Things I regret about our home (Skypod) 

My son want to be engineer, that's why i told him to watch your channel. Now he is motivated to become like you, and we have a father and son bonding while watching you, thanks man!

That is why my dream house is not just 1 house but 3 houses, one child-friendly, one resort feel, and one accessible to all my needs (Workspace).

I love how this person gives us advice like a close friend.

Thanks for the birthday greetings fam ❤️

04:40 It's basically called the Greenhouse effect, that's why you can't just build an all-glass house, there has to be some form of ventilation. This is also true with slab roofing since the slab will absorb all that heat from the sun during day and emit it inside during the night. You can't just build slab roofing or glass house just because you like it, you need to mind the side effect and how to counter it. One way to counter heat is to put tall trees around the house, if you can and don't mind cleaning dead leaves on your gutter every now and then. You can also look into evaporative cooling system, but requires large window openings for air movement. For slab, there has to be heat reflective insulation under the slab with ample moving air layer in between. You can also try one-way mirror film on sides directly hit by the sun.

Thank you for this! Thank you for not being too proud to admit that not everything that looks perfect really is perfect. It takes a lot of humility to make a vlog like this. Very helpful for a lot of people to learn from! More power to you guys!

I love the honesty! Thank you for sharing your regrets. It makes us feel okay with any misses we have in our humble homes. Regardless of the errors, the SKYPOD still is one of the prettiest properties out there! Kudos, Slater and Kryz!

Your editing skills and cinematography is on another level. Keep it up sir slater 🙏

There's no perfect home talaga Eng. Slater, sabi nga ng prof ko sa design dapat talaga daw talaga versatile yung spaces para easy to convert lang po whenever a situation arises.

dayumm who's editing Sir Slater's videos? so aesthetically pleasing, manly and clean

im not even interested about engineering stuff but there's something about people that talk passionately about their passion/life. it really pulls you

the typical coffee broll intro. level up na cinematography & editing skills nimo engr!

Happy Birthday Engr. Slater Young! more blessings to come to you and the whole SKYFAM!

sa dami ng gamit ng wife ko, i know the kind of dream house for us! a warehouse! hahahahaha!!

It would be funny if the video started with him saying “Nothing” tapos biglang black screen for the rest of the video HAHAHAHA

I am a lover of all black kitchens or kitchens with colors that have blue or black. So, glad you didn't go for another all white kitchens like everyone else.

I'm not even an engineer pero I just love watching Slater explains things about the house stuff. Kryz and Slater have lots of wisdom that you will not be bored talaga to watch them. 😊

Thank you for sharing your work and wisdom. You did a great job! When the baby starts walking and running, he will touch everything. He will bump into sharp corners. I take care of a 2 yr old grandson. Baby proofing will be next project so you can enjoy the physical playing. Things will change and the way you use the house will change again.

Galing ng editooor and the song ang bg music choices! 💯

I really like this episode kay gina discuss nimu ang unsay mas maimprove pa sa work during construction and after. As an architect, another checklist ni pagcheck sa site before, during, and after the construction. Thanks, Engr. Slater!

I think pwede ka Professor. You teach so well, and I feel that you love it, the passion, it reflects. ❤️

I can tell na super OC si slater. Hahahaha. And man I totally I understand. Even the smallest detail na namamali bothers me a lot. Hahaha

My dad is a civil engineer for more than 20 years now but he still keep commiting mistakes.. Yet, he learn from those.. Nothing or no one is perfect. 😊

Waiting for Mr Oliver to react on this and do some recommendations

Haha you two look like best friends when talking about your home

I’m learning so much from your vlog. Really took notes of the things for our future home. More vlogs about engineering stuff, at least for us na di engineers can easily understand your world at di kami madaling maloko ng iba. Love from Zamboanga 🥰

Solid Content Engr. Nice cinematography, transitions and Editing

the intro tho, thats how u should flex peeps hindi yung naka starbucks then lakad

Love that "See you sLATER!" in the end! 👌 anyway, happy birthday Engr! 🤘

You know what slater, lalo mo kong pinahanga, admitting your regrets were so amazing.

You’d definitely wish you added more rooms or rooms are bigger especially when your kids are older. They’d want privacy, their friends would come over or even sleepover, they’d have more stuff (study table, books, etc) and the like. 😅

This is great. My child is a architecture student, 1st year. Very valuable info, thank you for posting this!

Love your house despite some minor regrets you mentioned. Your bedroom is better facing East and getting the morning sun. If your room is facing West, the heat will be scorching hot. You're good you chose the right spot.

Great for u to share your experiences in house design. No perfect house, never mind, just a happy and loving family will make up for all minor irritations.

