WHAT DOES AN OBSESSIVE ARCHITECTS WORKSHOP LOOK LIKE?

- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2024
- Tour this hand crafted wood shop. The transparent shop is small so I had to design everything. As an architect I love beautiful spaces. This is my Zen retreat. This video includes lots of hacks for woodworking storage. A place for everything and everything in its place.
You most definitely should make another video focused on the architectural design of the shop, and get as detailed as your heart desires. Fascinating space.
Thanks!
2nd that!
3rd that!
4rd that.
@@normaguerra6158 I thought the stool video would be quick and easy so I started with that... Working on the wood shop design video now and hope to have it out in a few weeks.
This is what youtube was meant for! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
As a former interior architect, I would love to hear more about the design of the workshop! I would also enjoy seeing a video on the stool design. Great video!
Thanks!
I second both of those things! (Except I'm not an architect...or a former one for that matter!) 😁
Fitting that you mention negative space in architecture in relation to storage, because the same is true of the importance of negative space in editing. I appreciate the floor plan with camera angles shown, because it can become a little confusing to get a gist of exactly where things are in a workshop. Those indicators and the pause in voice over when showing a tool are important bits of negative space in the video for understanding and processing. It's very well considered.
I agree, As you have probably realized videography is fairly new to me. Learning how to use these tools to tell an interesting story is my new adventure. thanks!
I would love to see a video on the stool design.
Me too!
That’s a cool stool! Yes! A video, please.
Freaking dust collector died and is slowing progress on the video.
This is, by far, my favorite shop tour that I have ever seen. Putting aside your many unique storage and organization ideas, it is breathtaking how you created such a peaceful place with a natural theme infused into every square foot. I could go on, but I’ll just say this is highly inspiring. You clearly have a gift
Thanks for the very kind words! My obsessiveness can be a course as well...
Such a unique shop design! So very different from all the shop tours in RUclips. I like the dimensions (12 x 24), the natural lighting and the unique storage solutions - perfect for a backyard shop. Would appreciate a detail design video - materials used and so on. How about insulation?
I will do a design video after the stool video. I am learning to make better videos to is takes a while, thanks!
Beautiful shop. As an architect, I appreciate the sophisticated, elemental design. Please share more videos on the design and construction. I’d also love to see construction details of the stool!
Sometimes being an architect is an illness...
You've had to make a million decisions to get to this point in time, and I think you've made all the right ones. Even the video editing and delivery was spot on. I can't wait to see where your journey takes me!
You are correct it is a journey, but I'm having fun!
Oh, man. Man, oh, man. I want to see all of that house and yard. I want to see more of what you do--so beautiful, in every way! Keep 'em coming. Frank Howarth, look out!
I LOVE what you're doing there.
Frank is one of my heroes!
Beautiful place. Really really like the cuts to the map showing us location. Fantastic! Thank you.
Thanks!
I love your style. This deserves a lot more views! Count me in on your design process video.
Thanks!
I was expecting pretension, and I found a wealth of elegant, yet pragmatic ideas. Very well done! I would love to see a video on the stool; it is an eye catching design and the stickability adds a element of practicality. Thank you for sharing.
I can only imagine the amount of work it takes to make design like that look and feel so effortless. Just an incredible space, and for most people watching in the UK the thought of a 12 x 24 shop being small is hilarious 😂. 10/10 sir
I think Americans often make things bigger than necessary...like our butts/bums. However for the 8 foot long lumber I use my shop is right sized in my opinion. thanks!
Rick, I have been an architect here in Mississippi since 1985. Your shop design and tour is one of the more elegant and resolved solutions I’ve seen in a long while. The detailing and shop furniture is well thought out and beautiful. If I’m not mistaken it appears the wall cladding you are using is polycarbonate sheet; just curious about how this space is heated and cooled. My shop is in my 3rd car garage. It’s 18x24, but it’s so packed with tools and machines, it lacks any thread of organization as your shop offers.😂 thanks for sharing, it’s a very inspiring design.
Eric, thanks for the comment! I am getting into the design but in general the shop is intended to be an outside space. The weather is reasonable most of the time in Charlotte so it has no cooling. However I did install a good heater a few years ago. The heater will bring the shop from 30 to 50 deg in a couple hours. I heat the space only when I am in it. Maybe 15 cold winer days a year.
