Arvin, you and Enes need to learn about induction cooktops! Every time theres an induction cooktop comes up you both stumble around the benefits lol. You won't burn your hand. The great thing about them, aside from how they get your pots/pans to temp almost immediately, is that only the pot gets hot. The cooktop always stays cool. Makes it great for kids.
@seyahatt6843 first of all, i dont think that's what he was referring to...I took what he said to mean that if the cooktop was "on" you could burn yourself. The marble won't get hot because induction only heats magnetic material.
@@ArvinHaddadOfficial that’s how you know when someone has too much money. No one else makes a hobby out of spending it in wacky & creative ways; like pretending they don’t have a liver and/or kidneys so they can spend a fortune on “detoxing”.

We learn a lot from you, it's a very good educational channel. Architects are also artists, often their art exceeds the utilitarian purpose of a house, but as you stated in a previous video, there must be a balance. Thanks, Arvin!
I’m doing something I’ve never done…watched both Enes’ walkthrough and Arvin’s review at the same time. One on the TV, the other on my tablet. I watch a part of Enes, pause, then play Arvin’s review of that part
I've been watching these videos about really expensive real estates from multiple youtubers like the one you've shown here. And the thing is, they only show the strong features, it's actually so interesting to see you critique it! earned a new sub!
Love the way he takes the presenter of the video’s mangled ramblings and musings apart… The house is astonishing in its design, imagination, execution and elements
I looked up what this invisble stove is about: It's a a normal induction cooktop that is installed underneath the surface one chooses as a countertop. There are multiple companies that sell them. Because induction works by creating an electromagnetic field around a copper coil that heats up compatible cookware, it does not heat the countertop itself. The black mat is there so that the heat coming off the bottom of the cookware doesnt heat the countertop (because the cookware does heat up). What I don't understand is how exactly one should know where the single hobs are located, because in order to properly function the cookware would need to be placed on one of the hobs (you don't usually put a pan halfway on a hob).
Furthermore, it would be incredibly annoying to always open up the drawer to control the induction fields and the drawer being in the way while you are stirring your pots and pans...
It really depends on what they used in the kitchen (I haven’t watched the video that far yet). But brands like Gaggenau or BSH have come out with full-surface induction cooktops, where the entire ‘area’ is filled with induction coils, which automatically detect what coils have cookware on top and then control which coils get powered. I assume something like that might be in use here.
Excellent takes on layout and design, reflecting both positives and negatives. The rub for me is an unguarded and loud undertone of jealously for Enes and his success.
As a creative director in LA for over 25 years, I’ve always had a love for architecture and interior design. Design reviews can sometimes be harsh , but the critique here is spot on and accurate. I’ve seen houses for one quarter the price that have a million times more style. Ultimately a negative review is a great learning experience, and I hope to see homes in LA equally reviewed.
I like seeing someone take an objective approach to mansions to help break the trend of “WOW BIG EXPENSIVE HOUSE!!!!” that’s gotten clicks on RUclips for years. His success is deserved as the commentary here has always been excellent and entertaining. Nick Rochefort’s streams are like this but with middle class homes, has been doing well for a few years rating viewer submissions live from Zillow. Perhaps this channel could do the same and rake in the $
I really abhorred the amount of undifferentiated seating areas in this house. Felt like a high-end college student center that will only be properly utilized as an event space, not a home
A large percentage of buyers, when looking at real estate, focus on what is going to impress their friends instead of what is going to be pleasing on the day-to-day. I know this for a fact because I've been a realtor for more than 25 years, women are very prone to be concerned only about what their friends are going to think and how much their friends going to be impressed.
Nah, a house can be both impressive and functional for 177,000,000. Acting like having the best of both worlds is unattainable, the house should do it all
Hey Arvin! To answer your question a builder out here in Washington did a very similar thing in the kitchen with a under counter top heating element. It is a induction cooktop, the counter is essentially cut thin enough to allow for the induction coils to still transfer electrons to the pot. The counter remains completely cool to the touch! The mistake here was there is no visible lines indicating the placement of the coils.
Yes, I've been waiting for this one, thanks Arvin! I believe the bathroom is the door in the far left corner at 16:11... dont know why Enes didnt mention it though
Amazing videos. The commentary is fantastic. Even though us normal folk will never be able to afford these types of properties they have elements that we can learn from for our tiny houses and the commentary explains the 'why' so well. Subscribed!!
