitchen. It's so far and surely all your clothes will get smelly?

Beautiful ! Modern, functional and cool.

very cool small space

Wow cool, gestaltete Wohnung und die vanille Farbe der Küche einfach toll. Wenn Du noch Platz hast ziehe ich bei Dir ein. 🤭 👍😁

Hermoso! De los mejores que he visto. Me encanta que la fuerza del ojo se va a los colores quedando fuera de campo las lineas de las columnas del techo. ❤

Full of owner's character! Love it~

I like the layout, but I really liked the dark wood beams!

Such a relaxing video… the soundtrack and the architect’s voice nearly sent me to sleep ♥️☺️

Amazing job! From the beginning till the last words said. One of the best transformations of tiny apartments ever shown here. 👏🏼

One of the best design you promoted - wonderful and unique. Bravo.

Cute!

So nice! Clever use of colors, while not appearing overly designed.

I really liked the aesthetic of this apartment! It feels more spacious than it is

Absolutely beautiful!!

I'm obsessed! it that glass wall/shower, oh boy! would love to see how the play of lights and colors in the evening... what a beauty!

One of your best videos

Gorgeous space.

It's funny I liked the old apartment too. Seems more cosy. The new one looks good, but feels like a student flat. The light is certainly better.

The layout changes, skylights, storage, and bathroom and kitchen are great. I don’t know that I would choose all white finishes. And I would definitely choose different furniture. The built-in desk is too low for the person sitting there, who has to hunch.

Absolutely stunning! Great use of space. There is an underlying quality to this project that often is missed. The bedroom is a sanctuary. The use of mirrors glass bricks is a key factor. Sometimes ( drenched) colours don't work. Here they do... perfectly. Yes this is an exceptional project and indeed small space Home.

Wow this is fantastico! Love the use of skylights and mirrors making an attic apartment full of light and seemingly spacious. The colours are fun. The light yellow carpentry adds calm. Storage solutions are brilliant. This design is very innovative.

Absolutely stunning.Great job!

lovely

I could happily live there. Very happily. It’s so calming. It would definitely enhance my day-to-day living experience.

Fantastic.

GE-NI-ALE! Merci!!!
