Issue 2 is all about finding ways to slow down in the city, but don’t go slow in getting your copy! Get your copy now visit https://www.nevertoosmall.com/store Architect, artist and furniture designer Matt Reynolds designed and self built most of the interior of his compact and tranquil seaside apartment, aptly named beâCHâlet. Inspired by caravans and yachts, the design maximises every inch with clever features like a false plywood ceiling for adaptable lighting, hidden skirting board drawers, and multi-functional furniture on wheels for flexibility. Sliding screens and ceiling-mounted curtains transform the living area into a home gym or private space for guests, while an elevated platform bed creates a cosy nook with storage underneath. The result is a thoughtfully crafted home that seamlessly blends efficiency, functionality, and a warm, personal touch.
