3 Interior Designers Transform The Same Backyard | Space Savers | Architectural Digest 

What specifically do you hate as a landscape architect? Just so we understand your perspective better. Edited to correct do to so

@@idancealways4ever440 I would like to know too. I personally feel that a garden needs plants. Something for humans to connect with nature. Where you can get inspired by life and growth. None of these designs make that happen. Just more artificial living and zero grounding.

As an architect i agree with you ahahaha

⁠@@idancealways4ever440i am not an architect, i am a student though, so i am going to list what i thought was horrible. 1. ALL of these spaces seem like interior, not an outside space, they feel like enclosed rooms and they removed all the greenery. 2. Seating spaces are not protected or the materials of the couches are not water-resistant, theres no way in real life someone would leave a white couch in their garden without protection, and then move it in every time it rains, illogical. 3. The space is not big, and yet, everything feels like an exhibition instead of making use of the little space that is there. Idk the name but the girl who made the shallow pool (just for aesthetic purposes) instead of just making a regular pool to use. Its not like you have 500m yard and you have space for pools and shallow water fountains. Most of the stuff just feels like an advertisement honestly, “i am using this wallpaper by xx” or “this sculpture by xy” 4. The plan on paper is HORRIBLE. Even first year students dont make such incorrect plans. Do all interiors designers make plans like those, or is it just in america? There could be a lot of other stuff in there that could throw me off but i wont bother anymore. I wouldn’t let any of these ppl design my house ever, including all the others who have been on this channel, not that i would need to.

@@user-fm5fo3wd9p Great response. I honestly just wanted to know what your thoughts were. Thanks for sharing. 😊

😂

i would game end myself if i was living in Courtney's place.

lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not the drug-induced feverdream! I can't stop laughing because that's exactly what the want to say

The readddddddd

I love this series and this outdoor area is next level!

I second you

As a landscapescape architect myself I was thinking the same ☺️

YES

I'd like to see their costings. OR, if they all had the same budget, however large or small.

150%

Yep. Their designs were 👎

All of these designs are highly impractical.

Thank you! Yes! As an architect student, I felt really annoyed watching this video. Architecture is not about ornamentation, the decisions we make must be logical, practical and problem-solving, based on historical, spacial, anthropological and geographical studies.

i thought i am the only one who was questioning the whole time

Agreed 💯.

Just say you have 💩 taste

Sasha’s was ….. passable

So true !

I liked elements in two of the designs, but none of them wholly. The arched doors were nice and the white roses on a trellis were nice, but those sculptures in the one with the arched doors, no thanks. And the one with the roses was almost too bland though I did like her seating better. That third one…..yikes. It hurts my eyes.

All three were amazing! What didn't you like about it?

Agree! I found they're ideas very cool but too much crowded... and sometimes the space not very well organized. Some details are very coll though!

The designers are encouraged to design without limitation. The end result does't have to be livable or achievable, per se.

@@vasilikonstan and we can definitely see that they aren't...lol

@@starveartist that was the point of the exercise. its rly no fun allowed with yall

Yeah I thought their ideas were horrible! I want actual grass in my backyard, thought that was the point tbh... lol

totally agree---replace the out of place roses with tropical living walls and her design would still be dramatic but realistic.

Sasha’s was my favorite

Beckys was my favourite up until the pool podiums and water wall thing were added. So I agree with you about Sasha's being the favourite (except for the flowers on the walls.)

⁠@@fredfredburger5150 agree. I disliked the pool podiums and water fountain panel. Becky’s design was great untill she added those and also sculptures, maybe one sculpture would have been fine. Sasha’s design is nice but white roses on the walls were a little accessive, yes.

@@fredfredburger5150the water wall was f fun and cool to me … the “pet” structure was when I didn’t like it anymore, it feel impractical and dangerous to swim in

Legit.. everyone trying to out crazy the other 😂

Yes, they did! Courtney’s was like a fever dream 😂😂

I was thinking it would be hella hot in summer 🥵🥶

Lol yes as soon as she put down the tile I was like oh so she’s making an oven.

I was thinking “where does the water go when raining”? And after that though, it was really difficult for me to focus on the creative aspects when this practicality was forgotten 😅

Agreed! Didn’t she say this was like a NY backyard? No one in NY wants a water feature in their backyard unless they can pay someone to clean/maintain it.

😂😂😂

😂

Being “boring” is awesome and relaxing.

@@torilan2672 🎯🤣

The beauty of having neighbors is everyone can express their styles differently. Brings diversity into a neighborhood without feeling forced. You’re not boring…

that's what I've been telling myself the entire video. It looks kinda dull. it was nice adding those plants at the end but it needs a bit more color or texture/pattern..

@@ohnana95 Totally agree.

Personally think it’s far too big for the garden yet still not big enough to be practical as a swimming pool. There is no space to put any furniture on the ground floor and even the pillows are impractical to get around

Between the spiral stairs and big pool. Im not invited anyone over For Bubble Study.

and glass bricks on the balcony flooring. "whoops, just knocked myself out 'cause I didn't realize it rained last night and I slipped. and the guests below can see up my skirt. fun!!"

@@yvonnewachowicz2931😂

I agree. It was the only design I loved, but it would need some adjustments to make it practical. No bases in the pool, more light for inside the pool, and some texture and staining for the glass to be safer and more private. Maybe add a pop of color, maybe a matching red to the fountain? Other than that, I would love me some sculptures and maybe change the deck sitting area up there, to the first floor, and have some cushy and more comfortable and loungy sitting area, like a "coffee table" with some comfortable couches or something, cause some privacy up there would be really nice instead of "dinner" when the backyard is GORGEOUS and you could sit up there drinking some wine by yourself or with your partner!

I was thinking, kids would love Courtney’s design 😂

Hello Sasha!!

yes this is what I'm thinking hahaha

NAH, happy to see different interior designers being showcased

Love Darren down, but I'm also happy to see other designers showcased!

@@GOODdeels agree!

​@@busebozbas189599

🤣🤣🤣😂😂

I wasn't liking Courtney's when she cut the deck but actually liked it in the end. Always love it when designs are colourful and whimsical.

same here. I hate white.... and I would feel like everyone else would have the same kind of backyard

I feel the same way!

I do! And it will cost a tiny fraction of what was wasted away here :)

I didn’t see a whole lot of nature in any of these actually.

TL;DR Who is Sasha as a designer? What is her unique perspective?

I feel like I got more of her vibe in the kitchen video with the whimsical disco-esque moments but this seems to have lost its flair. It was extremely well done but I do think she may have thought too much about others and not enough about herself.

I was thinking the exact same thing! I was so excited to see her aesthetic come through but doesn’t seem like it has so far yet on this series.

I noticed this as well. A little confusing

All three designs are a huge NO!

no

Nope, they all did TERRIBLE jobs lmao it was way more fun, inviting and "backyard-y" before they touched it. Getting rid of the grass? These folks made it way way worse

Not at all honestly LOL

So is it really pool? Or just a giant water feature for you to pit your feet into?

Girl don't run too fast, you might slip on that tile😂

Added entertainment value for those backyard cookouts :)

Couldn't agree more! Becky's design was complete nonsense 😂 who has a small backyard and then makes a pool the size of it, then makes it impossible to swim in??? Then as if that wasn't already a big enough center of attention, also add a humongous water feature on the wall - like where are we supposed to look? No focus point, just loads of features that scream at you.

They made me cringe A LOT!