@@kazebeedesign Your canopy coverage & cross-ventilation are key elements to comfort. I'm also in Charlotte, but my shop has full-sun exposure above and on South & West sides with paving on the West side and no windows. It's VERY hot during the summer (reached 88F inside temp last month with AC off). I need heat end of November through February to keep glue from chalking.
@@branchandfoundry560 Thanks for the clarification. It is fairly well shaded.
Your building is AMAZING!
I've watched tons of shop tour videos and yours is far and away my favorite. The architecture and resulting view into and out of your space is just inspirational. Bravo.
Thanks!
Wonderful! I'm about to break ground on building my own 12 x 20 woodshop with a 10 x 12 loft for storage. But setting up my workspace when it's done is a complete blur right now. This is awesome. I'll definitely be back in Sketchup redesigning my interior.
Processing a 4x8 sheet of plywood was my largest issue. I drew the plywood and moved It through the shop in CAD. You can do the same in sketch up with whatever materials you use. Best of luck!
I'm living in the middle of an eighties residential area, with a slightly larger shop, but surrounded by brick and concrete. (Netherlands) Your shop makes me happy, the peaceful design and wooded area seems like a incredibly inspiring and calming place to be! Thx for sharing! I had to share it on our local woodworking forum
What an awesome shop. Your creativity and design are very unique. I love the old block planes. I could see spending hours in there.
Thanks!
So intuitive and systematic. Just step to your station and get to it..nice work
That is what I think design should be. Thanks!
You have a lovely shop. If it only had more lumber storage-perhaps in an outbuilding, rather than the shop’s attic. I’m also intrigued by your stool design.
Such a great space! Good to see a practical architect who makes as well as designs. I've been a architectural draftsman and builder over the last 30 odd years and hate to be just stuck behind a desk all day! The only way to understand I think is by physically doing or making. Cheers
Yes the woodshop is part of my ongoing architectural education.
Ok, your workshop is just stunning. I shared this video with my wife, and we both agreed, we need to see something similar about your home! Those enormous, soaring open spaces and we only got a hint of them! To be honest, we want to see the entire grounds. That courtyard between your home and workshop is intriguing, the whole thing! Are we going to get more of that? Thanks, and awesome stuff! I especially enjoyed the red arrows that kept us oriented inside the shop as well, and the red rope as a harbinger of things to come!
Thanks! I have lots of ideas for videos including the house but want to improve the quality so I will post as fast as I can.
@@kazebeedesign Got me. I subscribed. :)
Loved this, particularly the lantern feel as viewed from afar.
Very few workshops look attractive from outside.
Gave me traditional Japanese vibes.
Japanese is high praise, thanks!
@kazebeedesign
Visited Japan last year and was fascinated by the architecture, traditional and contemporary.
A highlight was displays, and models, of the traditional carpentry and building techniques employed in the reconstruction of a castle of the Edo Period.
Seeing the "bones" of your build resonated with me.
I also would be interested in a video on the stool. Thanks for sharing your shop.
Working on that video now it is two or three weeks out due to day job.
Will do, thanks!
I'd love to hear more about the design! It's beautiful, and I'd like to see how to adapt it to Santa Fe style (so it suits my own corner of the world). Also, hearing people go down their rabbit holes is the greatest joy. Loved the tour, greatly appreciate it!
thanks!
I love the natural light and lantern idea
thanks!
Okay, i really appreciated the plan drawing and the arrows for the camera position.
Thanks!
Fantastic shop and an equally fantastic walkthrough! I like how you showed the view direction. I think I’ll do the same when I do a walkaround in my motorbike shed. Brilliant.
Thanks!
truly incredible
Thanks!
OK, first of all, Love your shop!It's not some dingy ,poorly lit basement .Or some freezing, summer baking garage.What a gem!
Thanks!
Stunning and functional. You sir are at the pinnacle of design genius.
I make a lot of ugly crap as well...
Love the design of the building and negative spaces. Great workshop.
I live in the UK - winter temperature can be an issue (less so with global warming) - had not considered a workshop with glasss walls . . .