I watched the original and was WAITING to hear what Arvin had to say about the "Japanese tea room" these videos really help me feel more sane when I'm yelling at Enes through my screen
That marble cook top uses magnets when you put that pad. It uses electromagnetic elements to heat up but when you put your hand(s) on it, it stays cold at all times
Yes. I saw that. 😁 I remember seeing an interview with Mikey & Enes at the end of a tour. They had mentioned someone commented how there were more rooms not shown in a previous tour. They mentioned that at times they do not show each space in the property tour due to timing and the length of the video.
@22:25 those brass poles on the staircase acting as like a fence are way more dangerous than not having any barrier there at all. People get injured by exposed rebar all the time. If you stumbled and went head first into one you’re lucky if it just takes an eye out. My dad’s childhood best friend died from falling into a pole like that on a baseball field.
Agreed. Too many T.V.s ( one behind the grand stairway has to go ) - move the dining room - get rid of the NFT art - not enough bathrooms first floor - lack of yard privacy from the entrance.. The house is way overqualified for that average lot & price point.
I actually like it's eclectic theme(at least most of it). for me it's biggest flaw is having only eight bedrooms(and in Enes video, they only show six of them so I donno if they're counting office and the small room for staff's break time as bedrooms or not). I believe a mansion with this asking price, needs to have at least ten real bedrooms because ulta rich might have 24hour staffs like butler, nanny and whatnot. if they also have a big family there's no way eight bedrooms will be near enough. if I was paying +100 mil price, I would have wanted a wing with a few rooms for maids and staff
The tree stump reminds me of my family home. When we were building it a tree was knocked down in a storm on our friends property and we took the dead tree and now it sort of cascades over our dining table.
Thanks Arvin! Your content is my absolute fav on RUclips. I watch every one asap. I like to longer version as well. One day I will look for a luxury manse to buy for my own and I will be full of educated knowledge of real estates. 😊
I don't get the huge door to the tiny tea room, I expected something way more grand fitting that massive gate. You sit in that room to chill, looking at your motorcourt, why? Do you really have to push the front door open with your bodyweight like Enes, why? There is no storage room for coats etc. in the foyer, there's just that huge wall that takes forever to open so you can go inside the office? The office is great, but I get a bit of a cellar vibe due to the large picture window above. The office isn't seperate from the house, it's straight off the entry, what are you talking about? I don't know how soundproof that sliding door is (seems pretty thick), but as you said, staff will be coming and going, I suppose not all (most?) through the front door, but still, it's a bit of a flaw for me. There is a door behind the desk to the left, that's probably the bathroom. The chairs at the dining table are weak, I will never understand people choosing short backrests. The big ass stone sink is weird, so you don't have a powder room (there has to been one, come on, show me - ok, I got the point in the video where they show it, subpar location), but you can wash your hands right next to the dining table, what the fuck? Can you take a whiz there as well while you're at it? The screen behind the staircase is truely unnecessary, what's with the strange mirror placements around it, at first I thought it was a video artefat? I wonder if a gigantic mirror could've been sweet there. Also I hope noone ever stumbles and falls on those metal rods sticking out behind the staircase rallings. How is this the best house in LA? Outdoor dining only has those log pieces to sit on? Hangar door... huh? Uhm, the rain chain/statue just funnels the water onto the patio, wat? Family dining room is horrible. Looks like the staffs break room. Chefs kitchen is insane, wow.
Arvin's talking about privacy and the way it's placed so that no one can look inside while showing multiple drone images covering every angle of the property 😅
I believe what Enes referred to as a Japanese tea room was designed to represent a Japanese Engawa traditional porch to speak with guests or conduct business outside of the house. It could also be designed to play a role as Genkan to the office. I can’t see how it would be a tea room.
Not sure if it was lost in translation, because English doesn't have an equivalent room, or the fact we associate offering guests tea in the same fashion the Engawa exists.
I so agree with Arvin. The art is to stop adding stuff when it's already enuff. Failing to do so is often driven by greed for the extravagant and lack of patience. They should all follow this quote from French writer and poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Airman's Odyssey: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Great review, with so many wonderful ideas. I wonder if the house behind will end up being so high that it can look into the roof area of this home. Have you reviewed The One? I couldn't find it on your channel.
