ARCHITECT REDESIGNS - The World's Smallest Kitchen - 39sqft/3.6sqm

What do you guys think of this concept!? I think the optional quartz countertop and mirrors shown would definintely push this over budget and I noticed that the 90mm smaller pinch point between the sink and the open door is less than ideal with the 600mm deep cabinets shown. I imagine that any improvement to an existing condition is welcomed by a local building authority, but in reality you would definitely want to consult an approved inspector to see if this is safe and acceptable and check if the door can be removed to create a bit more space. Making a bigger kitchen by stealing some space from the bedroom probably makes the most sense, but there was a lot to be discovered with this concept by seeing how much you can fit in the tiniest of spaces. Hope you all enjoyed it!

My first impression of how to make the kitchen better was to get rid of the door completely.

I would love to see some reactions of the people you've created these redesigns for. Have they actually implemented your suggestions?

That tiny sink would seem, to me, be a source of constant frustration to anyone who enjoys cooking.

Wow Daniel! I can't believe that's my kitchen, it looks so different! Thank you so much for taking it on, I was worried it may be too small for even your magic, but you proved me wrong! Also, I'd thought about the mirror idea before, and my dad thought I was crazy, but you've shown it makes sense!

Keep the full size sink, please! I've lived in many small spaces and trying to use those tiny sinks is super frustrating.

Nice video. The only point: the maintenance of mirrors in the kitchen is a nightmare. Even a soup can fog them with fat and humidity. No steaks in this kitchen for sure.

▪️Design idea: Switch the oven and cooktop with the sink and dishwasher. By having the faucet closer to the fridge the faucet doesn't break up the counter space. Which would make the counter feel just a little longer, especially if the cook top can be purchased in a white or silver color. ▪️Also, having the oven away from the freezer means the oven will not be competing over temperature with the freezer when in use. ▪️Also, have to faucet come out of the wall instead of the counter. This will allow more counter space, especially when the sink is cover by the wood insert you mentioned. Great overall design. I'll be following for more videos.

If he does a lot of cooking, that mirrored wall is going to be a beast to keep clean. Glass can be a grease magnet.

Looks great! But the smaller sink is a huge no from me. I once had a sink of that size and they're a pain to use!

I would do the narrow mutiple shelving as you suggested but adding sliding doors with frosted acrylic panels that you could back light... adds tons of pantry and small appliance storage.

I'd get rid of the kitchen door and straighten the counter and end cabinet (or swing the door out). The mirror is a great way to bounce light but if you aren't careful you double the amount of stuff the mirror reflects on the shelf i.e. 2 kettles, 2 toasters etc. And if you aren't a clean freak the mirror in a kitchen can get dirty fast especially one that might sit behind garbage/recycling bins. Overall I really like the thoughtful design.

It's so satisfying to watch small places turned into something really special. Keep them coming!

Where’s the storage? A lot of cabinets have been lost and not replaced from less units, cupboards being used as draining board, replacing cupboards with inbuilt freezer etc. Normally love your designs but would question whether this is practical.

the draining shelves is a new idea to me I love it !

These videos are soo good mate. Wish there was a lot more. Keep up the good work!

loved the design tho personally i would omit the dishwasher and definitely go for the bigger sink

If you get rid of the door, there will be more space for the counter. The wall behind the door can have mirrors and the recessed area can then have more shelving.

Love this series! The clean minimalist design makes my heart sing. The only thing nigling about this one is the kitchen door. Take the damn thing off. With such a beautiful kitchen to look at, the door is now redundant and is taking up valuable space.

Ikea better sponsor this guy man
