the architects aren't dumb. i'll all be protected, netted, glued down, hollowed, reinforced glass, 10 year replacement guarentee. theres no use in building house only for you to be sued about it later.
@@celinaastbury4619 Architects and Engineers are notorious for taking short cuts to gain efficiency and space sacrificing safety and common sense. Apparently they are "dumb" enough to place a multi million dollar home on a loose rock face at what looks like well beyond a 45° angled slope.
nameiwantizgone I was watching House Hunters International a couple of years ago where a couple was looking for a home in Australia. They walked in the bedroom and there was a 10 ft snake just chillin next to the bed. NO ONE was alarmed! They were like, “Crikey! How’d you get in here?” and kept on with the tour. I realized I wasn’t cut out to live in Australia.
Arch Digest content in a nutshell: $5 million house in Arizona: your own mountain in the backyard. $67 million apartment in New York: can't even see the sun.
Well NYC prices are always inflated due to it being a major US city with a whole lot to do, this house is in Arizona where the cost of living is much much cheaper
Jonathan P. Arizona is better than New York tho because New York is musty and too expensive, Arizona is beautiful and cheap. Plus, in Arizona it’s very easy to get guns, so it’s an American’s dream
It's a private road with a gate wayyyy further back.

@@AdelleRamcharan thanks for clarifying! However, even if it's a closed road, the fact that the same one is right at your front door, and totally visible from your infinity pool, well doesn't seem very minimalistic.
Nosey neighbors/ hikers looking in your windows, oh and rock slide would do serious damage. A location like that you would need to own all the surrounding land to ensure privacy, security and safety.
Notice they say, "There's a mountain in the backyard!" and not, "The house is on a mountain." It really sums up your average billionaire's attitude toward the world.
gary_neilson Of course they can. Ever heard of Risk Analysis? They would have made sure the site was safe and besides, in order to get planning permission for sites like these, they need to be deemed safe or else they can make them safe using nets, supports, etc
I do not see the problem here?! It is a high-end Gaggenau kitchen made in Germany, using african "Wenge" as Wood. She might have worded it a little funny, that is all... After all the best house-hold appliances come from Germany! Miele, Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Gaggenau etc. Look at any high-end luxury home, you will most likely find one of the above-mentioned company´s devices in it^^ I also do have a german kitchen, Nolte, with some African natural Stone countertop, a sort of black polished granite - well since there is no real black granite, it actually is a sort of diorite, but for the sake of things let us call it granite... If one was to only watch that 4-5 second part out of it`s context, i could see people laughing, or finding it hilarious - is that the new deal? putting things out of context or understanding situations as a singular event out of it`s original intended context? maybe a symptom of a post-factual "zeitgeist" we are living in....
"Snow Birds" are rich east coasters who come to Arizona for the winter. There are entire wealthy communities that are packed for a few months then dormant for 6-8
For the viewers not from America: Arizona is basically a desert state and summers reach 50°C. Having your entire house glass must be torture in the summer and cost $5000 a month to air condition that home
That’s Copenhaver Castle. It’s currently being renovated and it’s said to be cursed because all it’s previous owners have gone bankrupt 😂 Don’t know if that’s true though
Its phoenix, no rain for landslides and no earthquakes. All the fault lines melted a thousand years ago lol. Fair play with the bugs though, but the big reason to not move there is that its in Phoenix.
Aside from boulders breaking windows, the theme of this place seems to be "Wasting water in the desert." Outside infinity pool, outdoor shower, faux waterfall(!!) - all in a town where it gets so hot they need to mix ice with the concrete for nighttime construction and planes sometimes can't fly.
If i had the money i would buy this house immediately, BUT the placement is just terrible. I mean just hypothetically speaking, if you're that rich that you're able to buy this million dollar home, you'd at least want privacy, the house is a beauty, but there ist no security whatsoever not to mention you are living on a curve 10ft away from a freaking road. Neither to forget that if there are rocks falling you can basically search a new house. Take it apart and build it somewhere else.
lmvx it’s hard to build on that mountain because of all the regulations it has since it’s a city landmark. So that’s probably why it turned out that way and the road does kinda bother me a bit.
I can just imagine how I can scare the pants off someone by standing on the rock from the kitchen view. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂 Anyway, I'll be too scare of rocks slide falling from behind. (lost sale for me)
This 6M property has many common architectural designs as those 30M properties in LA or NY. This house has good fengshui geomancy because it has mountain as it's back. But the thing is, the surrounding looked very sandy and feels like the house would be dusty in no time.
Enjoy a swimming pool that's practically on the street, a giant kitchen window facing the bottom of a slope full of giant boulders, and a glass bathroom where "nobody can see you."
A weekend, yes. Forever home, never. That waterfall is going to eventually weaken the ground, too.- and the constant water sound would make me wanna pee all the time :D And other negative issues.
And a complementary slew of beautiful creatures including snakes, crocodiles, pack rats, bees, centipedes, black scorpions, wolves, grizzly bears and some cannibal tribes, and of course the infinity pool..!
THIS IS A PERFECT HOUSE FOR ME. LOVE LOVE LOVE THE DESIGN, VIEWS AND THE MOUNTAIN BRIDGE AND OUTSIDE SHOWER, and everything else AHHHHH. and it is only 6 mil $. I am sure I can manifest that extra 6 million $ by the end of this month..... BLISS.
