We hope you enjoyed the insightful tour of Fitzroy Laneway House, a true testament to the artistry and foresight of architect Andrew Child! Andrew’s vision for an architect’s own tiny house that embraces both the present and the future shines through in every corner of this unique dwelling.

Love it! Love it! A real family home, designed around the family and the changing needs. With more than a nod to the tradition and indeed the Fitzroy vibe, the use of materials in an honest and direct way shines through. It is one of those places that even as a visitor you would fell instantly at' home' ,The courtyard is literally an oasis of calm and connection. Yep, love this one. Thank you to Andrew for sharing. Appreciated.
A home with a primary bedroom floor with en-suite, separate studio apartment and music studio is not a tiny house by any definition, but it’s extremely well done and with particular care and thought to its surroundings.
This beautiful, intimate, even cozy house is what great architecture is about. Namely creating space in harmony with how it is lived in and where it is settled. Everything is connected at an emotionally granular level. Beautifully done.
Agree … need to see a floor plan. The arty cinematography is great but leaves you with no idea of how you really use the space, it’s stunning in the detail, but it doesn’t really fully show the space and how each room flows into the next…but hands down stunning.
It's a small house, with low ceilings but the renovations and addition somehow made it open and sleek. There are many materials used - red brick, white brick, stone floors, timber on walls, tiles, etc - but somehow it all works together. And even a bit of nature is incorporated into the house with well placed windows. A superb execution!
Beautiful. Who'd have known that crazy paving could look so right and complement a modern building? Getting rusticity spot on in a modern space. Well done
Aussies have such beautiful, substantial, and well-designed homes! Love how LP profiles all hail the indigenous peoples and lands on which the home is built upon and how it adds to the spirituality of the home.
It's a thoughtful design, well-executed, and deserves publication for itself, but not as a tiny house. It would surprise me if the architect and designers had anything to do with the use of the word 'tiny' in the title of this post. I think the word tiny was clickbait for people like me who wouldn't have looked at the video or article otherwise. For those who want a clearer picture, the video and article about the house on the Institute of Australian Architects website give a much better understanding of the house and its use than The Local Project post does.
I have been watching ur channel for long, Every house u show is unique and i learned a lot even though I am not a student of Interior design or Architect. Please can u give a tour of snow/winter home from a cold place.
The shots highlight individual features but very hard to understand the layout, orientation, or size of the house. I’d love to see how the rooms connect; too many closeups of textured surfaces and…foliage??
You could put 'tiny' in quotes.... to indicate that the meaning of the word or phrase they surround should be taken to be different from (or, at least, a modification of) that typically associated with it.
An architect designs his own home and yet because this is the internet, people feel compelled to criticize. I'm sure his family is quite comfortable and happy with the results. That's what matters in the end
I appreciate the artistic close up zoom shots but there's far too many, very distracting and annoying. Please show braoder shots that last more than 2 seconds so we can actually appreciate the layout and decor of the house. 🍻
Thank you for your land acknowledgement. My condolences to the wurundjeri tribe who were viciously robbed of their ancestral homeland to make way for this colonizers bungalow.
