The orange windows remind me of the 70’s, my family moved into a new area and people were painting the trim around their exterior windows colours like orange and yellow and green while the house was brown siding. It is a pet peeve of mine when people get rid of garages or just fill their garages with junk they hardly use while their second biggest financial investment is sitting outside exposed to the elements and vulnerable to car thieves.

@hollyobaby6949 Месяц назад

Love the 70’s color palette. Hate when people use their garage for junk. My car has been broken into (I don’t have a garage and I drive a Subaru so they just took some change, chargers, and a vape). I understand when people use their garage for bikes, tools, storage for season decorations, maybe a deep freezer, or a washer and dryer. If your garage is free of that stuff or has plenty of space for your car and you drive a nicer car than me I definitely think that takes precedent.

@debmacie1612 Год назад

The house is very nice, and I think they will enjoy it. But when an architect is given a budget and they accept that budget they need to stick to it. All these types of shows always end up over budget, always.

@johnceragioli9671 Год назад

@debmacie1612. As an Architect myself there is another side to the story. Often clients program requirement’s do not meet up with their budgets. I’m sure in the discussions (that we do not see on the show) have happened behind the scenes.

@mariedriskell8752 Год назад

Also, the "pink" ....how about a light "green"???

@patricksalta5362 Год назад

ALL renovation projects are never spot on the budget.

@debmacie1612 Год назад

@@johnceragioli9671 I am sure that these shows go for the drama. In real life I have done a couple of remodel projects myself and I always hold back 10-15% for contingency that I do not tell the contractor/designer about. I know I have it when they come to me and need more money. Usually my folks are pretty spot on and I have never had any dramatic surprises like on these shows. But I am more realistic than these folks, I guess.

@RababHussainA Год назад

as someone who has had several renovations done as a client and not an architect, it is understood that these projects will ALWAYS go over budget. there are always expenses that you will be unable to account for ahead of time. it works both ways, i guess. clients should give a budget a bit lower than what they can afford, and architects/builders/designers should plan around 85-90% of the budget given.

@k21bg 11 месяцев назад

Shouldn't architects also listen to what their clients want? Example the polygon walls, the accent colors. He can just ask them what they like

@hollyobaby6949 Месяц назад

I agree. I also think the pink is a terrible color if you share the room with your husband who isn’t as daring with colors as this architect is. It seems cruel. I like pink but I’m an adult. It’s not what I want on my walls.

@mauriceplowman4129 Год назад

The whole idea of these videos is to see and listen to George talk about the work that is being done. With this in mind, why the overpowering music track. Soft, sensible music would allow the viewer to hear what is being said and would make the video more enjoyable to watch. STOP WITH THE LOUD MUSIC.

I cannot understand why the glorious double height region with its spectacular lighting and large window would not be the dining room. George asks the couple to imagine how dreary the kitchen would be with a flat ceiling, but the same question arises for me regarding the dining room when I see how confined the family looks at the table. PS I would be constantly terrified that the kids would climb over the glass mezzanine barrier.

@np7360 10 месяцев назад

Why on earth is the architect making the decisions on colors? He should be suggesting things, pushing them just that bit to be bold but no massively pushing them based on his own likes... it's the clients house not his! Instead of the pink they dont like (and I agree) there are a tonne of other amazing bold color choices that they would have loved

He offered to repaint it himself if they didn't like the color. That's reasonable.

@marias5230 Год назад

I'm disappointed that they didn't trust the architect's original vision at all. They knew they weren't applying for a regular renovation program! If they had gotten permission for that renovation, the end result would have been stunning. They could have even sold the house for a big profit, and bought a regular 4 bedroom house they seem to want.

@MsYingyang2 Год назад

I am also disappointed in the owners lack of excitement. They say they want cool but are not open to color. They worry too much about fitting in with the rest of the boring neighborhood. This was their chance to spread their wings with an architect who was making plans at a fraction of the cost for them. The wife is unappreciative.

@jmfs8738 Год назад

@a.westenholz4032 Год назад

Everyone seems to forget that the only thing they objected to was the shape of the cladding- they changed it from hexagon to square. It was the planning commission NOT them who forced the major change to the original plans, wanting the architect to resubmit plans that didn't too radically alter the character of the house from the rest of the neighborhood and to blend it in more with the already existing building. So it was the planning commission being conventional, which is what you'd expect. Sure they were nervous and unsure about a lot along the way, especially as they were going out of their comfort zones in a direction they couldn't quite envision and sometimes actually disliked, but every time except the cladding, they went with it.

@Amal_hope11 Год назад

@@fotter9567 Exactly. The couple are so confused about their own style, which is definitely neither cool nor quirky at all. They're scared of colors, don't wanna take the risk.

this architect was absolutely dreadful. he only did what he wanted. the bikes hung on a front wall must be the worst design idea ever. a double height room is dramatic; but , a dramatic kitchen ? ridiculous. all the high gloss white , sharp edges & color statement walls scream ," hotel/public office space". certainly not a "home". & having a single wall a feature color is not a plus. it's just lazy. this couple strike me as having been pushed into a house they did not want. i would sell & move. awful.

love the overall layout of the floor plan, but am not a fan of the black cladding and orange window frames outside, and the pink would just have to go! the overlook is interesting, but it is reticent of the long corridor between the garage and the house. but if the owners are comfortable with it, that is what really matters. I think they were just being polite tho, while having some regrets...

This renovation came way over budget! And that Architect is too imposing! He could have at least let the couple choose the colors they like instead of imposing that orange windows & pink walls. Maybe a bluish grey or a sage green would look better as accent colors. I like the black exterior finish though. But instead of a kichen, that space would be better as a Living Room. And that small overlooking balcony isn’t really necesaary. I would have elimintaed that. I doubt if they ever spend time on that desk in the corner.

@mmariemarkel7482 5 месяцев назад

This was my first time watching this show. As far as what was accomplished it's not at all my style, but it ended up pleasing the client, so my opinion doesn't count. One thing that was concerning was how far off budget it turned out, even though they had mentioned funds set aside for unexpected costs. The unexpected costs ate to be expected in any reno, but this seemed a bit excessive and didnt even include the architect that worked for free. The BIGGEST issue, for me, was how bloody loud the background music was. It was drowning out the commentary almost completely at times. As this was my first time watching, I don't know if it was just this episode, or not, but it really affected being able to follow at times for lack of hearing well what was said.

@SuperMan-xy8ui 11 месяцев назад

They really got a lot for only £90k, I’d imagine all the other neighbors would now want to copy it, the council already approved it. Great to have been able to increase the budget by 50% and that the architect forwent his fee, perhaps to be able to increase the scope of work and because of the exposure the show provided? The 4th bedroom is the living room? The pink should be the same hue as the orange to make the pink feel more that it belongs, too many homeowners make changes to designer plans that make it rather mediocre. A logical future improvement would be a half bath downstairs in the room off the kitchen that’s below the pink room, I believe now used as a kitchen extension and for the fridge. Maybe french balconies for the bedrooms on the back…

@localman12 11 месяцев назад

I didn't love it, I think that small front sitting room should have been wide open to the back sitting room, making one large living room. And that silly balcony, there is no reason to go on it and just look at a large, tall blank wall.
