Tan France Builds a Traditional English Tudor Home in Salt Lake City | Architectural Digest 

as a fellow british person i have to applaud how well he has colonised this hill

Tan: "I don't know if I deserve it, but I sure do appreciate it." He's so sweet.

Jaw on the floor. The construction, the craftsmanship, the landscaping, the greenhouse, the VIEW; it’s so personal and stunning.

As I am here struggling to pay for my heating bill, I watch these people put in a heated driveway. RU-vid can show you the world. Every faced of it.

Tan France builds a 1980s North American McMansion take on a 1930s English mock Tudor suburban house.

I love and appreciate that this is a longform series so much. The quality of the production, plus Tan and Rob, the effort and taste put into this… this was a late Christmas gift for me.

already addicted to Tan and Rob France's house videos!! it is really a piece of art!

I love that the contractor is wearing the one-of-a-kind custom Carhart jacket Tan gave him when they were in the Closet 🥰🥰

Before I watched this video I didn't realize the uncanny valley applied to the design of houses. These faux distressed bricks are surreal.

Such an odd contrast between the backyard and the surrounding landscape on the hills...

I think the landscaping does actual violence to its surroundings. The whole complex is gouged out of a mountain to which it bears no relation. The only thing I can applaud is the artificial turf around the pool.

Tudor homes are my absolute favorite style homes. So traditional and beautiful.

SLC is in a mega drought. What a missed opportunity to reduce the property's water needs. Those arboretum will need so much water to get established and then through the heat of summer will need constant irrigation.

Wow, they could just move to LA, but they decided to build a heated driveway in Utah instead. These Utah homes are really some mansions. In my head Tan was like Watch out McGee, I am coming for you!

A behind the scenes look of the OBSCENE amount of resources utilized to house a family of 4 🙁 makes me cry for our planet. But at least they created something beautiful with a lot of care that is hopefully built to last for generations.

That is a beautiful yet totally tasteless monstrosity of a house.

You've worked so hard for so long to help so many feel beautiful. You deserve this house. I'm really so in awe of the gardens. My mum would be so happy with the neat boxwoods. Always something to catch your eye, yet so tidy.

I’ve never seen a Tudor house like that in England.

Why are the hydrangeas already dead? They need a lot of water and acid soil. I hope this garden survives.

"The grout? Yea. Mortar." Great characters in this series.

Tan, you need your own show. I would definitely watch.🥰 To all involved in this huge project👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

it doesn't look or feel traditionally English, it's clearly a USA take on an English House but its still very nice.

This garden and the landscaping is absolutely beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❤️ 💕 💖 😍. Congratulations Tan and Rob 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 😀 😊 🎊.

This is not the style for me personally but it looks incredibly well put together and designed. The details are really nice and you can tell that they really put a lot of time and attention into this. This whole series has been incredible. Really looking forward to the next chapters.

They did a phenomenal job, definitely a teamwork all around. Looks absolutely stunning, I can totally see falling in love with a house like this as a kid and wanting to pass by it every day

I love how the pool feels like a water feature. The gardens are stunning. Adore the atrium. The tudor looks so authentic ✨

Artificial turf is always a no for me and looks bizarre in the fall and winter when it's obvious it's fake. Why not use clover or some other sort of low maintenance ground cover plant?

The whole house and outside are packed with gorgeous details but- that stunning window construction in the kitchen!!!

Absolutely stunning! I can't believe how they brought those hedge trees in to hide that wall. Incredible. Great job on all of this.

Tan, I hope this isn't the final episode in this series. I'm so enjoying a peek around every bend. 🎉🎉🎉🎉

It's so nice to see his dream come true. Beautiful!

Reminds me of lottery winner stories when they’re leaving behind the trailer they grew up in and building what they perceive is the idea of a generational wealth estate 🙈

It’s so refreshing to see a bit of English charm on this channel!

Absolutely stunning! Everyone did such a lovely job! Thanks for sharing the process. ❤

Straight pine wooden beams on the exterior are not 'traditional Tudor', they are 'mock Tudor'.....

Dude could live anywhere and he chooses Salt Lake City 😂

It’s absolutely glorious. Job well done! What a beautiful place to live.

I love tan's design style, so much character. I would have added a covered walkway between the main house and cottage, especially in a snowy area

I adore Tan and can't get enough

This house is everything ❤I am so happy and excited for them. To have a dream and see it become a reality is such a blessing.

i LOVEDDD this, i really hope you do this kinda multi-year, step by step build for a bunch of other celeb homes too!

This is so stunningly hideous, it’s incredible.

I need more of these videos, Tan!!

Absolutely stunning ! Well done. Welcome to Salt Lake City Utah! We are glad you’re here!

This was an absolute joy to watch come together! I would love some insight into the interior/decor

One of the photos of the nice English houses is actually a photo of the Tudor garden at Hamilton Gardens in New Zealand. I just went and it's stunning!

Happy for Tan 😊 he's lovely

Absolutely stunning. Blessings to you and your family.

