Photographer’s open-floor glass home perches over Canadian lake

- To create a photography studio with maximum daylight, Larry Williams built a glasshouse. Doubling as a boat garage (the lower floor), it hugs the lake's edge. Viewed from the inside, the outside world tumbles in: the wake of a powerboat ripples up to the window, kayakers wave as they pass, a child jumps from the dock.
Toward the back of the house, granite invades the view: the home is built on top of the Canadian Shield- a swath of ancient rock stretching across half of Canada. Williams speaks proudly of the 300 million-year-old limestone and 3 billion-year-old granite outside his door.
To heat and cool the home, architect Pat Hanson relied on a geothermal system: tubes of water snake into the lake to benefit from the lake floor’s nearly constant year-round temperature. In summer, the water in the closed-loop system is cooled by the lake and in winter it is warmed. The granite floor acts as a heat sink to slowly radiate the sun’s energy through the house during the evening. The white roof reflects light and heat to keep the place cool during summer.
To create a home inside four walls of glass, Hanson placed the domestic functions inside a floating cube supported by steel beams so as not to touch the walls. Downstairs, it houses the kitchen and guest bath and upstairs, an open bedroom. The stairway is bathed in Corian which continues upstairs with a Corian bathtub and bed structure doubling as sculpture. Large sliding fritted glass doors close to provide privacy for the mezzanine bedroom, though are typically left open to allow for natural ventilation.

I waited a long time to edit this one because I was afraid it would be misunderstood. I too love the cozy cottage feel, but at this location this home makes sense. From the inside, you don't notice the glass or steel beams supporting it, but you feel a part of the landscape. As we filmed, we could have been out on the dock watching my kids swim or sunning on the granite. The walls or any outdoor/indoor barrier nearly dissolve.
No need to justify. This is a thoughtfully planned and relatively modest home compared to the gross mansions going up across Ontario's cottage country.
New buildings are supposed to look as they are built today and can live hopefully a very long time.
I can never understand why building something to look as if it if 100 years old. Doesn't make any intellectual sense at all. Being one with nature has nothing to do with old looking architecture. I do respect some people like that style and I also like old buildings. But when building a new house...
I also sometimes see comments like "finally a house with personality" when the interior is cluttered with stuff.
Now see, thing is, some people doesn't need a lot of things. Some people doesn't need a lot of colour. They simply has a lower mental threshold. The interior still reflects more than well this person and probably has more character than the cluttered bohemian chic house often referred to as warm and personal.
One of the more Graceful & thoughtful executions of the glass house design.
His love of granite on the site & depending on the lighting, I bet he can create some stunning shots from the 'pod' of a treasured subject. Imagine sunrise & sunsets as daily cornerstones. The aurora or moon rise or timelapse of the milky way. This space is a photographers paradise indeed.
Laughing Man What’s the difference between this house and building a farmhouse in the same spot? They both still use up the space. I’d much rather live in this house than a 6,000 sq ft monstrosity.
You have a beautiful family. Your children are so fortunate to have you two parents. 🙏🏼
The way you film and let the owner guide us through their house makes it really feel like we're right there with you! You make it seem effortless and natural but I'm sure you've put a lot of thought behind it. A beautiful space, not sure about the toilet in the bedroom though.
So true.
Charles Street what he said!
I would love to be here during a big thunderstorm. You would feel like you’re outside. 😍
"we thought of everything" yet we decided to put a toilet in the middle of the bedroom ?
Not any weirder than putting a bathroom with every bedroom as some do : )
Bathroom!
Honestly that was their only mistake, they could have hide it like they did with the shower
Now I'm thinkig the guy may have a fetish of some sort
Open view pooping is pretty relaxing.... best one you'll take is in the woods.
I really liked the house. They went all the way to hide oven, and other things (which I admire), and then they put toilet in the middle of the bedroom. Why?
It's not in the bedroom.
@@ChrisPage68 how would you call the room with bed in it?
