NEVER TOO SMALL: Calm and Narrow Minimalist Apartment, Buenos Aires - 30sqm/323sqft

Inspired by modern Japanese apartment design, architect Jesús Huarte completely reinvented this 30 square metre Buenos Aires apartment located in the central neighbourhood of Recoleta. Originally lacking natural light due to its narrow and deep floorplan, the addition of new windows, and a bright palette dramatically brightened the home. Redividing the space using glass walls made more of the space usable, splitting it into new kitchen, living and sleeping zones that were previously all one space. Added closed storage extends from the entryway into the kitchen creating a sense of calm by concealing much of the home's clutter. Light green marble in the bathroom and kitchen, alongside touches of colourful paint accent the white palette throughout; and alongside an indoor swing add a sense of playfulness to the home.

The swing is a fun touch. However, it feels like a waste of a light-filled balcony and livability with the bedroom in the prime position. I would move the bedroom to the kitchen space, the kitchen to the dining room and then utilized the space near the balcony as the living area with a walk out eating area on the balcony.

I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete youtube.com/post/UgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5… plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!

Personally, I would put the bedroom in the back, furthest from the light source. It is a sleeping space. And I would put spaces for daily, communal living by the balcony. I do like the concept of 'making-do' with the conditions you are given. And I like the integrated storage. I think the walls between each space make no sense and consume space. And that swing is playful...but I'd just find it in the way.

The new (external) windows added beautiful natural light. You are very lucky to be able to change external building fixtures. I don't think the metal-glass wall was needed between kitchen & dining. I also agree with flipping the floorplan to bathroom, bedroom, kitchen & dining, balcony. But maybe plumbing was an issue. My favourite was the bathroom.

I find the preferences of the client interesting. If this had been my apartment, I would have requested an enclosed bedroom where the kitchen is located and have the rest of the space be a combination kitchen-dining-living space. You don't need lots of light in a bedroom, assuming you only use it to sleep, and the balcony feels wasted when it's off of the bedroom.

Architect and owner did a good job on this appartment, it looks really light and inviting. It's courageous to say "I don't need a sofa", since everybody else does - and legit.

I'm torn on this one. On the one hand I'm impressed with how much storage and how many features (e.g., a washer dryer & what looks like a bathtub) the architect packed into just over 300 sf. On the other hand, I'm not crazy about glass in between kitchen and dining room; I'd rather have that be open to encourage interaction with folks at the table. And I need a sofa. But, kudos for taking a very dark space and making it bright and airy. And, the trifold mattress is a genius solution for guests. I could live here.

I like how the glass panelled walls create a sense of separation between the different areas of the flat whilst not blocking out light to any of the rooms and making it feel like a continuous space. It combines the best features of open plan whilst allowing the privacy of a closed wall plan. And I absolutely love the swing!

This is a house with a simplistic personality. It's interesting to see how people like to design and live in their homes. It shows many personalities and city situations

I love this apartment and I also love that the bedroom gets the prime location next to the balcony. My bedroom is my favorite place to be, and to me there’s something whimsical and dreamy about the balcony doors right there.

I feel the wall between kitchen and dining area was unnecessary. Despite that, great idea to use the glass separation to let the light in!

This design works well considering the constraints and the client brief - however different is may seem from average studio apartments. walls help constrain smells, and they do say the artist uses scents in her work. Plus, not everyone wants a dark bedroom. I need morning light to get me up and sitting in bed with coffee and open balcony doors sounds like heaven.

I hate dark bedrooms (love waking up with the morning light) so this was such a lovely design to me! And the balcony right off the bedroom facing the leafy, secluded exterior is so nice - a perfect spot to drink tea, read, and let your thoughts drift as you listen to the lulling drone of the air conditioning and insects outside...

Another striking design! I'm always glad to see alternatives to open plan in small spaces. Even with only two people in a household, some "escape" space is welcome. That said I think the comments about local cafe culture are helpful. This really is designed to be a private space, so the emphasis on a lovely bedroom with balcony, luxurious bath, and minimal "living" (entertaining) space makes sense. Lots to think about here with respect to our accepted priorities for design. Thank you!

I’m sorry to see the place is divided into cramped spaces.

A swing in the middle of a 30sqm apartment... That's a bold strategy cotton. Ignoring that though, what I can't figure out is what is the point of the window wall seperating the kitchen and living room? Seperating the bedroom at the back sure, that makes sense, but all the kitchen wall seems to do is make both the living room and kitchen feel smaller. Cute bathroom though and I liked the little feature plants in each of the side windows.

Very nice renovation, and it's clearly well suited with client's needs, which is most important thing.
