When architect Ed Lippmann’s son Mitch—a chef—asked him to redesign his compact 50sqm/538sqft Sydney apartment, he added one condition: make it good enough for Never Too Small. The result is a warm, light-filled home shaped by smart design and timber tones. Located in a former warehouse with soaring 3.6-metre ceilings, the once dark and pokey apartment features expansive custom joinery, a raised mezzanine bedroom a home office–cum–walk-in wardrobe below, and an expansive stainless steel kitchen tailored to Mitch’s needs. With its clever use of volume, ample built-in storage, and hand-picked secondhand furniture, every element in this compact home serves a purpose—offering the generous amenities of a much larger space.
