How to Bring NATURE into the Home: A Japanese Stylist’s Remarkable House in the London Suburbs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- For the fourth film in our Homing In series, co-founder Matt Gibberd meets a couple who have transformed a suburban semi in south-west London into a nurturing home embedded in the natural world.
As with each of the films in the series, we aim to show how adherence to five key design principles - space, light, materials, nature and decoration - allows you, in Matt’s words, “to live a better and more fulfilled life.” Here, we examine Yasuyo and Phil Harvey’s relationship to nature and see how they gently surround themselves with natural materials, furniture and objects, championing the delicate detritus of nature and giving it aesthetic value.
Written and presented by Matt Gibberd

I love this home. It whispers coziness. I would have loved to see a closeup of the floor when they were discussing it... instead of just talking heads and no floor in sight.
Yeah really frustrating - the editor should have cut to some stills of the floor if they didn't get footage!
We should have got some shots of the floor - sorry about that!
Here’s a film we did a while ago with a similar floor style, in case you’d like to check it out:

Love the part where you said "I love the floor" while we never see what the floor looked like 🥰
So frustrating lol
Apologies for not getting any shots of the floor!
We filmed another home a while ago with a similar floor style if you’re interested:

I love and admire that they made this home their own. Nothing generic about it with amazing soft and hardscapes. Beautiful result.
Absolutely loved this. It was a much needed dose of calm and inspiration. Particularly loved the workshop in the garden, the charcoal and the chain rain gutters ❤
Every chapter heading was an exquisite work of art. This is such a peaceful, beautiful home, with every choice so consciously and carefully made. Thank you so much for letting us in. I know I will go back to this video for inspiration time and time again.
What a beautiful and peaceful house.
Beautiful house and people who live in it!
I understand the seasonality and attachment to memory in Japan`s plant landscape,, seasons there being clear and powerful. It is a luxury to have your own space far from home and recreate your memories.
Loved the movie, the garden is an absolute magic and inspiration, will be researching all the plants they have there! 😅
Just beautiful!
Beautiful house. Did I miss the shot of the chequerboard floor?
Unfortunately we didn’t get any shots of the floor - apologies!
A while ago we made a film with a similar floor style though.

So beautiful I had to watch it twice. And that’s happened with several of your videos.
Nice to see a Japanese aesthetic in a western home. I would like to build a home like this as I lived in Japan for 10 years but wrestle with how to combine western comfort with Japanese design. Having a modernist oblong open empty room is not enough. Thanks for posting this and yes, more details would have been nice.
Magnifique 🎉
That was a great video, thanks for sharing. I really liked the chair she sat on right on the end, i need to get myself one of those!
Love the charcoal shed and the planting. And bringing nature into the home and vice verse is always a good decision. I also think the man with the glasses is quite attractive- but probably he’s also quite straight and obviously married…but one can’t have everything I guess… ,-). Greetings from Germany and thanks for all your interesting videos!
Matt, at 8:25, for some of us who are neurodivergent the orderliness of straight lines in the home actually calm the amygdala stress response, not trigger it.
Can we see the floor?
We should have included some shots of the floor - sorry about that!
Here’s another film we did with a similar floor style if you’re interested:

@@themodernhouse_films Thank for taking time to reply. I did not expect that.
Absolutely beautiful
Had to stop the video to come see what was going on with the floor. Why not just make a podcast, why make a video if you don’t want people to see the things you’re talking about? Lol. Why was showing spider removal more important than showing the floor?
Apologies for not getting any shots of the floor - our mistake!
We shot another film a while ago with a similar floor style if you’d like to have a look:

lovely home and garden....
beautiful garden! Could you please tell me where Yasuyo’s outfit is from. Thanks!
Beautiful vibe of the house and garden - the only thing which doesn't fit is that beer bench 😂
magnifique !
Why not show the floor when you admire it?
We should have got some shots of the floor, really sorry!
Here’s another film we did a while back with a very similar floor style if you want to check it out:

Speechless, this was such a beautiful and calming home & garden!! I felt privileged to be able to peek inside.
If that lady would have an Instagram account showing her plant arrangements etc., I would give in and join Instagram on an instant just to follow her.
That beard! 👍
"Naycha"
Cheers to the camera man for showing us the floor 😂 🤦🏼♂️
Show the floor! Show the sushi. If you don't want viewrers to look, don't talk about it. I stopped watching .