Happy Birthday Slater. Nung nagmove din kami sa sarili namin bahay since budgeted ang home improvement namin, ang advise sa amin is unahin ipaayos ang kitchen and laundry area na maayos na sampayan w roof dahil everyday daw ginagamit yun. Make sure din magkaron ng storage room para sa mga seasonal na gamit like xmas decors etc. And lahat yun ginawa namin, totoo nga bukod sa sala, dining and bedrooms.

SHOUTOUT TO SLATER'S INTRO halatang halata yung effort na nilalagay sa pag gawa ng vid

Happy Birthday, Slater! God bless you always.

Nice informative videos as always. I hope you can give us a tour of the house you grew up in or your parents house and talk about the engineering stuff in it like you always do. More power to your videos!!

The tile gaps can indeed be annoying, but I just learned to accept that not everything can or will be perfect. Even if you're able to perfect 99.9% of your tiles, that 1 slab that's slightly uneven will just stick in your mind, discounting the perfection of the 99.9%. And even if you do get the tiles perfect, you will eventually find something to get annoyed about like the slightly protruding hinge, or not perfectly set corners, etc. So don't sweat the little things. :) You already have a home that's more beautiful than most of the people you will ever meet. :)

What if yung outro is: "I'll see you guyS LATER" MHMMMMMMMM... 🤔

Honestly, you guys are the only vloggers where I don't skip ads. Heart heart

I Love the transition in the beggining

I was wondering in the masters bedroom, why didn’t you have sliding glass doors that open to the garden? Wouldn’t that bring air circulation across your room since it was one of your regrets? :) just an observation

Happy birthday, Engineer Young! ❤️🥳

Beautiful house, there will always be regrets. I built modernist house in the UK 17 years ago. I had a solar control glass on the facades that took in the orientation of the sun, I also had electromagnetic glass to the front facades for privacy. The window frames were hugely expensive, Schuco frames. Structurally bonded glass to frames for seamless look. Great job with the house , I may build a house in the Philippines one day, so great to see design ideas and cues. God bless 🙏

Happy Birthday, Slater Young! 🤍

Really appreciate your videos, and the friendly way in which you explain, I know you must have thought about this, but you can put manual or automatic shades on the outside of you glass walls of your bedroom, to keep it cool when the sunrays are directly falling on the glass and heating the room.

Kriz and your vlogs are therapy. ❤️

We live for this new editing skilzzz 👏🏻❤️

Grabe the editing, the intro, everything has greatly improved! Kudos, engr! Happy birthday!

just put an awning and have the glass tinted .Its an easy fix. I learned a lot. If the tiles are really sharp use a sanding block to blunt the sharp edge of the tile. Dont sand the top part just the protruding edge

Parang nakakatakot naman mag bahay, imagine, yung skypod napag planuhan na ng mabuti pero may mga regrets padin.

Okay lang yan there's no such thing as 100% perfect house

Nakakatuwa na you're being honest sa flaws ng sarili mong design. Sobrang ina idolize na kita ngayon sr. Slater

It’s truly hard to maintain a modern house. Parang ayaw mo na lang gamitin yung rooms para hindi madumihan. 😆

that's a learning process, so thankful for sharing it honestly so that viewers could somehow anticipate things and prevent them when they plan to do their own house na. hoping for more vlogs on pros and cons pa on house construction, Engineer! thanks!

There is no slater vlog that i dont like talaga. Very informative, honest, down-to-earth ng mga vlogs nyo po PLUSSSSS the cinematography and background music are really 👌👌👌 more power to u po!

I'm planning to buy and build my own home in the next two years, your vid is informative 👍 Thanks! 😊

Love the SKYPOD even if it's not perfect. 😊 Happy birthday, Mr. Slater! 🎊🥳🎉

Hi! Just wanna ask this: Do you ever consider having a second floor in the Skypod? Maybe in the future when your family gets bigger? 😊 Im a fan since PBB days and now a huge fan of Miss Kryz ❤

Happy Birthday, Engr. Have a good one! God bless.

The Skypod still Awesome Love it wish i have one too ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

quality of the videos just keeps getting and better 🥺💕

1. Did you install solar panels and storage batteries? 2. There are plastic films for windows to sun heat by 80-90%.

Put some planter trellis with wheels in front of the sun exposed window walls. Maybe use white bougainvillea background with contrasting colors of red and maybe peach. This could be rolled out of the way around noon. You may need to have these custom made to function well, or maybe huge trellis doors mounted to a deeply embedded concrete pole. I'm wondering why you don't move the shades to the bottom of those windows. I imagine you could cut an inch or two off those tiles and put a black tile border or grout surround. You might be able to rout a small convex groove at the joints to eliminate the visible discrepancy that is caused by the the tiles being so close. I don't know if a router bit can withstand the hardness of those tiles, even with water cooling.

Ang ganda ni Kryz dito! 😍 super effortless. She's pretty already sa vlogs nya, pero today's different. So relaxed and soft.

