The house, the setting with those views, the stone exterior coupled with that interior design and colour palette, its all perfection!

Love the simplicity! No extravagances, just a house that fits the scenery

This is channel is really awesome! Look at the variety of architecture they show - modern luxury homes, modern extensions to heritage homes, tiny bungalows and treehouses, or a modern take on a farmhouse like this one. Gorgeous house! I love how it's contemporary but not trendy. No raw concrete here but timber and stone looks phenomenal and compliment the landscape so well!

This has to be one of my favourites, every room was really beautiful, and all that sunlight streaming in, must be lovley to live in.

Certainly one of the most beautiful houses i have seen! It has so much character and warmth.

Such a visually striking home. I love the brick facade because it just provides a sense of comfort. Truly a beautiful home. Love it!

Beautiful. Regionalism is the key to subltle and timeless architecture. Well Done

this house is probably the closest design to my dream house, the stone walls are gorgeous.

This house is so beautiful It might be the most coziest , minimalist and beautiful house I’ve ever seen The building was designed for perfection Plus the bunk room upstairs and the kitchen 😭the house is really timeless

It feels warm. I like the interplay between light and dark- not many architects use that tool because it’s risky.

I'm so indulged with your projects and videos

This is the best house I have seen on this channel.

Beautiful contemporary rich tones throughout the home! So gorgeous.

Absolutely beautiful - I would not change a thing. ❤

Unreal. Absolutely stunning house, maybe my favorite that you've feaured.

Sanctuary is the right word for it - finally, a modern house that doesn't feel sterile and cool but cosy and sheltered without being cluttered. Love it!

Beautiful, hardy and cozy. Looks perfect, great job!

I'm in loooove with this design and its focus on the elements within nature. I am so drawn now to move to NZ and have this home as mine. Quality and Genius in this abode, congratulations for inspiring me to aspire to live in something like you have created. 😍💪🙏💥💫

What an incredible house - well done

This has to be one of my favourites. 💛

This would absolutely be my dream home.

I’m getting a bit of Texan cabin (sans moose heads) meets alpine ski lodge vibes but those views are fantastic.

FAVORITE BY FAR!

Incredible.

Great job, they created an amazing home.

Absolutely stunning in every way Great taste and attention to detail. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

It’s beautiful!

Yes to the stone work

Beatiful. I am mesmerized

Me encanta la calidez de esta casa. Es hermosa, elegante sin ser pretenciosa y los materiales.

Such a perfect dream house. I love it

Bravo! Well done.

Gorgeous modern ranch almost stone barn home!!! Clean, open and airy! Natural colors and textures. Absolutely my kind of taste. I probably would not have so much timber and wood; that’s just me. But overall gorgeous home and surroundings.

Stunning

STUNNING

wow that’s stunning

Amazing

its like having modern house in Rohan

Speechless.... 👏

This place is a dream

We need more stone houses

This is beyond beautiful! Well done!

Wow, breathtaking house , love this , it’s perfect .

Such a gorgeous interior

WOW

Sublime!

Beautiful house and amazing views! Imagine sitting/lying in the window seat reading a book

The exterior materials are really successful in this one. I question the height of the headers above the windows in the gabled forms though - it gives the elevations a bit too much forehead in my opinion. Would be interested to hear from the architects on ways to address that. Otherwise a captivating interior; the comment regarding a cave like interior is precise. Thanks Local!

I found my dream house

Все молодцы, сорадования вам всем 🌞

Very nice indeed. I always wish I'd know what expenses were involved - everything is relative afterall.

Nice. Who is living there?

Love this design, beautiful. So curious, what this home would sell for???

Природа и ландшафт крайне похож на мою родину Алтай. Замечательная природа да и дом построен ради неё.. Послушайте а в этих домах люди вообще живут?! Где глупый старый плед?! Где обувь?! Где следы людей?где жизнь!? Или всё ради аренды?

😍

Anybody knows the brand of those awesome black leather dinning chairs

The architect has a LOT of money, easy to set up a nice home when you've got very deep pockets. Celebration of the well off.

Ich bin froh über das deutsche Baurecht, dass nicht jeder irgendwo in der Natur seine Hütte hinstellen kann.

❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Do any New Zealand Architects think outside the box? The house is nicely finished but ultimately un-insipring.

It's a castle

It would be awesome to see it without any color grading and desaturation.

I have no real idea what this looks like because of the use of a filter adding a blue / grey tint to the whole thing. Would be nice to have a less processed image to appreciate the actual colours etc.

🤍🤍🤍

To me, and this is subjective, it looks like all is coming from the same design/brain/inspiration, hence dull, neutral, almost boring,at least I side, although the film certainly doesn’t do justice to this beautiful building.

Too grey. Not cool. Grey is ok with lots of green, mixed with sand beige or something. Too depressive. Not Hugo boss not Dracula etc. I don't like it, its just boring

The place looks really cold and empty

Just blah blah blah. It's colourless, cold, monotone and totally depressing. Just to follow trends, with absolutely no imagination whatsoever. But I would not worry, colors will soon make a great comeback.

Sende biliyorsun zaten oh

This house exudes warmth and comfort. I could feel a sense of peace and serenity flowing throughout. The exterior displays so much charm and character. Lovely home, lovely choice of building materials, hardware, and decor. Truly one of my favorites.

Inspired, truly. The warmth of the materials and the embrace of the very light it captures throughout without the thundering white you see so much of. This house plays like a cello, deeply resonant and embracing.

Perfect composition. Still had to stop watching at 50%. Got too sad knowing I’ll never be able to afford this :)

The stone walls remind me of the 13th century buildings that are left here in Belgium, it feels very cosy

it's a really amazing house! I would love to know more about the materials, the finishes and the details, they make all the difference

Is there a link where we could find the floorplan of this house ?

New Zealand is a dream!

absolutely love this design. i also share the preference for the darker (cozier) finishes. beautiful home!

This house feels like a warm embrace! So peaceful and welcoming. Beautiful home.

I could listen to Jessica for hours!

Love the way it shows complete refinement with out being ostentatious or to artsy where as that can sometimes ruin the “home” feeling.

İ love it.

wow. The definition of perfection, is this home.

Stunning project, really enjoyed this tour

Absolutely georgious! Everything she said about the home, I felt it 😊

What a beautiful space to call home! 😍

Lovely building and home y feeling

Nice house. Give it to me if you do not want it anymore :-)

Beautiful and modern but with a cozy, timeless vibe. Feels very warm and safe, great space!

Top level, interior could be bit better but class

Beautiful fucking architecture omg and the quality of the cinematics is just umph

Absolute perfection.

Beautiful solid house!

peaceful

I’m so hyped to visit New Zealand next year 😍 🤞🏼

I Love it, from concept to endless vistas and deceptive double level layout...it all works!

Very rarely to I come across a demo that doesn’t have any flaws. This design does it for me! Beautifully done to construct a home that can withstand the test of time.

Talk about a moody home! I would love to build something like this in the woods.

Amazing home, but equally fascinated by the amount of expressions one home can have. The art is not only in the stunning architecture, but also in the platather of words used to describe one abode.

Feels like home, feels like a mother's embrace ...
