I'm a builder and a huge fan of Victorian homes. This is pure genius! I get so sick of building the same cookie cutter BS that everyone hires us to build. Just copy paste repeat. This is so awesome and different! I'd look forward to going to work everyday if I was building like this
I don't want a "modern victorian", i just want a brand new victorian! Like just make it very similar to the style, maybe add in some early 1900s stuff, makenit brand new and bam

Omg Miss Payne! Thank you so much for watching!!!! And thank you for the for the amazing compliments. But honestly who do you think I learned all these awesome design principles from?! I hope you are doing well!!
@@mtns340 No, it's just obviously wrong. Victorians are lovely on the outside but are notorious for being rather unappealing in terms of interior design. Furthermore, traditional Victorian interior design was created w/ a completely different era in mind in which the technology and functionality of a home was completely different than today.
Now that’s wtf i am talking about! I hate modern architecture and wished someone could finally figure out a way to just evolve old school styles with modern touches. This is perfect! I mean, if I was rich and could afford this the only thing I would asked to be changed is, I would want the kitchen, the living room and the dining area to be separate like traditional Victorian style homes would have had. There is something magical about having those separate rooms walking into a different room, like a maze of a house that I just love about older homes.
This is incredible!!! I grew up in a Victorian home that my parents spent decades remodeling. I always thought I would love a modern Victorian home someday and you made it! Wow. I can’t wait to share this with my parents and my boyfriend. Aside, this makes me think of all the Sims houses I made back in the day but made into real life. Jaw-dropping.
Is it still for sale? I want a Victorian house. And my husband wants a modern house. And you've combined the two! I love the house. You did a great job!
@@johngioffrebuilds You just started a new design, I can't wait to see more. Bigger and a little more gothic feel to it but not spooky but elegant just like you did with this home. I would have loved to see black shingles in the front too. I'm in love with this home just stunning
This is a new build??! Oh how history repeats! This is phenomenal. So prestige and intense. Elegant and out there with complex roof lines, yet subtle and shy in color. You are incredible
It’s clearly a new build, the 2 bay garage, the full bath on main being centrally located, the large kitchen that is open concept. Just the floorplan of a Victorian couldn’t be configured like this house 🤷♂️
this is beyond amazing. ive been obsessed with design of victorian homes but do love some modern touches and struggle to think of ideas for a future home... this is very much giving so many amazing ideas i would have never thought of!
This house is unbelievable, absolutely everything is on point. I am a huge fan of Victorian houses,and this one totally replicates a nineteenth century one beautifully. Bravo to you John, you are Awesome 👌
Your work is AMAZING! I have a big Victorian that I updated, but I LOVE your modern Victorian design. I’ve been waiting and waiting to finally see something like this on video. Thank you!
This house is truly amazing, I love the Victorian era homes and what more newer homes to look like them. But the Primary Bathroom is awesome. The wood and marble is exactly what I need in my home. I’m borrowing the design to a T.
Not a fan, but then I am a huge fan of traditional Victorian. That being said, I am happy for you that you have your dream home. I can appreciate the vision, Congrats!
this is a dream house! I love victorian houses but always thought it would be amazig to have a modern twist, fantastic job. What was the cost of the built?
I want my house built Victorian Style with some modern in it as well. Love all the natural sunlight that comes in, the big windows, and how the dinning area was closed off. I want my dinning and kitchen closed off from the rest of the house. Now I want mine built with stone. Natural light brown tones. Thank you for the inspiration.
they were doing this in the 80s. Not to blow your mind or anything but every victorian house at the time it was built was a “modern victorian house”, and “victorian” more so refers to a timeline. it would be more accurate to say you’ve built a modern queen anne style house which is probably the victorian period style you wanted to remix.
