For Douglas, this was an opportunity to develop a small living space that would perfectly fit his needs and lifestyle. Attracted to simple living and a self described monastic lifestyle, he wanted to create a place where he could be a part of the city, yet also retreat from it. He ventured to carry out an architectural experiment and find out what was possible in his own small home.

The result is a micro apartment which is as clever as it is simple. One which utilises the entire space, while remaining open and light. It’s rustic history is celebrated, yet also contrasted with the modern elements. Most importantly, it’s a wonderful home.
Enjoy the full video tour of this very special tiny apartment.

Interviewer: I LOVE THIS PLACE, TEACH ME YOUR WAYS Architect: ᵒᵏ
-
He speaks in the tiniest lowercase possible lol he's so cool and inspiring
-
As an Architect, this is way more pleasing and inspiring to watch than the top end million dollar apartment tours
-
I love how there's a lot of contrast in this video; the bricks and plywood, dark and light tones, and the extrovert host and introvert architect
-
Imagine someone trying to rob him, just standing there being fascinated by the apartment
-
"People are more adaptable than objects" best quote!
-
"I grew up in the suburbs and I always wanted to be close to where the action is, but not so close that I'm affected by it on a daily basis" I resonate with that so much
-
i need this type of calm and collected energy in my life 😭 “people are like water, more adaptable than objects” he ain’t wrong omgggg someone said this is a dissertation or thesis 😩
-
This home suites his spirit. He appears calm and humble same as the space he created. Awesome job.
-
This guy talks in poetry yet understandable.
-
The architect is unintentional ASMR to the max, I just want him to talk at me for hours until I fall asleep at night thinking about weight bearing walls and support beams
-
His ample knowledge of psychology and philosophy and the way he incorporates it into his architectonic designs is just amazing. Also his calmness and eloquence ... he must be swamped with job offers after this video :)
-
"People are like water. People are more adaptable than objects." Nice.
-
This video was going to be titled "World's Loudest and Quietest Men Finally Meet"
-
This young architect has all my admiration. He has a deep sense of awareness of his inner and outside world. He has successfully created a space in his image; it has character, it is functional, and minimalist. Bravo. :-)
-
Could Bryce interview some of this architect's other projects? He has totally captivated me, his design is pragmatic, esthetically brilliant and even spiritual! I am ready to move away from a staircase that doubles up as storage. This is substance!
-
This young architect has such a poetic way of speaking. Love it, and the design, too. :)
-
Ok. I am in love with the architect, how he defines his house and explains the space. His choice of words and metaphors is intriguing and surprising and he has a calm warmth and depth! Absolutely in love.
-
Interviewer gives me dog energy, while the architect is serving pure feline.

9:35 I really like what he said here. Like imagine normally tiny houses ‘prepared’ for having several guests would have identical chairs hidden away and you’d have to move a lot of things around to pull them out. I like how he’s honest like “Yeah the bed stays out most of the time”, cause many tiny houses look really cool and minimalistic but you have to pull the bed in and out every night to have a living room and it doesn’t seem like much when just seeing a video, but I’d imagine it would get tiresome to have to do that every day. So yeah, it’s nice to see a tiny space like this one and his take on “People are more adaptable than things”.
