This is how I talk to every building inspector for permit approval.
Hahahhahs lol “ Sir without the certificate of occupancy Odin would have to Airbnb “
🤣🤣🤣 love it !!!
😂😂
Imagine finally moving in and secretly trying to install a mirror in the bathroom and you see him sitting on that chair in the darkness 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
" Odin says no Mirror" lol
This is so fun and informative . I couldn’t wait to share it with the amazing architect who designed our perfect home………only 3100sq. Ft so it’s a Munchkin and not an Odin.
😂😂😂
He couldn't stop chuckling watching you try to find a power outlet for lighting this forbidden mirror 😂
@@MrMESSI That is exactly what I was picturing too. 😆. As soon as you hang it you hear this “ oh no you don’t!!”! from the freak wearing the Viking helmet lurking in the corner.
We all had the same internal pause when the word "homosapien" was spoken and Arvin paused the video...priceless
He already failed by falling for the sapien meme.
Had that same reaction at “homo sapiens”. This guy is something else.
I immediately skipped ahead.
It reminds me when we were checking out some pretentious company that does 3D building models (not even proper BIM models) we will be working with. They shamed us for not using Macbooks on our first meeting for example. We opened up their website and video automatically started playing. First words were: 'It's been more than a hundred years since our country entered the era of democracy'. Everyone did a double take. These types of people are everywhere.
He’s killing me. Daddy always says, 'An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure. '
TOTALLY
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Good grief he loves himself a lot more than normal.
I`ve been an architect for about 15 years now. Running into your videos has been a pleasure, Arvin. my two cents:
- we aren`t really tormented by the fact that we have to deal with clients. We like to say we are, to toot our own horn afterwards and to brag, basically. I wouldn`t call architecture art per say, it`s got some art aspects. Half the pleasure, for me at least, is having to incorporate the clients needs and wants while still making cohesive architecture. I found out over the years, that while not many can make cohesive architecture(not even all architects, some, if not most, just copy the aesthetic from other projects that they saw/like) a vast majority of normal people can know it when they see it, but can`t explain why it`s good architecture. From light, to proportions, to spaces, to materials, etc. Something about that entire space or object "feels" right to them.
- I can, without a doubt, tell you that the majority of what he said in the video is not only stuff he came up with after he designed and established most of the key elements, so it`s more of the like "im going to make something cool, then imagine some bs around it"; Architects know when other architects are bs-ing. To arrive to a design from an Odin idea is almost childish. Stuff like this we make up, after the fact, to give it a story.
Cheers!
Edit: after i heard him say he started his journey from Odin, i rolled my eyes; im sure all other architects did. That`s not what he did, for one.. and two.. that would be a very naive way of doing architecture. we start our "journey" with a project by observing the site, let it talk to us. Even if we turn our back to the environment we find there, as an example, by doing what FLW did at the Johnson Wax HQs, turning inwards... thats still a dialogue.. The video where you critiqued the Drumelia in Villa Vela is a good example of reading the terrain and starting from there. All other aspects were derived from that decision he made to go about with that driveway.. and that`s one way to go about it; there are other ones. But thinking about Odin is not one of them
well said alex ...thanks for sharing
He definitely likes the sound of his own voice, that's for sure. Sadly, this stuff works on a certain type of clientele - same in the art world and in wine. Some people try to spin up a huge story that detracts from the thing you're actually considering spending a lot of money on. One big game.
@@fkcoolers2669 I’ve learned that the main objective when talking the way he did, is for people not in the business, to outsiders. Or when architecture teachers talk down to their students. When architects do it with people outside of the profession, it’s mostly a sales pitch, rather than(but it could be that as well) liking the sound of your own voice. For him, that whole video was a sales pitch. He even talked down about other developers, but not naming them. He tried to tell you how much of a “results before profit” type of guy he is. How he even has to fight contractors to get his way, the hard to execute way. It’s a textbook sales pitch in my eyes. A hired contractor, by the architect(thats the developer as well in his case), will do what he is told and ask for the exact money he feels he is owed. What sounded funny to me is that he basically said: i’m at a level, or i think im at that lvl financially(and he implied professionally as well), where i dont have to listen to or mold to the customers needs, on the pretext that he has transcended to this amazing place in his “art”. They get what he wants. His architectural justifications for this particular project were very 1st year architecture student and lacked the deep insight imo. The project itself was very cookie cutter, nothing really amazing about it from an architectural stand point. And it has some flaws to it. The spaces dont flow in a correct way, the functions dont overlay how they should.
