What a beautiful renovation! The back walkway is stunning! Also nice to see the clients collections and personal things in place. While minimalism is a nice aesthetic, some of us have collections, so it’s always nice to see incorporated in the finished product as a realistic use of the home. The wood selections in the reno really adds a lovely warmth.
While there is a lot of intersection between Minimalism and minimalism, I wholeheartedly believe maximalists (or just people with "stuff") can still have a home with minimalist design principles, and it would actually enhance their collections. As the architects mentioned in this episode, the pared-back interior helped with the focus on the clients' collections.
I love it! So comfortable with all the book shelves, paintings and curios. A home that looks wonderfully lived in. Our designer keep pushing a white-washed minimalist zone, where people were afraid to sit. My husband finally fired him and found an Australian (!) designer who understood porches and Asian ethics. One thing I've noticed from my guests is that everyone exhales when they sit down. This house reminded me so much the cozy nooks and soft sunlight we insisted on--what a delight to see others appreciate that relaxed ambiance, too.
Perfection! Nothing pretentious here. A much-loved family home that is lived in and used. The character of the home has not been destroyed and the new additions align with the beauty already there. Well done to the owners who remained firm in their vision and aims.
This project is stunning! I love the lived in charm, added clean lines and natural elements. It’s really amazing how just a bit of space can really help to transform the functionality of a home. Well done!
Lovely. A well lived in home with well used spaces. The sliding rear door with double panes really suits the building, rather than a large expanse of glass.
5:26 imo this is very important. a lot of times, i feel like architects goes with designs that are trendy rather than trying to understand what the client may truly need. not every clients know what they want and most of the time, they don't know what they don't know, that's why they hire an architect. like now, i feel like everyone are doing open-plan kitchen all the time to the point i wonder if that's really what the client want? i know a lot of people that don't like to cook in front of their guests but they might agreed with the floor plan without even think about this because they trust the architect to know better than them. this principle need to be realized more.
To play devil's advocate, I would find it hard to believe that an owner would go through the entire process with an architect, from briefing, to concept, to sketch design, to design development, to construction documentation, and through construction to completion, for an open-plan kitchen if they truly didn't want one. Okay, there may be some ego-centric architects out there that may push their own ideas, but any good architect listens to the client, and deliver their needs and wants while balancing their own knowledge and ideas. To throw another profession under the bus, perhaps real estate agents/realtors are the ones who push these trends on us as "that's what sells"?
@@SimpleDwelling Think again, you're right. The realtor part is very likely. Also, from my experiences, each architect has their own style so it always better to study their portfolio and check their past projects so see if their style match with yours. However, where I'm living, when client hire a construction/house renovation company, they don't get to choose which architect to work with. And they only have limited time to list their requirements which they likely to miss a lot of things. The architect will fill the blank by themselves because most of them are not working full-time for the construction company and most if not all communication between them and client are made through the company. Now it seems more like a procedure issue. Thank you for making me rethink about this. I'll definitely keep this in mind when I'm helping my friend on her upcoming home renovation.
Beautifully finished project well captured by your coverage. It’s great to see a house that looks like people live In it rather than another sparse and cold Airbnb project.
Mid-rise apartments and townhouses with plenty of public open space, and amenities within walking distance, how are we not doing this? That's the dream, not some 1/4 acre block where you have to drive to get bread.
@@SimpleDwelling Oh quite so. I believe in the 15 minute city (kind of like where I live in Queens, NY - odd little towns within cities in which people can walk to just about everything they need). Although where I am could use more parks.
Definately takong a closer look at the blueprints. Love this and love the intentions and principles behind traditional Japanese architecture! Nice to see how this is achieved on a lower budget without major redesigning of the whole house! 😍❤️
Love the exterior- gives a real lift to the home- the kitchen could have done with an integrated fridge perhaps and made a tad more elegant. Although I do like those Japanese inspired green tiles. Other than that love the use of the cedar panels/windows and exposed wooden roof beams.

I love the approach...very real, affordable, pleasing and an overall homey space.
Awesome….beautiful result!❤️

Feel really clustered and untidy
The clients/owners definitely aren't minimalists

I really enjoyed this! Def one of my favorite houses featured not only on this channel, but in residential architecture in general.
Architecture for actual humans. Well done.
Should always be the case, Tangle!
Lovely. A well lived in home with well used spaces. The sliding rear door with double panes really suits the building, rather than a large expanse of glass.
Definitely maintained the charm of the cottage😍👏
It's like sometimes 'less is more'...
I admire how you speak. I like this video. Keep.it coming.

I’m amused that the client has an abundance of knick knacks and the brief was “don’t overdo it.”

The exterior makes me go 'wow', especially with the terracotta roof.
What was the brafe for this hime?
Stunning. And real.
The exterior is so lovely.
Totally agree, Fransira!
Wonderful!
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤.
This. This is wonderful. It's homey, sweet and humble in the most wonderful way.
Couldn't agree more, Danae!
Such a marvellous story (and video). Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it, Sam!
Best standalone house you've featured.
❤
