Architect Barbara Weiss likes to do things a little differently. Indeed, the last time we caught up with her was at her upside-down house: a converted pub in Westminster, central London, where she lives on the secluded top floors and sleeps on the lower floors (yes, it’s as brilliant as it sounds). This time, she’s giving us a tour of her latest self-designed home, which she’s aptly titled the inside-out house.

British cottages have thick walls and small windows because most of the year the weather is cold and they were built when there was no central heating.

@SpiralMystic 2 года назад

Yes. Houses this roomy cost a small fortune to heat.

I really appreciate what i see in her creation. Modern and clear but not cold, nice space and flow. Let the outside mix with the inside is a breath. Of course these houses are large and expensive, but the architectural concept would make sense even for smaller homes. I did not know Barbara Weiss but her work is interesting and coherent.

@elgee6202 2 года назад

That's an extraordinarily large dwelling to have not simply as a main home, but as a second home - an odd choice for an ageing couple. Aside from that, I can't help but think practically about such things - imagine all the dusting and cleaning to do in a place like that!

I live in an old cottage. As much as I love yours, it's a prison in as much as I would be a prisoner there keeping it clean. In my cottage, small windows, a bit of dust and the odd spider are part of its charm.

@milkshake3350 2 года назад

I agree. I also love my old cottage which has not been tampered with too much other than to bring it gentley into the 21st C. I totally disagree with Barbara's comment that we in the UK have a bad relationship with the inside/outside of our homes. We have a totally different climate to her native home and have adapted our houses to suit. Our cottages, gardens and history are envied round the world, which I for one are proud of.

Actually I think given they were already joined and redesigned it made it perfectly ok. I wish they had done a full walk through and lay out so you could see how things are allocated.

@jospeakman7943 2 года назад

I agree. If they wanted large, open and light-filled interiors why buy a charming cottage and add on a large extension? I imagine the cottage is redundant as a living space and they wanted the views.

@CattyMcMeow 2 года назад

Especially with that generic, modern, luxe look. Those cottages have so much character, but they've been stripped bare. Hurts to see imo.

@alessandrabellucci9534 2 года назад

Stunning, just like the upside down house in London. In her company profile I read "The architecture of BWA is simple, elegant and timeless. It belies the effort that has gone into its making, and the complexities of the processes by which it is designed and built: it looks as if was always meant to be there. It belongs." Indeed.

@4ArcticFox 2 года назад

Thick walls and small windows keep the house cool in summer and warm in winter.

@paulajf4205 2 года назад

Are there a lot of adult kids and grandkids involved with going to the country house? Cause that house seems gigantic. Also, I got no sense of the original house interior to compare. All I saw was sleek and modern. Is that how both look inside now?

@milkshake3350 2 года назад

@PaulaJF Yes, probably, it definitely needs those houseplants to soften the edges a little. I'm afraid to me the extension looks like a modern council building where as the cottages are beautiful! It's more than likely a bit of an advert to showcase her architectural style/skill. Each to their own but not for me.

@OliviaChoong 2 года назад

She mentioned in the interview that it wasn't functional, I wonder what that meant, maybe she didn't feel that the layout was practical after living in it for a while. She might also be working from home and needed extra space, perhaps she didn't wish to alter the cottages much, therefore an extension. Also she said that the windows were too small, and perhaps she is one who likes open space. They did show a small sitting area and I'm not sure if that's from the new wing or the old house. This type of modern home seems to be her style, I felt that when I looked up her architecture practice. I do like the spaciousness of the new wing and what a beautiful garden.

It's all nice if you're really rich and can live in a big house in a gorgeous, fairy-tale-gardened hunk of land in the countryside... Do that with a normally waged person's home in the city and you'd be getting spied on and robbed constantly with close views of the road, your neighbours, an alleyway and some over-spilling bins wafting their aroma in every morning.

Beautifully executed, though out of touch. As a 47 yr old professional interior architect in c@n@d@, I seem not to be able to afford my own home. I do not live like my clients do. Self employed is limited for financing, and thus not wanting to live in a vertical prison box I’m going to have to leave this nation where the Country side is as expensive as the city. The gouging, greed and corruption have infiltrated every aspect of design and architecture here. Not to be negative, not my intent, just the reality that living off credit and financing is no better way forward. I dream of affordable fair and equitable beautiful housing for all.