@@9rafaela9 I guess bathroom in this case...
@@9rafaela9 Roombed
Beautiful place but I’d rather not have a toilet next to my bed/so exposed.
They hid the oven but not the toilet...
Nice house. I think the owner was happier to show off her vocabulary more than showing the house.
THANK YOU gawd it was annoying
I'm pretty sure she's the architect. He's the owner. Most architects I know tend to talk like that, when they get into "presentation mode".
😆 🤣 😂 very uppity she is
@@stepchildofsoul Thank You, that's how architects are.
The toilet just above the bed and tub is cringeworthy....
I agree...imagine you're lying in bed and your partner takes a dump!!! No to mention the smell of freshly laid feces wafting into the bedroom and down into the kitchen and living room area. Such horrendous architectural design to an otherwise aesthetic pleasing home.
Totally agree the toilet should have been in an enclosure like the shower was. It looks like an after thought and not planned. Imagine your male partner having a wee with a view. Eurgh
100%
Socially and emotionally devastating. That should be the one private space!
@@jmk1962 maybe that's their thing 😜
I will be the 25 person to comment on the toilet location!
But I will say, There is something sexy about that big bathtub at the head of the bed..... And then the toilet shows up to the party and ruined the vibe! To each their own I reckon.
Totally agree loved the bathtub so big luxurious and nice to be clean in the bedroom but not with a fekin arsey toilet
just use toilet downstairs garl!
Kirsten, I love seeing and hearing your beautiful children in your beautiful and interesting videos. Well done, on every level.
I really appreciate the art of this home. It's actually a piece of modern art in place in the landscape. Having said that, I am stunned that they have the toilet in the middle of the bedroom. They went to ultimate trouble with every detail, enclosing the shower "for privacy", but the toilet stands out like a sore thumb without a shred of privacy in a shared bedroom space?
I would have swapped the Toilet with their Shower upstairs.
If you take a stinky poo I'd want that contained, not absorbed by the bed.
I feel like there is enough privacy as I feel only the owners/parents would use the upper room and the lower areas are the commons for everyone else.
I thought it was funny they have amenities for large gatherings - the large dinner table, patio, outdoor activities, yet thought about how awkward it would be for guests to use the restroom.
I agree with you on that toilet comment. I prefer private baths too.
@@amorag59 - Guests would use the downstairs bathroom, but will not e staying over night as there wasn't even a sofa bed let alone a guest room. Guess they don't have many friends or family.
That is pure privacy... if you're alone in the house 🤓!
When she says at 12:20 “and the bathtub is enormous, just so you know, so lots of people can sit in it” it made me wonder what happened off camera.
Yet if they put it outdoors and called it a hot tub, you wouldn't ask.
Soul cooking 😈👿😱
@@islandbee gotta do something to pay for this and I don't know many photographers who make enough to build a lake house studio.
@@islandbee picture it esp with a romantic toilet so you don't have to dry off to pee
I read this exactly when she said it, maybe 1/2 a second off. It was weird...almost as weird as the toilet.
Love the house but have to wonder at the "private shower" but the very "open" loo???
no one really wanted to stare at your body honestly.
That toilet in the bedroom would definitely kill the mood.
I like the comment at the end “We didn’t build it for other people we built for ourselves” That’s how all houses should be built.
"Look how natural everything looks"
Literally a glass box on top of the rocks formation.
Wow. This is wonderful. To be by the water. What a beautiful way to live in nature. I'm Canadian and this couple has made me fall in love with my province again. I'm just thinking about cleaning those dang windows.
As a lover of words, I love the wife's rich vocabulary.
Someone who can afford this build, doesn't clean those windows.
I noticed the wife's rich vocabulary, too.
And every surface is white... 😬
@@101doreen Hahaha. Of course. I was just being facetious.
@@djackson006 Hahaha. Yeah, I would have to make it stone, take from nature.
She is very well spoken and has a wonderful resonant voice. Watching this I wondered if she might be an architect.
