I'm so appreciative of you for doing these Wednesday design videos. You're the only one I've seen carrying architectural beauty to the (RUclips) masses. Thank you so much for your labors!
Glad you like them!
It looked like the architect was going for a modern/Caribbean home, you made it a classic/Caribbean. Much better as the classic. Cheers Kirk
Thanks, much appreciated.
For any of these consults that follow through to completion, we would love to see updates. The final result is very satisfying to see.
Ok, will do.
Love this series. Brent is the architecture prof we all wish we'd had. :-)
The 'singapore' house also refers to this style of architecture, and the designs were trying to achieve flow thru ventilation.
Agreed. Thx!
1000% better, love the classical approach.
Classical works for a very simple reason. It obeys the laws of the Lord God as He established creation. Golden ratio, fibonacci, etc. Beauty is mathematical. So happy, Brent is bringing Beauty back in buildings again.
Me too! Thx.
You certainly have some ideas in mind for this structure. Can't wait to see more on this residence.
Noted. Coming soon.
Beautiful redesign
Thank you.!!
As a fan of the classical, I am certainly drawn to the redesign.
Yep, thanks.
I've said it before, but this is another Master Class by Brent Hull!
Thank you!
Much improved! I appreciate that your proposed redesign included a range of alternatives. I would love to see your design ideas for the other facades.
Noted! Coming soon. Thx.
I could share some perspective I’ve gleaned over the years from relatives in Key West, but that’s an entirely different story from Miami design, one that involves Conch Houses built and designed by ship builders more so than by architects and home builders. My first exposure to this architecture goes back to 1956 and the home my aunt lived in as the third or fourth generation in the same house. My first exposure saw the aluminum jalousie windows recently installed over what had been screened openings with functional shutters to quiet the seasonal cooler air and tropical storms. I also learned that convertible tops only came down in the evenings and that having the windows lowered and the back window open resulted in greater daytime comfort with the top up than you could hope to attain in a late model sedan. Something about a canvas top has intrigued me ever since. A/C was still fairly rare then both in cars and in homes. I have vivid memories of turtle pens, the submarine base, and Duvall Street, long before I knew much about Ernest Hemingway, feral chickens and six-toed cats. Thanks for allowing me to reflect.
Thanks for sharing. Good stuff.
Very different than they originally had but I love it! It looks so important now
Nice. Thx.
You should do a start to finish build project. I’d love to see how to actually construct these details. You can’t find it anywhere on RUclips. Everyone builds cheap.
Good idea. Thx.
Great job, again. It was exciting to see you do a Caribbean style exterior from a more formal design to more casual finish.
Thanks for watching.
The broken roof pitch is a Caribbean theme itself. Coral would be a traditional rustication. Yikes! Use some stone facing to give the same feel. Can't wait to see what else you have for this house, and a follow-up on the build would be fantastic!
Noted. will do.
The house is cool. The design learning is neat. But my favorite part is to learn that Brent also colors in the wood end of his pencils when he is working.
Haha. Thx.
What a gorgeous design Brent. Timeless!
Thanks so much!
Yes, so much better! Also, I always appreciate the historical context, that's one of the elements that make your videos so fascinating. Thanks!
Thanks so much.
You show so many options in the sketch of the front elevation. They all work and I can't decide which I like the best.
Nice. Thanks.
Thank you Brent, I enjoy the education.
Thanks!
Another great Wednesday design video, Brent! On your sketch for this home, you've offered keystones above 2 of the rectangular 1st floor windows. I'm surrounded by mc. mansions, and keystones are slapped onto every dang house, arched windows or not. Help me understand when to use keystones, please!!
Haha, yes, they are a sticker often used badly. Historically, they have functional needs in solid masonry walls. They actually worked to keep the stone above from falling down. They need to be properly sized and properly installed. Thx.
Very cool 😊
Thanks 😁
WAAAAAAAY better! Good work Brent! I did like the observatory on the top of the roof, I wonder if it could have still been done, maybe in the middle instead of off to the side like in the original. I have seen it on some Cape Cod homes that look very nice and classical.
Yes, still working through various options. Thx.
Personally I’m for the rusticated and the pediment.
Me too. Thx.
🔥
Word.
I adore Alys and its butterys. I've not seen them elsewhere. I will say, I do miss the widow's walk. Is there any historic precedent that would allow its inclusion on an aesthetic like this?
Yes, there is. Good precedent actually.
The problem is there’s to many builders building and designing spec homes. We need rich people building their dream homes. Or at least the government should be giving out low to no interest loans so that people can dream up, design and build great homes. The savoy hotel in south beach has some great architectural facade details that I wish would get more incorporated into many of the new builds.
Good idea. Thx.
It seems like these people really liked the idea of a broken pitch roof- is there a classical way to incorporate that?
Those flared eaves are a common traditional detail with a lot of precedent. I don't see why they couldn't remain.
There weren’t any flared eaves on either Brent’s or the original plans. Are you referring to the exposed rafter tails at the cornice of the original maybe?
Perhaps I should have said kicked eave? I'm referring to the change in roof pitch to a lower pitch at the eaves. I would call that a flared eave but perhaps some would say that flare implies a radius or curved transition.
Yes, Thx.
why anyone in the world would think: "yeah, let me explicitly model my house after a slave owner's house" is beyond me. Historic precedent without historic context is far from ideal.
ok
Slave owners had style, babe.
