saw this apartment online & didn’t wait to design it lol

Hi sweet people! Today I'm exposing myself with how obsessive I can be over home listings lol but I think I'm not alone 🌟

First off - I'm so sad to say that we didn't get this apartment that we absolutely loved!! I was really really hoping we would win the application lottery but unfortunately we did not 🥲

I was so mentally there that I basically finished designing the entire interior in my head lol so I figured why not at the very least get some content out of it and share my whole thought process with you guys. If you're anything like me and get major crushes on apartments then maybe this will be a fun watch.

We're still touring tons and tons of apartments so hopefully the perfect one comes along!!

love you all sm thank you for all the support!

to be clear: every time I move, I make an exact replica of the apartment i'm moving into with as close precision as possible on sims 4. Noah you are not alone in being a weirdo,

This concept of a grid dictated by architectural features is blowing my mind. I would love for you to share more of these, maybe with more quirky or complicated floor plans.

[syncopate.]

The grid/floorplan is a stroke of genius!!! SUPER helpful for someone like myself with poor spatial perception, who still wants a functional and harmonious space.

Noah- you've got something here! You explain design in a manner that a lay person can understand but inspires them (me) to want to learn more about the practice/art. As a visual learner, I appreciate these types of videos. Thank you!

i watch every interior design content on youtube for 10 years and this is the first channel that is not garbage

oh and by not garbage i mean it is the best ever!

[paigenelson]

Found my corner of the internet! Planning spaces based on the floor plan, then mocking up my furniture with exact dimensions in rhino and then rendering it all in photoshop…glad I’m not alone 🥰

[foxwilliamulder]

I would love to hear about your education background and what your degree entailed/the things you learned/what you enjoyed about school!

[mathildemaijer]

I love the idea of the grid and I immediately tried to analyse my apartment that way. One remark: plants need natural light. They want to thrive near a window, they are not meant to lighten up a dark space.

I absolutely get huge crushes on homes! I would be mourning this one too. One of my favourite activities to do is look up apartment listings in my area (I will be looking later this year for real), get the floor plans, and then mock up space plans for them. Also, adore the photoshopped view of it, it's so great to be able to see your vision come to life. It may be too much for some people, but I think everyone watching your channel are the kinds of people who want to see that level of detail, vision and planning.

After saying it was controversial among viewers, i was concerned for a moment he was starting the video without a little drink, but then he brings up the cutest cup haha

[thomasgeppi]

Despite the fact that I often hold the same values as you when it comes to implementing rules that uphold the integrity of the space/design, I don't always have the words clearly defined in my head until I hear you say them. "Light soup", "color change should be defined by an architectural change", "texture change can be more impactful than stark contrast" and many more. I also learn a lot about what I like by watching your videos and there hasn't been a single one I walked away from that didn't inspire me. The way that you meshed all the window treatments together is so brilliant and something that might've taken me 100 years to get to on my own, but thanks to you, now its in my tool belt! Love your videos Noah!

[britaszymanski]

That is such a CUTE little mug at the beginning! Look at that little guy

[LeMondedeCarla]

This is honestly the best interior design video I have ever seen.
Thanks a lot for all your hard work, I’m learning so much !

I think no one would object to more of these videos... But understand it takes a considerable amount of time to prepare (and heart for the motivation), but it was so informative. Finding the PSD collages immediately help me understand the vibe as opposed to just a mood board. Sometimes the moodboards can feel abstract and a bit unattainable.

I am this exact level of neurotic so I feel very seen

[ThistleFrost]

Your way of working with the floorplan was so eye-opening for me! I literally immediately did the same thing for my place and then moved the furniture, and now everything is feeling much more cohesive. I hope you keep making videos -- your approach is so so helpful for me!

[kerink]

this video was so beyond helpful. i moved into my apartment about a year ago and i'm still designing it, i've been feeling restless and dissatisfied and i couldn't identify why. the way you described taking walkways and architecture into consideration made so much click for me! i had been doing it too but not in this bottom up way you do it, and i hadn't realized what a massive difference it would make. i have my apartment set up in the sims, and after watching this i completely started from scratch focusing on your method, and i cant overstate how much even the smallest changes impacted the space. it really is only slight differences, but it feels more even, more clean, more intentional. i feel way more confident about my design and was easily able to identify the areas that were deficient, which was something that's been driving me insane for months. thank you so much 💕

this video is incredibly helpful for planning a space - definitely saving this for my next move !

[joannestimson]

So hard when you get excited about a place to miss out. Thanks for turning it into something positive. This was so informative. Loved it!

[chelseascott]

You are sooo not alone! 1000% agree. I obsess over planning my imagined space like a little psycho every time I move, based on the listing photos and plan (if provided). Love the advice of using a grid, I have never done this and will definitely try next time. I do a similar thing and follow feng shui principles to consider the flow of energy between transitional elements (doorways, corridors, windows etc). It really helps to reduce an undercurrent of anxiety from feeling like you are exposed to traffic flow throughout the house. I love your videos and style of content creation ❤ So sorry you didn't get the apartment. Don't worry, another one will come, and with it, another design opportunity xo
