Inside a Home Designed as ‘Ruins of the Future’ (House Tour)

- Once welcomed inside a home described as a “ruin of the future”, guests aren’t just treated to a house tour but encouraged to think how they too could live inside a home that goes against the normal ideas of living. Though the original design concept for Mori House came from Manuel Aires Mateus, MA+Co and Neometro helped to expand upon the design of the home that would best suit the client’s needs.
Mori House does not defer from the initial idea of it being something of the future. Moreover, the home represents Aires Mateus’s strong principles of form, layout, scale and the power of walls and openings and how they work together. Acting as client and one of the architects, Jeff Provan, design director at Neometro, brought a brief that was quite simple in that it requested a generational beach house that complemented his diverse range of needs and wants. As such, the home was built on the clifftop in Mount Martha, complemented with coastal aspects, ocean breezes, northerly sun and a walkable distance to the beach.
Seen once inside a home, the house tour reveals everyday rooms such as the kitchen, bedrooms, living and dining rooms as well as easy connections to the outdoors. Each space within the home has been built to have meaning and is ambitious. Moreso, once inside a home, the house tour reveals that it has been divided into multiple areas yet what is most important to the layout is the light that forms a cross. This cross enables the owners to re-set and divide up the house to create more intimate spaces or open areas. The interior seeps out into the gardens, where four plots have been divided to serve the owner’s needs.
With no formal entry inside a home, visitors and inhabitants enter through the kitchen door, as the space serves as a crucial zone within the home. The dining room is the second most-used space and is complemented with art and a record player that talks back to the owners’ personality. While the residence is designed to be a family home, it can be closed off to match the number of those residing inside at the time.
For the decor, there was a request to have a Japanese-style dining room that could double as an extra sleeping space for visiting family. Not interested in conditioning people or the way they live, Aires Mateus, Neometro and MA+Co have created a home that makes the clients’ lives easier. As the home is located close to the sea, there were erosive factors that had to be considered. One answer was to make the bulk of the building concrete, which allows for longevity in the coastal climate. Furthermore, a signature detail to the home is the staircase that leads up to the roof space, which provides another layer to the home where the owner can appreciate their surrounds.
Offering an array of possibilities to finding freedom, Mori House caters to the owners’ needs whether they be alone or with extended family.

Designed by Manuel Aires Mateus and brought to life with the help of MA+Co and Neometro, Mori House embodies principles of form, layout, and scale, creating a harmonious blend of coastal beauty and innovative architecture. Mori House is featured in our most recent trio of hardcover books, Habitats: City, Coast and Forest. Be sure to order your copy today: thelocalproject.com.au/product/habitats-city-coast-forest/
Wow this is the first time I've seen an all concrete house who doesn't feel or look cold. I love the way the architect divided the spaces with this cross method. Very beautiful
Just what I wanted to say,
Yes, I wasn't expecting to like it, but the concept won me over.
We're really glad you found the all-concrete house warm and inviting. The architect's innovative use of the cross method to divide spaces truly enhances the beauty and functionality of the home. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
I fully support this - it’s an amazing phenomenon.
imagine if everyone could have a home that evokes their own personal version of peace, calm, tranquility, and zen. pure joy.
We could if people trusted and bought into the process of architectural design. We’d also have to outlaw large scale property development companies
This is remarkable. I am in awe of everything about this project. What an achievement.
Espetacular ser apanhado de surpresa com um português nos videos do Local Project! Excelente conceito e design.
Didn’t expect to see Aires Mateus in the video. Amazing! If we could see a few more renowned architects it would be very interesting. It would also allow us to see how their work adds to the work of the other architects you have on the channel.
Tão bom ver um português falar a sua língua num projeto gigante como este 🇵🇹
Gosh the tatami room is pure visual wellness for the eyes. The entire project is breathtaking, as it is with the videoography.
We're glad to hear it!
I just love love the idea of a light coming into the house in a shape of cross and moving throughout a day… the choreography of it ads so much dynamic to a peaceful home.
Thanks for featuring this house. I was looking forward for a video ever since this featured in the wallpaper magazine this year. 🎉
Our pleasure! We've had our eye on this one for a very long time.
Exquisite. A work of art as well as a home. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.