To my surprise, Arvin has a more than decent architects eye in some aspects, and catches a lot of things that a non pro would not.
Lastly, the aesthetic part in the interior design is not ideal. Some places are splashed in a lot of black, to replace the white he wants to contrast with the wood elements, that works ok for the parts where he wants that scandinavian look.. but its not done well. Introducing black in certain rooms would serve as focal points or end points, points of interest that you want to mark. But its done in the wrong rooms. You dont want to do that in a bedroom, where people are supposed to go and calm down, unwind.. even the solely plastic(as in the color and material palate) part of black marble and wood does not work together well.. it looks gratuitous and non inspired. He went very cookie cutter but messed it up in the details of the interior design thinking. He did things for the sake of doing them, for wow factors that dont help with nothing. Again, thats just my personal opinion. Take a look at the other bedrooms, where he said he paid a lot of attention to. Look at the interior design of those rooms, and you could do that as well, as a non architect. He has no details to places where you get closer to things. Nothing to draw your attention when you pass by them. Things you see or interact with from a distance, are a good opportunity to give you ways to rework when you are near: from materials, to textures, to lights, and so on. He, or the person that designed this house(there could be other people involved) does not understand color and what it should do, imo. Everything he does is bulky, big.. to me, he is an avg architect that copies a look. Nothing is bad about his designs or planning per say, but nothing is amazing either. Let me do what Arvin does, in his very good get the people involved way: you saw the whole video of this house tour; name 3 things that stood out and that marked you. Not even details, cause he has none. Name 3 mental photos you took through the screen cause you were in aww.
Im only talking design and architecture wise. Its hard to see through a screen, but the craftsmanship seems to be there, i can give him that.
this architect is annoying af
Look up "pretentious" in the dictionary and there's probably a picture of this guy 😂
He talks as though we all want to spend our whole day listening to him.
He is not even a registered architect
I'm picturing the new owner browsing Amazon for bathroom mirrors...
Lol😂
hahahahah
The... Architect. I can imagine him moving in to make sure you are living correctly inside Odin. "No! No! No! You can't put a mirror in there." lol. Odin is angry.
Odin is angry died 😂
LOL
Regarding that intense poem on the sink stone in the mirrorless powder bathroom-I am imagining my grandma sitting on the toilet fretfully pondering its meaning, then, when she finally gives up, she opens her purse to powder her nose (it’s a powder-room after all), realizes she has no reflective surface, and has an epiphany. She then spends the rest of her visit silent, living through an inner existential crisis. Well played, architect, well played.
I died when you called them tormented artists 😁
Brilliant, Arvin. If I am in the fortunate position of designing a mansion from scratch, you are definitely being hired for a consult.
Thanks my man
re: office - totally agree. You want full privacy and quiet. Aesthetically it can look any way you want, but it shouldn't be located in any sort of disruptive area when you have plenty of square footage to work with.
I am sure the architect is brilliant but in the back of my mind I kept thinking "get on with it."
I kept thinking “get over yourself”🙄
And in the front of your mind as you typed it and we can now all read it too 😂
😂😂
@@Liahs333 honestly 😂
Ok we’ll get on with it… by going back to the beginning. But not that beginning… there’s more than one beginning after all… but way back to the time of the first single celled organisms. What was their home like? Did they really feel connected to it? They didn’t need mirrors. They were present in the self.
Evaluating an architect:
1) If they talk so slowly that you find yourself forgetting what the first word in their sentence was, skip them.