My workshop has not been built yet -- obviously where its possible to add some joy through the design then go for it. Thank you.
Your workshop is like an elegant skeleton clock - simplisticly, two parts - a glass rectangular block and an internal wooden frame - but merged.
Thanks! Your shop can have more solid walls with insulation and insulated glass in doors and windows. Best of luck!
Sort of an Enzo Mari vibe to the upper shelving above the miter saw station - really beautifully done!
Holy crap that guy has been copying me before I did it myself. Seriously he has beautiful stuff thanks for the reference!
Beautiful and well designed space. Would love to hear more from you!
Thanks!
Your video is a wealth of great concepts in practice. I learned about negative space years ago designing a server room which is always too small. I then turned it into solving tought experiments where I solve the opposite when I am stuck. My experience with architects and interior designers makes me wonder why they don't get into sound and smells which came to mind when I first saw the image of your shop. However, you clearly nailed it. I bet your space is quieter than many shops while running power tools with the doors and windows open with fresh air clearing it out. Then your mapping of hotspots. You would be fun to work with. Thank you for sharing!
thanks!
Reminds me of Robin Boyd's home, Walsh Street. Love it.
thanks!
What an inspiring space. I will certainly stay tuned for a video about the shop design and any other video you happen to put out. .
Thanks! Shop design video is next on my list will upload in a few weeks.
Absolutely beautiful. I wish I was as organized. My friend tell me my shop is very organized, but it’s not at the level I would like.
it takes time
Rick, I came across your video by chance. It is great to see you doing so well! The shop is amazing!
Thanks Phil, hope you are well!
That is an incredible and stunning design, with no criticism intended whatsoever, I would move my dust collector outside, and get a low DB air compressor. Thank you so much for sharing, I look forward to seeing additional videos. Your design ethic is outstanding.
Good suggestions. I upgraded to the dewalt compressor because it was supposed to be quieter but I don't think there is much difference. Defiantly have over ear hearing protection when either of them are on. But every time my wife comes into the shop it scares the crap out of me.
@@kazebeedesign I have a
kobalt dual cylinder, and then a California air, and that one is the one in my shop the other one I take on jobs. I also moved my dust collection to another part of my shop which made a huge difference. If I was to rebuild my shop I would mimic a whole lot of design choices that you made. I did use lots and lots of glass, I had to use as much donated or found materials as possible. I find that when I have time I have no money and when I have money I have no time.
Absolutely the most beautiful shop I've seen. I can only imagine what it's like to spend a day making in this environment. Very well done. I hope you'll be doing a tour of the courtyard and other parts of the property. Will be looking for more of your videos.
Thanks! I have lots of ideas for videos including the house but want to improve the quality so I will post as fast as I can.
I had a friend who was also an architect and your shop and his design ideas are very similar. You must have read the same books. Nice job!
They make you read in architecture school...
Love this shop! I'm going to use this for inspiration for my own.
Enjoy!
Love the Stoll
I have not looked for a video yet. But hope you have one.
Absolutely stunning design! I love the elegant minimalism in exposing the mechanical, structural elements, and materials to become a cohesive and beautiful aesthetic.
Thanks!
I have been admiring your shop since I first stumbled upon pictures of it on the internet perhaps 6 months ago. I am preparing to design a shop for myself soon and would love to hear more about your design decisions for your space.
Will share after stool video.
such a beautiful space. and so well thought out.
Thanks!
love the design- it really inspires me to think about building something similar!
Go for it!
So humble. Architects...
Love it. Please share more about your house and yard.
okay
Beautiful shop!!! Now I need to see a tour of the entire house, the entire property looks amazing
That could be in the future, thanks!
Wow, stunning space.
Thanks!
Would love a deep dive. Very cool shop and video
You have a wonderful shop! I'd love to hear you talk about design some more, and if possible also get a tour of the house. It looked like the house is also a piece of art! ❤
Thanks, I will.
Thanks!
Very nice shop Thanks for sharing it
thanks!
Thanks for sharing. Looks like a wonderful workshop and pretty unique with all the windows/transparent walls.
thanks!
Beautiful space...conducive to creativity. I would be interested in a separate video on the shop stool you featured here!
Will do, thanks!
