What a DREAM. 👏My partner and I just watched this-and then immediately rewatched. The space, the flow, the light (my god, the LIGHT), the vibe. I didn't know I needed an atrium but here we are. A lot of recent architecture (I'm looking at you Grand Designs) has felt so same-y, like we're seeing the same concrete box over and over again. This house feels like an evolution of that formula; the ingredients are familiar, but they've been shaken up, reinterpreted, and painted green. Truly a breath of fresh air. *Really* fresh air given how many plants call it home. Obsessed.
A lot to like, but how energy-efficient is that glass ( or plastic?) ceiling? Couldn't they come up with a more ethical solution. I can't imagine that much transparency is kind to the planet. Ronchamp is dim on purpose and it works. I would like too see viable alternatives. Still the house thinks outside the box, accomplishes a lot and I would love to have it as a neighbor.🙂🙂❤️❤️💯💯
There should always be a budget....I mean did they have a billion pounds to spend, oh it was more? a 100 billion pounds? I mean really, so pretentious. Good job on the house though!
This is a remarkable home. At first I was suspicious but I was quickly convinced of its brilliance. My one critique is with the staircase. The homeowners chose to paint the staircase green. Normally, I would've chosen black but let's go with green. This hue of green isn't correct. This is more of a "puke green" or "prison green." An altogether better green would be "celadon green." Done correctly, celadon green is the most beautiful color of all. A great celadon has a beige putty base with equal parts green and blue, and balanced out with warm grey. A great celadon is confounding, impossible to pin down as to what color it actually is. Most importantly, celadon is super elegant. Celadon has a pulse. It breathes. Celadon is a color best expressed over a thousand years in Chinese porcelain. My other critique about the staircase is with the vertical spindles. They are too thick, again making them feel like prison bars. I would've preferred to use cables, given the staircase a lighter, softer feel and would've better blended into the architecture. Other than the staircase, this is a perfect home. Astonishing.
potentially exactly the same, because all the sheet material cladding only last for about 15 to 20 years, so they'll need to re-clad the building a couple times before it reaches 50 years.
Efficient, clever, innovative and for once on a budget leading to some great solutions. 👏🏻

i wish they would stop saying low budget and say the actual cost
£559,000
@@theowhitethat's a solid budget for renovations.
@@LottoLogista it's low for architectures, they're making millions a year =))))

How did you resolve the building control issue with the kitchen and bedrooms fire escape not being protected?
only 2 storey so escape windows offer an alternative means of escape, thereby not preventing a more open plan layout
Very well deserved. Great to see what is possible when architects listen and give good advice
I'm sure that staircase and those balustrades would give a lot of people ptsd. Not for me.
It cost £559,000
🤔🤔why is this a winner?
Prelepo.

How will you look in 50 years?
I thought the thumbnail was from a prison
