This is one of the best houses I have seen, a living accessible work of art. All the different dynamics they were able to combine in this project is masterful.
Oh, I remember this house and their journey from an episode of GD - Australia. I'm glad that even after some setbacks they are still going strong and the house still looks great.
Yes its great they succeeded, there were a lot of challenges, didn´t half the house burn down in the final stage ??, it was heartbreaking. Glad they are OK.
Hello Tanya M dear friend I hope you are fine . I guess you are interested in architecture and villa design. If you are interested in these topics I'm glad you visit my channel Our team uploads new videos every day, I am sure you will like them
This is such a beautiful house. I love the design, layout functionality. Depending on where the houses are, I always find it strange to have a dark outer surface. I know the black is sleek but sometimes too many houses with black outer surface just makes the house hot. So you will then have to incorporate more cooling and ventilation system.
Love how they’ve used a plot of land that many others would have ignored. And they’ve planned the home so well within the tight space, making it feel so much bigger and spacious
and, it's perfect that it's a passive house - the airtightness also leads to sound isolation from outside, which the plot absolutely requires. I bet you would go nuts living in a regular house that close to the tracks but I am certain that they don't hear it at all
@@mrvk39 It's an easy assumption to make, but I live in a regular brick built house just as close to the tracks, built in the 80's and experience hardly any disturbance from the trains at all inside, garden is a different story though😅.
@@Ronjohnalex I also lived in a brick building near subway tracks. And I could hear everything. Maybe you had very good windows with sound isolation. I had old metal ones that came with the building built in the 1970s,
I guess everyone has their own definition of the words, small house. Maybe on a small land space would have been a more accurate title for the vid. Beautiful home & thank you for the vid.
the noise is completely blocked out when windows and doors are closed - and even in the garden is not too bad because the train company built a noise wall beside
Hey @towch. Compared to the average new built Australian Home (which is approx 240 sqm) it is relatively small. The home occupies 78 sqm footprint on the site, multiplied over 2.5 stories (total of 178 sqm)

You can barely hear the noise - everything is really tightly sealed and well insulated due to the passive house standard, which also helps amazingly wiht acoustics.
The build looks great. I believe it's a very comfortable place to live. But... How many square metres of land did it take and how much resources was used to build it? If we are talking about SUSTAINABILITY we must be able to scale up the solution for the whole population (on Earth or at least in a given country). Would there be enough space on the planet if every 3 people (8 billion people which mean we would need at least 2.5 B houses like this) want to leave like this? How the building contributes to the local area? Does it give any value added to the neighbourhood? It looks like it was an exclave (a nice one, but completely detached from the rest of the district). How sprawled our cities would have to be to fit all buildings like this? Is there any chance to build a proper public communication? What would be density of the area? How many cars would we need? The house is probably the best possible home for this family and I'm happy for them. The interior is great. I just have a feeling this is not really sustainable. Sustainability is more than using recyclable items or natural materials. Is about making sure that if everybody would be doing the same our planet has got enough resources to handle it.
Probably a lot more than most people can afford, including me. But if everyone incorporates small elements of this when designing or building a new home, it can still make a big impact.
yes, the solid CLT and woodfibre insulation together with the triple glazed windows completely block out the noise - this passivhaus performs pretty well acoustically too
We also invested in Blum product for our renovation last year and we haven’t looked back. It was worth every penny. What a joy to open and close cabinetry and drawers with a light touch. If you can’t quite afford Blum just now, wait and save, or even invest piece by piece. It really is next level.
The home is quite peaceful and beautiful. It is amazing that it can be so tranquil next to the train tracks. I love the ideas they shared regarding the benefits of a passive house. I was glad to see that open windows are part of the concept. Love the look of your home!
💚 Great to see Marc and Felicity’s vision realised after a challenging building process. This is only the beginning for their dream of creating a more sustainable future for all.

Love it! It's beautiful, simple, absolutely functional and tailored to their lifestyle, very thoughtfully designed... that's some great architecture right there! Personally I think I wouldn't want to live right next to the train tracks, but I appreciate that they went for a plot that would otherwise remain unused and made the absolute best of it.
Simple ?! 🤣😂 lmao . this house is by no means simple ! Every nook has a bespoke design with high end materials. Look at the relief brickwork walls 1:03 ! That alone is already difficult and expensive to build .
Was there a reason the external walls and roof were painted black and not a cooler colour to reflect the heat of the sun? Otherwise great looking project making the most of a tricky/unique site!
I love this home. Wish you could design me a home similar to this in the USA Detroit Metro area, Only smaller because I am only one older person. I love the living room, kitchen, bedroom with roof garden,the bathroom and outdoor garden as well. So well done. Only negative for me is I love a fire stove to cook on.
Such a beautiful home with really thoughtful construction and longevity. I hope lots of construction companies take note to implement this kind of technology in future homes and buildings 😊
You get used to it overtime and they put a sound barrier along the tracks. I know because I lived near the airport for 20 years and eventually moved out. When I visit my old house I was disturbed by the constant noise of planes that pass every 3 minutes. It’s amazing how our ear can ignore the noise we hate over time
They had limited money starting out, they got the block for a steal in that part of Melbourne it was a pretty incredible price. They lived in a camper van for a very long time with 3 kids because council would not approve the build and I think they almost went bankrupt. The house also caught fire because the owner was using a grinder that went into the flashing and pretty much burnt the whole thing down. I think they are bloody lucky and I still love this house so so much.
