I wanted to take a moment to appreciate the cinematography. You guys have such a great way of showcasing houses and making it feel like a small documentary.
I wouldn’t say it “respects” nature…Actually quite the opposite. At 1:27 you can clearly see that they chopped down a lot of forestry to build the house. You don’t get a random perfectly cut square in the middle of a forest like that naturally…That was definitely man made.
I love the sculptured look of the house and learning how it was designed to accumulate water and provide views and shield the interior from high winds - this is what good architecture looks like! People say that interiors are too dark but I love how interior design brightened it up with those orange pops of furniture. It looks so cozy and inviting despite being dark and look at all the natural light from those huge windows that comes even when they sit in clouds... I don't think people living there would be craving more light
I feel as though I have been on a retreat just by watching the video; such a calm, thoughtful, unpretentious build that I imagine was extremely difficult (and expensive!) to achieve in its location. Just lovely. Thank you for talking us through the design.
Great design principles beyond aesthetics that are not the worn out wright-ian derivatives. The result is very synergistic and hyperlocal. One of my favorites in a while! This home feels like a whole.
Every aspect, from the materials used to the layout of the space, reflects a deep respect for the environment and a desire to create a harmonious retreat. Love it! 🌿🤍

How did we address bushfire risk? The roofing arrangement has ember catching issues. The proximity to trees is of course a major part of the positioning but the risk is high. Very high. Also It would have been an idea to include tree falling protection in a storm, ie. some kind of structural buffering.
Is this house located in the National Park of Springbrook? Why a house in the middle of the rainforrest? I am really wondering why human beings doing this .. one house ... oh this is so beautiful ... just let us biuild another house ... many houses and oh sorry ... many of them ...
Conceptually wonderful.. but after seeing the clearing shot, I question the ethics involved of destroying rainforest to build a house. We must be smarter in our design choices.
I would enjoy the lack of a view shared with the spiders snakes coming into my living space........that coupled with no-one else being near for obvious reasons, apart from that, the lack of water to fill my Smeg kettle should provide little problem when trying to battle the really strong winds and mould in and around the house and bleakly dark interior which should hide all the rain forest creatures around and about sharing your space.......how much do you want for this beauty?
It’s unfortunate that there are still no regulations for 'invisible-like' windows in natural settings. Birds must have a really hard time avoiding collisions.
Beautiful house, but a shame that they went about it in the way that they did. At 1:26 you can clearly see they cut down a lot of forestry to build the house. You don’t get a perfectly cut square randomly in the middle of a forest like that naturally. I prefer architects that find unique ways to blend into nature or build around nature…Not through it. If that’s the case, then build your precious house somewhere where you won’t have to interrupt nature in such a brutal and selfish way.
Dark and depressing yet oversaturated light, they really haven’t managed the light well. It looks harsh. I’d manage a couple of days at most then I’d need to leave

Agreed.
Outstanding decision for a dark exterior over a "harsh" white. This home respects its setting surrounded by nature.

Thanks,I didnt think of thst - just focused on the visual presentation "blending" in.

what an location !!
it's literally a peace of heaven !! so remote and calming...
Orange and Black. Love it!
finally! a no nonsense straight talking architect who simply explains his designs instead of vomiting out bullshit words
Nah mate it would've been more informative if he referred to "materiality" a dozen times in a 6 minute talk.
Talk about an amazing escape. You would feel transported in that space. Excellent.
Great design principles beyond aesthetics that are not the worn out wright-ian derivatives. The result is very synergistic and hyperlocal. One of my favorites in a while! This home feels like a whole.
I like the emphasis on robustness to the elements.
What an incredible retreat property, so beautifully executed.
Miiiiight be the best one yet
This is a place i would like to live and never leave.

Stunning cabin! Love it.
Would have liked to see more of the interior and courtyard spaces
Es una casa maravillosa ¡¡¡. Ambiente cinematográfico.
New favorite house
Uau, que casa linda, parabéns!!!
It must be great architecture without watching, but watching
It's beautiful
Wow.. beautiful
Nice! It reminds me of Daily City :) .
Amazing!
Breathtaking ❤
Beautiful work ❤
Nailed it Paul
Wondrous!!!
I'm in love.
Vertical timbers, is that an architects language for saying, tree trunks? Cracks me up!
I really like the functional aesthetic of the roof and U shape, wondering though if the dark interior and exterior would mean a hot house in summer?
Stunning inside & out. No nasty 90's blonde wood👍
Blonde wood is 90's?
@@RAREFORMDESIGNS yes and its horrible
@@RAREFORMDESIGNS Yes and early 2000's. Not a good look.
Очень уютный дом
I dont like how dark the inside is, but the location and views are beautiful.
I think that's why it's his house... His design, his choice.
@@nevil3076 Yes but posting it online opens it to criticism...

@@nevil3076 sorry, but thats dumb
@@einemaua to you maybe.
I'd be greatfull work with kind of architect and learn lots of things.
Like the interiors v much, but how on earth do you clean those windows?!!
0:22
Ah, yes. SMEG branded coffeemaker, toaster and kettle.
I’m curious about the louvered windows… do they close tightly enough to keep out wind/rain/bugs/humidity?
Yes we have the same and they seal extremely well.

If I had made this project, it would've been nearly impossible for me to part with it.
😍😍😍
Kind of dark , great location though

How was this land for sale?

Literally my very first thought.
Interesting point, what regulations could be implemented to achieve that safety for birds?
How does one even get such a plot like this to begin with? 😅
Moody
If i were to live there probably will be depressed, not enough sunlight, things will get moldy very fast.

I hope you wear a Daytona……
SILENT HILL
Those front glass will cause too many bird causalities at location like this.
My house kills about 2-3 birds a year.
Birds have to die so that trees can grow 😂😂
Even better then

No monkeys problem?
Dark and depressing yet oversaturated light, they really haven’t managed the light well. It looks harsh. I’d manage a couple of days at most then I’d need to leave
well a brown/dark brown could probably solve the problem
So dark probably owned by a mortician or funeral director
