A Home in the Bush Designed as a Fireproof Sanctuary (House Tour)

[@godwin_njoroge]

This goes beyond what we can call a home. It almost feels transcendent. I can imagine that shower under the moonlight. Such a bespoke piece Polly, and to the Local Project team, hats off on how you always manage to make us feel like we're there 🖤

[@bluewaterpines2santarosabe398]

Perfectly written observation. So agree, as it is excuisite.

[@nikapolskaya8324]

What a beautiful choice of words. Almost a poetry. Like the design shown. Enjoyed both!

[@vickiiedel9509]

would somebody be able to put up such an awesome structure in KE tho ?

[@donovancatuncan5481]

Watching this cleared my sinuses. The amount of healthy oxygen you can experience in a home built on a property surrounded by trees and foliage. Earth, trees, and sky. This home is a healing salve for those wanting peace of mind.

[@philcliffe6909]

KZbin has shown me that Australia is really leading the way in uniquely designed homes.

[@jameson566]

By far, a combination of talented designers/architects and highly skilled builders.

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

@@jameson566 Not really . Lots of rubbish buildings this is only the top .000001% America also has better design and use of space and Europe has is way of using tight spaces and japan . Our town planning codes don't allow this only in the bush Lets be realistic and have these designers discuss town planning codes. Especially Victoria and inconsistency

[@paxsonkamau8050]

I feel like new Zealand leads the pack, Archipro a KZbin channel has some really amazing designs.

[@brittanygalpin6744]

This home is so beautiful - so considered and the materiality is perfect. Polly is so well spoken and down to earth - well done!

[@1hayes1]

Polly Harbinson is a very talented architect. This is great, but her Pearl Beach House is a stunner.

[@stephaniek6193]

Polly Harbison is so incredibly intuned with the surrounding nature - it is mesmerising!

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

How ? I went to UTS I Understand the trendy terms they use Yes its amazing quality construction and amazing detailing Tho don't you think it is more in tune or context to be in newtown or in Sydney a 2 storey residence and so compact condensed. With the wide open spaces we have in Australia why not a spread out design . I didn't see the benefits of 2 stories without views . Unless it was a cost factor and rock and slope And I had to watch it again The garage could have been designing different and hidden. People are paying big bucks for houses in Australia we a not yet up to America design standards and construction standards . Neutra used space probably the best and we are influenced by urban design and urban town planning restrictions Australia is a little backwards tho there are many progressives designers and amazing leadership in some ways My criticism comes because of property prices and this on a global cost just dosen't deliver or stack up and without a pool and rooftop balcony . I think few years from now people will ask or demand more for there money

[@emilyjenkins7698]

@@Simon-Simon-Simon it’s almost like people want different things out of their houses. For example, I would actively avoid buying a house with a pool because they’re work and I just don’t like swimming, and one of my favourite things to do is watch birds. I would much rather have these intimate views of the bush than sweeping vistas over the ocean. Different people want different things, and architects design for the brief they’re given :)

[@lisasu7094]

all of these architects and designers are so inspiring. i've genuinely completely changed the way i view architecture and what kind of home i want for myself in the future.

[@jesus2621]

Dude my architec only design square houses lol

[@lisasu7094]

@@jesus2621 yeah, a lot of the new houses all look the same in my area as well. it's a shame

[@hughmarcus1]

Real architects are really artists at heart. They have to combine that with functionality

[@markpromise375]

This is what we call home. Nature and Peace

[@nikaylawilliamz]

I’ve been watching 2-3 local projects homes videos for the last month and this is one of my favorites!

[@danielvargasmendoza6228]

One of the best houses I have seen. It's too perfect for me.

[@travelsouvenirs6027]

“Passing of time” sums up the whole concept of this beautiful house!

[@carolynclitheroe3588]

Pure poetry. I love hearing people talking about buildings like this.

[@jacksonhides482]

I love the level of consideration that has gone into this project but what I love most is the complete absence of any sort of preciousness in the materials and surrounding landscape.

[@donyalestafford2028]

Loved listening to Polly talk through the design brief and her creation loved her passion. Hope her clients love it.

[@andreafoti6634]

This is absolutely stunning. From the moment Polly described the setting, I had goosebumps... beautiful

[@architecturaldream1]

Exemplary. It is everything architecture can and should do. It elevates the possibilities of living. So much of exceptional design is unseen - how do we communicate the value of that to those that don’t value it because they can’t see it? There is so much being layered into this design it’s hard to even get your head around it. I’m an arch grad and this is an example of how considers I want my design process to one day be. Exquisitely executed. Accessibly and comprehensively communicated. Beautifully directed and shot. Thank you 🙏

[@VicTheMonster]

May We ALL Be Blessed with our Own Beautiful Sacred Living Spaces ❤🙏🏼

[@drakedrones]

That’s NOT a home. It’s a splendid retreat! Absolutely relaxing and soothing! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@benadams2283]

We visit Pearl Beach every year for holidays, and it's been so fascinating to watch this slowly get built over the last few years. So nice to see finally see inside it! Beautiful video as always.

[@keltiqrennee]

Listening to your voice talk about the house in the different features...features and the air... It just really made me smile. Thank you so much.

