Love the urban oasis concept! My fav. is Madrid Atocha Station :)

Congrats on getting Helvetia House featured on Grand Designs Transformations! (ABC TV, S1-Ep4)

@morneschroeder6255 Год назад

Great video Kevin! Love the honest comment from Andrew " Sucking our egos in, ...and trying to use what already here"...I wish that more architects would embrace this approach!

@kelseyalvesdorosario4422 Год назад

Impressive on all levels, design, aesthetic, practically. What a beautiful home. Originally, I came to the channel for the architecture and am staying for the banter. I was at the NGA and didn't want to intrude on your family time, Kevin. I wanted to say thank you so much for introducing me to the finer details of architecture.

@Archimarathon Год назад

Oh when was this? A few months ago? I was showing through my aunt from USA.

@timoraunela8566 Месяц назад

That was absolutely gorgeous ❤. The pond, the gardens… to have such a nugget of paradise gold in that urban environment. Lucky owners and good job.

@sallycasas4170 Год назад

That was an amazing tour of an Historical Home artistically built into an Oasis in an Urban neighborhood. 5*😁"Hey don't touch me!"😂😎😷🙋‍♀️

@Appolonia1964 Год назад

Love the entrance with the high windows and the garden with the fish 🐟 🐠🐟

@michelcuypers9456 Год назад

Google street view even allows a sneak peek at the building site ;). What a treat for detailling nerds! Craqueur

@MonsieurChangify Год назад

Quite a stunning little urban gem! Very clever use of space where space is so limited. I love the cabinetary details the chamfered trims around the glazing and doors. The entry garden portal is a true oasis and really doubles the size of the building even though square footage has been removed. Chain-link very playfully used, urban yet elegant, love it! Bravo.

@joshuamcbeath69 Год назад

Best ever! Thanks @archimarathon and @maynardarchitect for the opportunity to tour the house and be apart of the video :) !! and for anyone reading this, believe me, the house is SO much better in real life. The level of detail, both liveable and in ornamentation, is incredible. The feeling IRL of this project is revitalising and rejuvenating. I love it :)

@teresitastidem2846 Год назад

Lovely...I like taking what's old and making new again. In the cities that's what's need. Instead of tearing down old structures. It's wonderful what you have done. Beautiful home.

@mncjeff Год назад

That was a very interesting tour! Very tasteful, love to details and lots of greenery!! I like the enhancements of the timber wood all over and the endless storage solutions. But once in the master bedroom I was quite taken by the “green carpet” combined with the pink duvets on the bed 😅 interesting! Well done Andrew, my thumbs 👍🏼👍🏼 are both up!

@lvchlvn Год назад

Amazing film, Kevin & incredible imagination from the AMA team. It never ceases to impress me the power of architecture and how it can transform a home. A true delight to the senses, and to the community of Fitzroy.

@totallybtm Год назад

i couldnt get enough watching both, especially Andrew. Keep it up dynamic duo.

@karuna2000 Год назад

I appreciate this video SO much! No annyoing background music, the camerea is not crazy and the way this man speaks is very soothing and organic. Great video, great architectural job. Thanks.

This was built by Weiss Builders of West Footscray - well done to Christopher Weiss and his amazing team.

Magnificent use of space.

@gabybordino6024 Год назад

Beautiful, beautiful house! It´s not easy to deal with existing constructions, not to mention to follow a code and heritage protection adequately, and still have amazing new spaces. The details are superb And wow, the video at the beginning really gives the vibe of the place

@MM-sf3rl Год назад

One of the best houses I’ve every see. Sumptuous! Great job!

What a lovely way to incorporate beauty into urbanization. Here in NY ppl are amazing at finding teeny spaces for greenery. ~This is one STUNNING revision.

@HugoBrown Год назад

I love it when heritage / older buildings are renovated with contempoary style but at sametime overall it still feels like heritage place, I loved the central entrance and the use of light, I also love the vege garden al though NGL I probably would get over climbing those stairs haha. Great work team and so glad this showed on my youtube, definetly gonna sub for more content..

@oranuchchatsrinopakun1829 Год назад

well done gents. Great house design and green spaces..Cheers from NYC!!

@svetlana-1970 Год назад

Многие старые дома в Австралии очень удачно модернизируются. В данном проекте много интересных дизайнерских решений: от входной зоны с рыбками и лестницы с ящиками - до эксплуатируемой крыши с огородиком. Очень мило, практично и весело. 👍❤🇷🇺

@old0range Год назад

Thanks for featuring / sharing. Inspiring what you guys are able to do - this is an awesome example of how constraints / restrictions can lead to some amazing and innovative design. Well done!

@urbancolab Год назад

Ama always bringing the thoughtful details and not always with expensive material. The chain link garden is beautiful.

@Mypink11 Год назад

Heres another video driving home that fact that every house needs an atrium. Also the in timber glazing is amazing, be trying that. 😘

Love it! Adore all the thought put in to give light, the use of new material for the main bedroom terrace and redistribution of the house. Excellent ideas for everybody even those with green fingers.