Is cementitious just pretentious cement?
lol of course
LOL 🤣
sounds like an academic architecture thing
LOL! I thought the same thing
It is a typical term that architects use to categorize materials and common to the building profession.
This is one of the most elegant women I have ever seen on youtube. Really excellent communication and presentation of a wonderful house. Kudos to the couple for having found each other.
I wanna own enough homes where I refer to the property as “the site”.
I know a couple like that, except that they're landscapers together. Everywhere is a site to plan for their eyes. You have to tell them to stop redesigning your home.
What a spectacular house! I'd love a house just like it...maybe relocating the toilet though! Kudos to the owners!
Maybe???
Only a pretentious full of themselves kind of person thinks that is a great idea! Such a bright bedroom to.
Just listen to all the Words she is using
@@yeahbee8237 She's probably the architect. Are you threatened by people with a better vocabulary than you?
PageMonster nope, we just don’t like pretentious weirdos.
I don’t mind the open concept of the bathroom/bedroom. Fact is....it’s just them and if they have people over they can just make it an abatement to not go upstairs without announcement.
I am a former homebuilder who typically loathes cold, contemporary architecture. This house, in this idyllic setting, is absolutely magnificent! It does its utmost to invite the exterior splendor. And with its geothermal, it's even eco-friendly. Yeah, I could live there. Thanks, Kirsten, for another fabulous tour.
No screens in the windows up north is insane. That house is going to be full of mosquitos and blackflies for most of the summer.
So so true.
Maybe they have built over underground caves, with thousands of bats hanging around, & all they have to do is slide a little door that opens up into the caves, & ring a dinner bell & out they fly.
I don't want to be the one nominated to keep the windows crystal clear and clean 😖🤣😂🥴. Grandkids, fingerprints, nose prints . HAHAHA
Yes, I wonder what they are doing against the misquotes, etc....
we didn't build this for people, we built it for ourselves 😅 do u hear that?
Theres no way I could ever shit there.
Heat-pumps require additional electricity so its always a good idea to combine a heat-pump system with photovoltaic or other renewable energy sources. But I guess there isnt enough sun in the winter and in the summer the trees might be too close. Clever warmth/cooling systemt though.
They used. A sink and toilet from the return isle.
What's wrong with running the heat pumps off the grid?
All the white makes it seem so “cold.”
no it's about absorbing the landscape.. White is now very fashionable ..Minimalism keyword .. low/No distractions... If they wanted a Rustic Cottage they would have built one but the Idea was about Nature and the views ...would have liked to see an evening view of the place.
@@aaronparys1750 If you're interested in absorbing the landscape you need to use the colors of the landscape. The only time that this home will do that is when the landscape is covered with snow. But then again snow does that to everything. The best design choice would have been to use earth tones.
aaron parys And when it’s dark out and no exterior colors come through?
it's the light too. it is looking straight north. it gives quite an uncomfortable cold light
Sterile even, clinical
It surely gives a seamless view of the river.. Loved the unobstructed view of the water from any point of the house. Well its their house so im no one to comment but, since its a public forum . i would had wished for.
1. A dive ramp directly from the bedroom.. So you wakeup in the morning and then splash. !!!!
2. The forest side of it is equally beautiful..! Imagine you turn your chair at one side and see the blue water and turn 180 degrees to see the beautiful lush greens with the rocky surrounding.. I mean it could have been a good contrast..! So they missed the other half of it.
3. Its none of my business but.. With the hygiene view point. Toilet is really at the wrong place.
4. Some level of energy saving could have been done by installing solar pannels at the rooftop.
I always love reading the comments on her videos! Its like going to a very well thought out cocktail party with lots of interesting contrasting people to socialize and enjoy the beautiful environment ... Just add cheese, wine ,and smoked salmon hors d'oeuvre..😀
Guest: i ate som bad shrimps on the way and really need to take a dump.
House owner: oh ,thats ok..just go and stink up our bedroom while we cook lunch below.
There is a public bathroom.