Nice edit wow really show your style!

Coffee Break has become one of my favourite songs this lockdown

Really like the outro “See you Slater!”

Thanks for sharing your regrets! I find this very helpful.

*Sir, can you vlog about your steel fence? I was intrigued.. at first glance, I thought it was 'hammer down' by an equipment like same manner with pile driving, Thanks!*

Happy bday sir slater... Im a fan of yours.. i just want to share some of my knowledge in concern with your hot room.. i recommend to change your fixed windows to jalousie, same in your living room so that hot air will be blown out the space bcos high air goes up... adding overhang will also work or a trellis or an arbor... please consider sun path for the dimension of overhang By the way im an arch. By profession and i love your house..

I LOVE THE I'LL SEE YOU SLATER OUTRO HAHAHA IT'S SO WITTY! WHY DON'T YOU HAVE 1M SUBS THO. YOUR CONTENTS ARE BOMBS!

Lovely house 😍. Putting in skylights in the closet space would probably of made it brighter without compromising on the storage space.

Im not an architect nor a designer by profession but i learnt a lot while we are building our house. Functionality and practicality must comes first before design. Maliit lang bahay nmin at ako lang nagdesign by grabbing inspiration online.😅 Since nanggaling ako sa bahay n malaki i realized gaano sya kahirap linisin kaya we decided to make it small and simple. Nilakihan n lng nmin bintana with screen para pasok p din hangin since masarap hangin sa bukid. 😊 Marami din nabago as the construction goes on specially the budget 🤣...but for me whatever your house is made of, what matters most is you can still make it a home. 😘

Ito yung reality na talagang kahit professional/s may mistake pa din when designing. Kaya napaka importante talagang magkaroon ng proper conceptualization until ma-turn over ang project, na kailangan habang nasa planning process palang, nakikita na yung mga possibilities lalo na pagdating sa users. :) Kudos sa Skyfam! Napakaraming learnings. :)

Happy Birthday Engr. Slater Young wish you and your family good health, keep safe and more power to your channel. Keep uploading videos which are very useful for us.

I agree with you Slater. Thank you for your recommendations. I Appreciated you alot. I'll try your recos especially the "Solar outdoor light". :)

0:28 Would you look at that transition! 👌

Happy birthday, Engr. Slater!! 🤩🎉

Yep, ganun din turo sa tropical architecture subject namin Malaki solar heat gain knowing that full glass yung room, Plants can help in cooling down, and extending the overhang,too. :) The pool also constributes to the cooling, so if the pool was somehow extended around the room, mas mababawasan yung init, :)

Happy Birthday Engr. Slater! Continue inspiring us 💗

I love this. We learn things from mistake. Keep it up Mr. Slater

I agree on the window opening the upper portion ng wall. Hot air rises cool air sinks passive cooling principle!

I agree with Slater about having too much lights being warmer and it's not good for one's bags & shoes👛👠👜👢 But, how about using brighter ones or diffusers😊

Thanks for generously sharing your experiences.

Nakaka-good vibes yung vid. Very chill at ganda ng aura ni Slater. Ganda din ng editing.

A heart from an engineer could inspire/motivate an aspiring engineer 🥺🥺🥺

no offense meant. just my observation. a lot of house designers focus on aesthetics instead of functionality (specially with regard to green planning - like wall to floor glass walls. initially, it looks "elegant" but it acts like a magnifying glass. it intensifies the heat from the sun. or when you have neighbors nearby, the first thing homeowners do is cover the glass walls or windows with blinds or curtains. the blinds/curtains block the view, air, and light.)

Happy birthday Slater, hello SKY fam!

Salute to you both at least everyone knows that nothing is perfect in this world. Just be content & happy of what one have while working for the better. 👍💗

Thank you Slater, inspired to build my family home now. Happy New Year from PNG 🇵🇬

Happy Birthday sir slater, more blessings and videos to come. Keep safe always. 😊

yah! yun din una ko naisip hindi kaya masyadong mainit yung area kung puro glass.. but definitely there will be remedy to those regrets.. hehe.. but your house is one of the ideal and sobrang naamaze ako first time i saw it in archi lian’s vlog.😊☺️plus yung location super love it!..

I idolize you sir engr. for accepting your mistakes, small details lang nman.. 👍

Grabeh super yaman! super blessed nyo po! how big is your house maaliwalas talaga..

Waaa, this is the video that u want to watch just to feel relaxed and educated at the same time.

I love Sir Slater and Maam Kryzzz❤️❤️❤️ You two are super adorable with Scottie boo😘

God is good, all the time. Life is not easy without him. Be bless and Merry Christmas. 👍✌️

for the kdrama fans out there, sir slater looks like our Han Ji Pyeong. huhu
