One can tell how creative an architect is by his sense of style...and perhaps how he ties his shoelaces. A refreshing change from straight lines.
We thought so too, incredibly creative and clever
The interior design is absolutely atrocious , but the building is nothing less than breathtaking. Architecture's most gorgeous state.
All subjective. That’s why this medium is so great, everyone can share their opinion. Both are exceptional to est HQ. Stay tuned for more design… thank you, team est living
I have seen a video on this building before but I could watch another dozen; it is truly exceptional. The use of materials and the sculptural shaping of the spaces and light combine to make something quite wonderful. Architecture and design to be proud of.
Yes absolutely exceptional living and design by William Smart. You’re not alone here, we’ve listened to this feedback previously stay tuned… best, team est living

Magical
We think so too! William’s designs are magical. Enjoy, team estliving.com
This is the most stunning structure in terms of both interior design and architecture design. Would love to be able to go to Australia someday just to walk around in front of it.
You should! Reach out to team est if you do come to Australia.
What a nice project with minute details. Though regarding the daily house keeping, the end users must have gone through an intense mental training to keep things in the right place and tidy: somehow the story of the "Poor little rich man" by Adolf Loos popped up in my memory when I looked at this project. And certainly an interesting way to tie up the shoe laces (it was interesting that the camera focused for a couple of seconds on them).
est living , This made me laugh so hard, thanks for sharing!
Why?
@@davidcameron4517 how about 2:48 wtf was that?
can you please start including the name of the background music in the description ? 🙂
This is clearly a very expensive piece of architecture that would only be achievable for those with a substantial budget.
I feel that the curved form of the structure is a little to radical to be entirely functional. But then again, isn’t architecture mean to be art? It’s clearly obvious that William is meticulous in what he does and may just be a perfectionist.
An absolute talent, William Smart is exceptional on a global level. Years of planning informed the location, design and function.
THE ARCHITECTURE STIMULATES CREATIVITY-VERY COOL!!!!
Very cool. Thank you and stay tuned, team estliving.com
Очень удивляет такой интерьер! Очень красиво!
Always exceptional when William Smart is designing
What is the living room sofa design and living room table leather chairs?
Good question! The living room sofa is the Marenco by Arflex. Available through Space Furniture in Australia. Thank you, team estliving.com
This home was fetched on The Local Project, correct?
Quite possibly. William Smart’s home has been published by many. Enjoy ☺️
What suprises me is that no mention of the John Lautner Stevens house. Don't tell me that it was not an inspiration for the design, no you just came up with it and never saw anything like it before.😜
❤🐦
Thank you ♥️
So no doors on the bathroom? 🤷🏻♀️
You’re right, voids surround the bathroom space. However there are doors to the private bathroom spaces including the shower and the toilet spaces.
How does an architect afford this? 🤯
It truly is inspirational. Hard work, long term planning and a successful career.
Dien Bien Phu :)
Sterylization space,... sterylization life.
...nothing cheap about the materials; even the cork is not cheap.
bizarre, je ne sais pas quoi penser
So beautiful to visit in person! Stay tuned, team estliving.com
wtf was that shot at his aspergers way of tying the shoes?
We were fascinated by Williams creativity in the way he approached an everyday task. Very talented architect.
Did you say you want to adopt the ethos of cheap labour?
Where nothing is wasted, that is the ethos he is talking about. Where every thing is used intentionally. It’s far more sustainable than today’s model.
Architecture is fun!! ….. I came from a poor Blacktown family (2003) went to Western Sydney (studied bachelor of construction 2004) got my first job 2008 …. Made my first million developing Blacktown 4-plex (2012) retired 2020 (Covid) decided what will be a fun way to end my life (pilot) or (Architecture)?? Choose UTS … Architecture for fun 🤩… if a designer called Prada puts her heart ❤️ into a design spends 90 hours making a custom piece BUT no one buys it!! THEN fffk it!! she will wear it herself!! SAME IDEOLOGY!! If I spend 200 hours designing my own duplex then … spend 12 months building it USING MY OWN builders licence!! if NO ONE wants to buy it!! THEN fffk it!! I will rent it out for the next 5 years ….. Like the “House of Prada” I am going to turn my 2 & 5yr old children into great designers, hopefully 🙏 50yrs from now!! Nabila Design Studio will be a well known design house!! if not me … my children and my grandchildren will have amazing life experiences 💋
I wish i had a family like you that would push me to greater future.
Wish you well and your children.
