Brent you should try designing a house that average people can purchase at a reasonable price point. At least a spec that has good details and sizes of windows correct and doors. It won’t be huge obviously due to price point of materials, but the only way this is going to change is if someone does something, and who better than you!
The only way that would happen is if houses get smaller again. People dont want small houses because they have too much junk. The closest thing we have today is the tiny house movement, which isnt quite the same thing as what Brent is interested in.
Hmm, I don't know, but I may give it a try. Thanks.
@@BrentHullit'd be an interesting thought exercise. Even give yourself a pretty modest budget, and see what 'sacrifices' make the most sense. Some back and forth on the podcast would be informative. I would guess size would be the best way to save money and still end up with a beautiful house.
@@MrBaconis agreed! America has a shortage of starter/ moderately sized homes. Almost all new construction is McMansions and greater. If you want a smaller house you have to go with existing older homes. Making a new construction starter home that gets scale correct, materials correct, no garage out front, that alone would be a huge improvement. And I think there is more demand for that size and style home than people realize. It’s only due to lack of new supply that people are forced to McMansion even if they weren’t intending to.

In my neck of the woods (Western NY) “patio homes” (which can be quite large but I think average about 2500 sq Ft) are a rapidly growing share of the market.
The house with the rogue column was shown from 28:30 until 28:54… my brain would NOT LET me see that thing. It registered to me as an oversized down spout. Had a great laugh when you pointed it out!
haha, crazy.
FL Wright asked that this Emerson quote be read at his funeral, "Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist." Thank you, Brent, for taking the road less traveled. Thank you for promoting optimism about architecture.
Nice quote! Thanks.
Really really interesting presentation Brent. Like always you never disappoint. I was not thinking this would be a interesting topic but some how you pulled it off.
Glad to hear it. Thanks. Also thanks for the packet you sent on your business. Very interesting.
Excellent educational video. You're knowledgeable and craftsmanship is commendable.
My husband and I enjoy all of your fantastic videos. God bless 🙏
Thank you very much!
Brent, you should post a link to the Ann Sussman and Don Ruggles videos you recommend in your video.
Good idea. Thanks.
This was great, sure gets you thinking
Good. Thanks for watching.
Amazing video! I live in Georgia so I’ve been to Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. They are all so beautiful. The only catch…all those homes are insanely expensive.
True, but it proves a point to the industry that good design and this form of development works and sells.
Hi Brent, great video! You mentioned that a client of yours had a great deal of trouble installing a staircase because the builder and the code officials were telling her things like "the railing has to be 42" high" and you said that it didn't and eventually she got her design approved.
Perhaps you could do a video, or a couple of videos, on different aspects of a home and how you can challenge codes and prove to builders and code officials that what you want is possible and legal. Also, where do homeowners get the information that they'll need in order to prove that their design is acceptable? Not everyone is fortunate enough to know you :)
Good idea. Thanks.
Great job, total agreement from me.
I don't hear you ever mention the split entry homes. They were huge in the late '60s and '70s here in the NW. I think that is a house with no real fix to make them look good. I have never in 30+ years as a builder/remodeler seen anyone, ever come up with a fix that made one look good (other than completely rebuilding the front of the house).
I also think you are kind to the Mid-Century Modern design. I think they are more- the absence of design.
I think Tiny Houses are a fading fad that will never really catch on in any real way.
When you were discussing the pre-fabs and showing that house... It also looks like a double-wide, just with glass walls and a fireplace. Not much else to a box with a flat roof.
Nice, I like your feedback. THanks.
I grew up in a Bellevue, WA 1973 split level, formica/linoleum home with tiny closets, front facing attached garage, daylight basement, etc. Before the interest rates went up, it was temporarily appraised on Zillow/Redfin last year at 2.5 million, with only cosmetic interior changes since I was a child. Insane. Clearly, if the lot is worth that due to location, the world would be a better place if it were razed. Fond memories, though. Great place and time to grow up.
@@WBond-fr4ys I grew up In Bellevue also. Lucky for me my parents bought the only 1920s Cape Cod in the area. A precious few homes were built that early in that area. I remember them thinking about building a new split entry over by Clyde Hill Elementry. At the time I thought it would be cool to have a new house, but then they found the Cape Cod on almost an acre, what a great place to grow up.
Would you mind to link to the cottage you show at 1:08:01?

It's a good thing I didn't name these videos.
The series would've been called, "How the French Chateau became the American Sh1thole".
Haha, very funny.
You conveniently sidestep lead paint and asbestos issue in older houses.
The are 1% of the work we do and rarely an encumbrance.
enough already of all the negativity how about you show some examples of what yu consider good design with the classical traditions interpreted in a modern home, very few folks can afford to purchase a hundred year old house and or remodel one. So alternatives of design with the classical proportions and ideals would be appropriate to show.
Ok
I’ll never understand how people don’t see when things are ugly, especially if you’re taking a mortgage out on it.
Yep.
