Apple architect picks a small prefab to savor CA countryside

- When BJ and Danielle Siegel began planning their dream home in the hills of Sonoma County, California, they wanted something light on the land. “Sometimes when people build a house they want to express all the cool things they can get into a house and for us it was kind of the opposite,” explains BJ. “We wanted to do as little as possible and make it a comfortable place to live.”
BJ, an architect who’s also head of store design for Apple, didn’t have time to babysit a build, but he was enamored by the customizable prefab design weeHouse. Created by Geoffrey Warner of St. Paul Minnesota’s Alchemy Architects, the ultra-minimal design is based on a simple box with two walls of sheer windows so the landscape takes center stage.
“I think a lot of people don't necessarily buy into the idea of less is more. I think a lot of people think more is more. And they add features and they add complexity and they add size and it makes them feel like they've actually gotten more and I think it's much more difficult and much harder to actually get there through doing less. That's the fun challenge.”
The Siegels also realized that in the pricey San Francisco Bay Area, modular builds that could be nearly finished in a factory, were a lot cheaper and easier to construct than site-built homes.
In order to create enough space for themselves and their teenage son Jules, the Siegels opted for two boxes placed at an angle from each other (to create privacy). The larger box houses the kitchen (on one wall), open dining room and a box for Jules’ bedroom (with the bathroom and shower tucked behind it). The other box is BJ and Danielle’s bedroom and bath with again a box unit in the middle that houses their closet and separates the space.
“I always feel like really great architecture is like a really great poem. You have to work it work it work it, you reduce it down to the things that only say what they have to say and you get rid of everything else and that's where the sweet spot is for me.”

I think the comment are so critical of him, because the house doesnt reflect what they want to see in a "tiny" house (not that small), but I think it is great that we see different kinds of small living spaces. This one isn't built at all to be off grid or on a budget. It is a house for a small family that obviously has money and the house is very design driven, so it is not as functional as some of the commenters want see. I personally would build my house a different way, but I think this one is inspirational and interesting.
Jens this house is like a restaurant meal of kale and Brussels sprouts and also ounce of wine that costs $250, where people talk about how much fun they are having. I don’t dislike the people, i just don’t like the architecture. I find it totally corporate. So yes, a clash of mentalities. Unsettling. It creates more questions than answers.
@@777jones How is it corporate?
Oh good grief, it's his weekend/camping/get away home. I was wondering where they kept their clothes. It's not small or eco friendly when it's nothing more than a personal camp resort.
Idk about you but this doesn't seem like a cheap thing to do
Not the way they did it, But ;) Very easily done with Shipping Container's with the possible exception of the sliding doors which are fabulous.....
The way he describes that dining table. "The wood just floats and the air just goes through". Mate, that's the case for 99.99% tables with a horizontal top and some legs lol
The art of selling haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I guess that's how you get deals sealed - you say the obvious, but like mysteriously.
You know he works for Apple. He knows how to sell lol
douchebaggery seller
I don't understand why people are nagging on him about this house. It's his house and his money and his ideas. I love how enthusiastic he is about his home, he put a lot of great work into it and it turned out so simply beautiful yet unique, definitely one of my favorite homes I have ever seen, truly nice job.
I agree. I watch it over and over. I learn something new each time.
Me too! I think it's amazing and cool he went for efficiency and simplicity over grandeur waste which lots of rich people would
This is my dream! And my husband dream too. And my daughter. I love the view, the garden with vegetables and the weather, my husband love the design (he is a german ingineer), the materials... and my daughter love the dogs. We all love the pool. Nobody said nothing about the price.....hmmmmm
I wish he used sustainable materials. This house is far from progressive. I wanted to love it..
Alex L
- i'm so glad you're defending him
you're such a big hero
Pretty impressed that they "roughed" it by camping and learning the land before building.
I'm in the process of doing this right now. I have a 4 acre lake lot that I'm spending time learning what I love about it. My plan is smaller structures with an inside-outside feel.