That man likes rocks. The house was stunning. Very enjoyable this video :3
A clear example of how using big fancy words does not make you seem more intelligent
Welcome to Toronto
Half of what she said did not make sense ... “a platonic pavilion” is just one example
She's an architect, it's not surprising that she would use very specific terms to describe very specific things when that's what her daily life is about. Nothing unexpected here, cut her some slack.
GIRTH BROOKS I'll leave that to you as the official representative of offended people.
GIRTH BROOKS 🥰
The house is beautiful! I would have put the toilet where the walk in closet is or make a closed private space between that and the shower.
Agree. Toilet should have been separate with doors, just like the shower.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Overall it’s amazing and I love everything about it except for the bathroom/bedroom combo thing that’s going on. Also where does the kids sleep? Shouldn’t there an additional room?
Obviously this was not meant for you. IT IS PERFECT FOR THESE PEOPLE and I would LOVE to have one exactly like theirs. Why pick apart their design? And not every house has to accommodate your brats. The kids in the video seem to like it they adjust to every home their parents showcase. The are many places in the world where multiple generations of a family share only one room.
@@michellej7734 I agree with you. If it works for them. I have that sentiment too.
But when a channel puts out content for the public, they have to expect praise as well as criticism. Everyone see's art and aesthetics differently. Every one does. No matter what stripe in life you are. Criticism has varying degrees too. Some are harsh, others constructive and everything in between.
I love the statue of the kid sitting on a table in the living room. Beautiful statues in this space.
Who puts a TOILET next to a bed????
Tom Edward someone with irritable bowel syndrome?
Imagine the wife's face every middle of the night emergency!
How to ruin a relationship... 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Actually he put toilet in bedroom
Yeah, expanding the shower into a little wet room and putting the shitter and a sink in there would've made more sense.
its more like he put a bed in the washroom
Pretentious snobs
I would pay to vacation here for two weeks! Absolutely stunning! Brilliant design and development. Who in their right mind would want carpet??? Or worse, paint the.....wait what did he say she wanted to paint?? There are no paintable "walls". Most clean, modern, most beautiful lake home. THANK YOU for sharing this with us!
Just another CREATIVE and PECULIAR concept that WOWS your eyes... Thanks for sharing..
If my thinking aligns, these people have never thrown stones in their lives.
You can hear the peace in their voices. An absolutely phenomenal home. Thank you for sharing. 💜
The shower and the closet get doors but the toilet is out in the open? This is not modern, this is stupid. ... unless the owners have a perverse fetish. That explains it.
I think he does. Look at the dead horse at the entrancy. He Is kind of weird.🙄
"A glass box of emotion!" Toilet and sink next to tub is a bit awkward. Cool house.
who puts a toilet at the head of the bed?! LOL
It's not, it's on the other side of the tub and facing the wall... The tub itself is very large, so that's a larger distance than it may look, and the actual head of the bed acts as a short wall...
Besides, it's convenient for middle of the night, which happens more frequently as one gets older and he primarily lives in it himself and mainly when vacationing... While you can find similar arrangements in some high end apartments around the world...

So not as uncommon as you may think...
@@ZeoCyberG Still, if someone gets up in the middle of the night to use the facilities you're in the same room with them lol
@@ErikPukinskis Unavoidable in small spaces but as long as you remember to turn on the bathroom vent it doesn't have to be a issue... and is still way better than not making it to the bathroom... There are always trade offs...
@@ZeoCyberG if you like to rhetorically justify what is a bad idea just have in clear one thing: Nobody is buying, then...you could go all fancy: "you know, we as postmodern fellows like to break space dogmas, we deconstruct layouts in pursuit of modern needs"...taking a shit 1,5 meters from my head while I sleep, is not a must, and that's a crude fact my friend.
Erik Pukinskis maybe they enjoy to hear the noise when using the toilet. I mean, it’s licit.
I want to see HIM on a stool with WINDEX and paper towels cleaning the windows...