2) They should have an understanding of structural engineering that exceeds their artistic ability.
3) Get yourself a Steve Baczek not a troubled artists.
Who is Steve Baczek?
@@echtogammut Steve can consult for the build science, but sorry, his designs are not attractive.
You could literally hear the ellipses in his speaking
I forgot I had the whole video on 1.5x because he was Still so slow.
As a construction company owner with advanced qualifications in building and 30 years building experience I can honestly say most architects I've dealt with are insufferable snobs and faux intellectuals ... The best ones to work with are commercial construction ones as they think more like engineers than ridiculous puffy pirate shirted artisans crossed with a ye old English poet lol
That guy definitely has architourte PTSD. His powder rooms remarks....oh lord full on Zoolander!
ps: props for the pool. God bless him.
Ya come on … mirror in the power room? That’s where u gonna plant ur flag?
That guy talks like an "upscale designer for the super-rich" ChatGPT. Just throwing around buzzwords and phrases and concepts that any architect uses without truly explaining anything.
16:41 "These are spaces with life"... followed by some shots of the most boxy lifeless septic spaces I've seen. 😂 The whole thing looks like a mental hospital for the super-rich. (Maybe that's why you don't get a mirror in the powder room.)
Editing note... I got a bit of a jumpscare each time, from the slo-mo shots of the guy talking, to Arvin's head zooming in from the right. I think that animation could be more subtle.
Now the prison/CIA house in France looks more appealing for me!
“Homo sapiens! Oh you want to go way back.” 😂😂
There's not only the customer but another big nemesis for the architect as an artist: Building Code
They basically built the exact house twice, this one and another directly across the street. The one across the street sold a year before, with a bigger lot, this one took a while, it wasn't called "ODIN" until it sat on the market for a while and through some miracle, or clever marketing, the design was inspired by Odin.
Wait! He did a "deep dive" in Scandinavian myths and came up with... Odin?!?!? That's like saying I did a deep dive into Christian and came up with Jesus.
Nah, Odin is the highest god. Let's say you took a dive into common Christian or Jewish religion and came up with JHW.
Arvin! I've watched nearly all of your videos. You pull the curtain back on the living, breathing nature behind properties, their development, and how we as people interact with them. Very insightful and eye opening content! Keep it up!
Thanks Austin appreciate the support
Arvin’s assessment is accurate. One of my closest childhood friends is an architect, as is her husband. They are the kindest people you will ever meet, yet they are both tortured souls. When they speak about their projects, it sounds like intellectual artistic psychobabble.
Ground control to major DJ. Can’t imagine feeling this guy in every space in my house, and how he ‘got himself going’ in all of them.
Arvin going to the powder room to squeeze out a deuce is a spiritual experience in my books!
“Transitional” architecture is quite appealing now, the melding of various styles for people who don’t want to go all in on any one particular style. This is a really nice example. Also, you probably already know, but Enes did a tour of Onin.
I would go to that powder room and immediately be like “where the hell is the mirror?!”
19:50 he's a hypocrite, he suddenly cares about how people FEEL in a room. I'd feel ANGRY in that bathroom, angry at the architect and with the homeowner.
You need to stop thinking about yourself and appreciate the poem on the sink, the 200 year old reclaimed wood, the funny lamp, the lack of mirrors forces us to look inward.
What's hilarious is this house he designed is painfully unoriginal and looks like a confused art gallery. It's a mix and match, been there done that.
Yeah, the middle comes of like an Apple store even the inside with all that bright wood flooring and the white and what are those generic hostel barns added left and right? Jeeeees and all that pseudo profound mumbling on top, it almost comes off like an Andy Kaufman sketch.
Personally I think the entry and surroundings in the main block are as uninviting and hostile as the prison/brutalism house in the last episode. Looks like a psychiatrist's office.
@@friedrichweitzer3071 It's strange, it's not comfortable at all even thought it means to kind of be,
Arvin’s description of architects was classic! And accurate!👍
Odin lived in Valhalla, a gigantic castle, with big fires, unlimited amount of pork and mjod. This house lacks anything signalling north myths.