Luckily, this property is in a state and country with no building codes, so I can do whatever the hell I want. 😎
In one point he said "the best things takes effort". :) touche
@@Fluxion11 That sounds amazing!
@@Fluxion11 can i ask how much the land costed ?
All the people complaining: this man having a high paying job doesn't make him a bad person. He can still be interested in alternative living and I think he did a really good job on this space. I love it.
He earned his income, and he can do what he wants with it. I'm sure you wouldn't be upset if you had his salary 💁♀️
Cleopatra Starseed agreed!
Excessive consumption to superficially imitate a sustainable lifestyle? That's a paradox. But you're right, its their money.
Cleopatra Starseed - i'm so glad you're defending him
you're such a big hero
Yeah, he's living the life in a free-enterprise society, but I bet he's a pinko commie who voted sanders...that's the real irony
capitalist bootlicker
I keep coming back to this house over and over again. It's so beautiful and simple. I weep. I hope it survived all the fires too. ❤
Revisiting this episode during the covid 19 thing. This is one of my favorites. Stay safe everyone 💚
I think their house is brilliant! I dont understand the fuss in the comments.. He is an architect and I love how their family is simple ( thinking how rich they might be) and looks happy in their house.
He is an apple engineer so if you break a window you need to replace the entire house.
Ha, ha, I love this comment 😁
TRUE but I SOLD my iPhone 👿 ACCOMPLICE is now Public Enemy. Tim Cook wants money please moves himself to live in Mainland Chinazi with Dictator Xitler happily ever after!
Touche '
'The entire wall' would be more appropriate ))
Drink laughed through nose upon reading this. Good one! 😁
Bet that's the guy who removed the earphone jack
the fat one Hahahaha... “everything has to respect the phone... the earphones can’t touch the phone”
That’s funny
He's head of store design, not product design.
Bro why? 😂😂 My parents is sleeping right now and I’m having a really hard time to control my laughter
So many lucky privileged people in the bay area.....I will bet between land and this home camouflaged as simple is in the millions...while they are blessed by their luck and hard work, San Francisco has so many social problems and poverty....I work hard as well but could never come close to affording this, let alone a weekend pied a terre.
I love these "simple" beautifully designed little dwellings but are the rich going to be the only ones to afford this while affordable housing in cities that depend on middle class workers struggle and suffer with five roommates in a two bedroom apt. ? Good for these people...but is there a whole foods nearby or a Mercedes dealership nearby?
The bigger story here is a person working from Apple managed a good life balance between family and work. Well done.
This is one of the most impressive homes I’ve ever seen. I’m a builder/designer, always hunting; in the thousands of designs I’ve seen, this really is a Monet. Congratulations! Spectacular!
The son seems like a very well adjusted lad and deals with his parents quirks in a very tolerant way 👍👍👍
of course he is. he is gonna inherit it all !
@@DJDanceClassic He doesn't appear greedy and needy. He's from a different generation and upbringing than most of the rest of us.
This generation will need to use their wits to surpass the successes and failures they inherit from us.
NO WAY he's going to bring any girl home for the night ... mom and dad can just take a 'walk' in the backyard
It was interesting that his main preoccupation seemed to be shutting the doors and getting away from people in the space.
@@TimH123 The second I realized there was a teenager living in the house, my perspective on this place shifted. What kind of masochist designs their own home and then doesn't give their teenage boy any privacy?
TLDR:
What I wanted to see: ”Apple exec quits jobs to become self-sufficient”
What I saw: ”Apple exec adds minimalist weekend role-play to maximalist lifestyle”
I’ve come back to this video several times the last few days. I’m super fascinated by the inner conflict it provokes in me and seems to do with many other commentators.
It is very impressive estate from vision to execution. And I recognize that in architecture minimalism is foremost an aesthetic. For me though, minimalism is a way of life. It’s the reason I love this channel; how it gives so many examples of people finding different ways towards a simple lifestyle.
