    This is lovely but I will never understand the lack of proper separation between the child's room and the parents. I understand it works now when the child is young, but imagine they are planning to move out when the child gets a bit older. It would be awkward for both the kid and the parents if they didn't lol

    One thing they need to change is the stool for the kitchen/office area. Its is a bar height stool and they need counter height. You can see that she can't scoot her legs under the kitchen counter.

    • @jamboau
      @jamboau 3 месяца назад +7

      Yes... face palm. This is kind of a 'show' stool. We haven't found the perfect counter height stools yet (we've been thinking of making some, if we ever get time) - and we don't love the look of the ones that we have that are at the right height.
      We put these pretty vintage bar stools in for this, not thinking through how it would look when 'modelled'.

      We find it comfortable, but it is definitely a 'firm' style. I can't stand sofas that hug you / swallow you up. Especially in the heat. One side is a bit too deep for just sitting on, but it's great to lounge about on / stretch out.

    Getting through the parents sleeping room for the kid might become awkward later. Are there plans for extensions? Finally the aluminium profiles seem quite sharp for barefoot walking.

It's true it was originally designed when there was just two of us, but covid and the building supply crisis meant it took much much much longer to complete than we planned, and our life changed in that time. Altering plans mid build is a catastrophe let me tell you.
      We thought we would build a slightly bigger house next to it, in time, and have grandparents move into this house - but our life has changed again.

    Those windows by the rangehood will get so oily and sooty in just a few weeks without a proper fan. Where is the real dining table? Do they ever have guests? Where are the trashcans? Where's his piano? Why is the patio made from metal so they have to wear shoes to walk outside? Where do they store outdoor clothing or shoes? It's minimalist and tiny and 'aesthetic' but it doesn't seem functional or cozy or particularly sustainable to me. OSB is also not a suitable material for your entire house, unless it uses some other type of glue than regular OSB. There's a reason it's not used...

      Very true. I think it's a shame, because I assume they have good intentions, but a house with its own driveway and then the rock garden, that's just not sustainable. Plus the gas cooker and a tumble dryer... I just think that's a shame. Sustainable living is possible and needs clever architecture, but ideally in a flat and with good infrastructure.

Not to mention the hilarity of not having a wall between bedrooms with a child. I get families live in different ways but this feels *unsustainable* to me if they have to move when they realize that quietly having sex a few feet from “the baby” is not the same as quietly having sex a few feet from a full-on child 🤷‍♀️

    this is a visually beautiful space, and the sustainability element seemed to have been very well thought out. it does appear to deprioritize seating comfort as the built-in couch does not have side supports nor comfortable cushioning, and the stool seats appear too small for prolonged sitting and too high for ergonomic body movement to do work on. some comments mentioned the challenge of the parent/child room separation as the kid gets older, and i am also incredibly curious about that. how do you maintain privacy and intimacy in a romantic partnership when your child is essentially in the same room as you? how does your child maintain a level of privacy in later years? all in all a beautiful looking space, but as this is such a new home, i imagine (and hope) they will adjust certain elements of this space to give themselves the opportunity to be truly comfortable and relaxed.

    I do not believe one second that a family lives there 24/7. They have an appartment in the city, or the husband just visits this house and stays near work. This looks entirely like a vacation/weekend home.
    Edit: I actually tracked her husband down and he's often working between multiple international locales. This is probably just where this woman lives alone with her child. Which also, seems just unplanned for the space, so many sharp corners and edges, and a room which.. 'could be a luxurious and extravagant wardrobe'... she definitely had different plans for the house.

    It's a nice house in a great setting. I'm curious though, what will they do as their daughter grows older and wants privacy, not to mention their own. It wasn't clear to me by how it's currently configured that that could be remedied in the future.

    Thanks for bringing the series back down under. Love this tiny footprint bungalow, hard to believe it’s only 42sqm. I always love when a small space is made to look larger with different vertical planes. 42sqm does little to the imagination on one floor level.
    Not a fan of OSB but I think it may have been a budgeting decision. OSB can be brittle on its edges and those metal angles to trim them off look quite sharp and nasty. But otherwise love it!

    It's really well designed, but i wonder how isolated those pleated windows are. It seems like they would be even less isolating than single plane glass windows.
    I notice a lot of australian builds have really bad isolation. It stuns me, cause it's the best defense against heat (and the colder winter months).

    • @MTMF.london
      @MTMF.london 3 месяца назад +1

      The louvred glass windows are very common in South East Asia and other tropic/semi-tropic countries. As long as it does not get too cold, insulation is not a problem. Ceiling fans are another way of keeping interiors cool and for air circulation. A wide portico also prevents heat from coming inside.

    I have so many questions... What was done to the house to fire proof it? Those trees are awfully close to the main structure and based on the photos taken during construction the house seems to be mainly build from wood. Also, having lived at that part of Australia I wonder how they get rid of moisture during winter? It rains a lot up there and everything gets damp and mouldy and those louver windows while good for ventilation during summer are terrible when it comes to insulation.