If you can afford this house, you can afford someone to do the windows for you.
Amazingly precise. Phenomenal engineering. Oddly enough the hardness and sharp lines of the building actually make the surrounding rocks appear "soft". As he said, they designed it for themselves not for anyone else. Love the whole place.
It's not that 'there are people who didn't understand,' it's that the world seems to have an endless supply of people who refuse to understand, who look for opportunities to not understand. Terrific place. I'm very light phobic when I sleep. I gave up on eye masks years ago, there's always some tiny gap. Instead I just use a black t-shirt. My girl laughs at me when we're on airliners, but it works. Love the the image from winter.
I loved this right up to the "bedroom" even if you lived by yourself I wouldn't want to shit where I sleep. I have a bathroom in my bedroom but it has a DOOR.
All those dining chairs and only one bed? I guess guests aren't meant to linger for long.
I would love to travel and see all of these amazing homes. I have been following for many many years and I am always amazed. I, also, love how natural the video feels with being able to hear the people so clearly along with their inhales, exhales, when their mouth opens, etc. Also, the shots when it's quiet and you can only hear the birds or nature.
Always so relaxing and motivating.
I love, love, love, love this house. Of course I love, love, love the water anyways.
We had a houseboat for over 30 yrs that my Dad, Mother, & I built w/an engine & we would go cove out over the weekend.
Man I miss it. My step-mother #witch, sold it after my Dad passed away. She just wanted money. She didn't care that my Dad worked hard for it & he told her it was supposed to go to me & she went under my Dads back & sold it. But there's karma & it will bite her back.
I just pray. Even though it hurts, bc it was a nice boat & it was one of the last project that we as a family worked on before my parents got a divorce. She can't take the memories away from me for sure. And we made a lot of memories of that boat as a family.
Great video thank you for sharing,
Chris from Missouri
Absolutely beautiful.. Thank you Kirsten.
Ugh. Bet the neighbors love looking at this. And I bet they don't get that diaphanous feeling.
Bet, they don't have neighbors.
So good haha
@Anoia Doe One house. Maybe they own that too?
Who cares what the neighbors think in their boring little houses.
Why would they care.. it's their land and house.. not the neighbors.
Just FYI: The woman, Pat Hanson, is the architect; the man, Larry Williams, a Canadian photographer, is the owner. There’s a link in the description to her firm’s other work. This building was constructed in 2007; the outdoor pad was built in 2010.
many thanks for the warning. now we know who to avoid.
Peace and beauty does not have to be so contrived. The fun is in the dreaming of things.
His grandchildren must have such a wonderful time visiting. So amazing.
I feel sorry for the birds...ouch
I agree here; it really stands out when you look at the landscape from the outside, but it looks lovely from the inside. The toilet next to the bed is what I think is the weirdest thing, too. But it is very minimalistic, I like it.
Wow! Out of all the dwellings you have showcased over the years, this is one of my favorites! Thanks
An architectural structure that will make the best of natural beauty and peace. Greetings from Türkiye..
I just wonder how many birds smashed those windows every year. Have mixed feelings about it
That is exactly what I was thinking....how many birds whack into that glass and die. Hope they will give that some thought....
Wait until your hear about literally every city on earth
(And housecats...)
Boo hoo
Well, I hope you guys are vegan otherwise you're still harming animals which probably had a worse life than the free birds that crush into the windows of this building. Go vegan 😊💟🌱
Superbly done video! Thank you so much for putting mics on them. Loved seeing the unique structure.
I think this is the best home that i have seen on this channel that just took my breath away! This space has everything!
This home is my idea of heaven! All that glass, all that light! Please, please, please can I come live with you?
So many people calling her pretentious for talking about the house this way but she is literally the architect. How else do you expect an architect to talk about a house they built and also live in
many architects have been featured on this channel and other channels that don't talk in this way
@@kyuuness yet many do.
I appreciate Larry's love of the landscape. Clearly viewers don't like the stark design in the natural landscape. I'd say the building was designed from the inside-out. In that way, I think it works.