That was amazing, thank you for sharing!
Thanks!
I feel inspired, thank for sharing
Thanks!
Incredible!!! What a dream!
Thanks!
0:20 "It's not very big" That workshop is huge and beautiful, the space perception of some people is hilarious xD
Gorgeous shop with a great feel. Love the organization.
Thanks!
I so understand this. I think we would be good friends. Great video.
likely, thanks!
Brilliant workshop, very functional and beautiful to look at. Thanks for sharing!
thanks!
Such a beautiful, functional, and elegant space. Inclusive simplicity at its finest.
Thanks!
Appreciate your layout, thought process in the shop structure design, the flow of your shop in machine, storage placement. Living in 7500 degree elevation in Colorado, can only dream of having a glass structure workshop. Your natural lighting, reminds me of classical master painting of centuries long past.
By chance, are you going to make available pdf plans of workshop structural design, cut lists, etc?either early morning or late afternoon
When working with New Belgium I spent time in Fort Collins. Lowlanders like me need to watch alcohol at elevation. Not that I would know.
So…..blueprints pdf available?
Vide of build of workshop?
Awesome video! I'd love an explanation video about the design of that building and/or your home.
uploading soon, technical problems...
Please make a video on the details of your shop, it’s a beautiful design. ❤
Uploading soon, technical problems...
Really nice shop. I have a question about your miter saw. Have you had any alignment issues with it. I've wanted that saw since they came out, and i had been concerned about the reviews identifying problems with skiding cuts and the alignment of the sliders. I'm sure im obsessing over a tiny issues given the numbers of these that have likely been sold over the years. It was a bit surprising considering the reputation of makita and the cost of these saws. Also, fid you upgrade to the stainless detent plate that available from Stene WW? I feel like anyone with a shop like yours wouldn't suffer a substandard tool. So I'm interested in your experience. Thx.
I have nothing bad to say about the saw. Hope you enjoy yours!
Love the clear walls and window openings, they complement the "minimalist functional wood-shop" approach. Nice touch with the air cleaning and dust collection. You must have a brush attachment for vacuuming surfaces and corners?
yes Rockler knows me well.
Love the space!
thanks!
Music........
Funny, I removed the radio from my life about five or six years ago. Too much static. Even the workshops are all quiet now.
Your speaker mount with the ability to play outside is fantastic! ( RUclips videos for music )
thanks!
Wow! You pack so much into that "small" shop, yet it feels incredibly spacious. It must be pretty mild where you are. It would be too cold in winter where I live.
Sometimes a little cold and sometimes a little hot, so it goes.
@@kazebeedesign Honestly, growing up in Michigan I have found that the extremes of temperature over the seasons actually has the effect of helping develop physical resiliency and health. If there's anything that can help one deal with cold and heat, it's being completely absorbed in a wood working project! Beautiful shop...I'm jelly!
This is a wonderful design. I will appreciate it if you do a video about the design. Thank you for sharing this.
Will do after the stool video, thanks!
Interesting to see! All the windows are great of course, but, you give up wall space. The solution with adding 'open' racks on front works, however.
I am redesigning my shop at the moment, also a small space - and I recognize the need for smart solutions, and using every bit of space for storage. However, my shop feels 'full and crowded', not airy ... Because I have no concern at all too the design, only on functionality and practicality.
One concern i would have with this shop would be dust. All the open shelving look like great places for dust to accumulate, and who likes cleaning...
I like cleaning. Sometimes I do it just to clear my head from the dramas of architectural practice. I open all the windows and doors and blow dust with the air compressor, the wind does the rest. Thanks for the comment.
What a beautiful space to work in.
Thanks!
Beautiful shop!!
thanks!
Brilliant!! Just brilliant! Please do more videos on things in your shop. That stool. Your overhead storage solutions. Jealousy has set in!
I will, thanks!
