NEVER TOO SMALL: Contemporary Attic Conversion for Family of Three, Amsterdam 60sqm/645sqft

A small space with high ceilings is such a game changer. The ability to add that extra room, or intense vertical storage or just the spaciousness it adds to a compact floor plan is truly incredible.

What a beautiful apartment. Personally I would add some art to those creamy walls and a rug or two...and a handrail on the stairs :)

The kitchen layout is really unpracticle for someone who cooks though, having to go around the island to take something in the fridge or go to the sink is not super efficient. Same for the nursery away from the parents, no railway to the stairs, but I guess if it works for them it's cool; the appartement is really beautiful and well designed but it lacks a bit of coziness (for my taste) and storage too. It feels overall like a holiday appartment (but a pretty one).

Very nice! However, "cosy" is not the first word that comes to my mind when looking at this very minimalistic living room: No coffee table, no rug, no pictures on the wall...

The space looks nice and clean, if a bit soulless. On one hand, there are a few issues I have with the functionality of the apartment. As many already mentioned, there is little storage space. However, if one truly commits to the minimalist lifestyle, this might not be a problem. Additionally, the kitchen layout with the oven and stove on one side and the sink and fridge on the other is impractical. My biggest concern is the bedroom and loft area. The layout might be fine when the child is a baby or toddler, but once he or she grows to be school age, not having a door on your bedroom will be very uncomfortable for both the parents and the child. On the other hand, I really enjoy what they did with the floating storage unit, it really does make the floor area seem bigger. I also like that they made the ceiling beams a feature instead of hiding them, they add a lot of character to the space. Finally, the wooden floor and accents lend a welcoming warmth to what would otherwise be cold and white feel inside the home.

wow beautiful space and amazing design choices as a mum myself i doubt this to be practical for kids though (stairs without rails, nursery being downstairs and far away from the parents, no bathtub, lots of open storage….)

cozy is not an adjective i would use to describe this place

somehow the home looks much spacious than than it actually is. Looks so cozy to live in

I was looking to buy an apartment and went on a viewing to this one. So cozy! But max for 1 person. For Amsterdam the design is a gem!

It’s giving me bookshop-café vibes. Love it! ❤

Love it. Great balance. The contrast between the wooden, rustic elements and the minimalist, modern furniture makes the space feel cozy, yet modern and elegant.

After watching these videos for some time, it would be interesting to learn the cost of these conversions to compare cost per square meter between countries. And the compromises people are willing to make to live in their desired location.

Such a small fridge for a family of three 😮. I liked the open, airy feeling of the spaces.

This is the Epitome where 'Less is More' ❤Simple and elegant, with a twist in the wooden beams and the bookshelves 📚 Absolutely love it!! 👌

I would love to hear more about the heating/cooling considerations and systems in these videos

They call themselves minimalists so the style and little storage space for everything work for them. I could never COOK but only „reheat“ in that kitchen. Impractical design and even if you go shopping every day there is not enough space for at least some vital kitchen appliances I want. But such a great space and nice wood❤!

The kitchen looks so clean and not like a kitchen at all, i love it 😮❤

I love the simplicity of this house.

I love the upstairs window that opens up "upward" and the holes in the floor or ventilation.

I saw the thumbnail and instantly knew this apartment was situated in the Netherlands. Too funny.