[@jaden7801]

The cinematography, her soft spoken voice, and the project was so calming. I could picture the family and years of joy that this home will bring.

[@GhostedStories]

This house is absolutely beautiful! ...and just when I thought it couldn't get any better, (boom) comes night, and the lights turn on! Absolutely amazing!

[@Alby911]

What an amazing home to retreat to and forget about life for a little while

[@divinenonbinary]

Wow this is the most pleasure I’ve ever had from hearing an architect speak. Wow incredible 🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@VicTheMonster]

This Home Is Absoulutely STUNNING! I Wish your Clients many Beautiful Lovely Days and Nights In This Living Space ❤

[@kenlim118]

Incredibly beautiful design. She has great skills as an architect and is extremely sensitive and sensible in the handling of architectural details and the environment. A masterpiece..

[@julietphillips1991]

Just want to say that she is spot on about the outdoor shower!

[@karenstanislaw8912]

our hostess is kind and subtle in vibration, as is the home. The art of dignified, idiosyncratic living and expression. Continued ease and wonder to its dwellers. Lovely.

[@reddevilian]

such an amazing choice of cold and warm materials

[@beatricebrown8221]

So beautifully done. It's almost beyond words to describe how this special place would be experienced. Just lovely.

[@jamessmith1549]

It’s rare that a home can elevate the beauty of the Austrian environment. Polly Harbison have achieved this. Well done TLP for telling this story. Pearl Beach will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️

[@interestedobserver587]

Was it the skiing or the castles?😄

[@davidhunternyc1]

That's a very beautiful home. It reminds me of the Glenstone Museum outside of Washington D.C.

[@localtextures4986]

These shots really absorbed my attention. Amazing work on this video and the house, of course!

[@meganlemire6319]

This channel is so UNDERRATED!!!!!

[@beefyogurt]

love the attention to how the shadows were going to play off the house when designing it

[@heatherdeavalon]

I live in the Pacific North West, this design would be perfect for our fire areas. Nicely done!

[@blujay9030]

Thank you Polly for a wonderful description of a beautiful house

[@fairytalena]

I love that you can see much more of the House Tour this time! Well done!

동화 속 같아요.... 자연을 자연스럽게 끌어드려 만족스러워요.... 빛과의 조화는 역시입니다... 기분 좋은 만남이예요... 가구의 위치도 섬세하구요... 감사합니다...

[@brettgoyne9761]

Magnificent design. As always, a lot of careful work and detail to create such simplicity.

[@reitsmaassociates]

Fabulous outcome! , thanks for the tour Poly. Thanks local Project for presenting so many amazing homes.

[@Baemigo]

I've oddly enough walked past this while doing a mild bush walk, it definitely stands out and from the outside it looks really nice especially in contrast to the area its in

[@davidenos1277]

I grew up in Oklahoma, US, where white cinderblock has a 'cheap' association, even when used with some sense of style. But I've always seen it as a material perfect for modern design and am delighted when its used so effectively and with such elegance.

[@e46Kyle]

Gorgeous. And beautifully presented.

[@sofiaechesortu5125]

wow this house is so dreamy...love the outdoor shower in the middle of the bush, such a unique place of calmness and serenity

[@SeekoGT]

Very nice home. I really know what she means about the contrast between the interior and the lush details and lighting that you get outside the window. It's really cool and somehow brings of memories of when I was young, but I'm not quite sure why. Great video. Thanks.

Beautiful carpentry & texture play

[@darien33]

Me gusta mucho este canal. La realización de los videos. La arquitectura que muestra. Esta casa me parece honesta y sin pretensiones, para mí le falta un toque de alegria para desear habitarla. Está claro que las sensaciones son personales y subjetivas.

What an amazing house! So artful, while showing respect to the surrounding environment.

Somehow the house looks sad and somber and that's on a sunny day. .Good place to write a crime novel.

The design of the house is not my cup of tea, but the location is amazing! All the sounds from birds and forest around. 😃

[@likhi13]

This is a magical home ❤️🐝🏡

[@brontec9769]

I love the fact that it is bushfire safe and works with the environment, however it reminds me of a wartime bunker or a desolate brutalist ruin. And then the idea that a snake could slide into your living room...no thanks! I'd like to see this design with a little more lift brought to it through brighter furnishings or walls, to make it feel more cosy.

[@christianemeiners9224]

Great architecture! Q.: locating a house within the bush and leaving it open like that, isn't it problematic with insects? I just always wonder how to deal with this - in my eyes - problem.

[@andreiafernandes8719]

everything is perfect about this project. if only i liked animals that live in nature such as spiders. i am having anxiety just thinking about an open window. you guys are so brave.

One of the best home I've ever seen & the best video uploaded by the local project. Loved the hybrid of concrete. I've personally disliked homes 🏡 within forest bcz all of them always gave me a dampy, soggy feelings..... Bt this is the only house which has a beautiful dryness inside and outside.... Unbelievably beautiful...........!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@blueman5924]

A whole new series could focus on the construction process of masterpieces, as this home is. Would be fascinating to see the scope of the contractors world as the home evolves from dirt to finish.
