Love this one!! And thank you for working in some efficiency details. So many of the homes featured on this channel are beautiful but obviously horrible with energy efficiency.
How amazing to get up in the morning to sparkling clean floors under-foot because of the completely flat floor required to run a robot vacuum and/or mop every night while you sleep… No step-up or step-down or sunken architectural features that are a pain, let alone not being disability friendly. This is one of the very few architecturally designed homes shown on this channel with function in mind over form for the occupants - living in it, cleaning it, maintaining it with the latest tech. I also just love the light, spacious feel of this home. LOVE IT.
I like how the house wraps around that internal courtyard and provides views of nature. I also like the color palette of soft timber and black columns and light fixtures. It works really well for that mid-century inspired look
OMG! Chris Gilbert! Without doubt one of the most important Architects currently working in the World. Yor 'mews' houses in the passageway in Melbourne are incredible and standard setting. This property is on another level! Stunning and superbly designed. And with the environment put at the centre. Literally. What a family home! For generations to come. The garden and the courtyard. This property will only get better as the years pass by. Setting new standards in every sense. This has to be one of the best homes featured on the channel. On repeat. Chris, every continued success! Thank you for bringing this home to the LP channel.
love how you can transform a square plot/house in such a beauty! like GENIUS having an internal courtyard that provides space between every room and makes it spacious but also brings in nature
I really didn't like the fact that the taps were running in the video. It's a a waste of water and contradicts the "commitment to sustainability" on your channel. Please be more mindful in future.
What a lovely home and down-to-earth architect. And so refreshing to hear a designer narrate plainly without academic architect-speak. I hope to never hear the word "materiality" again.
Beautiful house. Similar design to how traditional Korean and Japanese homes were designed with internal gardens and the living space wrapped around it
This house is nice. I love courtyard design houses with atriums. The only thing that in the courtyard area instead of plants and flowers I would have tiled it and put tables and chairs to give it a restaurant vibe with some nice plants and perhaps a bar in a corner. Nice anyway. Everyone has there own taste .
Sorry, but the production quality of the Local Project AUS/NZ Videos is SO much better than the US version - calm, personal, friendly, appealing… the US videos are so fast and try to be more dramatic.
While like all these videos, the camera work is very nice. But please show a floor plan so we can actually get an idea of how the rooms work together and how the house flows.
Would have been better to include a floor plan. The idea of a courtyard works in some climates. Here it has clearly resulted in spaces that are corridors AND inefficient use of resources. The most efficient shape is a square. A central courtyard is up there with the most inefficient uses of materials and when you consider the spaces are corridors …. We see light from two sides and you are unlikely to notice the dark ceilings because the spaces are so thin. Fine to talk about efficiency but when most of the house is glazing and concrete for corridors then …
