      May I know for the large windows, you have already got the Building Department approval before installation ? How do you got the large windows to get into the house ?

      mt89: I gather your opinion differs to mine. That's okay. it's horses for courses.
      Just as a matter of interest, do you think MacMansions are the acme of home design?

    I love seeing people from HK. You never know what international combo you’ll get. My sister in law is mixed heritage of Irish/Chinese Canadian with her Maori husband. Her brother is married to a French woman. It’s so exciting.

    Very nice. But for the herb garden open window. Watch the kids. Hopefully you put something there so when they get to climbing and exploring they don't fall out.

    • @flower2364
      @flower2364 Před 6 lety +14

      I thought the exact same thing. I mean how many toddlers have gotten a chair to stand on the lean out...omg it doesn't bear thinking. They were so high up. I can understand the large windows to allow light to flow but didn't get the frames for the views idea...what views? Not for me but the flat made excellent use of the space... it was lovely.

    • @lomaluv1590

    • @onthecomet2802

  • @tranlily3001
    @tranlily3001 Před 7 lety +33

    The best thing it's have many natural light. Almost have 3 free-wall, the wall not close to neighbour house so it's have big window. It's make the house so ALIVE! You can have the sun, the wind, the light reach to your place.
    It's well design but this is not small apartment. It's have decent size, just saying.

    • @aimeem
      @aimeem Před 4 lety +2

      It's big for Hong Kong, but lots of people in other places would consider it very small indeed for a family of 4. Like in the USA average apartment size is around 800-900 sq ft. (And the houses are huge.)

    It ain't that small, but what he did with the apartment is terrific! I loved the lots of light and the window panes. And the living area and the kitchen. The bedroom looked a bit dull, though but nevertheless this is by far the proyect I liked most of all I've seen so far!

  • @casekocsk
    @casekocsk Před 4 lety

    In vehicles like RV or trailer, having "integrated" fridge is understandable since it's the standard and space is premium. But in a house, will it becomes a problem later when the fridge getting old, because sometimes they leak? And what if you need to repair the fridge? Also how about the ventilation space?

    Very subtle but I can't help but notice the host asked the wife if she is happy with her kitchen after she said that they plant the herbs because the husband is a great cook and herbs are expensive in HK. She then had to say again that she is happy with the kitchen even though she does not use it a lot and the husband is the cook. :(

    I have trouble understanding some of the comments about the space or the windows.
    The point of the video is to show how one can optimize small spaces through an example, and why not teach your children to not play with/arounds the windows because it's dangerous? Kids aren't stupid, if rules are properly explained to them, they'll understand. No need to whine about an issue that can be settled lol

      why would you need more than one bathroom? But you're right it should be accessible from one of the other rooms. You don't want your kids to disturb your sleep/sex every time they have to pee.