Such a beautiful shop man, absolutely my style and aestethic. Had to subscribe immediately. When I fell in love in love with woodworking I didn't have access to any indoor space whatsoever so I started building everything outdoors and just tarping everything every night. Finally built me a 8x10 lean to shop with two open ends so the sunshine and hummingbirds could always say hi. Two months after I finished building my shop we lost the house and had to move into a rental. So it was back to tarps for me. We went through one of the worst storm seasons this last year for our area here in Southern California and I escaped with almost zero water damage, I'll chalk that up to a success. Ill always set myself up to work in an open airy space like this in some tandem with the elements. Great stuff man, I feel like anybody that is relegated to a very small shop learns to use every single inch to its utmost potential , just as you said. Multiple uses for everything, folding workspaces on hinges, etc. Best wishes from Cali bro!
Best wishes from NC!
What a beautiful shop. I love it!
thanks!
@@kazebeedesignyou're welcome! As others have said, I'd love to see a separate video on your design process for the shop itself.
Thank you for the tour. The openness is amazing and I’d love to work in a shop like it. I’d be scared of my fancier hand tools and likely to build a serious case for them to lock. I have a few military-looking toolboxes with the double lined metal sheets and an articulating latch similar to windows that spans out to locate pins outward. Bolt a few of those to floor. Just for the special, irreplaceable items. The space under he drill press is the only spot and I personally love the Woodsmith drill press cabinet. Seeing how open you made everything is the opposite of cabinets. Whitespace is a big deal to me too but mostly from print and I think of enclosed boxes when woodworking. Nice to see the antonym of closed.
It is a fun place to work, Thanks!
Thanks!
Where do you live that you can have that much glass and plexi on a building?
It looks fantastic!
I'd love to see more about the shop, house, and the stool.
Thanks for showing us!
Charlotte NC. It is an outside space so today it will be 92 degrees. But it is good for me because the rest of my life is am in front of a computer in the air conditioning.
The space has so much light and lightness! For the design considerations, I guess weather must be mild there? That stool would fit so well in my home, please do a video!
Charlotte NC is mild but getting hotter...
Please do a home tour! Looks amazing
Thanks, I will eventually life is complicated...
Awesome!! Love your shop. Would love to see a video about your shop design and build. Thank you
Thanks! I guess that means I need to figure out how to record better voice overs...
Just watched the shop video and immediately subscribed - I haven’t been this excited about a design for my own (eventual) shop in a very long time. For lack of a better term, let’s say your design esthetic really appeals to me. I look forward to your future releases and thank you for sharing your work and your vision. 👍🏼
Just start building!
Inspiring. Would love to see your house too!
future video
Lovely space.
Thanks!
Fantastic space! With so much glazing do you find the shop uncomfortable warm in the summer?
it is 84 today. its hot but I find it healthy to acclimate. Thanks!
Welp, I found a new inspiration and obsession. I am in love with your design aesthetic and commitment to craft. I was looking at your website, specifically your home, and noticed some long round dowels in the upper area of you living room supported by large gussets on the walls. Are these some sort of lighting element or what are they? I’m located in Michigan and if I could find some land to buy, I would love if you designed my home. I love seeing simple yet beautiful materials allowed to exist instead of our strange obsession with hiding everything possible these days. Very inspiring!
Thanks, in fact one hope in sharing my work is to find more inspiring architecture projects.
Love this woodshop so much! This is exactly what I dream of having! A lovely relaxing and quiet wood shop surrounded by nature where I can get away from humans. Wouldnt it be nice to be your son? 😂😂 Thank you for the great tour man
Thanks...Son
I love that you have Stanley's tools instead of Stanley tools. I'm curious how you got good shear strength in you walls with no sheathing... suspecting the sloped brackets in the corners have a bit to do with it? Also...what sort of foundation? Lovely space, that's some dreamy organization. Thanks for sharing...and I won't call you obsessive till you add and apostrophe to "Architect's."
Yes, obsessiveness is a sickness more than one architect enjoys!
Beautiful space to work and enjoy life. Do you have planner / thicknessor somewhere? If not, what do you have as alternative?
Yes I have a bench top Grizzly planer stored under the bench, surprisingly enough.
Très bel atelier, bravo!!! :)
Thanks!
Stunning. Thank you.
Thanks!
Beautiful space, and I love the old tools. That hammer should be named Mjolnir :D
It is one of my favorite tools. Thanks!
Geez this is beautiful.
This space breathes... but it does even more. It calms. It invites. It celebrates. It creates life. It's a space that creates space.
Thanks!
