Spotting Charlie Luxton’s home when approaching it from the street is no easy feat. But, as the architect - whose namesake practice specialises in sustainable, site-specific projects - explains, that was all part of the plan. “The star of the show is the landscape,” he says, explaining his decision to “tuck” his house into a gently sloping hillside. We agree - the lush surroundings are lovely - but we think the design of the house is rather remarkable too. Watch our film now to find out why.

"This is a living home." (5:56) What I love about this property is the blend of design and livability. So many "high-design" homes feel like no one is actually living in them. They tend to be cold. This was warm and purposeful. Love it.

@catherinelange5109 11 месяцев назад

What a great video. Love their approach - no pretentious BS. Beautiful and practical home - a great combination.

@johnkellett7797 10 месяцев назад

The pretentious BS is referring to him as an architect. There is no, it would appear, mention of Charlie on the ARB register. He is not therefore an architect. It’s that simple. Until he registers if Charlie called himself an architect it would be a criminal offence :-)

@FilthyFloor 10 месяцев назад

Thanks John Kellett. Where I am from, architect is not a (what we call) "protected title". Although you can be statelice sed.

@johnkellett7797 10 месяцев назад

@@FilthyFloor, That might be true but the building and The Modern House are British :-) In fact in most 'English' speaking nations only qualified architects are allowed in most cases to carry out that function giving you the customer far more protection. Here in the UK only architects are qualified as architects but anyone, even those without any relevant qualifications are allowed to design buildings. Charlie is not a bad architectural designer (and therefore legally able the design buildings) but unless he gets off his arse and qualifies he can never be, or refer to himself as, an architect :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed this house. I love how Kate's head just sits perfectly above the shelf as she walks across the hallway...........but really - it's a truly beautiful home. I can see how it can breathe and grow with a family. Practical and elegant. The windows are perfectly unfussy. I love the wild flower meadow and the strawberries on the roof.

Absolutely beautiful. Genuine questions that I bet are on many viewers' minds: 1. Where is this? 2. How much land do they own? That open field out to the office looks infinitely expansive 3. How much did it cost to buy land and build the home? 4. How were they able to afford it all?!?!? Incredible!

@directresolution 10 месяцев назад

@@johnkellett7797 You seem very angry about this and if he has said he is an Architect himself then he shouldn't but he hasn't here so complain to Modern House and I'm sure they'll correct it. However there are plenty of none doctors that I would take advice from over doctors (I had to correct a doctor a few years ago as they were going to prescribe something that could have made me go deaf!) and there are lots of builder that I would take advice from over architects. I wouldn't use such dismissive language towards someone (couldn't be arsed) who was in all likelihood doing better than myself. On big commercial projects I would almost certainly want an architect but for single residential I would just be looking at past results (long term results). Experience nearly always beats education, obviously experience+education is best but education is often not formalised qualification.