Not to blow your mind bro… but you aren’t understanding the concept. This is a MODERN Victorian home. It mixes both modern and Victorian styles. This is not only a Victorian home it is also a MODERN home. Did I say Modern? The Victorian elements are obvious, but there are also clean lines and huge windows and some areas with open floor plan and so many more modern design elements. It is the most high tech fully automated smart home you can get. And all of the building practices and materials are modern… I’m not even going to address the Victorian vs Queen Anne Lmao
@@johngioffrebuilds Victorian is a timeline. It is not a style. lol. I do more so understand you meant modern as in a styling concept and not a timeline but for the word victorian that’s not proper usage.
I like the idea of Victorian meets western/County. But in my humble opinion. Nothing beats a true Victoria style home. It never goes out of date/style. Sorry 😊 again my opinion.
I love the design, it's just the garage in the front detracts from the aesthetic appeal. Victorian-style homes typically feature expansive porches and detached or side garages.
My preference would be to have the garage behind the house. The city of Austin code is extremely strict. There was no possible way we could do this here. Modern houses need garages. So we went with a badass double insulated steel garage door!
That main bathroom and study is chefs kiss, absolutely beautiful. I like the minimalism and design of the attic space as well. Those cedar shingles are nice, wont they grey out over the years? If so the house is grey so that may be cool with the owners.
I doubt I could afford such a house, but I'm totes interested in having a modern Victorian house. When I don't see prices, I tend to think 7 figures for 3000sq.
@@johngioffrebuilds And I'm sure it's worth every penny. But that's easily double my budget. :( It'd be neat if something that looks like that could be build but kind of dial it down on the luxury part. ;)
@@g04tn4d0 man there are always ways to do that. You can still build a really cool house without importing marble from Italy and without all the crazy trim work everywhere and going with some more modest windows and stuff. Thank you for watching and thanks for the compliments on the house bro!!
I’m going to school for CAD and intend on getting a builders license, I want to build a housing development eventually, not a huge one, maybe 10 homes, but I want all of them to be in s Victorian Style, not necessarily like this, but more ringing into its classic roots, I want large and narrow windows, with vaulted ceilings, and I want them all painted in pastel colors, I need to find land with mature trees because that’s something I’d like as well, and I want a smooth brick road with younger smaller trees in the middle median with flowers and exceptionally landscaped areas… I want my home to be there as well, at the end or the road up higher than the rest
The details of the living space are lovely, but I don't ever want my garage door to be a prominent feature. Nothing spoils a lovely home like saying, "Look! we can park 3 cars in here!".
Don't over-state it. This house does NOT look like it could have been built 100 years ago. It's a fun house, with some nice design elements, but to claim it is Victorian is pushing things a little too far. It's got too many glaringly non-Victorian things about it which just don't tally with Victorian design, even neo-Victorian/ modern blend, such as a double garage door prominently in the facade, and a big projecting semi-circular flat roof. The principal aspect of Victorian design .........its number one criteria, in fact, is decoration. The principle thing about Modernism and post-Modernism is the absence of decoration. That is a circle you'll never be able to square. Victorian design and Modernist/ post-Modernist design are polar opposites. One is the antithesis of the other. Nice fun try, but this is facadism: a bit of fakery. Which isn't to say it hasn't succeeded on it's own terms........it's a nice house.....but the claims made for it are somewhat off the mark, I'm afraid.
It’s called MODERN Victorian it’s not Victorian. It’s a blend of 2 styles. It’s Victorian reimagined in the modern world. It’s a new concept, try to wrap your head around it. Imagine a brand new car with an old body style we all love. Do you think that’s ever been done before?? Or is that just IMPOSSIBLE?!! 😂😂😂😂
@@johngioffrebuilds I absolutely like the concept, I’m just not thrilled with this exact house. I suppose that’s subjective. Kudos for doing what no one else is, there’s a version of this that would be a 10/10 for me I’m sure. I hope you build more of these.
That is not a cupola. It is a turret. They are normally round, but this is a modern house. On a positive note, I like it and the presentation was great!
I really love the zen garden as a mix of victorian and zen. I wish the light fixtures were more vintage and used less light woods throughout the home. The woods used for the floor and staircase seem too modern and cliche. It doesn't respect the historical victorian architecture.