We're glad you enjoyed it 🙌
One of the best projects, that I saw on this channel so far! Very interestingly designed, thoughtful and I guess homey. Bravo!
This architecturec, the Tatami room, design, art and the gardens, made my heart sing. could live there. Thabts a compliment!🙌🏽✨✊🏽
We're glad to hear it!
It's one of the best projects I saw on this channel so far!
The doors and intersection of spaces at 2:54 🤩🤩🤩😍
Love the way the concrete is sculptured
Us too!
Simply breath taking - congratulations to all involved
Here for the chicken! 🐔😆
Oh yes, and the beautiful home! 😉
What a wonderful home, dwelling and living space! So much going with this design, inside and out. Much more interesting than many of the well appointed but beige homes so often shown on this channel. Thank you!
Love it- of course. My only concern as someone originally coming from country SA, is the risk of snakes under the house as I have duly noted throughout the video- maybe that’s why an axe is prominent at 4’39”…. 😂
You could be right! Glad you enjoyed the video and home.
I wept. I love this with every fiber of my being.
Same
Thank you for your heartfelt comment Ashley. It means the world to us that the design moved you so deeply. We're also grateful for your generous donation, thank you!
you wept 😮 really??? And why ? 🤔
This can only be executed by intelligent minds. 💯💯
This is just so beautifully done
It's a very special project!
Simplement bravo pour ce projet
Une réussite totale. Merci
Amazing 💜
Excellent work. Well thought out.
Thank you, I had an interesting time.
Reminiscent of Tadao Ando, love the tatami room in the mix.
The tatami room is a wonderful addition that brings a touch of traditional Japanese design to the mix. Thanks for watching!
This is stunning.
chill out & relax
Essa arquitetura brasileira tem muito a oferecer e mil maneiras de estar sempre diferente ao mesmo tempo.
Hello, I am a 3D artist, I have been specializing in 3D architectural visualization for more than 5 years. I really enjoy videos related to architecture. thank you
Nice, i love the design.
jeeze, how much does it cost to build such a house? looks massive
Simplesmente mágico! ♥
Simply superb!
Glad you like it!
Beautiful
4:55 that was so random.
Belo trabalho!!
Wonderful
It really is!
Good job. 👌
Agreed!
Parabéns!
@7:27 does anyone know the exact brand/model of those chairs?
Absolutely lovely house and video, btw.
Simple awesome
Love Gory House
"Designing possibilities for freedom"
off topic but what's the name of the music in the background?
No books? Not sure if they have moved in yet as there are few signs of habitation. It's a beautiful building but I'm not sure how to be in it - where to eat breakfast, where to chat, where to read a book, where to paint - ?
🤩🤩
I want to build something similar would love if they could finance my house!
Wow
우리집도 이렇게 지어야겠다
شكرًا
What's stuck to your grandfather's hand when he's swimming in the pool?
👏
This house is so sick. I cheered aloud when they talked about the light cross moving throughout the day. The owner was kinda annoyingly stuffy though, but that's to be expected. His whole thing about keeping the rooftop "pure" was absolute rubbish IMO. Complete waste of an opportunity to make an amazing space to be in. Instead, it's just a spot you can come be in for like 15mins tops, smh
I would appreciate if you guys used less dramatic color grading for your videos it just doesnt look natural. I am pretty sure nothing look like irl compared to the video
Every one of these videos has the same phrase by these pretentious architects…”the brief was simple…”
its so sad that this is championed as something amazing when its really just devoid of anything more than a car park building, aesthetically.
At least he tried to make it feel a bit warmer. I like the wood accents, but from the outside it just looks pretty cold. It feels like a public viewing platform in an area where the city doesn't have much money to make it nice, but the city still wants to do something for its citizens... With a kind of attached public pool which got a bit too small which might be plausible given the sea is nearby...
Sorry, but personally I don't like it that much.
For Rich people only 😢
Sigh, another austere bunch of gray rectangles with the stereotypical huge opening glass panels. Are there no insects or blowing dust or flying birds that will drift in as easily as the chickens? Modern architecture liked this leaves me with little hope for the future of culture.
Nothing new, same old boring design disconnected from the outside wild ecosystem. Stop talking about this architecture like it is an actual interesting one.
