Well technically there is no one across from the house, it faces onto stunning water views. So in fact, is quite private while still taking in the breathtaking vista in each room. Though I’m sure people who can afford a house in that locale would consider it modest in size, I agree that most of us mere mortals wouldn’t! 😂 I’m jealous as all hell either way. It’s gorgeous.
the bathtub with floor to ceiling glass walls with a direct sight line to multiple neighbour's windows is sending me lol... this is a fab house for exhibitionists
Right? I was thinking the same that you can't expect privacy here. I was actually wondering that what if someone flying a drone? They have a direct view of your bedroom. I mean I love the design but that kind of had me thinking.
i really liked the use of concrete and glass. there's so much more to using concrete and glass that isn't immediately obvious. Finishing and sealing the concrete so that it is an attractive consistent hue (would have to be specifically ordered from the supplier), finished durable cleanable detail. The hardware and installing the glass doors and windows of these greater sizes requires much higher engineering and your installers did a beautiful job. I was on a project with similar very large glass windows and doors, and i was fascinated by how such weight could move so balanced and easily. And yes the play of light is important, reflecting it off the interior, having the openness, the colors of the interior furnishings. There's plenty of area for adding favorite art pieces, and even places to put occasional paint focus points. This was fun to watch. thank you for your bold creativity!
Some very engaging aspects: I love the way the bed floats in the primary suite to capture the view - may re-position mine! Also a great re-interpretation of a wardrobe - a glass jewelry box - fab!
I love it 👏 It really showcases the designers/architects/builders. It’s so important to have the right team to pull this off and I will definitely keep this team in mind in the future. So many good architectural houses I’ve seen that are built poorly and just don’t work. Great work guys!
I keep thinking nothing is in straight lines or up down throughout the house.... every part was smooth and curved and flowed the glass closest wow never seen that before...BEAUTIFULL PLASE.
The home is lovely EXCEPT for the entry design. It is truly a horrible concept to enter climbing those narrow steps and have no warm welcome. The stairway from the basement is also a non-welcoming design.
am I the only person who hates the unnecessary stairs and height differences in the middle of the room, seems none of these are thinking about children or elderly when designing homes.
Ironic considering the title "forever home". Which means as long as the owners are able-bodied and don't suffer age-related arthritis or hip injuries, where all the stairs make the place unliveable.
“The initial brief for the project was not unlike many we get across our desk. It was for a modest family home … but I said f* that! I’m an architect and you’re my status pig for the ultra rich who want to compete with you. So how about we go with a double height glass fronted structure that says f* you to modesty and has enough space for 7 families but no lift for your ageing in place?”
why people get triggered by glass and double-height volumes? It's fairly small double-height volume that tries to maximize what looks to be around 4000 square foot house. It's certainly not modest relative to middle class in Australia but relative to that neighborhood it's not standing out as something opulent and gigantic.
The first thing that came to mind is how can someone drop so much money on a home to be faced with that staircase - don't people think about the mobility issues they will face once they age? Or if they have some accident?
@@mycellphone4437 its safe... actually, its more of an issue with small kids. My cousin has the same staircase and kids drop literally everything down there and have their legs and hands stuck there.
I find it hard yo believe that anyone with THIS budget wouldn't provide some form of handicap axcess to the main living area other than two strong men...I guess they chill in the kids lounge and watch the pool.
The front courtyard with crushed granite looks cheap and unfinished. The narrow entry stairs and doorway are bad also. The kitchen looks generic and uninspired. This beautiful house on this location deserves better.

The brief was for something modest and private... as the camera pans to show a glass wall bedroom and a home taking up half the lot. 😂
The brief included a 1M glass budget!
And a gold wrapped G class😂
@@johnrandall9703laughed my ass off when I saw it
@@annerankin1191 yes but such beautiful glass windows

Finally, a professional that speaks about his work with words humans can understand.

have you ever heard of tinted windows? its usually a stable in these homes.
"Clients wanted a modest house"
Also the clients "Take a seat on our $90,000 sofa"...
Bouji
plus the design 🐽
I like that closet design. Simple and functional.

I love the combination of black metal with wood, like the stairs here. 3:36

It may look modern in style but still seeing a classic approach where helping this home to be timeless. ✨✨
Love this house too much. Thanks for your video.
What a stunning home I love it the floors the finish so simple clean and beautiful thank you for sharing❤❤
Absolutely stunning I love the architectural design and interior. This building flows elegantly. Stunning!
My forever home too. Breathtaking.

Nice combo of concrete and timber. The floor to ceiling glass windows are remarkable but also nerve inducing. Interesting concept with the stairs.
First! And it's a house in my suburb too.
Modest family????
Love this.
Stunning! 😍

Spectacular house
"Design me a modest family home", and by modest, I mean it should clearly say I'm in the richest 1% of the population.
be proud. amazing.
Oh, to have a modest home in Sydney😫
it all sounds so modestly poetic
Beautiful house. With a G-Wagen to match!
Yes, a true exercise in "modesty". LOL!
Beautiful no words👍🏼
beatiful!
Its a stone throwers dream house.
A modern concrete house, it's cool.
The home is lovely EXCEPT for the entry design. It is truly a horrible concept to enter climbing those narrow steps and have no warm welcome. The stairway from the basement is also a non-welcoming design.
Deliberado
Gorgeous
I need a rich tutorial right now!

@@technovelodos I'm sure there is a lift in there somewhere.

If you’re in a warm climate, concrete is fine but if you’re not don’t
It's an interesting design but the wooden part looks like they were short on money cause of those glass panes.
Plywood finishes look cheap af try more stone and marble
Looks like a Big 4 office
how much would such a build ? 2m ?
Wooooww
modest family with a stack of Balenciaga Pullovers for 750$ each !!!
Absolutely love it, but how out of touch do you have to be to call this a ‘’modest’’ home? 😅
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
please can someone tell me where that couch is from, wow.
It looks like a DS-600 from de Sede in Switzerland. It was launched in 1972.
where do I get that couch that was in the basement tv room
It's the Togo sofa by Ligne Roset...
3-D printable ?
🎉🎉
3rd 😢
Anyone in Texas make homes like this
Dictionaries need to be checked on “modest” 😐
👍👏🤗
😃
💖💐💖💐💖💐💖💐💖

Too many stairs. It’s fine when you’re yong