- I didn't see a door for the office. Do you have to open the huge sliding wall every time you go into your office. If you want privacy do you have to close the wall as if you are in a crypt? -I don't want a huge sink dividing the living room and dining room. Don't let that sink in. -For 177M I don't want to see any cables hanging from wall frames. They can all be put behind the wall. -I don't mind all of the extra TV screens or art face sculptures. If it gets to be too much you can just remove them.
Arvin… I love that pool!! The colors of the tile and the hot tub on the center! The way to get into the pool is to sit on wall and just pivot yourself into the pool.
I remember there is a property close by that you also reviewed, called Casa Encantada. It’s still listed at 195 million and still hasn’t sold, but it has a much larger and better lot than this one. The two are literally a one-minute drive from each other.
Parts of this home are spot on, the materials and textures. Other areas just miss the mark, either too much going on or facility's missing like the TV on the stairs, the lack of bathroom in the office.
The family dining room feels like they just suddenly decided to use footage from a different house tour. I wouldn't believe in a million years that it's the same property as the office and the staircase lol
39:27 Perspective and water reflections may be the reason. With the raised pool, the angle at which people look at the water surface is flatter so it gives the impression of more distance snd a better chance of the trees reflecting on the pool. That handrail that also serves as shelve on the otherhand is a massive hazard, since people can easily knock over the glasses and have them land on people downstairs. And glas with a 15ft drop on somebodys head doesn't end well.
The room with the NFTs at the "lobby" should be simply a water feauture creating shimmering light reflections, or a 2 story high art piece. Or maybe close that open floor entirely.
After watching a lot of your videos i'm getting better and better at spotting flaws in these properties. When i was watching enes' video I was thinking: What would Arvin say? and i'd say i have spotted many of the same flaws u did.
Arvin Haddad, when you don’t like an element on a property, could you tell us what you would have done instead to make it better Thanks and good video!
That’s called an induction table. Induction doesn’t heat the table directly; instead, it uses magnetic fields to generate heat within the metal of the pot. For cooking, you place a rubber pad (so you don't burn the marble table) on the designated induction spot and set the pot on top of it. The cooking areas are fixed, not automatic or movable. Also, this setup isn’t usually recommended for luxury kitchens because the thin marble layer above the induction area can interfere with the magnetic field, reducing the heating power and making it harder to cook food evenly.
I agree on the bathroom needed in the office, also at least two outside by the pool, i would have a taller waterfall in the staicase instead of the t.v , charcoal grill inside? good luck!, wait to get to the garage which for me is extremely small for a property of this caliber, and not to mention the exhibition master bed, in view of everyone partying on the rooftop!
46:36 honestly i forget to subscribe to a lot of channels, cause if i watch a bunch of your videos, then youtube just keeps on recommending them to me, and i keep on watching them 😂
That is an invisacook cooktop. It will not burn you or heat the countertop surface. It only heats the metal in the stainless steel cookware placed on it. (Can't heat glass, cast iron, copper aluminum or ceramic). Fine for show kitchen. I personally would like a burner with fire somewhere in my house.
The number of points of failure of all those motorised gizmos and massive pivot doors!! After a couple of years I guarantee at any time there will be at least one thing out of action. Sure the assistant will organise the repairs, but it will be annoying and never-ending.
At ~ 43:30 I think it is Induction cooktop. You will need special cookware but nowadays it is common. Good think about it is it won`t burn (as body is not inductive? i guess is the world) and energy transfer is immediate like with gas cooktop. Downside I`ve already mentioned.
Exactly this. It's induction so needs ferrous metal cookware. The silicone mats are placed on the worktop to protect it from the heat of the pans. Enis is correct that the induction top will detect where the pan is.
Hey Arvin! I see a big flaw and problem with the hangar door! I know by working with cranes and funfair rides. Did Enez say: Hydraulic??? I played that part 3x and I think he did?! The problem is the wear and tear of a Hydraulic line and it can also burst! You don't want Hydraulic oil on guests or your self and also not in your home! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Even though I didn't feel like watching the other type of video you uploaded recently, just do it if you feel good. Someday, I might also feel like let's watch something other than a critique video then I could watch that type of videos.