Even though this is clearly not such an example I’m happy you made this video. It’s an example of a corporate executive using the aesthetics and superficial elements of a simple lifestyle as weekend role-play, ADDING it to their conflicting urban lifestyles making it completely unsustainable. It is diluting the concept of minimalism and simple living. An example of what not to strive for.
@RobertLarsson ... wonderfully said , like the Hameau de la Reine at Versailles
Yes! Felt the same way as when people order salad and diet coke at the same time. LOL
Totally agree.
My thoughts exactly. Why not use your expertise and wealth to demonstrate actual economy, efficiency, and environmental friendliness? This demonstrates those qualities at surface level, but no deeper.
norweeezy ... EXACTLY
I just LOVE this home! The location at the base of the hill is perfect too. Great presentation from the homeowner explaining all of the details. I would be interested in the final price.
I also would be interested in final price. 2 older person's, ( retired ) looking to downsize and have always loved Northern Cali. Permitting ? Price ,? Please !❤️ Home at 8:47 really interested me .
I love this! So well thought out. So flexible. Fits so well in its space. Married to the landscape.
That bathroom door is the best metaphor for Apple, ever. It’s a bathroom door, it doesn’t close completely but it was designed like that and if you want to close the door completely, you’re using the door wrong. 😅
Sounds like what a pimp would tell his Hoe's...doublespeak and game.
Haha, yeah that is where I lost it.
let's not forget about the headphone jack.
Their guests are better off just going into the woods instead of using that washroom! How embarrassing when there are people in the living room or worse cooking in the kitchen...
I love how “respecting the glass walls“ ended up disrespecting the family-member's need for privacy. That's one of those design decisions where his alarm bells should have been going off telling him to definately clear this one with his wife!
I know Geoff Warner. He's both an exceptional architect and even more exceptional person. The firm he cofounded was one of the nation's pioneers in both the so-called "Tiny Home" and "Sustainable Home" movements. Fantastic seeing one of their projects receive the spotlight!
@jack g Only eight months to reply? (You should preserve those incredible hot takes for the next pandemic prep.)
I also live up on hill, in a secluded little pocket of SoCal and I will never leave here. The fresh air, the trees, the quiet is immaculate. I work from home and have also adopted a more minimalist approach to my home and my life. The peace I have found here is priceless
Stunning place -- great use of space and looks easy to keep clean. I loved the small details like the built-in nightstands.
Not having the toilet door go all the way must be the "courage" that Apple talked about when they removed the headphone jack.
haha well said!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mama still holding a grudge with that lol
Yeah he lost me on that. Turned from a cool visionary to an autocrat at that moment.
ROTFLMAO!!!
This is my favorite prefab home that I’ve seen on RUclips. I just love how they have the outdoor living and dining room, and the garden. It’s like true indoor/outdoor living.
Mahirimah yeah, ideas Rudolph Schindler made famous in the early 1920s mate 🙂
@@aeropilot4419 i see the possible inspiration but he has has taken it a bit further... right?
The minimal furniture...
BOtH walls are window
He was even so careful to not cut off the view through the house that he didn't even use a full size fridge.
I'm not trying to start an argument...
I personally appreciate your comment.
Can ...will you share more?
A TENT on a patio serves the same purpose.
A VAN at a dispersed campsite serves the same purpose.
A HOMELESS PERSON under a bush has the same amenity.
@@designdoctor247 A full sized fridge will not obstruct the view anymore than the cupboard on the wall... Having the full sized refrigerator in the shed instead of inside the main module is extremely inconvenient when it is raining.
Multiple DESIGN FAILURES in this house.
Oh wait, this is their WEEKEND house.
Brian Babcock Well, it is all he could afford after spending billions on buying that Cali hillside! LOL! No really, cheers to him I think it’s beautiful and nice.
his other house is a house
@Alex Gutierrez He's only an engineer at apple.....
