Great interview. You should get a Netflix show, as any “design” show at the moment sounds (and looks) like a joke. It would be amazing to bring real creatives to the masses. 😊
This is one of the greatest series that is true to architecture. Architects telling stories that explain the narrative of their work in a clear vision. Nothing shallow and “artsy” like what a lot of architecture videos have become. Bravo team
She mentions that someone stated it looks unfinished on the outside and I find that a problem too. Whilst I understand she wants to keep some integrity and truth with regard to the exterior, I still believe there should be some integrity and consideration to the surrounding properties too. I adore the interior, the garden and her excellent ideas for different spaces/ areas within a room. I'd certainly be happy living in this space.
Genuinely curious here - so if someone would be so kind as to enlighten me I’d be eternally grateful. That opening shot alone has me wondering how you keep the place clean without either having to go minimalist and hide all that stuff away or spend half your day dusting etc. (or fork out for a near full time maid).
In the U.S Fancy Butt Shingles are common and called "Fish Scale" shingles or " Scallop" shingles. When a basic wood shingle is cut in a special decorative way some call it "Fancy Cut" shingle. Maybe this is where Fancy "Butt" came from?
Space, light, materials, nature, and decoration are elements of design, not principles. Elements are the building blocks and principles are the rules/guidelines, such as balance, contrast, rhythm, and proportion. If you propose to educate a general audience about design, then the vocabulary of design matters.
I could listen to Laura describe her design choices and thought process all day. Such a clever plan and use of a derelict site. I would move here in a flash.
Thank you! This is a truly magical home, with a palette of materials and thoughtful arrangement of space and light that just made me sigh aloud in delight. Thank you so much for showing us through, and for sharing some of the considerations behind the choices and design, and thank you again for this series, which is one of my favourite things on RU-vid.
Absolutely wonderful ! A delight to the senses, heart, spirit, light, eyes, growth and dreamtime....... May the sweetness of life continue to unfold with infinite vision and the delightful freedoms to CREATE......
Astonishing home. So brilliantly crafted. Love The Modern house episodes are so interesting to dive into. I rewatched them all, time and time again. Come and see our home to. Decorator husband who build and decorated everything indoors our 3 story townhouse. I’m the artist and the gardener. Thank you :)
I would agree with that, architects first designing their own home and going through it and then doing it for others, only makes sense? Thanks for sharing, place looks amazing ❤❤ love the stainless steel countertops you use 😍 and what do you feel? To me the space feels super cosy 😊 lovely actually
Enjoyed your explanation of the Treehouse build. The only thing I would have done (and it is so minor)The sliding doors would have slid all the way into the inner wall to Laura's right, total disappearance. Keep the outside of the building as is, it is-wonderful.
“I thot it was a nutcracker…” a cracking line which was passed on rather swiftly… Jokes aside, love the video, the house and the owners integrity to their beliefs, a lot of thought gone into it and executed very well… Tremendous!
My apartment is the same cross laminated timber and I can say it’s sooooo calming. It just brings a sense of peace and nature in. The walls are drywall and the ceilings and supports are all timber which I feel like is a fabulous mix.
Hi; for a house built from zero really lacks of design and I am not talking the "wow" factor. Check the obscure the house is besides the kitchen. Hence no video of the bathroom; and the rest...I am a designer
