If you get a kick out of optimizing small apartments, check out the YouTube channel “never too small”. Before you decide to move into a super small, space optimized apartment look around your current place. Is it always super neat and tidy? You need to be making your bed every day and put away your furniture all the time in order to make many of the tiny apartment designs work. https://youtube.com/c/NEVERTOOSMALL

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while thanks! However, what I was ideally looking for was tours of houses/apartments which are heavily optimised interior decoration-wise, but also massive. Sort of like the intersection of the $XX million dollar apartment tours that exist, but instead focused more on the interior design. I enjoy the novelty in watching really expensive houses, but they always feel spar…

I honestly haven’t watched the rest of the channel, but the house tour of Binging with Babish’s home tour seems to fit what your looking for. Since the channel is named something to do with architecture all their tours might focus on the design and not the expense of it all.

San Fran struck me as not very dense when I visited.

it is in fact the second densest large city in the US

You must be taking some weird specifics here. Nothing I can see lists San Fran as second densest.

Very cool engineering. However, it’s sad that this is the direction we are pushed towards, rather than finding ways to live with more space. We have plenty of space.

I just clicked through their estimation tool, Cloud Bed, Sofa Edition (King) → $16,750 Shipping → $340 Installation → $2,213 _______________________________ Your Total Estimate → USD $19,303 (+tax)\* \*Monthly financing available Place a $100 reservation to secure your place in line. Once we've received your reservation our Space Design team will reach out to schedule your home visit. That's an awful lot for a bed. T…

Plus these designs really only work if you have control over your space. You couldn't install this in an apartment you're renting, where you can't e.g. rip out the carpet. If you're able to install this you're probably not living in a space where this would be a benefit.

Looks like their business model is to sell them to the developer, who then presumably passes a markup along to someone who buys a tiny but oh-so-fancy condo with Cloud Bed etc. Cut to Khaby Lame rolling up a futon...

All the so called "small apartment" are medium or large size by Hong Kong Standards.

I like these ideas.

What I think people miss is the "designed storage", for instance in the office setup.

There are lots of places space is carefully planned and efficient.

I think of cars (cupholders, phone chargers) and to a lesser extent RVs (sleeping + clothes storage; kitchen; basement). I'm sure there are other good examples where planned efficient use of space is convenient and makes life lots easier. The wonderful use of all space in cars (cupholders, etc), and RV's

Not really, I meant exactly what I said. It is the second densest large (> 100k) city (city proper, not metro area).

Not that specific

even in that regard it's third after New York City, and Paterson New Jersey.

Sure, still much higher than one might think from walking around. Certainly surprised me

More a testament to the ubiquity of sprawl in the states than anything I think