@@BeLikeNexus Description says he's the head architect who designs all of the Apple stores, but, he hired another architect to design 2 boxes with boxes inside them for his weekend house because he was too busy to do it himself🙄
@@contactjoy4140 actually he respected the guys work on the WeeHouse from Alchemy and decided to work with him on the design of their house . The entire property is beautiful .
The simplicity of it is just amazing. And from inside it frames the entire view of the valley. Truly they had to camp out there to find the ideal spot.
I agree less is more. But, in this case "less" will cost a few million dollars.
Leaving you with LESS... money! ;)
No one's talking about cheapness. It's literally about less, physically speaking.
Eldonn Parks : less is always more, (money)
His explanations are artsier than the actual building.
Bullshitting is important in the world of selling overpriced shit.
K Gifford yeah he doesn’t mind repeating himself. Something I noticed about successful people. They repeat and repeat.
*Lol!*
Actually
@Paul Deland Because architecture is an art, and people devote their lives to studying, designing, experimenting, and building beautiful places for people to live. I think you don't understand how much work is involved in designing architecture, or even becoming an architect itself. Everything is very complex to figure out, because every project has a new site with its own unique conditions. The reason why some architecture is so easy to understand, is that an architect put in the hours to design it to read clearly successfully .
Beautiful home, love the way he explain in detail each part of the house.
I really enjoy watching this, also this house is amazing.
I love the way they stayed on the land to learn how it felt and how the elements affected them. I've been doing the same thing at my Place, and it was the best decision. I love the olive tree living room. Great video! Thank you!
I love the Family feeling, too.
Definitely a good idea to learn the layout, with wind, and sun ect.
Living in a tent is far from amazing
This is a beautiful home. I like how he explained all the different materials he used, I definitely learned a thing or two from this video. Very inspiring. This guys idea about how a home can be like a piece of art is great. If I ever make enough money to do something like this I’m doing it.
Fabulous Design.Would be excellent for a few container's.16' (bedroom & can)across two 20's (kitchen/den) & a pair of 20'ers for bedroom
it's actually fairly doable. Pre fab is typically cheaper than construction. The biggest expense is obviously the land. I'm sure that particular piece of land in Sonora s worth a jillion dollars. But no everyone needs to live on a cliff in CA.
Fantastic! I learned so much on this and it gave me so many ideas. The Siegels explained this so well.
For someone who works with Apple, his house is full of windows. 😂
😂😂😂 SMH
Underrated comment 😂💀
You’re so clever! Did you read the first comment or did you come up with that joke all by yourself??! Goof
@Ryota Arai - Funny but the guy is actually an architect who builds/designs Apple stores and has nothing to do w/the actual design of iPhones lol
Oh...
I love how most of the time there is one of the owners who is super immersed in the design and construction of the home and the other one is like “yeah, we've got walls and a roof and this is where we cook and eat ...“
"....the glass wall is sacred.." The bathroom is not shut my man. Now I understand where Apple's fluff comes from - its just an extension of an in-house conversation that the people there have genuinely bought into. Reminds me of Jobs "You're holding the phone wrong" when the product didnt work properly. My dad would correctly say, "Bullshit baffles brains". I still like the vast majority of the house though and I do love the simplicity of the idea.
I agree with "the whole world can look in but you cant see them when inside" reality. The opaque Japanese sliding doors are far superior imo. I think the day time advantages to glass are there, but some privacy as you mention when on the john/ in the shower etc are good things to have. I guess, to each their own .
Loved his enthusiasm for his new house, hey I feel you bud, I'd be that excited too!! What a view & what a simple & sweet home.
Plus I liked to hear him full of joy that spilled out in laughter so easily. And he was too funny "You must respect the glass" when he was sharing how come the restroom door didn't close all the way in the big house.
His wife & son all seemed like genuinely nice, down to earth, humble, simple people. Honestly it was nice to hear them all laugh together, so much love going around.
Seriously this is what people are missing, love, joy and laughter. For me it's a prerequisite, it's what makes life worth living.
