The publication and RU-vid channel feature homes and apartments designed by architects and designers to inspire a life of simplicity, where less is more, and the impact it can have on our planet.
Curious why the sink is right up one end of the island bench...? doesn't seem that functional. Otherwise love it, and agree that quality apartment/townhouse dwellings as a viable alternative to housing are crucial to combatting the the affordability crisis.
It's good that the estate pushed for Eco development and allowed more varied design. When I was considering building a house in Sydney, the new development required all houses to be as cookie cutter as possible. With all houses looking the same as all the other houses being built around Australia.
A shame what "modern" home design has become. Everything today even the houses themselves are made to be disposable and built with mortar and paper. Designs like the one in the video will be standing 100 years from now. Cardboard home builders sit and wonder how to be efficient, make it last, save on heat and air conditioning, and the best lights..... meanwhile ancient structures in Rome and other parts of the world figured that out hundreds of years ago. Nice design
"The new addition, which measures only 40m2 in area..." That's bigger than my entire home 😂 Loved the video, it's now a beautiful and functional property.
That's really beautiful! I love everything about it, even though I initially had a pretty strong reaction against the concrete interior walls. I can't decide if it's better as-is or with plaster, but if your goal is showing the raw material then you'd rather have as-is
Its a great house, no doubt about that. the spaces it creates are really well done. I ve got doubts about the ceiling though, bc as it is said, they ve got A energy certificate using raw concrete structure for the ceiling, which turns to exchange so much heat due to lack of thermal insulation. Not sure if you solved this by using the mass of concrete to archive thermal inertia, which is really nice, but for warmer climates its a must to open Windows at night in order to disperse all the heat. Good job!
Also, forgot to ask, how are wiring, plummery, and other technical facilities made? Are they imbedded into the concrete? For example the lights in the ceiling
this is such a beautiful design and the garden compliment the studios so well. i do wonder about how practical it is in terms of safety and keeping bugs away.
Looks lovely! Have been appreciating it more since watching @ShoyanJapaneseCarpenter channel. The simplicity of the rooms and the timber is always stunning.
I would take this exact same house but change the white out for a light cream color and it would be perfect. I need some color and maybe a few plants or a few posters everywhere or paintings and it would be all right
Konnichiwa Antonio! Well done! They've used one of the tekniks of japanese architecture, which is Shared Views[3rd technique] In this case, the garden. That blows thru the inside of the house that mostly used wood. I love it!
Perfect little sculptural art pieces. It must be like working (or not) in a work of art. And Sam Cox's garden design looks so uncontrivd but sets them off beautifully.
I would wish for it to be a bit lighter inside and to have a designated office space, but I love the approach of primarily building to live and the temperature regulation using that green roof!
Thank you so much for such an insightful video! I like your ability to share all the important information in a very concise way! I am so glad that I found your channel. 🙂
If I were to buy a plot of undeveloped land what would even be the steps to build something like this? Would I reach out to an architect first or an engineer?