I am totally with him on the secondary bedrooms, I never understand those bloated primary bedrooms. Baths and cabinets, yes, but bedrooms? What do you do in there? You sleep (and f*), maybe watch TV or read a book, but only if you WANT to do it whilst lying in your bed, so all you need is a bed. Maybe a nice view and an outdoor space, but that's it. If you've got the money for such a house you've got a better room for everything else. But your kids will be doing a lot more in their rooms. That's where they play, read, watch TV, do homework or hobbies, host guests, make calls, practice on instruments, store most of their stuff and so on. They need all the space you could give them. Also your guests: If they want to have some time on their own, read or watch something, get some work done, have a private conversation, have a drink in private, they need to do that in the guestroom or better, like in this house, in their own sitting room with a small kitchen/bar. These people need that space, not you.
@Arvin Haddad You talk about "powder rooms" on the bigining of the video and I have a question about these.
In a luxury mansion/villa with huge incline towards having great parties (over 50 or 100 guests) on a regular basis, why we never see luxury hotel-like or commercial-like toilets with 5 to 10 sittings for women and separate toilets for men?
In some villas you show us, they are being able to have 500 guests parties for 2 or 3 available common toilets (out of the private rooms) wich seems like a nightmare for 200, 300 or 500 guests at the same time for an entire evening and maybe night!
You know what man, that’s a really good point.
I would’ve walked out 2 minutes into his consultation. What a pompous bore 🙄. Edit: Thanks for a good laugh. I felt like I was watching an SNL skit lol.
I agree with you about adding some greens to break the monotony of the wood instead of steel… If you’re going with Norse mythology, he could have put a large tree inside the house and put large spiralling stairs around it that connect all the corners of the house around the tree like Yggdrasil; the tree that connects all the Norse realms and is the center of the universe. Then put a large skylight to give the tree the optimal amount of sunlight and it would have been a spectacular architectural marvel with a Norse mythology theme.
So many different ways one could incorporate Vikings into architecture. I love your suggestion! I was trying to visualise a Viking long house in modern design and using textiles that reflect what Vikings would have used in their clothing/furniture. I can't remember if it was the Vikings who would build their housing into the Earth and then have straw/thatching as their roofs that would eventually become soil to plant veggies and herbs? Though I don't think you can build a long house into the earth. So many ways this could be explored, so many fun and innovative ideas and this dude seems to have gone for the least original concepts.
@@legoqueen2445 Oh, that’s really cool. Thatched roofs are high maintenance so it would be a hard sell for most, but I’ve seen something like that in New Zealand where they have a house with a grass roof (On top of a metal roof and a bunch of soil on top) that blends itself into the natural environment like the hobbit houses, but scaled up for humans to comfortably live in, it has a big opening from one side and if you look from the other side it’s impossible to tell there’s a house with how seamlessly it blends with the natural environment. Don’t think it can be done with huge mansions, but personally I prefer smaller homes even if I did have the money to buy a mansion.
I definitely agree that it was also a missed opportunity to use materials that reflect Viking culture, like fur (either natural or synthetic) for furniture. I would have also made all the bookshelves from live edge slabs and make it from the same species of tree that the Yggdrasil tree in the center is to make it integrate, and make a textured wall behind it to be reminiscent of a natural material, I’ve seen people use fabric on the mold for concrete to give it a softer texture, if you take white concrete and add the right pigments and mix it to create a kind of marveling effect to make it non-uniform in shades and colors, you can make some amazing looking walls that can have shapes that aren’t necessarily just a flat surface with regular paint, but make the color and texture contrast with the wood shelves.