A beautiful home but the acknowledgement of the Wurundjeri people here rings very hollow. The median price of a 3 bedroom home in Fitzroy is 1.66 million dollars. Indigenous Australians have lived in the area continuously but recent rapid gentrification has seen them displaced to other areas where housing is cheaper.
Probably a nice house, but not sure, I still have no idea what it looks like. The video is a head-spinning kaleidoscope of random house parts without any discernable connection to each other.
It is on the dark side for me, there is not enough sunlight throughout the property compared to a detached/free-standing home in the area. Good effort but not for everyone.
This is 2 million house I guess. If I had this money. I'd prefer live in ordinary terrace around. Feels much warmer and normal. This house are over designed packed with strange ideas
"We're in Fitzroy", where only incredibly privileged wealthy people get to own their own homes, enjoy the scenery and shops, and live privileged lives. Those of us who were renting there 40 years ago look on in disbelief. The "Provincial" hotel is now a fancy wine bar. It is perverse. Many artists have to live in the outer suburbs, or on the streets. The homeowners live with the homeless nearby. Australia is no longer the land of the lucky and the fair go. When architects start talking about their "brass tap ware" in Fitzroy, ya know things are bad. Perverse wealth inequality.
@jacquelinewilson2279 (10mo later) Appreciated your reflection. My sister lived in a share flat above The Provincial for a short time in the mid-eighties. It's a suburb I mainly would enter or traverse for work. And since covid - never. I'm glad you had those years when Fitzroy had a more egalitarian and creative culture. There will still be a few homes that aren't owned by the extra-wealthy. I guess it's been a decades long pattern of owners cashing out 🙂
Is it just me or are majority of the creators they profile white? I feel like there’s barely any BIPOC creators showcased - not in touch with what’s going on in the world at all. Beautiful projects though
@zd4vis (10mo later) You probably saw that this channel is called The Local Project. Featuring design stories from Australia. As these are 💯 Architectural Projects you probably need to consider the features of the Architecture Profession here. Last century it would have been nearly all comprised of 'White Men' - albeit of varying ethnic heritages. Including Dutch, French, German, Italian, Greek, Maltese and the former Yugoslavia. Women muscled their way into the profession in numbers from around the 1990s. And many have established successful practices, partnerships and become directors and lead designers. As the faces of Immigration to Australia have shifted from the patterns of last century, so will the makeup of the professions. Already Australian based designers and architects with Asian and Pacific heritage are making their presence and design styles known. It's perhaps easy to form snap judgements externally.
@ I said what I said. There’s not enough diversity on the channel and it verges on boring, while you’re right I haven’t considered the features of the architecture profession here it might be worth while trying to diversify the practitioners they showcase. I can’t imagine that would mean much to their target audience but it is a bit repetitive after a while…
@zd4vis So, it's mostly about your easily bored eyes then. Despite the wide range of ethnic origins featured, you are still seeking 'Visible Diversity for the sake of Diversity Only'. Which brings what value exactly? Not withstanding that this has long been an attractive profession for openly gay and queer architects. Not always a 'Visible Diversity'. → These guys aren't miners. Their profession has traditionally been liberal left in education and values. Do you not think they are driving for representative change from within ?? (See the 'Growth in Women Architects' point from earlier.)