I would love to see a video with Arvin viewing a house with Enes together, it would be so funny Enes saying wow look at this door, arvin No this is gonna need resetting a few times a year lol
Architects can be so insufferable. I like this one better than most. It's an amazing home. Love the sexy quiet nooks. I'm installing an Invisacook cooktop in an apartment right now. It's induction, so it doesn't heat up. If the installer does it properly, there there are inconspicuous marks etched into the stone to show where to place the silicone protective pad and the pan. It works great, like any induction cooktop. But overall, the house is overdesigned. The creepy faces, wall climbers, the gross rain chain, the excessive LED cove lighting, the lanterns capping the pillars, the raised pools that look like mall fountains, the vertical louvers, the outdoor theater.... all visual clutter. He had a good design, but then kept tinkering.

And it’s easier to clean too

Architects are also artists, often their art exceeds the utilitarian purpose of a house, but as you stated in a previous video, there must be a balance.
Thanks, Arvin!
I love how the home allows in so much natural light without being to overpowering at the same time.
I’m doing something I’ve never done…watched both Enes’ walkthrough and Arvin’s review at the same time. One on the TV, the other on my tablet. I watch a part of Enes, pause, then play Arvin’s review of that part
I've been watching these videos about really expensive real estates from multiple youtubers like the one you've shown here. And the thing is, they only show the strong features, it's actually so interesting to see you critique it! earned a new sub!
The stone in this house is the most beautiful I have seen on this channel, Arvin.
Love the way he takes the presenter of the video’s mangled ramblings and musings apart…
The house is astonishing in its design, imagination, execution and elements
I looked up what this invisble stove is about: It's a a normal induction cooktop that is installed underneath the surface one chooses as a countertop. There are multiple companies that sell them. Because induction works by creating an electromagnetic field around a copper coil that heats up compatible cookware, it does not heat the countertop itself. The black mat is there so that the heat coming off the bottom of the cookware doesnt heat the countertop (because the cookware does heat up).
What I don't understand is how exactly one should know where the single hobs are located, because in order to properly function the cookware would need to be placed on one of the hobs (you don't usually put a pan halfway on a hob).
Furthermore, it would be incredibly annoying to always open up the drawer to control the induction fields and the drawer being in the way while you are stirring your pots and pans...
@@Dorthiven13 Plus it's hidden inside a drawer AND another drawer.
That is what the black pad is for besides to lessen the hat transfer to the surface. My guess is it is just a single or double element cooktop.
@@Dorthiven13agreed, a flip down drawer would be better.
It really depends on what they used in the kitchen (I haven’t watched the video that far yet). But brands like Gaggenau or BSH have come out with full-surface induction cooktops, where the entire ‘area’ is filled with induction coils, which automatically detect what coils have cookware on top and then control which coils get powered. I assume something like that might be in use here.
Excellent takes on layout and design, reflecting both positives and negatives. The rub for me is an unguarded and loud undertone of jealously for Enes and his success.
I am so happy you keep dropping these long format videos! Love thr channel.
I am glad you like them!
Knew this was coming as soon as I watched the Enes video. Hope you didn't get whiplash getting this video out Arvin!
This is by far the best ultra high end house. It’s so good, it’s warm, beautiful and incredibly done.
Ohhhh my days!! I knew Arvin wasn't gonna skip this house tour.
As a creative director in LA for over 25 years, I’ve always had a love for architecture and interior design.
Design reviews can sometimes be harsh , but the critique here is spot on and accurate. I’ve seen houses for one quarter the price that have a million times more style.
Ultimately a negative review is a great learning experience, and I hope to see homes in LA equally reviewed.
This Channel blew Up lately, awesome Work ❤
I like seeing someone take an objective approach to mansions to help break the trend of “WOW BIG EXPENSIVE HOUSE!!!!” that’s gotten clicks on RUclips for years. His success is deserved as the commentary here has always been excellent and entertaining.
Nick Rochefort’s streams are like this but with middle class homes, has been doing well for a few years rating viewer submissions live from Zillow. Perhaps this channel could do the same and rake in the $
Thank you 🙌
I really abhorred the amount of undifferentiated seating areas in this house. Felt like a high-end college student center that will only be properly utilized as an event space, not a home
At least it's more homey than the sterile white boxes.
@@Libertaro-i2u Yeah, instead it's a sterile wood box with weird decor. So much better, right?
In a house of that dimension you come up inadvertently with redundant spaces that have to be filled somehow.
@@mfitzburger5137 I hope negative weirdos like you stay the f away from me.
This property suffers from what many properties do, and that is appealing to a group or a party, but not day-to-day for real family.
