PLEASE do more analysis videos like this! I loved it!
Agreed! Btw, this building is far from an eyesore to me.
In Texas we call these type buildings "barndomeniums" which means it looks like an agricultural out building using inexpensive materials on the outside but it's finished out like a house on the inside. Part barn / part really cool house.
more square footage for a lower cost
For anyone wondering- the house was built for £559,000 which is $708,600.
Thanks - was wondering when Daniel said "on a very tight budget"..... then again for London that is a tight budget for a family home!
I think that figure is the land purchase and the construction of the house, not just the construction cost.
@@cnut4563a hmmm maybe, the price was listed as "contractor price" which makes me feel like it doesn't include the land, but likely does include the architect cost.
There is no way that price includes the land in that area of London. Other smaller houses in that area are selling for £775k.
@@bnelkinChatGPT says it includes only the design and construction expenses.
It’s £3k/sqm that’s very expensive for a house that looks very low quality. I guess the custom technics must be a part of it but they could’ve build something with better finishes with that.
Wold love to revisit this building in a couple of years to see if it really functions the way they hoped more videos like this please 😀👍😀
Good idea, would be interesting to see if the design worked as planned; and ways to improve it.
Pretty interesting to see the south facing greenhouse facade and passive ventilation, obviously taken from Earthships and implementing it into a building that's much easier to integrate into a tight city lot.
Yes I was thinking the same. Plastic urban earthship except without the self-sustainability.
Love this house (except the accessibility) and love your video. More of this Daniel please. This type of content is perfect to discover and explain architecture. Bravo
I didn't see anything about how the atrium would be shaded in the summer. I imagine the solar gain would be huge if there is nothing to stop the atrium from baking in the sun all day.
Yes, it would be deadly under a high Australian summer sun, but the house is in London, so the stack ventilation is probably sufficient to draw the heat out and cool air from the garden in. The dining area might be a bit bright and exposed in the middle of the day, but the rest of the house should be fine. The rest of the year it would be lovely.
Well explained, Daniel! Yes, it would be nice if we could hear you describing other buildings in the future! Happy Christmas to you and your family xx
Can't believe it got planning
Nothing says "we pay other people to clean and maintain our home" like a multistory greenhouse with fifteen foot curtain 'walls' on rails.
Yes, I thought that!! Those curtains are totally impractical. They would become stained and dirty fairly quickly and the height of them and the volume of fabric would mean immense effort to take them down and clean them. A draught would have them blowing and flapping everywhere. And how are the bulbs changed over the stairwell and high ceilings?Scaffolding? How are the bamboos maintained, trimmed, fed, watered. Is the dead plant debris easily accessible?This is a great idea on papers and Architects will drool over it, but it’s not practical. I notice the trendy practice of not using handrails on the walls. Great for getting walls covered in hand marks.
Tbf, at least in terms of dust, the plants and proper ventilation will help. But I can agree that this, as well as any other fairly big home, would be a pain in the ass to clean which is why I wouldn't be surprised if the family doesnt clean. themselves.
Thank you for your detailed explanation of Green House.
Yes, more like this please!!! And also more Architects Redesign series. One of my favoritess of the channel. thank you Daniel ❤ Merry Christmas
this was really interesting! I'd seen an article on the build but not understood quite what was so cool about it - and your explanation was great. Would love to see more
Love this. Its alwas really interesting and enlightening to understand what goes into these amazing buildings. Discovering what the achitects and developers were thinking about, what were their contraints and how they solve problems and introduced new concepts. Thes types of builds and breakdowns are waay more interesting than "this house costs 10 Billion Dollars " type fo videos. Please do more. Nice one and thanks!!
That was very interesting. I would instinctively have called it an eyesore because I recoil from something so different stuck in the middle of traditional brick houses. On its own in a field - absolutely fine. But explaining the rationale made me re-think. I’m still not totally sure about it in that environment but it does seem a really interesting and practical design for a new-build conurbation.
