GOLDEN VALE HOUSE

- Megalong Valley is characterised by its bold landscape, posing uninterrupted views of the Blue Mountains bushland. The journey to the site is always memorable, creating a unique experience each time you visit. Inspired by the very site it sits on, the built form holds an exceptional duality - it is bold in architectural expression yet grounded to the site by its materiality.
Primarily consisting of rammed earth, concrete, charred timber, and glass; the darker-toned materials allow the house to recede into the landscape, while the large glass openings can filter the golden light into internal spaces. Golden Vale is an inspiring piece of architecture that has a lasting impact on all. The site, the people, and the local community have been transformed by this project, becoming a memorable point of reference in Megalong Valley.

...connection to the landscape and an immense array of materials which are reactions to the site that it sits on.... wtf.
ikr😂
I have the same reaction to this “Archiispeak” bullshit 😂😂😂😂
Stunning house and setting, with beautiful videography 🙌🏼
Beautiful 😍
I took an architecture class so I'm no architect (and in isolation I love several features of this home) but it seems to me that this project cut down a large swath of trees and a structure with hard angles was plopped down on top...it does not seem to "blend in" with the environment rather it sticks out like a soar thumb. There is literally no landscaping that soften those harsh edges and materials....what am I missing?
You aren't missing anything. In fact I agree on all points you made. I sometimes wonder if there is something in the water at the art and design schools where the staff and students drink it, and end up loosing their ability to feel. This leads to a disconnect between them and others. Maybe it's the Frank Loyd Wright effect? Students of architecture can sometimes become so focused on the style FLW had, that they too in turn begin to make the same mistakes he made in all the residential builds he designed. It's beautiful to look at from the outside. But inside they’re a nightmare. He refused to listen to the people commissioning him to design a home for them. Each project became a structural representation of the issues that he was unwilling to address within himself, whilst needing to feed his massive ego. A textbook narcissist that couldn't relate to others, and the end product that was always over budget, and took far longer to complete than the dates he’d give. Resulting in buildings the owners found uninhabitable. Nobody wants to be completely exposed while they are sitting on the toilet, or getting in and out of the bath. How comfortable, and secure a feeling is this place going to inspire within the inhabitants, when the clearing that this glass box sits out in the middle of is surrounded by walls of forrest that they cannot see into, because of the stark contrast and lack of radiation to soften and blend the 2 together?
The materials are nice. Although rammed earth generally has more earth from the location in it's composition, to tie it into the landscape. Warming the look of the walls up a bit and creating that feeling that you’re in nature. So you wouldn't need to make a glass walled bathroom to feel "at one" with nature while you go #2.
I mean...........
A weekend retreat. How nice.
“Being a small and modest home….” WTF!! I really do like videos like this and watch lots of them but please cut the BS.
This is a beautiful second home probably owned by a very wealthy person with a very substantial construction cost per square meter. Admit that and let us enjoy the design but please don’t pretend that some how a home like this is attainable for the majority of the population of the world or that on ANY level it is modest.
:-)))))
Beautiful House and views!
Wow this is beautiful. That part of aus is amazing.
The editing style just like the local project 😂
It really seems like lovely house but good lord, have a listen to yourselves! Complete word salad. So distracting. Would have loved to hear more about the actual materials and sustainable features and see more of the house. Nice use of rammed earth.
Stunning ❤
Nice. Love the materials.
Amazing work. I love the materials!
Wow 😍 what a place to live
Pues a mi me gustó, lejos de tanta bulla de la ciudad, me quedé impresionada el concreto, que mezclan con la madera y el negro..los cuadros el mismo paisaje que rodea, lo primero cuando uno despierte será ese impresionante paisaje wow 😮..
amazing !
Beautiful home but... surrounded by a chain link fence??
Haven't you watched Last of Us?
Great work dude. I watched the whole thing!
Looking forward for more.
Honestly, have a look and a listen to how you present in this video. You both come across as a pair of programmed robots, reciting a script written by a mad scientist in a laboratory somewhere on another planet.