Hi from a neighbour down the Gertrude end of the same street - always wondered what was behind the entrance when walking my dog! Super cool to see.
Love it! Love it! A real family home, designed around the family and the changing needs.

That courtyard 💚💚💚 You could sit there and it could be anywhere - Florence, Monmartre, St Germain, Fitzroy! Stunning!

Well said!
So beautiful! I like how the interiors capture so much of the external urban vibe and yet feel private, cozy, and lush.

Lovely, beautiful… also appreciate the foresight of future tenants and privacy
Watched this twice back to back. Lovely considered build, including interior design and decoration.
Very cool! There is the feeling of being cocooned in warmth. Love houses like this. Beautiful job.
It really is!
A beautiful house full of light and shadows.
Absolutely love this house! I agree that although it's in a urban area, it feels like a sanctuary.
Beautiful. Who'd have known that crazy paving could look so right and complement a modern building? Getting rusticity spot on in a modern space. Well done
Certainly the biggest "tiny" house I've ever seen 🤪🤣🤣!
Whatever, it's really great 😉💯!
That editing as the background music leads into the live guitar, so good.
Guys, your concept of "tiny" is drastically out of touch. Beautiful project though.
😂 right
Same thoughts!!
Way way way out of touch😢
“Drastically” is the right term lol
I mean even the entry room is bigger than some Fitzroy bedrooms!
Aussies have such beautiful, substantial, and well-designed homes! Love how LP profiles all hail the indigenous peoples and lands on which the home is built upon and how it adds to the spirituality of the home.
Yeah this is not a normal Aussie home. If this sold tomorrow it would be sold somewhere between 3 to 5 million dollars.
Sorry to say, but the majority of "Aussie" houses are poorly designed, wasteful use of space, obsessed with status
Love the Fitzroy halfway house
Beautifully considered home. Lovely and inviting whilst showcasing wonderful design.
Love it, that is my dream style. Thanks 👍
Glad you like it!
What an amazing sanctuary you’ve created. Well captured by TLP.
Almost a Kyoto Machiya. I love it.
This is definitely a well thought-through home and should last a lifetime. Well done.
Stunning! Congratulations ❤
Beautiful design and material choices. 🏆
Beautiful!
Wow the house is so beautiful!
It really is!
very artistic, beautifully done small foot print house
Beautiful & honest design
Amazing use of space
House is great, videography impeccable :-)
This TINY is so COZY 😍😍😍
absolutely sick vibe, cool dad and fam
lovely

Yes, we will very soon 🙂
@@TheLocalProject Thanks a lot
My favourite room is the green bathroom ❤
You did a good job its definitely a lane way house 🏠 👏
Absolutely gorgeous.
Love love love this
Thoughtful design
The shots highlight individual features but very hard to understand the layout, orientation, or size of the house. I’d love to see how the rooms connect; too many closeups of textured surfaces and…foliage??
You could put 'tiny' in quotes....
to indicate that the meaning of the word or phrase they surround should be taken to be different from (or, at least, a modification of) that typically associated with it.
LOVE IT
LOVE to hear the land acknowledgement before a home tour.
love it!

Very nicely done. Still small footprint so I say tiny fits...
"It's a beautiful thing, how much money, and style, we do have. "
Would love to see a blueprint of the actual house. Gives a bit more context of the layout
Is the home an extension of the Terrace house? or sit beside it?
TINY
I'm not feeling the glossy black treatment of the spiral staircase. Everything else is pretty decent though.
Absolutely stunning. (Also absolutely not a tiny house.)
Loveeee it! (But it's not tiny😂)
I appreciate the artistic close up zoom shots but there's far too many, very distracting and annoying. Please show braoder shots that last more than 2 seconds so we can actually appreciate the layout and decor of the house. 🍻
Beautiful house. But it’s about 10 times bigger than a tiny house.
not a tiny house at all but very beautiful
I'm so confused. I need to see the floorplan.🤔
🥰
Thank you for your land acknowledgement. My condolences to the wurundjeri tribe who were viciously robbed of their ancestral homeland to make way for this colonizers bungalow.
Watched the whole video twice and still have no idea what this house looks like.
Why is your house on the land of the Wurundreri People?
A beautiful home but the acknowledgement of the Wurundjeri people here rings very hollow. The median price of a 3 bedroom home in Fitzroy is 1.66 million dollars. Indigenous Australians have lived in the area continuously but recent rapid gentrification has seen them displaced to other areas where housing is cheaper.

Tiny......🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
It is on the dark side for me, there is not enough sunlight throughout the property compared to a detached/free-standing home in the area. Good effort but not for everyone.

A beautiful home but hardly a tiny home. In comparison to a mansion maybe.
so badly shot, no idea of the plan. Just zero quality for perspective.
forty winks
TINY???
Cos of living crisis
There is nothing "tiny" about this property. Why use the term? Do you think it will get you extra views???
Yes, folk will look at the LP work, so does it really matter. Just enjoy it for the great craft/ Architecture that is done

That’s NOT a tiny house
Camera work is appalling
Stay off the crack man......
Why do Australians ask a question when they make a statement? It can be quite tiring constantly searching for answers to statements.
It can be quite tiring answering other peoples questions.
I don't think we do that??? You should spend your spare time doing other things......
