🚨 LAST CHANCE 🚨 to subscribe to the NTS Sub Club and get Issue 3 delivered to your door with FREE worldwide shipping—plus enjoy 10% off all our books and publications: https://www.nevertoosmall.com/magazine When architect Ruchanan Patarapanich set out to redesign this 54sqm/581sqft Bangkok apartment, for his longtime friend Promchan Chanratanapreeda, the goal wasn’t just to make it feel bigger—it was to make it feel like home. Located in the relaxed, lively Ari neighbourhood in Bangkok, the former one-bedroom layout was stripped back and reimagined as a single, flowing space shaped by flexibility, calm, and creative thinking. Soft, ceiling-mounted curtains replace solid walls, defining zones for sleeping, dressing, and lounging—without sacrificing light or openness. A plywood kitchen with portable appliances, a flexible dining area, and cleverly integrated storage keep the home adaptable and efficient, while a raised platform at the back of the apartment doubles as a space for rest and movement, with a foldable tatami mattress tucked away by day. 00:00-00:51 Introduction 00:51-01:20 Location 01:20-03:36 Floor Plan 03:36-04:09 Entrance 04:09-04:45 Kitchen 04:45-05:07 Dining Area 05:07-06:38 Living Area 06:38-07:59 Sleeping Area 07:59-08:14 Balcony 08:14-09:10 Bathroom 09:10-10:25 Conclusion #smallapartment #architecture #interiordesign Ep 218 Project Name: MM33 Architect: https://buno.team/ Produced by New Mac Video Agency Creator: Colin Chee Director: Nam Tram Producer: Lindsay Barnard Cinematographer & Editor: Sebastian Tibbs Music: Artlist.io Chili Crisp by Aves Winter by Magiksolo Velvet Sky by Ariel Shalom Share you projects with us- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/submissions Subscribe to our newsletter- https://www.nevertoosmall.com/subscribe Check out our store- https://www.nts-store.com Website- https://www.nevertoosmall.com Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/nvtsmall Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/nvtsmall