A large percentage of buyers, when looking at real estate, focus on what is going to impress their friends instead of what is going to be pleasing on the day-to-day. I know this for a fact because I've been a realtor for more than 25 years, women are very prone to be concerned only about what their friends are going to think and how much their friends going to be impressed.
Nah, a house can be both impressive and functional for 177,000,000. Acting like having the best of both worlds is unattainable, the house should do it all
The Tea room is properly arranged with opposing seats and coffee table in between while bringing nature indoors.
Hey Arvin! To answer your question a builder out here in Washington did a very similar thing in the kitchen with a under counter top heating element. It is a induction cooktop, the counter is essentially cut thin enough to allow for the induction coils to still transfer electrons to the pot. The counter remains completely cool to the touch! The mistake here was there is no visible lines indicating the placement of the coils.
No. There are no electrons transferred to the pot!
Newell Coaches now provides an induction solid cook top with pads that heat up for cooking. The pads are removed after the cooking is complete.
With Arvin, no sugarcoating and no beating around the bush! 😅
Yes, I've been waiting for this one, thanks Arvin!
I believe the bathroom is the door in the far left corner at 16:11... dont know why Enes didnt mention it though
I’m glad you covered this house…I was surprised by the amount of things I saw when this video was first posted. It doesn’t even seem like a house.
I'm glad you seem to like this place. If they could lower the price to $20.17, I could put in an offer.
14:33 I fell in LOVE with that window in the library/office.
Amazing videos. The commentary is fantastic. Even though us normal folk will never be able to afford these types of properties they have elements that we can learn from for our tiny houses and the commentary explains the 'why' so well. Subscribed!!
Best episode yet, Arvin teaching more about real estate than my entire university course
I’ve been waiting on this one!!!!! Gonna watch after work this evening..Cheers from Michigan🍻
Arvin, I'm such a fan. So many, maybe most, channels have no clue what they are talking about. You though are an asset to the industry
I've started waiting for Arvin's review of Enes reviews, and not watching the original from Enes first 😀
I watched the original and was WAITING to hear what Arvin had to say about the "Japanese tea room" these videos really help me feel more sane when I'm yelling at Enes through my screen
That marble cook top uses magnets when you put that pad. It uses electromagnetic elements to heat up but when you put your hand(s) on it, it stays cold at all times
at 15:08 you can see a door in the office, must be the bathroom he forgot to review
Yes. I saw that. 😁
I remember seeing an interview with Mikey & Enes at the end of a tour. They had mentioned someone commented how there were more rooms not shown in a previous tour. They mentioned that at times they do not show each space in the property tour due to timing and the length of the video.
i think it's a door to the staircas, 20:15 to the right
@@Sofy-cq9iy 20:15 is an elevator, 15:08 should be a bathroom as you can see the lock on the door
@22:25 those brass poles on the staircase acting as like a fence are way more dangerous than not having any barrier there at all. People get injured by exposed rebar all the time. If you stumbled and went head first into one you’re lucky if it just takes an eye out. My dad’s childhood best friend died from falling into a pole like that on a baseball field.
Maybe adding little sharpened but decorative spearheads would help?😄
I honestly can't believe that's allowed by code. Someone will be impaled!
out of all the places i've watched on Enes channel, this is the nicest by far...
Agreed. Too many T.V.s ( one behind the grand stairway has to go ) - move the dining room - get rid of the NFT art - not enough bathrooms first floor - lack of yard privacy from the entrance.. The house is way overqualified for that average lot & price point.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing this.
I was sooooo hoping he’d do this one after I saw it on Enes’ channel.
I actually like it's eclectic theme(at least most of it). for me it's biggest flaw is having only eight bedrooms(and in Enes video, they only show six of them so I donno if they're counting office and the small room for staff's break time as bedrooms or not). I believe a mansion with this asking price, needs to have at least ten real bedrooms because ulta rich might have 24hour staffs like butler, nanny and whatnot. if they also have a big family there's no way eight bedrooms will be near enough. if I was paying +100 mil price, I would have wanted a wing with a few rooms for maids and staff
The tree stump reminds me of my family home. When we were building it a tree was knocked down in a storm on our friends property and we took the dead tree and now it sort of cascades over our dining table.