Well all in all loved this home and it's inhabitants. Glad to see you all enjoying your life one with another; that's what family is all about ; )
Love this design and explanation. The more I watched (and I watched until the end, which is unusual for me) the more I could feel the space and nature. Wonderful.
yall are trippin this is the perfect getaway house in so many ways. utterly remarkable!
Getaway house, I could live in it for the rest of my life.....😂
Absolutely beautiful.
I've seen so many videos of 'luxury mansions' that were utterly horrendous.
This one, is closer to how I want to live.
Amen, sister.
One of the best designs! Agree that simplicity requires abstract thinking, longer and more planning.
This video is the most amazing one, Kirsten. Thank you so much.
This Combination of containers on the property with the views was absolutely enjoyable to see. I would love to have that house set up, good luck with on going projects.
*guy pushes glass doors around for 30 minutes straight*
...and 9-months later the new iPhone is born.
Jajajajajajajaja
Hahahahahaha! Yes! I think that’s the part of the house that is most interesting to him. Dumb!
@@beetleything1864 anal can be fun
Hah! LOVE those doors! Especially silly during an earthquake!!!
I love this. I will have this in a few years. God willing. Lovely family. They all seem so relaxed and happy! Thanks for sharing and giving me the idea for my own beautiful home!💚💙💜
I love this! I think it’s incredible! And the garden is a dream!
A thought just occurred to me why I might be becoming more and more compelled to living within a smaller, con/restricted area.. Perhaps at my age, mid-40's, nostalgia has become more prevalent in my thoughts.. I close my eyes and can almost see, hear, and even smell my old 6'x2.5' childhood bedroom closet which my grandpa helped me empty and clean to create my own "Nintendo tournament training area" ;) We crammed some thick blankets along the floor and put one of those large corduroy stuffed back pillows against one wall and a small TV on a stand with shelving on the opposite wall. I probably spent more time in that closet than I did in school ;p
Kristen, you do such nice work! Love how you let the owners tell their own story. I'm just sure that the "thumbs downs" you get are someone's opinion of the house, NOT your excellent videos.
I loved watching this video. I loved watching him being sincerely happy about the design and explaining every nook and cranny of the house. Thank you
This house and this family really made my day. There actually are healthy, happy, normal humans living on this planet. :)
Get out of your cave much?
The amount of *nature is the best part of this house.*
Not the house itself, but the plants around make it more fun to live in.
Agree
For me, this would be a fantastic primary home, so I hope they plan on retiring here one day.
I love the garden and orchard.
I am about to embark on the wonderful journey of building a small house on a small island and the ideas, insights and knowledge in this video are fantastic!
Thank you for sharing such an inspirational getaway home, so much learn from this design!
Great job guys!
I love how simple and clean, and not all mucked up this film is. You inspire!
Beautiful idea, lovely family! Great Job, I take away a lot from this design!
Beautiful property. Lots of amazing ideas! Must be sensational to stay there.
There are naysayers but for me I'd say I like this build.
One of the beautiful place with minimal architecture. Will be a great memory for the kids and grandkids who grew here and will never go far 👍 loved it
I love this! Small but feels spacious. And I love that it is surrounded by nature
Enjoyed this segment back in the day but just as amazing second time around... Thank you!
I agree
@@designdoctor247 ....👍👍
The view seems absolutely amazing!!
this is one of my favorite videos. compelling to revisit .
Thank you for showing these gems, Kirsten! Always so much fun watching it!
My goodness, what an incredibly beautiful project. I saved this to my pre-fab dream house file. Very inspirational and every detail so thoughtful. A very generous education for anyone considering this type of home. Thank You!
Are you really going to use all of the design failures in your dream house?
This is a beautiful house. Fine presentation. I hope is faired well in the fires.
Love this... looks beautiful and calming. Think it really reflects the family. 🥰
How about everyone in the comments just calms down??