I’m no architect, but I love the idea of using a theme to guide the design for a unique home, and it makes my imagination run wild. I definitely find myself disappointed by the overly standard and modern design shown in the video, but then again, we don’t know what the contract was for the architect…
@tokiomitohsaka7770 I studied environmental urban sustainable design as a subject for uni and have always daydreamed about building an ecovillage made out of domes. Earlier this year I self-published a novel and while I never got around to building my ecovillage in real life, the setting of my book is in these domed ecovillages! It was so cool describing how they were set up and how they functioned with permculture farming methods within walking distance of housing domes and each village having a centre for their schools, commerce etc, no cars. It was really fun to write! My brother and I then played around with Ai to create visual imagery of the domed eco villages, it was like seeing my vision become reality! There's so much potential in architecture if people really let themselves be inspired by what interests them!
Yeah, instead of metal. Raw wood and plants.
This guy is way too full of himself. You built a house not cured cancer.
Not even that. He sat all day on a PC and mumbled over his starbucks orange mocca frappucino to his employees about Napoleon, Odin and stuff. Trust me, he didn't even get one scratch or a dirty shoe with that build. He left that to mexican sub contractors.
This is a video worth watching. It is absolutely perfect. And funny😂
8:27 i thought you used powder rooms to do drugs?
Nah, it was always meant to worship Odin.
Hahahahaha
1:21 • Man... When he said 'the beginning', he meant the *_Beginning..._* 🤨
I bust out laughing when Arvin exclaimed 'Homo sapiens!'
The best architects can design within very limited space and resources. Give a small city lot to this guy and he would implode.
That is possibly the most beautiful kitchen I have seen reviewed on this channel. That is a bucket list kitchen. I want my ashes spread in such a kitchen.
What complete bull at the start does he really believe that rubbish
The House doesn't feel like a warrior god that Odin is it shows no glory on the outside or inside, the theme was not even executed.
Yeah it was more a SNL sketch. A 19 million one. Haha....jokes on you!
It‘s hard to listen to this guy … BUT: This is one of the most impressive houses I have ever seen! I personally love almost everything that I have seen. Ok, the mirrors are missing, but the feeling I get of the rooms and the materials is awesome! Goosebumps!!! ❤ Greetz from 🇨🇭
Did you grow up in Switzerland? Anton (DJ ZEDD) is European too and I think a lot of Europeans grew up with the IKEA style and they still love it when they get older.
@@Hoschie-ww7io I was always in Switzerland, since I was born 49 years ago. Yep, IKEA is something we all know very well 😅
@@NoobyTheBot that’s what I thought. Being brought up in Europe, especially in our age, we are really IKEA infused. That’s the reason we both love the building
I vote for the Arya Group. Ardie is a mad scientist when it comes to architecture design. I hope he isn't tormented. Thanks Arvin! Great video!!
Ardie is truly a God. And he doesn't even talk like this! But he could, because he has the talent to back it tf up. His homes are heavenly masterpieces. TRUE works of art. And he's respectable, so he would never skip a mirror in the bathroom.
@25:50 while he’s big upping himself everyone else is laughing because anyone with sense would use a crane so there’s no chance it damages the inside of the house. Someone with brains would move & set the stone earlier in the build before there was a huge structure in the way.
Then WHERE’s the torment? 🤷♂️
Yeah, I was wondering, "Why bring a 900 pound item _through_ the house when you can go _around_ the house with the right equipment?" Was it poor planning or a last-minute add?
@@grondhero Poor planning.
After all the pretentious nonsense, it looks like an Apple Store 😂
LOL word!
I want this guy not as an architect but as a guru.
I am a passionate architect from germany and I really enjoy your show.
Thank you
Would absolutely love to see you critic one of Ori Ayonmike’s projects .
I was an art major and when presenting pieces there was a lot of this kind of guy. I got up there and was like listen, the idea popped in my head while I was drinking and I made it happen.
Another fun and informative gem! Our architect designed us the perfect house…..at 3100 sq ft it’s a Munchkin rather than an Odin
Have you found Jesus? He’s in the powder room.
The steel support beam for the staircase could have been painted a nice color, depending on what effect you want. My usual instinct is a red, but a deep forest green might be nice. Especially when they finally actually put a plant in the obvious spot in the stairwell.