I don't see it as stark at all. Rocks are jagged as well as smooth. This fits in well. It doesn't impose itself on the landscape.
Laughing Man You really love birds don’t you.
I would love to experience this home in person. The bedroom, once the frosted glass screening areclosed, is the thing I appreciate the most. So magical.
I love that comment, "We didn't build it for other people we built it for ourselves." Good for you. I don't think it looks off. I think it looks kind of neat.
This is incredible... it may be my favourite one yet. I’m a few days away from camping on the 5 acres I bought a year ago and I can’t wait to find my building site. I hope I get to feature my build on this channel sometime. ❤️🖤 love the channel and thanks so much for the years of inspiration
Damn, that's exciting. Are you in Canada as well?
HINGES LEVERS I am. Living just outside Toronto until I can build in Thunder Bay. 😅🥰
This a very nice petri dish. There should be a welcome mat that says "Staph Only"
Wow, it’s incredible. Must be amazing in the winter too. I would get nothing done because I would stare at the view all day.
Love the feeling that comes from being close to the water and nature
I just remembered the movie the glass house by watching these...haha...very nice location...even the kids enjoyed the place😄👍
I'm wondering about the little house in the background. Does the modern structure block its view?
yeah they destroyed those peoples view lowered the value of their house
It was stated during the video that they had to meet a height restriction. I am guessing that had to do with the neighbours view. Remember too that there was a boat house there when they bought the property.
This is a very very modern lake house with a perfect nature environment.. loveeeeeeeeee to the most!!! I love the lake.. I love the house! Not to mention the very unique stones with beautiful arrangements around the house ,also the geothermal system as heater and cooler for the house is amazing. ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing! Most beautiful house of the series. Very elegant.
Such a beautiful lot of land, but the i dont think the architecture, especially that outdoor deck, is contextually responsive. Lots of ideas here that weren't thought out.
There’s no relationship to the vernacular climate or landscape, but I guess they live in the one magical place in Canada where walls of glass will keep you warm in the winter on the water.
I couldn't wait to read the comments to explore the diversity of views :) I love this channel: Kirsten and the fam mixing it up again. From Lloyd Kahn in Bolinas to this, the diversity is great. I'm glad Kirsten doesn't just show me the hippy reuse things that I LIKE to see. It's also good to see something that I am unused to.
Thanks @OliverBurke for appreciating the diversity of stories. Not sure your opinion is universal, but it's valued.
the comments are really good lately
I love the editing on this one! Your children's perspectives on how to use the space is precious and brings it back to the living that happens in a space. What fun! Thank you
I love how much this guy loves rocks. The amount of knowledge that he loves to share about the formations is endearing. Nice video!
The most important thing was the last sentence in the video, and for all those people who are complaining about the toilet in the bed room. "The thing is, at this point in time, we didn't build this for other people we build it for ourselves".
That means that they like or don't mind the smell of poop in the bedroom.
@@HideorEscape That means when you are that age and you have that much money you can do whatever you goddamn want; if he likes smelling poop instead of fresh morning bacon, that's his God given right. It's his prerogative, not ours "we didn't build this for other people we build it for ourselves".
@@HideorEscape Lol for all we know this man could have been in the Directors edition for two girls one cup, and love a fresh morning Cleveland Steamer.
2:02 "so you see how natural everything is?" Ummm...
I see it.
Because nothing said nature like a big box of glass between beautiful lake and the forest.
That was the moment I laughed the most! Never saw a more artificial house like this, not conected with the nature at al!
I think that little girl sold me on that outdoor shower. Using the rocks apart of that ourdoor shower is incredible
Thank You Kristen, always an amazing job !
liked everything except for that toilet in the bedroom, wtf...I guess that lady would live to poop in the middle of the night and stare at her husband as he sleeps? who knows
Fecal Matters
Maybe someone has ibs?
