I love the mystique of a home with so many hidden features. The desire to spin the wheels just to find out what they do. And the wood cladding weathered until they are opened. Beautiful design.
The feeling that I get from the home is warmth. The home feels so warm with all of that wood. The color of the wood is so beautiful. The design is so beautiful there are few things more beautiful than a shiny silver roof set against a rich wood color. It's spectacular. The design of the home seems so simple and has wonderful touches with the shutters that can be opened manually with a hand crank. And the light that illumunates the home once the shutters are open cast a beautiful light into the interior of the home. It's a seemingly simple design which is well executed. I love the shape of the home and the internal courtyard. It's very beautiful home.
Incredibly inspired design. It felt a little dark and "moody" for me, but I appreciate how others might want and love this. I do love how there was a thoughtful approach to rejuvenating the natural environment that surrounds the home itself. Beautiful.
thats what that beautiful sun is for as it shines through the house, it really makes me appreciate the contrast of feelings between the dark moody and the sun.
I think it's intended to be a respite from the unprotected land around the house - no trees/shade at all - except what's been created within the framework of the building. So, it's a way to rest your eyes, cool your body (or warm it) and feel safe in a wide expanse of open landscape.
This house is a poem to the classic Australian home and it is an absolute success. It was a delight to see this house and really feel the relationship between the house - both in terms of layout and interior design - has with its surroundings. It feel like it was built by someone a long time ago who had the foresight and sensibilities of a modern architect. So well executed!! Bravo!!
Amazing use of wood cladding and finishes, it really makes the interior of the house look warm and cozy in contrast to the cold rugged landscape surrounding it. ❤
Absolutely beautiful design, construction and materials. The only downside is that it seems incredibly dark; but if the client loves it, that's all that matters.
Una granja hermosa, práctica, cálida, con un buen sistema de descubrimiento de la luz. Con una forma hermética y protegida y a la vez abierta dentro y hacia fuera. Muchas gracias por la realización serena y de calidad.
Blessed to find a client who allowed your creative juices to unfold! Love it... the dappling of light, the cosiness and strength of wood, all remind me of being in a shearing shed... Wish I could be around in 100 years to see the buildings lived in beauty then! Congrats on the regeneration... What a fabulously exciting project this must have been to work on 😍 kudos all round 👏
Щось не зрозуміла - камінню більше місця виділили, ніж людям? Чотири ліжка в два поверхи - це норм при такій площині будинку? Щось темне, незрозуміле, недолуге…
Lol, these "fancy" architects just don't get it. A beautiful stone or brick home mirroring the colonial or old world cottage style is timeless. It's real beauty. This sharp lines and gimmicks used now are nothing but wow factors that get old fast.
It saddens me to see this video and the design presented. I know what they were thinking, natural elements etc. But, has everyone forgotten that there was a monumental change in design from colonisation to around the mid 1800's when a cohesive design originated that used all the advantages of sun light and shade to bring both light and thermal control into the average "farm house"? These buildings used light and volume to create a year round bright environment rather than this dark and dank, foreboding box. If that was the western sun going through the unprotected side window, then good luck and hope you have massive AC to cope!
@@smallhitchfarm9090 Not quite following you here. Sunlight is free, and if controlled, can give both warmth, texture and can be controlled to utilise thermal elements such as self cooling. Just having dark spaces so as to the be able to appreciate direct sunlight, with all it's downsides, is self defeating.
Why do you need these ugly plastic wrappers everywhere? if it's indigenous grasses, why on earth would they need "protection" in their native habitat? It kind of ruins the look of the entire house...Also, the internal courtyard is a disappointment - you'd expect that with that barren landscape, the internal yard would be lush with vegetation but it's just barren as well. Yet, I really like how soft that timber looks in the sunlight and how industrial levers and wheels are incorporated into it.
When I first saw them from the air I thought it was an amazing art installation and loved it! The plant guards protect new plantings from being eaten until they become more established. I use them on all my new plants and trees.
@@tc2486 maybe, they should've waited until the grasses grow to show the house. It's really an eye sore and it would probably look much better with tall grass.
The inner courtyard reflects the typical Australian landscape for the area. Having "lush" vegetation would appear out of place given the aim is to appear natural and neutral. This is just very typical of a lot of Australian architecture. The area is also very windy meaning the plants require some protection when being cultivated, or they may grow in an unruly or inconsistent way.
Phenomenal. I havent seena hosue i've like this much for a long time. I'm an architect and i am a very harsh judge. quite amazing. and an honest and humble architect. excellent work.