Back to Homo sapiens!😂 Arvin, you said exactly what I was thinking when I heard that. In fact, I agreed with everything you said in this video! This house is stunning! My next home will definitely have a Scandi-farmhouse vibe. Great job! Thanks. ❤
I love the house (after installing a guest toilet mirror). I bet Anton grew up with Ikea and he still loves it. Typical warm European-scandinavian minimalistic style. Amazing. Very cozy.
Beautiful well design mansion, a mixture of modern and farm house design. I like the open design and the scale of the rooms. It is wonderful to hire an architect to design your house.
How is it that your truly heartfelt, unapologetically sarcastic and uniquely knowledgeable channel has a sub number that is in the neighborhood of 16 million subs less than a RUclips channel called HowToBeBasic where I believe the first bit of educating the viewers is a crash course on how to make Charlie Chaplin's talents exciting to millennial!!
I honestly was truly shocked when I saw the very very low subscriptions. Am I being trolled or should I say are we being trolled?? Seriously though just found the channel 2 weeks ago and I've been binging it while driving, while getting the mail, while in the shower while walking the dog etc etc
so... a really cool idea for the wine cellar at the back would have been to incoporate that slatted wood design element with slightly wider planks that could have had bottle niches milled out of them, creating a custom, very unique look that went entirely with the aesthetic of the house. It's a missed opportunity for a true innovation in the design of the house - and one that would have had guests asking about it.
I do believe architects and designers at times can be pretentious and forget that there are thousands of homes around the world that fit this particular style. There isn’t anything fringe or avant-garde anymore.
At start I thought he is giving a monologue about the end of this world 🌎
Yeah it waa lowkey partypooper monolog....
Omar is legendary believe me
Hilarious and totally true description of architects being tormented artists. On a smaller scale, we were constantly battling "out there suggestions" that would have been nice optically, but non-functional. In the end, our home was left out of his book. 🤣🤣
Was this designed specifically for Zedd or was it a developer spec house and then Zedd bought it?
The latter
I love your channel, mainly for your smart and funny commentary. Naturally, you are knowledgeable about values and other realistic aspects of the properties. I'm also impressed that your aesthetic sense is so well informed and perceptive. Otherwise, I've never been attracted to mansions--especially modern mansions with their bloated proportions. It seems classic proportions and scale are gone for good.
Developer hired me to design his latest spec home, said he wanted a modern vikings home, what he meant was a house the same as all the other he builds but with antlers on the ceiling of the bedroom, the only design decision he let me keep was no mirror in the powder room. That powder room is my life's work
That dude might be the single most pretentious human being that has ever lived. I mean it's downright impressive - at first I was annoyed, then I was laughing at him, and finally I just sat there in awe. Anyway, great video as always.
Damn you do great work. Changed the way I look at property. Thank you. Little things like the mirror & the poem can be changed at a later date. In a nut shell, I love the house & would hire him to design a house for me in a heartbeat. But I'm sorry to say, I couldn't sit across the table & listen to him describe the masterpiece he created for me.
*the front of the house looks like STAR furniture showroom*
00:43 Thanks Arvin😂
Love that Mansion and found out Zedd bought it 😂😂😂
I like the way Sophie Patterson frames it. She is a very high end British designer. She calls it “the clients brief,” and she refers back to that. She did a luxury home in the Middle East, where the brief was a strict adherence to what a feng shui practitioner called out, and Middle Eastern dictates around entertaining.
Jae is talking like a character straight out of South Park
I’m sure this guys is a wonderful architect, but he’s not my cup of tea. True artists let their art do the talking. This guy just rambles on and on. I’m honestly also not a big fan of the kitchen. It reminds me of a baron office or library from the 1980’s. Another great video Mr. Arvin.
Hahahaha start from the big bang! U crack me up cuz 😂😂😂😂😂
Couldn't put my finger on it. "Out there" was my 1st reaction too.
I've worked on houses very similar to this one out in the Hamptons. Really nice, I'm a fan, but not innovative, and definitely not rare.