Definitely a beautiful house! But, is anyone else SUPER BOTHERED by that one limestone square that is askew, directly next to the pool???

I’m so happy for this family ❤ it’s beautiful! 😊

Love the concept and agree with everything you said about Tudor architecture. Something so timeless about it. And the house is gorgeous, you really brought that concept to life!

Tan is a gift to this world

So wonderful to have them as our neighbors. A great addition to our neighborhood.

I love how this house blends seamlessly into the landscape

what do you mean "it looks like it has always been here" lmao this house sticks the f out, doesn't look like it belongs at all

Asphalt roof looks horrible. The house overall reads like a McMansion. An amazing architect makes all the difference.

The video Ive been waiting for. Congratulations Tan, love you dearly.

A really beautiful house and magnificent view. The green house is spectacular. Congrats to Tan France & family to have this house. (It is now on my bucket list to have a house like this someday).

You hit it out of the park again! This series with Tan is so wonderful. This house is so wonderful. Love.

Congratulations Tan - Love you and love this series!

Absolutely breathtaking. Well deserved Tan

absolutely positively beautiful

Lets Gooooo i want to see the Finished House the Previous episodes were 😍❤️🙏🏽

Absolutely stunning!!!!

I really like the attention to details.

I recently visited one of London's oldest houses (Sutton House) which was originally built in the Elizabethan era, using local material, I think the brick was actually made on the property. And you could see when the different parts of the house was built by the pattern in the brickwork. I think the brickwork pattern they used on Fance's house is a style that came into fashion after the 17th century, so to make the house seem more "Tudor" they should maybe have chosen an older pattern

What nice, civil people and superb architecture!

The decision to apply English Tudor skin onto McMansion bones in the foothills of SLC (already McMansion central), plant a high-water "english" garden in an arid desert climate, and go to every length possible to cosplay English countryside life in Utah is just laughably out of touch with reality. As a longtime resident of Utah living in SLC I'm disappointed but can't say I'm surprised--a simple drive through the mansion-spotted foothills of SLC proves the ethos of this build is not uncommon here. It's hilarious that despite the lengths it goes to reject everything about the local environment, this house ends up fitting in perfectly with every other gaudy palatial building on its hill.

Absolutely beautiful house, fantastic job all around. 👏

Yet another McMansion parading as an authentic build. Would not be out of place in Disney World.

Beautiful! I live very near to this. Great location choice and design. Wishing them many happy years ahead!

You guys have done an amazing job. I love the backyard its absolutely beautiful.

So incredibly charming!

amazing modern tudor

Just stunning!! 😍

My jaw is on the floor, this is it! You made the perfect house!!

I’m invested in this videos!❤

When he says “the landscaping is English” and they show the obviously fake fountain and the bamboo plants I am not sure if it was supposed to be serious or sarcastic by the editor of this video

Watching this reminded me to stay humble ❤ When people like Tan France shows off their extremely expensive, over the top homes and then posts it online for the world to see just shows why celebrities are becoming a joke.

wow, people don't make homes like this anymore! beautiful

A place of charmless charm and history. Beautiful. 🥰🥰

As a fellow Brit that lives in the Midwest US, I give Tan a big pat on the back. Nice to bring a little class to UTAH!

That is about as Perfect a house as I have ever seen on a modern show. I hope they put a ski lift up on the slope above their house.

Dreamy. Stunning.

i enjoy ad a lot. tbh its very hard to swallow content of rich ppl living their millionaire lavish lifestyle while the rest of us can barely afford rent tho. Like its the parasite meme where the driver is looking back at the girl. Could we get a ad video focusing on normal ppl and their homes? or...their apartments? and not just these rich ppl

Incoming honest review...This is funny to me as a Brit. These fake big Tudor houses are very common here and seen as pretty dated as they were common in the 80s. I am so surprised he chose this style. I know he's English but that's the very reason I'm surprised. Alot of the examples of Tudor they are showing are not Tudor! They are early 20th century revival and larger and dont have the wonky look which is whatmakes the tudor look. These are nicer than the 80s ones and often beautiful but not Tudor. He'll enjoy it that's the main thing but because he is involved with design , it's a bit disappointing.

Breathtaking gorgeous, my dream.

Seeing the Tudor style completely out of its context makes this look like an elaborate film set

Living for Maison France! So happy to see you doing things that bring you joy!

I love this house. It's gorgeous. Tan is a visionary.

Gorgeous !

so stunning!!!!

Just wonderful. Excellent Job !!

21:14 what a beautiful sweater tan is wearing

Beautiful!❤❤

This was so incredible to watch. I am highly in support of creating character homes. In fact a dream of mine is if we could start mass producing character homes rather than the current mcmansion that's being produced. Even on a smaller scale of like 2-3 bedroom homes

Gorgeous ❤

Stunning 😊

Extraordinary 💙 You know you’ve made it when you can afford a heated driveway.

Does this count as McMansion?