@jaimedavis439 Год назад

as an american in love with the aussie design aesthetic, this house takes the cake for me. the very best of asian ethos, both old & new, as seen through the Australian gaze. skillfully executed with timeless finishes. kudos. i cant help but giggle when he says something about letting go of ego....that is the last impression i get from this man.

@mirakarchitect7945 Год назад

Very impressive. 🔥🙌🏽💯 More greens, more natural light, more details, etc. Little thoughts often neglected in design and contruction which are really major thoughts that makes the whole thing.

@jedzheng Год назад

Well done this is well thought out design with amazing details for the clients who must be quite involved during the design process

@jamzyhuh2597 Год назад

Great use of space, smart curation of the building codes. Reminds me of Robin Boyd’s Walsh house with the programs layout. Building. Garden void. Building

@robertrusso877 Год назад

What a great home and use of space. I really love that you didn’t tear it down and build new. Here in the states it seems to be the way because “builders” don’t see things creatively and people tent to not use architects unless building new. I’m in the process of renovating my early 1900s cape and reusing as much as possible - salvaging pine floors and trim for cabinetry and using the broken plaster as a wall treatment like mosaic tile for texture in specific areas. Oh, and I subscribed!

@debzeb6899 Год назад

Fabulous!!!!!!

Didn’t want the tour to finish , what happened to seeing the front ground floor rooms. Subscribed

@Archimarathon Год назад

Privacy. But at least we did our job so you can understand the whole building and know what you have missed out on. Try that on other channels of just pretty, disconnected visuals.

@jamzyhuh2597 Год назад

17:36 but it worked so well. Sometimes the person who whispers in a room of shouting people is easier to hear. 👌

@Nynke_K Год назад

Love it! Those study spaces look especially perfect. The front rooms on the ground floor are kids' bedrooms, I take it?

@Archimarathon Год назад

No kids

@joselito7776 Год назад

Very well considered, light, airy, and more importantly, not precious and even playful. I hated those hunter green floors in the master's though.

@steffietee740 Год назад

Bottom line,...what was the total cost/expense to renovate, design this property into what it is now?? Its utterly incredible, really is. Congratulations!!🤩

@melaniamonicacraciun9900 Год назад

Mother Earth's suffering terribly, only smart architecture solutions are our salvation friends, saving the water and use it for bringing down the heat creating oxygen factories and spectacular gardens to enjoy... yeah, the best welfare strategy, what is good for environment is good for all of us, a different way to enjoy our modern assets. You are doing a great job indeed

@Dev1nci Год назад

I love your very honest materials like the GMS. May I ask what wood you used around the openings?

@madlove2339 Год назад

beauty

@Kiwi-Macca Год назад

Well done. Great use of existing build. We missed the two front rooms?

@Archimarathon Год назад

Yes we did. The fact that you know we missed 2 rooms means that we did our job properly in orienting you as the viewer. Most other videos don't do that. Just snippets of disconnected footage

@andrewburns9480 Год назад

Helvetia: Latin for Switzerland!

@SirJasperKCMG Год назад

I love this house. May I ask...In total how much did it cost to buy and improve the property?

@peterpiper5300 Год назад

would have been great if the pond in the entryway was recycled greywater.

@hiltong9481 Год назад

The pond is filled with water from the rainwater tank. Pond water effluent in turn is used to water plants.

どうもありがとうございます。 Sounds great!

@epvs8373 Год назад

Buenas noches: Creo desde hace tiempo que en Australia estáis haciendo cosas muy interesantes a nivel arquitectónico sería muy importante compartir con el resto del mundo, vuestra visión. Reciclar, rehabilitar, vuestras normativas legales, precios de construcciones y temas técnicos que nos pueden ayudar a los profesionales y a los clientes. Me encantaría que el planeta hablase un solo idioma pero mientras se funda una Interlingua ¿por qué no poner subtítulos en español? A cambio os regalamos la palabra PATIO. Gracias.

@Archimarathon Год назад

Subtitles in Spanish are in most of our educational videos

Cieszę się że ja nie muszę zdejmować butów gdy przychodzę na jakieś małe (czy większe) spotkanie do domu rodziny czy znajomych ani też nie muszę tego robić przed wejściem do ich łazienki. Oh jak mi dobrze, oh jak się cieszę...

@WelcomeToSteph Год назад

Why do Melburnians pronounce Fitzroy with two equal syllables 'FITZ-ROY'? I would say "FITZ-roy', emphasis on the Fitz. Have been keen to see more of this project since I first saw it under construction on Instagram. The detailing is immaculate and enviable and at a level I hope to reach one day. Outstanding.

@Archimarathon Год назад

Fitz-Roy is historically 2 part word meaning son of a king.

@Archimarathon Год назад

Yes we didn’t film 2 front rooms downstairs

@Archimarathon Год назад

The fact that you know we have missed 2 more bedrooms means we are doing our job properly in orienting you the viewer. Most other videos do't do that. They are just endless disjointed snippets.