Yes, you could say he is just acting minimalistic when thats clearly not the case, but thats besides the point... the house looks really nice and seems very functional for a vacation home
And yes, they could have tried getting the house to be more off grid/eco friendly etc, but they didnt and you shouldnt complain just because you wouldve liked it to be that way
he's an architect so of course he is going to sweat the details and look for the join that is seamless and efficient: that is what I would expect and want from him. For an apple architect I think they are humble: yes the house isn't cheap and the pool is amazing, but compared to what he could have done with this money I think they are very grounded as a family and live simply. I would love a house like this and possibly another room as a work room atelier..... if and when I retire somewhere where I can be warm .... like Majorca lol....
Loveit. Lol.

They hv two houses...the regular one is in city
The reason we are currently building low income housing in Sonoma county .1 out 2 homes is a vacation home or air Bnb rental .Nothing humble about owning a home in SF and a playhouse in Sonoma were an acre cost a Million or more.Most blue collar workers are commuting into Sonoma because affordable housing just isn't available .
Small, light & hugely expensive - just like Apple products!
Minimalism is maximally expensive.
Yup.
@@sharondymond Yup.
And probably build in China...
It would not have to be that expensive - the house, that is. It just not had to be cost effective in the least because he's a pretentious, vastly overpayed apple bubble dweller able to afford anything.
Very inspiring.. thanks you all. Specially the architect
This home is simple and beautiful , my favorite by far !
love it....like how the dog is walking around like....yah it's alright :-)
except for the ticks the guy was pulling off the dog
Respect the wife's opinion more than any Glass Wall,or you may be on the outside of said wall!
Thank you for sharing this journey into your passion. I am inspired.
Love your channel Kirsten, it reminds me that life can be peaceful
What a cool house, how inspiring. I hope to live with mother nature too.
Simplicity............ for the very well heeled.
georgebushwack If you had the doors rolled back and .22 bullet passed through, you'd have $350K in glass damage. That Ipe comes from South America and it's so dense you can't nail into it, you have to drill, to join two boards.
georgebushwack, you can actually design small urban apartments very nicely. I remodel urban condo with attention to detail, so poor people can have nice design also using commodity products. But few people have eyes for design.
It's awesome how passionate he is about the house and how all the ideas came toghether.
I love many different styles from traditional to contemporary. This is absolutely to die for, but the site makes it magical
I really enjoy these videos. Thank you .
This is a beautiful space and blends in well with its natural surroundings. Thanks for letting us visit this property. I would have liked to have heard more about the features of the land - altitude, weather patterns, seasons; and the structure's nuts and bolts - water access, plumbing, road access, solar, rain catchment (I know - they don't do that but they could), electrical, wifi.
Simple, beautiful, amazing!! I love it!!
Love the simplicity yet the functionality of the design!
Love it!!! I love houses who are close to nature, 'cos nature is fantastic! He made an excellent house 😊
Does it come with the headphone jack though.
You don’t have to skip any on this video trust me it worth you to see this kind of masterpiece! Perfect and brilliant, nice job.
Amazing concept, clear instructions, Thanks for shearing!
Love it! But I’m impressed with the pool covering, that’s mind blowing!
This was really quite the Portlandia skit! A bit on the long side but Fred really embraced this character "BJ".
I greatly appreciate the attention to detail! I can see how he became architect for such a revolutionary company.
That garden trick is super creative! I love it!
Simplicity is a tent and stove,a stream for drinking and bathing in.A small vegetable garden,a solar panel and going to sleep when the sun goes down and waking to the dawn chorus of nature.I dont want to even think about how much this project cost.Americans have a particularly skewed version of what simple living is.But you dont have to go far in this world to see what cinder blocks and tin roofs feel like.
not americans just rich americans
would have been nice to see some footage of the house at night
This is just wonderful!!! Probably the best I've ever seen. Love it!!
Absolutely fantastic. I'm undergoing a personal research to, later on, start building a home just like this concept: centered on minimalism.
What fascinates me most is how everything naturally connects and how little it interferes with the surroundings. Taking the connection with nature is so important and it appeals to me a lot mainly because I'll also live within a mountain range in Puerto Rico.