Thank you for posting this. Very interesting to see and learn about
Polycarbonate does not age well in the sun. It should yellow like the plastic headlights of an older car that's parked outside.
Interesting thanks for sharing
Here it has been treated to avoid that and extend its life. Once it has lived its lifespan of 20-30 years it will simply be replaced which will be cheap and quick and easy to do
It will be UV stabilised to prevent that. It's used successfully in Australia which has far higher levels of UV than London.
I saw this featured elsewhere and loved it. Thanks for explaining its features.
Thanks for an awesome year of informative videos. You’re one of my inspirations for starting my own YT channel this year. Cheers and thanks 🍻🎉 May you have a prosperous new year 😊
I love it! Yes, more please.
I love this analysis - subscribed
Loved it. More please!
Brilliant content, well presented. Hopefully you do more breakdowns on cost effective sustainable architecture. This video made me a subscriber.
amazing home....Merry Christmas!
Thank you for this architectural breakdown! It gives me many ideas that are useful.
Loved this and would love to see others like it. Reminds me of Grand Designs, which I love.
this was really interesting. Thanks!
I really like this innovative home. And yes please to more videos like this.
Love this video! Please do more analysis like this 🤍🤍✨✨
Yes please do more like this!
Hey Kathryn 🌹🌹
How are you doing??
That was a wonderful video!
Hey Gregory 🌹🌹
How are you doing??
My daughter and I really like listening to your reviews of other people's work.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed your breakdown Daniel. More please!
This was fantastic, more please!
Really interesting! Would love more of these types of videos!
Yes more videos like this one please. That is an amazing price for this house.
Fascinating! Keep them coming...
This was fascinating! Thank you for sharing this award and going through the why's for the home it was awarded to. 🙏
Yes please, more.
Very good video. Thanks
THIS NEEDS SO MUCH MORE VIEWS WTH
Great analysis. Would love to see more videos like this 🎉
Beauiful and very interesting analysis. I would love to see more videos like this in the future
I think it's interesting to see something new as "how it's always been done" might not always be the best way to do something. Loved the analysis Daniel!
Thus was awesome, more like this!
I would be really, really surprised if that house isn't far too hot in summer. I work in a UK building designed with glazed atria and a ducted passive ventilation system. The room I work in has huge south facing glazing. The interior temperature of the building is unbearable for three months of the year, with temperatures regularly reaching into the early 30 degrees C. The open floor plan, and the planting between the building and the polycarb, and the slight overhangs might reduce overheating somewhat here, but I don't think it will solve the problem. There's lots of thermal mass in the floor here which is good if an only if you can stop sunlight getting to it and baking the concrete, meaning there is no relief from the heat even at night. An Islamic riad is traditionally an open courtyard, but this has a huge glass skylight getting direct sun all summer long. The convection effect will not work as a result because even with some openable windows I suspect this will actually heat the shadier areas rather than cool them.
Summers in London are now often seeing high 30 and even 40+ degrees C days. I think architects, planner and the construction industry really need to acknolwdge that passive cooling systems are no longer sufficient in the changing climate. Contemporary buildings can perform worse than period properties because they often lack cross-ventilation and high ceilings (not the problem with this building, of course) and are over glazed to the south with short or no overhangs or externall shuttters. Obviously, air conditioning does mean using more energy in the summer, but ultimately a cleaner energy grid should compensate for this. Proposed legislation to set a maximum workplace temperature of 30 degrees C would be great, this will force action to be taken to mitigate over heating. Improved insulation in newbuiltds and retrofitting older buildings is great for efficience and thermal comfort in the winter, but there is a serious problem in summer that needs to be addressed. People are already suffering and even dying during heatwaves and it's not acceptable.
It's not made of anything concrete from I know.
Im portuguese, I also have a riad (closed) and house temperatures in the summer are like 22ºC max.
