We hope you enjoyed watching this incredible video showcasing the beauty and craftsmanship of Stonelea by Matthew Woodward Architecture. It’s inspiring to see how this country retreat seamlessly blends with the landscape and embraces the essence of family. Stonelea was featured in a previous print issue - Issue No. 5.

I’m always so pleased when an architect is able to create warmth, coziness and sense of place. It is not easy of course. When it’s done exceptionally well as it is here, it is to be celebrated. Bravo
The thoughtful design and attention to detail in this house are truly inspiring. The way it harmonizes with the surrounding landscape while maintaining a low carbon footprint is a testament to sustainable and mindful architecture. It's clear that a lot of love and care went into this project, and it's wonderful to see a home that not only respects but also enhances its natural environment. Thank you for sharing this beautiful journey with us!
Most of the projects featured on this channel have an impaired level of wowness. Though, for me, you including the surrounding / exterior side of the houses,✨ the gardens✨, vibe at a better, way... way far better, frequency to me. 🌬🤍🍃🌱🌿🪴🌳💚 Dear Nature, I hope you know by now the depth of such love in me to you.
Es una casa muy especial. Con un aire campero desenfadado y práctico. Invita a estar en ese espacio que puede desdibujar interior y exterior. Me gustan los materiales, las láminas de madera. Es bella sin pretensiones.
Is there a practical reason for placing the gutter further up the roof away from the bottom of the roofing? If it’s for aesthetics it defeats the purpose. Other than that I really liked the design from the planning to the choice of materials and build quality.
You can tell right away that this house will be a passive house in terms of carbon footprint - perfect utilization of northern exposure with shading from summer sun. And screens and other devices to minimize Western/Eastern axis exposure to the sun. Also, concrete floors soak up sunlight and then slowly release it well after the sun sets.
New to content like this: what is the paneling on the inside of the house? I heard that it's a type of wood, but is it plywood? Curious to learn more about tongue and groove versus shiplap versus panels. Cheers!
Beautiful home, yes, but let's be honest, concrete is not a "natural material" and the carbon footprint of its reduced maintenance is fractional compared to its embodied carbon.
I love this house but honestly he keeps going on about sustainability. The house sits on a gigantic concrete raft, with concrete floors and a concrete sink. It's got Corten retaining walls. It's got a concrete swimming pool. Realistically, everytime a new building is made, whether it's out of timber or glass or steel, by virtue of transporting those materials, never mind producing them, to site - it is just pouring thousands cubic meters of CO2 into the sky. Great buildings are wonderful and they have the power to uplift people but don't pretend building a large house in the Australian outback is good for it lol.
talking about carbon footprint with a massive house that has loads of leaky windows and giant thermal bridging and a massive fing pool. bogan takes right here
The house is amazingly innovative and beautiful. However, it's impossible to call such a house sustainable, this is greenwashing eventhough it doesn't necessarily is the will of the architects or the YT page. Indeed, in order for anything to be sustainable, grey energy has to be taken into account, maintenance as well as heating/cooling. If you had it all up and you have one family in such a house, there is no way that it can reach the level true sustainability requires to stay below 1.5°C (meaning, 2Gt of GHG/year/person, about a fifth of the mean of EU per capita emissions).
i love the design of this home. however, I'm disappointed of seeing such a large pool. Even though it's heated by heat pumps, it still consumes a ton of unnecessary energy.

There's something so dreamy and wonderfully other-worldly about beautiful homes in the middle of seemingly nowhere ❤️

Це супер!
The lines are so clean for this house and are so horizontal that it's kind of over whelming
Fire shutters there ?
The fireplace chimney has a kind of flat steel canopy over it what is that design feature called and what is its function?
Its function is to prevent anything to fall into it (like rain, snow, birds or all unwanted things) i don't know how it's called tho.

The music makes the speaker less audible 🥲. Great video nevertheless as always ♥️
Lo mejor sin vecinos molestos
Pretty good modern iteration of Hitler's Berghof Residence. Congrats guys!
Don’t you guys have bugs in Australia?

Why not diversify the channel by start featuring full Architectural typologies so this can become a full Architectural Inspiration channel?
Lovely house, shame about the music being played over the chat.

literally looks like an Asian house lol
Its funny how all these houses and architects all look the same and say the same "philosophical" beliefs
This kid is Greta Thunberg’s brother i guess!