Indeed correct
What a modern house needs to be is energy efficient and relatively simple to operate. I’d love to see inside the utility room and see all the computer components, wiring, “smart” features from different suppliers, etc.
Thank you Arvin for translating "Architect" into English for us!
I have a sink, but no drain opportunity yet, this helped. 😂
So many zingers in this one while also having a thought provoking discussion. Keep it up Arvin!
This guy also designed a neighboring house called Onin; instead of a Scandinavian influence he chose a Japanese-style influence for Onin. Similar size and also sold for $18M except Odin has a basement. Enes did a full tour video of Onin and would make a good video for you to review now that you have done Odin to be able to compare and contrast.
this house is insane..love it
That's how you talk your way out of anual exam in Architecture class I
I think I'll go into my study and read a book. Hmm, let's check the index. Catcher in the Rye: .761 inches wide, 8.26 inches tall. Let's grab a measuring tape and find that bad boy.
When I was choosing an architect he was asking me tje right questions...as soon as I contracted him he stopped asking at all and did not care..😂
If I want a house built and designed I would like it before I die. Not sure about the serving hatch in the kitchen, I remember blocking them up years back.
Scandinavian mixed in with American barns, mixed in with modern. just make it too much for my taste (I have very little) . .
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love your facial reaction, before criticizing🤣
This was very insightful, educational, and funny. Especially concerning the fact I'm in need of an architect soon.
What would Odin's wine cellar look like, you ask? Well, it'd probably be populated with the skulls of his defeated enemies that you would use to taste the wine. But I think that'd be a bit much for this guy. He seems to be more into Odin the poet and quickly forgets about Odin the ruthless warrior.
Powder rooms are where you can go crazy with design, or at least, I've always loved when a designer goes crazy in powder rooms, lol.
Luxury tiny homes should be based off that pool house and outdoor area.
Hey Arvin, love your videos. I would love it if could post a breakdown of Enes's "Touring a $52,500,000 BATMAN Inspired Glass and Steel Mansion" Mansion. Thanks 🙏🏼
Arvin, if this Architect's design philosophy is based on the clients emotion (19:49 & 22:55) and we know peoples emotion changes, Wouldn't that make this design a flaw if the next client doesn't sense the emotion the Architect trying to convey or the emotion creates a negative experience for that client.
Jeez! Architects/designers really match art historians in blowing up banal things to gigantuous proportions.
Good one again haddad. You have shared so much knowledge and I've learnt so much, I almost feel like an expert now somewhat.
‘’ i am gonna critic him . Not giving him a free pass’’ 😂😂 you r sth else Mr. Haddad .
The slow motion shots of him walking around was driving me crazy. Dude obviously has more issues than Marvel.... its a nice house but like Arvin said, if you hire him you better be prepared to open the chequebook and walk away until its done.
Some clarification on Odin as Zedd isn't quite on par. Odin is the Zeus of Norse Mythology, the main God, the Allfader. He rules the realm of Åsgård, the realm of the Gods, where Valhall is situated. Only warriors who fall in battle or other glorious ways comes there. They fest and fight all night long; not much 'poetry' going on apart from singing heroic songs. Odin goes by 187 different names, only one has to do with storytelling; Fimbuktul ... The walls of Valhall are made from spears and the roof is made from shields and it's described as very bright, iow quite the opposite vibe that this house is giving. Odin would sure put a shining shield in the powder room maybe even a mirror, but I'm not sure if he would chose to quote from The Old Edda/Voluspå where it talks about Ragnarok - a final battle where Odin actually dies. So 'that is that'' as we put it in Norwegian. Apart from this, LOVE your channel even if I will never ever be able to buy any of these properties. What does your name mean? In Norse Norwegian the name Arnvid was used, now spelled Arvid which means eagle - good name!!
Arvin FANTASTIC job! Thank You!
I'm so pleased I'm never going to have to listen to this man drone on again. He's built a house for himself, which is shellfish and inconsiderate. From the outside it, looks like a collection of smaller houses tightly packed together, built like a filmset.
