We hope you enjoyed the journey through the enchanting White Rock cabin nestled in the heart of the Gaspereau Valley! Omar Gandhi’s architectural masterpiece, a secret haven in the woods, truly captivates with its confident steel form and the way it seamlessly blends with the ever-changing colours of the surrounding forest. White Rock was recently featured in Issue No. 13 of our tri-annual print publication, which is available for order through our website: thelocalproject.com.au/publication/issue-13/
Beautiful and inspirational cabin. Congratulations to Omar and the OGA team who brought this to fruition. I love that it was created not only for Omar and his friend and their families, but also for team members to enjoy.
Probably the best video yet from Local Project. An excellent walk through and proper explanation of design choices with easy to understand language. Well done.
Great to see another architect who speaks in normal English, rather than the architect gobbledegook that almost every Australian architect spouts on this channel. Very refreshing.
That is just amazing! The sophisticated simplicity and minimalism in this project is just outstanding! Kudos to you Omar and to everyone who worked on this! Now I have a new image to go on my vision board
First of all the setting of this house is magnificent and The sleek industrial design against the backdrop of this lush forest is like a high-fashion statement in the wild. ♥
Wow, this one was such a delight to see revealed! I didnt think i would be into it based on the title and still, but the intro was so fun and the concept spoke SO deeply to me! Fantastical ✨️🌱 what a gift to retreat here. My only critique is the amount of stainless steel in the kitchen, feels a little too harsh than what i'd prefer for a space to retreat.
A beautifully designed house. The atmosphere bathing in light and surrounded by forest is what I like the most, as well as the wooden interior in most places creating that connexion with the outside world and adding a touch of warmth. I am not a fan of the stainless steel used in the kitchen and around the fireplace. I have never understood it. To me it sabotages the warmth and softness of the wood. Stone feels more natural to use for a sitting area by the window and would look more welcoming on countertops. But overall I can appreciate the efforts invested by the architects here in creating a project for themselves to enjoy. Great build.
I'm probably inaccurate on this opinion, but I see a bit of early 70's Myron Goldfinger in that design. It has some strong late modernist cues, in my opinion. The interior wood surfaces are gorgeous, too. Beautiful design.
Wow if I win lottery I would make a copy of that style and build a like that house in Philippines at my coconut farm 🥥 🌴 on the Riverside or at my mango farm at the Ocean side 1 hectare and 300 square meters, or at my rice farm at the lake side 2.5 hectares. Only lot no house. Now I dream that house. Only in my dreams I have lots but no nice house 😅😅
Apologies in advance, but to my eye it looks cold, lifeless and dull. I could sit on a rock, a fallen tree or go for a walk and feel more in tune with the landscape.
I think he said at the begining it's like a retreat n that changed my whole persective as someone who love warmth n carpets ,drapes , cushions, curved window , stone cladding n rich walnut varnished wood But in found its simple ,extreemly clean lines sort of liberating to an individual who wants a break from not just audio clatter but visual ones too n what i would normally see as cold when i look at it in contrast with the rich vegetation surrounding the premises ifind that it gives a sort of clearing to the mindset n permit me to enjoy the nature around me more while im in my serene bubble 😅 I'm not a professional n this house is the complete opposite of my own house but i think I'll feel calm a safe when visiting for a while. Sorry if i wasn't clear on some point English isn't my mother language.
يفترض من اسمه (عمر) أنه مسلم، لكن النشأة في بلاد الكفر جعلته مثلهم، وها هو يخزن الخمر في منزله ويتباهى بشربها.. لا تجرموا في حق أبنائكم بتنشئتهم بين الكفار فيلحقوا بهم في دينهم