Brilliant job, thank you so much for sharing this! I'll definitely subscribe to see more similar content like this.
I'm obsessed with this house. It's utterly simple, warm, and beautiful. The galvanized stairs connecting the two units breathe ergonomic elegance. The corten steel disappears into the landscape. The swimming pool provides much needed relief from the harsh sun and stone. Upon first glance this home looks like it's made from two shipping containers but with patience the details reveal themselves. The line between house and nature are blurred. Most importantly, I love this family. You could tell they are genuinely good people. All the best to them.
LOL. GOOD FAMILY? THEY DON'T ALLOW THE DOG IN THE HOUSE!
How SLIPPERY is METAL when it RAINS?
Definitely NOT ERGONOMIC ELEGANCE when the steps are not spaced for a human gait!!
How ERGONOMICALLY ELEGANT is climbing over doors to get in and out of the son's bed everyday, or to make it?
NOTHING IN NATURE IS SQUARE!! NOTHING.
NATURE does not create squares of any kind.
The House Design is Not Nature Harmonic!!
@@contactjoy4140 You're a hoot, Joy! I would love to meet you someday. You're obsessed with rain and now the son's bed! Is the sky falling? An existential crisis, perhaps? When Frank Stella came out with his black striped paintings, everyone said it looked like wallpaper. Like art, this house is ahead of its time. For the rest of the world, there's the Property Brothers.
@kirsten Dirksen, I really love your vids and this has to be one of my personal favourites (design concept, lifestyle, etc - I live in Australia with a similar climate). The property kept getting better. The typography of the land, the view!! The dwellings, the outdoor living/entertaining, the pool, garden and orchard and the fact it has direct access to hiking trails... dream living. Wonderful!
That´s exactly what I was thinking, you wanted to replicate the experience of sleeping on a tent. And you did it, great inspiration. Thanks
Wow.this guy is a genius.u can tell by how hes restless and always thinking.thats a brain that works 24/7
One of the best living spaces i've seen online. So simple,natural and practical
I’ve been reading the comments and I see so much hate in the comments from most of the people ( don’t envy don’t judge, be better, make better) personally I loved de design and I think Beauty it’s so relative to each person the impact on the landscape is minimal with this right material selection, that the house it’s not self sustainable doesn’t meen that is not a good project this guy is an Arquitect not an engineer you can end up also with a horrible nonsense eyesoring self sustainable house
I love the house too but I think the comments are hilarious (without hate!).
Kristen, Ive watched this about 20 times at the least. Im a woodworker with a design build degree and my interest lies in smaller spaces and i cannot think of a place that better exemplifies minimalism, simplicity and high design.
really? that's kinda sad, you should spend some time look around more.
Daniel" AND, a complete lack of personality and imagination. I'm very much for minimalism (stop buying so much crap and get rid of all the crap you own), but if your home looks like an Airbnb, I think you've taken it too far. What happened to showing our personality through the way you live, through your home? People who want to hide their personality by living such an extreme minilimist lifestyle worry me. Makes me wonder if they're serial killers who want to leave no clues around.
; )
@@arx754 By your reasoning, Ed Gein must not have been a serial killer for openly displaying his personality through his human-derived decorative pieces and being the opposite of a minimalist, more akin to a hoarder; oh, but wait--he *was* a serial killer, which goes to show the absurdity of your reasoning. Your comments reeks of toxic cynicism and envy. And of course, you've obviously completely missed the point behind minimalism. It's analogous to Jeet Kune Do---discarding that which is not useful or needed. That in and of itself it an expression of personality. I empathise with people who appreciate simplicity. However, lacking empathy, not personality, is the hallmark trait of serial killers, which you've just bungled. You've given yourself away. :P
Very Nice.
I love it~all of it. It is beautiful…to have the view of those mountains and hills and fields, I mean, it’s magical.
I see why he is proud of it…excellent vision.
I absolutely love this home design so creative and interesting...Cheers