Thanks Arvin! Your content is my absolute fav on RUclips. I watch every one asap. I like to longer version as well. One day I will look for a luxury manse to buy for my own and I will be full of educated knowledge of real estates. 😊
Thanks my man
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺 Arvin, I've learned so much from your vids & get all excited when l open up YT and one has hit. Stay classy Haddad family 😊
Ahh man I've been so waiting for this. First time I saw the house I said 'We need Arvin on this one ASAP' 😌👌🏾
I don't get the huge door to the tiny tea room, I expected something way more grand fitting that massive gate. You sit in that room to chill, looking at your motorcourt, why?
Do you really have to push the front door open with your bodyweight like Enes, why?
There is no storage room for coats etc. in the foyer, there's just that huge wall that takes forever to open so you can go inside the office? The office is great, but I get a bit of a cellar vibe due to the large picture window above. The office isn't seperate from the house, it's straight off the entry, what are you talking about? I don't know how soundproof that sliding door is (seems pretty thick), but as you said, staff will be coming and going, I suppose not all (most?) through the front door, but still, it's a bit of a flaw for me. There is a door behind the desk to the left, that's probably the bathroom.
The chairs at the dining table are weak, I will never understand people choosing short backrests. The big ass stone sink is weird, so you don't have a powder room (there has to been one, come on, show me - ok, I got the point in the video where they show it, subpar location), but you can wash your hands right next to the dining table, what the fuck? Can you take a whiz there as well while you're at it?
The screen behind the staircase is truely unnecessary, what's with the strange mirror placements around it, at first I thought it was a video artefat? I wonder if a gigantic mirror could've been sweet there. Also I hope noone ever stumbles and falls on those metal rods sticking out behind the staircase rallings.
How is this the best house in LA?
Outdoor dining only has those log pieces to sit on?
Hangar door... huh? Uhm, the rain chain/statue just funnels the water onto the patio, wat?
Family dining room is horrible. Looks like the staffs break room.
Chefs kitchen is insane, wow.
Arvin's talking about privacy and the way it's placed so that no one can look inside while showing multiple drone images covering every angle of the property 😅
I don't even watch that channel, I just wait for Arvin to drop
I love your passion for this home, it’s infectious!
I was thinking of watching this video on Enes's channel, but I like your criticism more,patiently waiting for the next episode,thank you Mr Arvin
I believe what Enes referred to as a Japanese tea room was designed to represent a Japanese Engawa traditional porch to speak with guests or conduct business outside of the house. It could also be designed to play a role as Genkan to the office. I can’t see how it would be a tea room.
Not sure if it was lost in translation, because English doesn't have an equivalent room, or the fact we associate offering guests tea in the same fashion the Engawa exists.
I so agree with Arvin. The art is to stop adding stuff when it's already enuff. Failing to do so is often driven by greed for the extravagant and lack of patience. They should all follow this quote from French writer and poet, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Airman's Odyssey: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Great review, with so many wonderful ideas. I wonder if the house behind will end up being so high that it can look into the roof area of this home.
Have you reviewed The One? I couldn't find it on your channel.
That property is a disappointment. We don't talk about it.
That desk looks like it came off the set of Star Trek.
- I didn't see a door for the office. Do you have to open the huge sliding wall every time you go into your office. If you want privacy do you have to close the wall as if you are in a crypt?
-I don't want a huge sink dividing the living room and dining room. Don't let that sink in.
-For 177M I don't want to see any cables hanging from wall frames. They can all be put behind the wall.
-I don't mind all of the extra TV screens or art face sculptures. If it gets to be too much you can just remove them.
Was waiting for this review! Clicked so fast
Arvin… I love that pool!! The colors of the tile and the hot tub on the center! The way to get into the pool is to sit on wall and just pivot yourself into the pool.
I remember there is a property close by that you also reviewed, called Casa Encantada. It’s still listed at 195 million and still hasn’t sold, but it has a much larger and better lot than this one. The two are literally a one-minute drive from each other.
Parts of this home are spot on, the materials and textures. Other areas just miss the mark, either too much going on or facility's missing like the TV on the stairs, the lack of bathroom in the office.
The office has a bathroom. He just failed to see it.
Just discovered your channel. Thanks for adding a little more fun to Enes videos!
Was waiting for the review on this one, great as always.
The family dining room feels like they just suddenly decided to use footage from a different house tour. I wouldn't believe in a million years that it's the same property as the office and the staircase lol
It should be in the staff dining room.
39:27 Perspective and water reflections may be the reason. With the raised pool, the angle at which people look at the water surface is flatter so it gives the impression of more distance snd a better chance of the trees reflecting on the pool.