Mais vous etes si beaux si elegants que je ne saurais m'étonner de la beaute du projet architectural que vous portez ...Felicitations
✨ beautiful
Gorgeous
To je život!!!!!🎉❤❤
I would like to see more like a house tour to understand the feeling of living there, however looks interesting 🙂
Beautiful
I feel like an A24 horror film could be made here at this house. Beautiful btw.
It’s a beautiful home well done , but please don’t waffle on about feelings and emotions that don’t match the design. You narrate is a self importance tone and just sound stuck up. Let your work do the talking.
So humble
Architectural speacking you guys nailed it but I prefer higher places to have a home not a posible flood area... And prefer to think twice, build once for 3lifes and leave something behind
Отлично !
Very nice
A warm house. I only wish the director could allow the designers to speak more naturally. Instead robotically reading a cue card. Beautiful house non the less
Wwowww... 👍
more more more please. How high are the doors? its a beaut!
Is the distance of house from the forest in an open field an intentional design to avoid bushfire ? Just curious as it very open to open fields
Why so fast? Why three seconds to show the master bedroom ????
😍
beautiful design, in a completely wrong context/location 😕.. there's a total divorce between the house and the site, from my perspective.. and that's a shame..
✨👍🏆👍✨
If ChatGPT would design a house...
Some good landscaping would be nice.
They cut the trees 🤷🏽♂️ looks like so many 🤦🏾♂️
I think this clashes with the environment.
локация конечно настораживает, вокруг горы... в пост-апокалипсис еще пойдет, так одиноко, и уныло выглядит... но сам проект, супер! был бы этот дом на лужайке в горах или у моря
Like in the movie Ex Machina, where the guy live in the middle of nowhere.
Refined, but vacuous.
Fuki fuki. . .
The local program 😅
You mean, The Local Project channel?
Glass houses are scary.
This house is for architect's ambition, not for us...
too often, for my tastes,, architects take it too far with their less is more philosophy when they go overboard with concrete finishes, and lack of warm woods used.
U',ve just made me to buy lottery ticket with substancial cumulation 🤷 ... great project ... congrats !!!
So, how was it? Did you win?
Put it on mute. Blah blah.....senses....light....materiality....blah. Like the local project, they all sing from the same word salad book. Surely leave more trees, given the BAL rating or not.
Perhaps we can stop calling it the master and refer to it as the main bedroom. It would also seem that unless an architecturally designed house has a Tom Ford book in it it's not worth its salt! And were I to need a house built in the Blue Mountains I doubt if I would work with you two as you are both rather robotic. And that border fence.....in the middle of nowhere. Watch out for them dingoes.
This was great but your video coloring was sooo boring!
Realistically, there is no feeling to me that this design is connected to, submerged into, or inspired by the surrounding natural environment whatsoever. It looks like the house is just unceremoniously plopped in the middle of a dirt construction site/parking lot. The house itself, however, is certainly lovely enough on the interior, and the more distant views certainly are beautiful. But the home's actual incorporation into the immediate building site itself feels ham-fisted and unskillful - 'I'd like to have a free architecture. I’d like to have architecture that belonged where you see it standing, and was a grace to the landscape instead of a disgrace.' - Frank Lloyd Wright
Completly agree! If I was owning such piece of land in the nature, I would simply go enjoy my weekend there with an RV and not bulldoze the land to build a minimalist pretentious house 🤮
Totally agree. Architects always say, 'its connected to the landscape' blah blah blah. This is clearly not connected to anything. Nice enough design, but looks more like vanity project in a spare bit of land the owners have. Nothing remarkable about the building's language and form clearly doesn't follow function in this case. HARD PASS
They featured it before any landscaping was done - undersells the project as a result.
There wasn’t any bulldozing, it sits on a property that has been used as farmland for the last 150 years, and the a lot of the land in front of them is still used for farming, as they said in the video this land was used as a paddock to plate for the hydro majestic above them on the escarpment
