Take a tour of former professional dancer and teacher Elizabeth Rose’s innovative stilt house. Sitting pretty above the flood plain on the banks of the River Thames, the timber-clad house, designed by Knox Bhavan, is a lesson in future-proofed architecture that takes cues from its natural surroundings.

What a beautiful woman. The house mirrors her. The fact that she seems so proud of it and her garden is impressive.

A house as beautiful as the owner. I’m in awe

I have watched this video more than once. My initial attraction to this house was its visual design, then i realize the reason i wanted to watch it again was the owner Elizabeth. The house is a complete reflection of her graceful beauty and spirit. Listening to her soothing voice speaking about her home, you come to realize that it is not just a thing, but just as her body where her spirit dwells, so to is her home a dwelling place for her beautiful and peaceful spirit.You have a beautiful existence Elizabeth, thank you for sharing it.

Stunning place. Most people do not consciously realize the impact of the built environment on their well being. Whether it be the space that you live in, the colour and texture of the walls or the amount of natural light in a space. It all affects you one way or the other

Stunning in every sense. I too would live there in a heartbeat. Design, quality, environment and that garden. Hopefully the flooding will not occur again. Oh and the interior design and mid century furniture is impeccable. Thank You for sharing. Appreciated.

Everything about this video is beautiful. Thanking you for helping me learn what I need when designing my own home. Beauty and practicality will be paramount and I will show this video to my architect.

Stunning at every turn. About to build for ourselves and your thinking, the architect’s expression of that, cherishes living and is a lesson for us as we begin.

Beautiful design and beautifully presented. Isn't it strange that typical building methods haven't changed considerably since Roman times and that designing for the site is still considered unique?

Your house is 95% according to my tastes and it's beautiful, but you would be more comfortable with a barrier-free environment for the future. Greetings from Moscow. 🇷🇺

@markhirstwood4190 2 года назад

You grew younger. I love England and know from experience that it's actually mostly sunny, almost all the time, unlike the reputation it has around the world of being grey and rainy. At a glance, your home and garden seemed almost more like homes in say, Australia or New Zealand than what many might expect to see in the South of England. Well done.

@Harry-fk5of 2 года назад

That depends where you live, London has the best weather in the country but if you live in the North like Yorkshire or Manchester it's grey and raining 80% of the time

Beautiful house! FINALLY someone has had the good sense to rebuild a flood damaged house with FUTURE FLOODING in mind!! And a bonus for me is that this house is in the UK, so we don't have to listen to an AUSTRALIAN architect constantly harping on about the 'MATERIALITY' Honestly, if I hear one more Aussie Architect say the word 'materiality' I'm going to SCREEEEEAAM!! But yeah, This is a really beautiful house.

She is so right building a home that functions for you for when you get older I see so many People build homes with so much stairs so much luxury And amenity's That takes a lot of time to clean I'm gonna be texting on your body when you get over there and they are all All the couples and building homes that's not Architecturally sustainable based on their needs Of future leads

A house bolted to the ground, a few feet above a nearby river... literally the least flood-proof home one could build.

Good gravy! Some of the commentary by the owners of the houses in these videos are so pretentious when they talk. She felt like she was accepted by the place? She feels like belongs there? UGH!!!! It's a nice house and it's yours. That's all!

I felt the same way with all this "fluff" she said. I can imagine she's rich with a lot of time to "reflect" while the other side of the spectrum people just trying to save a deposit to get "on to the ladder". Just wanted to be "accepted" by the bank for their mortgage approval...

Does she have to dust/vacuum/clean underneath the house and does the dog accept the being off the ground? My dog cannot cross bridges because she knows there's space underneath :)

Why would she need to clean underneath the house? Do people vacuum their outdoor spaces? Interesting about the dog though.

@c.t5136 2 года назад

So many people using wood in their homes, thinking it stylish and chic and just not getting climate change and the absolute need for trees. They are not sustainable. They can be regenerated but that doesn;t hit the mark. that is not good enough. The Thames is flooding because most of the plants and trees have been removed from about and around it. The irony, if not so painful, is poetic. I hope she has a boat!

People generally don't get comfortable like this from lives of idleness. She's enjoying a nice life at that age, not simply being idle. Your comment sounds envious.