There's a big difference between two-story glazing (or a large window,) and passive solar, which is what this is. The only way the substrate would retain the heat is if the sun was directly on it, which it is in the winter but not in the summer. And this riad is designed the way it is with venting to allow the hot air to escape but also to keep air flowing. It's a brilliant design.
The ground floor looks like a polished concrete slab to me.@@benblarney
What appears to be a polished concrete ground floor beneath the skylight is in direct sun, concentrated by the glass, all day. some of the skylight windows are designed to open, but as I say I am sceptical this will be sufficient in the frequent heatwaves London gets now. I think it is a lovely house and I hope the owners are very happy and comfortable there. I don't think that these kinds of passive solar designs are going to obviate the need for air conditioning in the UK. @@LaughingInTiny
I love a lot of things about the home, especially the goals it sets out to achieve. But I am concerned about the plentiful use of plastic in the building process of a house designed to be environmentally friendly, especially because the plastic may turn yellow, and thus many would set some plan to replace the polycarbonate, and what happens then? Will the polycarb be able to survive for a hundred years in good condition as a building block of a house? I can see how it would be good if we are using recycled polycarbonate, i.e. reusing materials that would ALREADY go to damaging our environment, but I just don’t see a world where there won’t be construction of new plastics.
I know this was a poorly formulated comment but I would love to hear some other opinions about it, Merry Christmas!🎄
We had freak golf ball sized hail stones come through our polycarbonate roof less than a fortnight after it was fitted. Overall I'm not sure if I agree this house is particularly environmentally friendly.
its possible that the reduction of weight is so drastic that even using new stock polycarb it could still be significantly lower in carbon footprint than equivalent traditional materials. would need to do a pretty detailed analysis to tell either way, but on intuition its probably quite a bit better (going by pure tons of CO2 emitted)
Single use plastic is what’s so bad for the environment since plastic lasts so long. Using plastic as a building material makes far more sense and is an appropriate use for a long lasting material.
This polycarb has been specially treated to increase its lifespan and slow down the yellowing effect. It could last anywhere from 20-30 yers before needing to be replaced. Replacing it will be incredibly cheap and easy to do, with the old panels being able to be recycled and used for a variety of other household items etc.
Amazing house. Love it
Absolutely amazing video, more breakdowns would be great!
❤ great video
I appreciate the breakdown and I do agree it's a great house in many ways. It's just an absolute eyesore.
I love that house, amazing open space. Yes show me more.
Hey Kathy 🌹🌹
How are you doing??
Love it! Thanks for the commentary too :)
This is excellent!
Hello, please provide us with more content like this. This is perfect for understanding of interesting building and technology.
This is an awesome video. Next level. Please do more.
Thanks for your perspective on this. The exterior is pretty ugly to me, and the upstairs hallway seems too industrial. Despite that, super cool house with lots of thought for the long term.
I love analysis video like this
Perfect! I love building like this, live in one of these would be great!
Please do other videos like this, on a variety of real estate and apartments --- condos in high rises, single family homes, townhomes, etc. I enjoy hearing what you have to say........would be nice to hear more about up-keep and security needed.
Loved this review kind of video. More like this pls
So plastic is the new eco material? I don't really get it. The plants are cool, though. Interesting video, thanks!
This was interesting. Yes, I'd like to see more breakdown videos in the future.
A bit minimalist for my taste but a gorgeous high performing building regardless. What was this "small" budget?
I came to ask this as well, wondering what kind of home could be designed using the same materials, but perhaps a smaller scale to make it even more affordable.
And budget is one thing when building/buying, but something else when we're talking about running costs.
yes! more like this..
This house is pretty amazing 😮
I’ll love to see more architectural breakdowns like this, please 🙏
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE PLEASE
Amazing. Love your reporting as usual. How about the durability of the polycarbonate panels? Is it a 10 or 100 year cycle (ball park)?
30 years max.
That's an awesome and well-designed house for sure. Would love to live in it.
