Looks great 🎉

True

MY GUESS IS THAT THE GARAGE WE KNOW TODAY STARTED AS A SHED IN THE YARD FOR FARMING TOOLS OR MAYBE BARNS. NOT EVERYONE HAD A CARRIAGE OR EVEN A HORSE BUT THOSE WHO DID , MOSTLY THE WELL OFF HAD CARRIAGE HOUSES IN THE BACK OFF THE HOUSE. THEN DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY GARAGES DEVELOPED THAT WERE KEPT IN THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. MOST HOMES HAD LARGE FRONT PORCHES THAT MADE IT FAMILY AND NEIGHBORHOOD FRIENDLY.

More helpful video is how to build it

What are your thoughts on fake materials like EPS moulding?

That was very informative, thank you!

I live in a hoa lady told me to slowdown I thought she wanted directions she said the speed limit is 5 miles what the he'll are youtalking about I pointed to the sign 10 miles per hour I had just come home from my brother's funeral big mistake I appraised I went to her car with bat in hand she never came back ps she and the manager got fired

What you’re speaking of sounds more like a scullery than a butler’s pantry.

The only issue I have with anything said is “show me a historical example of brick being laid like this” 1. Define historical 2. When they first started using bricks to build houses they didn’t have a historical precedent to base it on. It’s ok to do something that does not have a historical basis. Most historical architecture was limited by availability of materials. They did what they had to do, with that they had available, for the times they lived in. They didn’t have cars to consider, they didn’t have electricity, they didn’t have running water or indoor plumbing, they didn’t have televisions or computers. We can’t get so caught up in what they did in 1723 that we don’t build our homes for 2023.

It’s not just the HOA it’s also local municipalities.

I find the conversations around McMansions fascinating. In my area, these houses are highly sought after and are 90% of new single family constructions. They start at half a mil and they never stay on the market very long. I've been looking for a nice, spacious ranch but that's like panning for gold. It's ridiculous. Housing in this country is an absolute mess.

Agree with the lack of depth of windows looking cheap. But this ties in with cheap homes constructed for the masses. The features you are talking about can only be incorporated in a nice custom home. It’s hopeless for the rest of us.

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. I soon have watched all your videos.

Do you think the McMansion is a reflection of mental illness (narcissism)?

Excellent video. I agree that the trust factor between customer and builder is paramount. Once that trust is broken it will not return and the project turns into a nightmare.

"Architecture is a reflection of our culture." That was a profound statement. I think the main reason homes have lost their character is because the building of the home has become mostly for wealth building and not to be a home. Another similar reason is people build a home and try fit all these wants in but if they just built smaller they could afford a nicer timeless home. This is unlike let's say 70 years ago.

you didn't mention turning the house 45 degrees to face the corner, which would make a side entry garage easier. What are your thoughts on that?

when you got to Oregon, you forgot to show the satellite image while talking

12 minutes in, I don't see what's on your tablet

Thanks for your video.

I hate that your videos do not get more views!!

This was so good! Very obvious you two have a wonderful working relationship!

Please don’t paint brick

I love the way you've approached and explained this. You don't want to do a basic sketch for me, aye? 😉 I am literally in the process of purchasing the same type of lot you've illustrated.

I’m not trying to troll you. But you’re knowledge on the topic and tips sounded great but I couldn’t really see what you were illustrating. Using you’re screen and tiny curser the way I can with chalk / dry erase board. But I wanted to visually see what you were describing bad enough. That I made like 6 attempts going over it to make out everything and I couldn’t. Just saying

Thank you I been looking on here for that idea glad you said it

Great to have another video. What an interesting and engaging talk. There is so much I have learned from your videos about the aesthetics of architecture and the interplay with interior design most definitely adds to that. Thank you both so much.

McMansions are not only designed by complete amateurs who don't know anything about maths and aesthetics, they're built on the cheap

I was reading Gustav Stickley's Craftsman Bungalows (book compilation of plans from 'The Craftsman') and in it there is a throwaway line referring to "the servant problem." He is referring to the shift in the post-war 1950's I believe - upper middle class families were no longer able to afford the daily in-home help that until that point had been taken for granted. So the bungalow was one of the first forms designed and grown around the idea that there may not be employees running the kitchens or other 'working' areas in the home. India is still very Victorian in this regard and the colonial-Indian architecture reflects this. Ironic because the bungalow was derived from India.

Is there a specific term for a string course that occurs three or four stories up on a tall building?

I've been watching videos for hours. I could have saved SO much time if I'd watched this first! This is simple, easy to understand, easy to implement, thank you!!

Thank you so much!!!!

The first (I think) sudo-HOA in America was Leather Village in a Detroit suburb. It was started in the 1930s and completed in the '70s. From my understanding, their only requirement was each house had to be different. This caused for all the designs to be original, and what I'd consider as timeless. Unfortunately, today's HOA's have clearly strayed from this model and now boast houses worse than my 5yo nephew's sketches

Grew up in Dallas Texas in a neighborhood full of ranch style homes built in the 40’s and 50’s. Lake Park Estates neighborhood east of white rock lake.

explain without music

Great, thanks!

A cladding veneer perhaps?

great video great unintentional asmr

the problem with curb cuts seems to me to be less about the curb cuts and more about the way we do setbacks in most areas, and also how horribly ugly modern garages are. I certainly don't notice or mind curbcuts in old urban centers with large carriage-entrances, even though they often have curb cuts or low curbs.

Thanks for simple explanation 👍

We need better urban design as well.

May I ask why you live in McMansion-esque house? In where I originally came from, in Cambodia, many architects designed their own house. Some of the expats won some awards for really unique and beautiful designs. They may have different elements from different eras but they all had unity and balance (asymmetrical). Thank for these great videos, some of those McMansions you've shown are beautiful until you stared at it for longer than 5 seconds, or when you cut half of the facade. I really appreciated knowing why architects kept making them despite seeing none of them really liked them.

Yey. I am not alone!!! Haha

My garage is on the corner and it depends on which corner hard to put on alot face north east I live on a corner lot and need a place for my rv i don't care if its my primary approach

love your videos clayton, Keep up with the good work
