Hi, welcome to our home, which is also our office, and our playground, and we're
really excited to show you our humble
space. We moved into this 700 square foot (65sqm)
space earlier this year, and upon
stepping in, I think the most common
comment that we get is that it's pretty
empty. But it's definitely by design as
we've been trying to be more conscious
about the stuff that we own.
When conceptualizing, having the space be conducive to living an active, healthy
lifestyle, was kind of a defining feature
of the home. And we only 700 square foot (65sqm)
to work with, we decided to make the
living room a flexible space. On most
days, this is how the living room looks
like, with just a couple of bean bags for
lounging, a bare-bones media rack, a
utility shelf where we house our
everyday carry, and some plants, more
plants, and an open space for us to work
out in. We forgoed the conventional couch and TV combination, instead we use a
portable projector when we are in the
mood for some movies, and this is also where
Glo occasionally relax and listen to some music. When we are
expecting guests, we'll set up our dining
table and chairs. The table has easily
detachable legs, so we can keep it in our
storage when not in use. When it's just
the two of us, we'll have our meals over at
the bar counter instead, which brings us
to our open kitchen. Yes, this is probably the space I spend the most time in, as we
prepare our own meals almost every day.
Our friends at Komorebi
has done a really impressive job with
the design and execution of the kitchen, as it
usually gets the most attention and
praise from our guests. We also have a
peg board system, which is very versatile
and takes up very little space. There's not
much to say about the laundry area, but
here is where we have the habit of
separating our trash and our recyclables.
Moving on to the other rooms, we decided
to use the smaller room for our bedroom as we don't spend a lot of time in here
other than for sleeping. The low oak bed
provides additional storage space, and we
are totally in love with the looks and
functionality of it. Our wardrobe, I think, could
be considered pretty minimalist. I think
it's quite common to have more clothes
than necessary and because we're trying
to be more conscious about what we buy,
limited wardrobe space kind of forces us
to be more mindful about the clothes
that we purchase. Over in the next room is our office. What stands out is probably
that we don't have regular height desks and chairs. Yes, we actually prefer sitting on
the floor instead. For us, this is
basically a variation of the standing
desk. We all know that sitting in one
position for too long isn't good for
our health, and this setup allows us to adopt multiple different positions when
working at our desks. We'll probably make a future video talking more about why we
choose to sit on the floor. Over at the
side we have some storage, this is where
we keep our work related items, like our cameras and lenses. And that just about
concludes this quick tour of a home. Hope you enjoyed the tour if you have any
questions, just leave them in the comment section and we'll do our best to help.
Thanks for watching!