And the way I pictured it was the husband shitting, while the wifes facial features slowly morph into the face she makes every night when he pebbledashes the back of the pan.
There are 2 places to do personal business. I would go to the guest bathroom if someone else was in bed sleeping.
It's not in the bedroom.
@@djackson006 dont be nasty
No, the curve of the “pod” does not match or parallel the landscape/rocks. A rectangle would have been much better. Even an oval or round shape.
it's like a freakin UFO... I mean, I like the shape (although it seems to me like a rip-off of M. Breuer's Parador Aniston) but it looks weird there
I think it matches pretty well.
🤣
aesthetically ...the pod is out of place.....
Rachel you tell 'em ! Wow so out of place. Money to burn causes issues sometimes.
Beautiful - even taken the quality of the glass into account - Perfect
Beautiful cottage. The art work is magical, love the sculptures.
everything's so perfect that all the way too sugary
when perfection kills
Overall, the home is well done, but the combo of master/only bedroom and bathroom is just a no-no as far as I'm concerned.
Unless someone is living there alone. (as in this case)
@@jonothandoeser Since they're using it as a summer home at times, i'd imagine they'd want to maximize its potential? I don't think having a toilet in the bedroom makes much sense in most circumstances..why make a space so limiting?
@@adamfried9365 Is he married to his architect?
"We didn't build it for other people. We built it for ourselves." THAT is the way every home should be built/decorated/whatever. I love this home. I was surprised at how much the all white moved me. (note: I'm not a fan of all white, at all...except with this home) That one shot of the home in winter was breath taking. Thank you for this.
Very nice house. Glad to see that the owner, Larry Williams is obviously very proud of it.
I can't believe they were legally able to build this. What an eyesore for the rest of the property owners on that lake. Wonder how many birds are going to die hitting this thing
Oh boo hoo.. it's not your property.. maybe he things the other houses are eyesores too..
@@TC-yx1qt their comment is an eyesore.
A lot can be achieved with a lot of money, and that has always been the case.
The 3 Miele appliances at 2:57 am already cost as much as my kitchen. Although I have to say that my kitchen is small. Kirsten, could you please show some more projects that normal mortals can pay for? Thank you. After all, i want to dream of things that seem achievable to me. Still another great video.
The building has too much glass for me, by the way. Both probably love the smell of feces. ^^
I LOVE the glass and view of this space.
Naa I'm sorry, but I would still prefer a nice and cozy wood hut at the lake over this abnormal thing. This really think this is Malibu beach or something...
Toilet could have been added next to the shower room - I'm not living there but it is weird. Even with IBS - a few more steps into the shower area for the toilet is just not a big deal ...it really ruins the ambiance ....although they may view a toilet in the bedroom as "ambiance."
I bet those rocks are slippery after rain or snow ...and he is no spring chicken. Maybe a banister on one side of the rocks for balance...that could be one hell of a fall and hit hard enough ...fatal.
Hope they have help cleaning a ton of large windows - a constant maintence issue -at least for me.
Other than that, I love the idea of this home and it's simplicity.
The whole house and property is spectacular! So clean and simple and yet grand, can't imagine anything better. Living in nature all 4 seasons would be breathtaking ❤ you are truly blessed. I'm afraid I would never want to leave lol
Absolutely loved it. You can really see the vision behind the place, and it really leaves a different impression. So beautiful
How do they clean the windows? It' a beautiful scenario. Nice to have tons of money in order to realize your tastes.
I didn't like the bathroom and bedroom integrated
only narcissists feel comfortable living in this
Imagine taking a shit and then going back to bed and still smelling it
Wow, I don’t know how you guys get any work done. That view is heaven on earth. I’d be using table rock as my meditation rock. The material selections I agree are sublime, timeless, functional and durable. More importantly, they create an environment of sheer PEACE….. For feng shui harmony in the master, I’d add a luscious raw peice of waxed and buffed timber to ground the bed and separate the water (bath) dampening the relationship also backing the loo and vanity as well.
