First of all, that guy is adorable Secondly, the house is adorable! I DO wish there were more 'overall' shots. I feel like the whole video consisted of 'detail' shots (which are appreciated though) and didn't get a good idea of the lay out of the house, would've loved to see a bit more :)
For those who have asked: It's actually incredibly WARM in winter. One would think of concrete as being cold, true- but this house has radiant floor heat, AND, once the huge fireplace gets going, and the wood stove, the concrete absorbs and reflects the most wonderful heat... it becomes like a person, or a party of friends...The different shapes, materials, and textures in the concrete each have their own, warm personalities- very organic. Interacting with the space becomes like a conversation- and one learns something in every nook and cranny... It is in Warren, VT- and it is available for rent through AirBnB online...
It's very natural yet artsy and modernistic. Plus it is so awesome with all the huge glass windows all around to look out at an amazing landscape of continuing beautiful God-given nature. I would love to own a place like this. My only problem is that it feels so secluded and I'm used to living in a close tight neighborhood :3
I would have loved to have seen this taken even further i.e.-concrete furniture, concrete doors, beds, etc.; basically everything except maybe the windows and plumbing fixtures.
Simply beautiful! I wonder what the cost was to build it, is it energy efficient and I wonder if this wouldn't be an alternative for areas that get a lot of tornadoes?
I don't understand why this is called the Archie Bunker house.......? Doesn't look like the TV show home. This place is beautiful and so is the fellow!
Isn't concrete bad for deterioration though? Actually saying that I'm going to buy a laing easi build in the UK which I think is quite literally poured concrete....
Frank Lloyd Wright is definitely an inspiration for Dave... but Dave's work does have a particular whimsy that can be seen in many of his designs. Dave is the father of the Prickly Mountain Design/Build movement- google some images... they're truly spectacular!
Well i hate to point out but the description of your video is wrong. The house is made of concrete, not of cement. I was shocked to see the description .... lol!! Cement is just one of the ingredients to make Concrete.
using all concrete for housing is nothing new. it is used all over the world, especially in third-world countries and harsher areas where using wood is not ideal.
omg that music is fabulous where can i buy the cd! ermmm not, its fucking vile very distracting music hard to concentrate on what this man is telling you about his house.
Why is he acting like concrete is an impossible sell and completely unwanted material? It's basically pourable stone and has been used in... almost all apartment and office buildings of any reasonable size for centuries... Also, great way to not really show any of the house and how integrated stuff is. Shows house plan "not to scale" then what freaking use is it?
