We hope you enjoyed the captivating tour of Casa F by Williams Burton Leopardi, a Mediterranean dream house that seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern elegance. The design's focus on open spaces and a 'town square' arrangement between the main home and the pavilion beautifully reflects the importance of togetherness.

Very tasteful combining of design elements. Far to many projects fall short for the input expended, this home reflects the high competency of the designers.
All of this works together so well - the heritage home flowing into the new addition, the new addition opening into the backyard and how the backyard is landscaped and integrated into this property. Interiors are very well done. I like the kitchen with a combination of marble and tile - I haven't seen that often and it works well. The backyard is the star, though. I can see an outdoor oven and kitchen, there is a dining table, there is a pool, beautiful plants and even a lawn. It feels much bigger than it is.
Stunning home. Love the blend of old and new and that kitchen is just a dream. Would love to have seen where they hid the detritus of 3 kids as we all know the paraphernalia that kids bring with them and they don't live in showhomes like this one without some mess somewhere.
Derest architect family Leopardi, this is simply breathtaking and dramatic architecture construction and not overbuilt. All artist's vision of interior space is very clear focuse. Informal devided living space provides the value of collaboration design. Whole idea is marvelous in the outstanding location Kaurna. Harmony and softness is achieved without robust design. Vision of garden, bounded on the boath sides, gives inovation in the classic Mediterrane lifestyle. Also reference the continuing history of the site Idea of concealment of the elements with natural elements like natural stone and special kind of oak is composed so stylish but also functional! Old and new materials are bring into eyes with every filters of light. The plan arragement of the house gives modern divided "lean-to" Mediterrane form. BE PROUD
Love love love the color scheme of the dining and living rooms.. so soft, warm and grounding. I'd love to know the coffee table books featured at 5:33. I'm also of Italian heritage and in the market for the italian design & architecture inspired books. Please let me know your favorites. I can't think of a better place to pose such an inquiry.
Beautiful house and comfortable. One observation is that these houses can sometimes be overly staged for videos, which, in the process, diminishes the 'homely' feel and creates more of a museum-like atmosphere, designed to showcase all the intricate design elements. This isn't a criticism since I understand that the goal is to highlight the architectural aspects, but it would be great to see a 'real-life' home with less meticulously arranged shots and fewer staged elements. Let's be a bit messy and unorganized at times.
There is so much of the living area and barely any of the bathrooms, bedrooms and other areas. When there is just a close-up shot of the bathroom without enough context and surrounding shots, you can't get an idea of how it all fits together.
At least the house is not dark where i can see many interior design which is beautiful unlike many of the previous videos wheere the some of the projects are so dark, i thought i was in hell.
I feel like Mediterranean is a hype word that designers like to throw around especially lately.. like "indoor outdoor living".. I live in Israel.. we are by the Mediterranean sea, and there is nothing similar in this house to a typical Israeli house (if there is such a thing). But also Lybia.. Greece.. Lebanon.. Egypt.. all of them are by the Mediterranean and this is not really reflective of their style.. so..
There's nothing remotely Mediterranean about the house. It's lavish, opulent and over the top, the exact opposite of a what one would consider a home on the Med.
what's "lavish" and "over the top" there? I think what's "mediterranean" about it isn't the house itself (I agree there is nothing Mediterranean about it) but the internal courtyard - how the house kind of wraps around it? It's similar to these internal courtyards of traditional Roman homes. At least, this is what I got out of it.
There's nothing over the top if we are talking about wealthy houses. The house copies typical Mediterranean features but in the same time looks modern and fancy. The result looks unique and the owner likes it. So what are you crying about?
@@user-xf2ps8qv7e is this your first time on the internet? I'm just stating my opinion, but it seems like you're the one that's getting a little upset about it all.
I think that’s just the channel’s title for the video. The architects just referred to the family wanting to reflect a Mediterranean lifestyle. They never claim the house itself is Mediterranean in style. On a side note if you have been to coastal Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, there are plenty of lavish and opulent over the top homes there.
@@retrospective77 You're right, I'm upset that you're telling total nonsense in your first comment. Moreover you make it sound like a fact, as if a Mediterranean house can't be lavish and opulent
Really appreciated the design principals - especially the functionality and the use of color. However, maybe it's just me, but the place seems disproportionately big and as a result not cozy. I'm sure they 1000% responded to the brief, but it comes across a bit trendy and...soulless...maybe?
“Mediterranean dream house” - where did that come from?? Marketing BS or architect BS not sure which. I live in the Mediterranean and this house does not look even remotely of this region.
What is the reason and meaning behind saying "the house sits on the traditional lands of the Kaurna people"? Does it mean the land is being contractually leased (like a leasehold) for a period of time from the Kaurna people? #PleaseEducateMe
it is a means of acknowledging and respecting the indigenous owners of the land. the Kaurna people, who lived there for 60,000 years before British settlement.
Funny. Talk about crap. Well, let me educate you, GERRARD . NO ONE is the owner of ANY piece of land. If anything, the land owns you. You are a piece of dirt that will reunite with the earth in about 80 years, and it will be here long before you and long after you... so.. lil bit of humbleness, ya?.. And usually, this is something that indigenous people understand quite deeply, actually. @@xoxoops
