We hope you enjoyed the captivating journey through Casa Piva, a true labour of love and architectural masterpiece by Andrew Piva, Project Architect and Director at B.E. Architecture! The way this home slowly unfolds its unique spaces and experiences is truly something to behold, and it’s all thanks to the thoughtful use of Tuscan Oak.

Beautiful home. Quiet and peaceful. I love the honey-coloured oak throughout. It has a mid-century fell to it but then takes off into a simplified version of it. Just beautiful!
This kind of incredible home seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living, fostering natural light and a sense of tranquility. It's so peaceful in any corner. 🥰🥰
This is one of my favorites covered by Local Project. The soft light and shadows that play over the different spaces is so soothing. I appreciate how the design to create privacy within the site context also gives it a peaceful and delightful introspective experience.
The first thing I noticed was the ingenious way light was brought into the house! I didn't notice any windows on the exterior surfaces, only in the inner court yard,and yet the house has an adequate amount of interior light. You might want to market this design to security conscious clients.
Finally an Australian architect that speaks normally not like 99% of the other architects showcased on this channel who speak in an endless series of "architectural cliches".
You can tell this home is created by an arcitect without the involvement of a landscape architect 😃 house looks nice, but for me there should be much more vegetation 🙂
It looks nice now, but one day those little trees will get bigger. They will have extensive root systems. Those roots might start to lift the foundation because the trees were planted RIGHT next to the house.
Wow.....very nice indeed...such discipline in the follow through... from the arch/build...its the Architects own home phenomina......no 'pinterest' image to muddy the water Reply

Hello, I got concerns with the video, the sound seems pretty low, despite my max volume or is it just me. I hope the volume would be enhance and fix. Thanks.
It is indeed a well designed house, no doubt about it: impeccable, clinical minimalist style with attention to minute details similar to John Pawson (check even the way he stacked up his white books in perfect, right angle). It is a singular house for a singular person or people (I wonder if children are allowed). I thoroughly enjoy watching architecture design videos but quite often I ask if it is "embarrassing" to show the reality of how the end users make use and appropriate the space differently from what was envisioned by the architect. I mean, for this particular project it is fully comprehensible since both the end user and the designer are the same but there are a lot of other projects that I have noticed that prior to filming or photographing the interior has been staged and the end users have disappeared.
I usually enjoy houses you show us. But if you want to really be genuine, stop using all those grey/beige filters. Yes, it is nicer with filters, but we want to see a real stuff.
This building is wholly geometric, nothing soft, too much stone, even the tiles look the same. Looks uncomfortable and the courtyards are boring. Hardly any personality 😐
I'm not a fan. For me, it comes across as impersonal, unfriendly, devoid of emotion & uninterested. I hate windows I can't see out of, it makes me feel claustrophobic. The courtyward needs tonnes more greenery. The interior feels totally manafactured & absent of character. It feels aloof & comtemptuous toward any joy & warmth.