That handrail that also serves as shelve on the otherhand is a massive hazard, since people can easily knock over the glasses and have them land on people downstairs. And glas with a 15ft drop on somebodys head doesn't end well.
The room with the NFTs at the "lobby" should be simply a water feauture creating shimmering light reflections, or a 2 story high art piece. Or maybe close that open floor entirely.
After watching a lot of your videos i'm getting better and better at spotting flaws in these properties. When i was watching enes' video I was thinking: What would Arvin say? and i'd say i have spotted many of the same flaws u did.
Arvin Haddad, when you don’t like an element on a property, could you tell us what you would have done instead to make it better
Thanks and good video!
He gives an option 90% of the time he criticizes! 😅
@@jfrunnerCanadaYes, like flipping the family bar/seating area with the dining room to make it more intimate. Like that idea 👍
Sure will do better
That’s called an induction table. Induction doesn’t heat the table directly; instead, it uses magnetic fields to generate heat within the metal of the pot. For cooking, you place a rubber pad (so you don't burn the marble table) on the designated induction spot and set the pot on top of it. The cooking areas are fixed, not automatic or movable. Also, this setup isn’t usually recommended for luxury kitchens because the thin marble layer above the induction area can interfere with the magnetic field, reducing the heating power and making it harder to cook food evenly.
IOW, it's a novelty for show that probably won't be used often--like the screens, blinds, and giant doors.
I agree on the bathroom needed in the office, also at least two outside by the pool, i would have a taller waterfall in the staicase instead of the t.v , charcoal grill inside? good luck!, wait to get to the garage which for me is extremely small for a property of this caliber, and not to mention the exhibition master bed, in view of everyone partying on the rooftop!
Really good point about moving the dining room to where that third seating area is.
46:36 honestly i forget to subscribe to a lot of channels, cause if i watch a bunch of your videos, then youtube just keeps on recommending them to me, and i keep on watching them 😂
❤ Love That you give praise as well and your Fair !!!
And not just negative like most people!!
That is an invisacook cooktop. It will not burn you or heat the countertop surface. It only heats the metal in the stainless steel cookware placed on it. (Can't heat glass, cast iron, copper aluminum or ceramic). Fine for show kitchen. I personally would like a burner with fire somewhere in my house.
Was waiting for this the whole week…
The number of points of failure of all those motorised gizmos and massive pivot doors!! After a couple of years I guarantee at any time there will be at least one thing out of action. Sure the assistant will organise the repairs, but it will be annoying and never-ending.
At ~ 43:30 I think it is Induction cooktop. You will need special cookware but nowadays it is common. Good think about it is it won`t burn (as body is not inductive? i guess is the world) and energy transfer is immediate like with gas cooktop. Downside I`ve already mentioned.
Exactly this. It's induction so needs ferrous metal cookware. The silicone mats are placed on the worktop to protect it from the heat of the pans. Enis is correct that the induction top will detect where the pan is.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING 😮 YES PLEASE ARVIN would Love to see the 2nd video of you critiquing the rest of this place 💕🇦🇺💕
Hey Arvin!
I see a big flaw and problem with the hangar door! I know by working with cranes and funfair rides.
Did Enez say: Hydraulic???
I played that part 3x and I think he did?!
The problem is the wear and tear of a Hydraulic line and it can also burst! You don't want Hydraulic oil on guests or your self and also not in your home!
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Even though I didn't feel like watching the other type of video you uploaded recently, just do it if you feel good. Someday, I might also feel like let's watch something other than a critique video then I could watch that type of videos.
I would love to see a video with Arvin viewing a house with Enes together, it would be so funny Enes saying wow look at this door, arvin No this is gonna need resetting a few times a year lol
Architects can be so insufferable. I like this one better than most. It's an amazing home. Love the sexy quiet nooks. I'm installing an Invisacook cooktop in an apartment right now. It's induction, so it doesn't heat up. If the installer does it properly, there there are inconspicuous marks etched into the stone to show where to place the silicone protective pad and the pan. It works great, like any induction cooktop. But overall, the house is overdesigned. The creepy faces, wall climbers, the gross rain chain, the excessive LED cove lighting, the lanterns capping the pillars, the raised pools that look like mall fountains, the vertical louvers, the outdoor theater.... all visual clutter. He had a good design, but then kept tinkering.
Huge fan bro.....much love from Cairo,Egypt