Yes!! More analysis pls
great vid. very interesting
please more vids like this one!
Yes please 👍 love this content
Wow!! How practical - a house that is designed to work with, rather than against, it’s setting
This is a remarkable home. At first I was suspicious but I was quickly convinced of its brilliance. My one critique is with the staircase. The homeowners chose to paint the staircase green. Normally, I would've chosen black but let's go with green. This hue of green isn't correct. This is more of a "puke green" or "prison green." An altogether better green would be "celadon green." Done correctly, celadon green is the most beautiful color of all. A great celadon has a beige putty base with equal parts green and blue, and balanced out with warm grey. A great celadon is confounding, impossible to pin down as to what color it actually is. Most importantly, celadon is super elegant. Celadon has a pulse. It breathes. Celadon is a color best expressed over a thousand years in Chinese porcelain. My other critique about the staircase is with the vertical spindles. They are too thick, again making them feel like prison bars. I would've preferred to use cables, given the staircase a lighter, softer feel and would've better blended into the architecture. Other than the staircase, this is a perfect home. Astonishing.
Functionality 10/10, aesthetics , there’s ways to improve, maybe a darker translucent façade; and the green railing… must be different options at least for the color. ❤️
Is it cheaper than the average alternative?
So when it's cloudy in the winter (which I'm sure rarely happens in London) there's no sun warming up this house with 0 insulation, and in summer the lowest temperature you'll ever have inside is the ambient temperature.
Let me guess, not a single engineer was part of this houses design and the judges were very proud of themselves for picking the "green" option that looks the most "unique".
Thanks for this video. What is the price comparison between CLT and steel of the same size and strength?
I’m in love. What a clever design
Abolutely loved this type of video. Verry informative, interesting and relaxing.
I can see how this is a reinterpretation is made suitable for a warmer, dryer and sunnier London. This has been so interesting to watch
Fantastic
This is really cool. I particularly like the integration of the vegetation into the functionality and purpose of the building. It really brings home the functional uses of a house. I would be interested to know if that cladding really works on its own or if that CLT has any additional treatment to sustain and protect it from environmental damage.
And, if not CLT, are there are any reasonable alternatives which are relatively environmentally friendly whilst not being too costly? Or even cheaper?
More videos like this one!
The Riads are my favorite architecture and Biophilic design is also a must for me. I LOVE this house. I had the same idea, been talking about it for years, but I’m just a lay person. I think the upstairs could use a little more interest.
Please do more and add your touch for different IECC climate zones.
That's a very ingenious design. I could see that become more common in a few years.
we want more
Pure orgasmic integrated design, the type of stuff I will do in future God Willing.
1:09 is that an Apple studio display in the background? Did you make the switch? If not, what is it?
Thanks for covering architecture in mass media, some things that were missed: 1. "double skin" facades have been used for decades 2. "passive ventilation" doesn't provide enough fresh in most situations (winter or no wind in the summer) 3. I think that it's (sadly) still difficult to get a mortgage on CLT-built homes. Still a useful video in overall though.
Thank you Daniel...I find it more attractive than most...solar and thermal are missing...water collection?
I love that house. ❤🎉
I would like to see more of these styles of video as having it clearly explains how good design makes it a good home. Would be interesting to hear how other homes are designed to meet different briefs and what makes them so brilliant. I also would like to hear more about climate design as it can be interesting how you can adapt living spaces to it, such as the design of housing in Chandigarh, India, which also harnessed light in a similar way but with brick screens instead
Looks like Daniel got into Apple Ecosystem with the Apple Studio purchase!
Can you share what bracelet you have for your watch?
You didn't say a word about how it's heated, which is much more of a concern in London than the maybe few days when it hits 30+ degrees.
Cross laminated timber is timber with glue. Is that really sustainable healthy and recycable?
This was so interesting Daniel, thank you for taking the time to break down the elements for us. Definitely interest in learning more about new alternative architectural options!
