Normally, I'd be bummed that a midcentury modern house was demolished for a new project, but this is a super thoughtful, interesting, beautiful house! Very warm and detailed. Not just another Hollywood Hills modern box. Really striking exterior architecture and interior spaces.

[@lpmj2619]

This is exceptional. Designed/styled to the max.

[@cyberqueen777]

It doesn't really get any better than this!

[@nikkilogan7726]

I love the overall space of the Strata house! From the rooftop, from the view deck, the pool, over to the open floor plan inside, Everything is amazing! Thank you Local Project

[@ericlinthicum6868]

exceptionally well done. The interior language is spoken so eloquently and on point with what I assume is the owners personality. Your ability to maintain such intimate scale within a larger home is to be commended. Each space feels as if it could live on its own, and exist well in either a 2,000SF house or 20,000SF. Thats hard to do. Your use of soft fabrics and intimate details within a strong and masculine structure is wonderful. It's a perfect mix of feminine and masculine energies blended into one. I cannot imagine how wonderful the house must be for entertaining. Or, just relaxing alone. Congratulations. It is truly spectacular!

[@agentofart5425]

Wow! What a granda and amazing house! LOVE IT! Such a great work! Bravo!!!

[@TheLocalProject]

We're glad you enjoyed this project 🙌

[@getbusymakestuff]

Outstanding. Every aspect, in every way. Incredible filmwork.

[@ResOwOnance]

This house is the definition of elegance.

[@jondutton39]

Wow, you have reignited my like for this channel. Videography + architecture review is superb.

[@olafhermans]

fabulously modern and vintage at the same time

[@ultimatist]

Truly one of the most exquisite homes on the planet. Congrats to the client and team!

[@bjorn2970]

Absolutely striking!

[@martzooo]

This house might be the best I've ever seen to my taste. (And I've seen loads...)

[@andtothewestamerica]

Beautiful. Coziest kitchen I've seen in a while.

[@01fendi]

Stunning home, that pavilion looks like an amazing space. Thanks for these shorts videos. I love them 💙

[@rotangman5786]

What an awesome house.

[@deelynn8611]

Just gorgeous!

[@timcarrington5977]

Love the aesthetic and the choice of materials

[@cameronreese1809]

This home is incredible. Very different from the homes generally shown on this Chanel as well. 👏

[@sonnydayz1745]

Warm and livable

[@jochen3068]

What a beautiful house.

[@CourtneyBishopPOA]

woooowwww. i'm definitely going to have to go back and watch this one several times over. some of those cinematography captures!! incredible. my only "con," and it's just not my style for video editing, is that there were so many scenes so it's hard to appreciate each one deeply, especially since there's so much to take in in many of the scenes. therefore, my reasoning for going back to rewatch many times. that said, this house has sooooo much interest, which I think is wonderful! fun, yet orderly. very well thought out and heavy on details, yet doesn't feel too busy or overwhelming. not quitee my style, a little too much modern furniture, but suchhh a delight to view and i'm sure an exceptional experience in person. the bravo!!!

[@TestMyVidsOut]

great view of the roof of the neighbors house down the hill

[@OhNooJosephJoestar]

very beautiful. I am rarely impressed by a home thoroughly but I really liked it very tasteful of a home

[@MercyoverJudgemnt]

Gorgeous 😊

[@RamarMsuya]

Stunning!

[@christianemeiners9224]

Impressive

[@vasylchenko1125]

Brilliant!!!

[@marthenryb8398]

Beautiful house!

[@yurimachado3724]

Despite being well integrated with nature, it has an expressive excess of straight lines that suffocate the simplest beauty.

[@cannyp3]

My grandfather had a similar style home. It was weird as a kid, but always a bit playful. Like a goofy museum with a fridge.

[@kwhatten]

WOW! Beautiful finishes!

[@faishalprabowo4823]

3:13 - 4:23 what song is this ?

[@mrvk39]

I really wanted to hate this house for demolishing that great-looking modernist one. And the mixing of the mid-century elements and black timber of Japanese influence and stone on the ground level, all of that mishmash but somehow I still liked it. It helps that it's a huge house with 3 levels, so the 3 different styles are not on the same plain to clash with its each other and interior design was top notch, and the vistas and the grass rooftop with the firepit and the glass pavilion were well-executed. Somehow it came together...

[@faishalprabowo4823]

3:13 what song is this ?

[@jolynbranch1211]

I love Local Project, but more and more I see less and less of the houses. I’d like to see more of the house, the decor, the layout, etc, please.

[@gilestang9911]

really cozy~

[@jtdave8721]

This is one of the most successful renovation I've ever seen. The way the architect make sure to kept most part of the original house and still achieve this it's amazing. And I'm pretty sure this and the palm sprigs one are for the same owner. This is an incredible house. I love this🧡🤍🖤

[@chengkuowolf]

that's not a house, that's a five-star hotel

[@JuanPabloDoniz]

to suggest that it's "part of the environment" is a bit of a stretch

[@user-cd3nb6yg8z]

Wowzers! Love this!

[@Alanwunsch]

Amazing!

[@stevengilleyOU812]

Unbelievable liveability!

[@aaaaaaaaaaaa808]

I think mid century always nice to look at but to live in I need to think twice. Felt like a prison, very nice prison.

[@feelgood9510]

Is there anybody from South Africa here? 😅

[@GraemeChapman-d6z]

Why design a house so big? It’s clearly not sustainable. I feel that it’s irresponsible. The planet clearly can’t support some people’s decadence. I love good architecture, but it definitely needs to be done in a sustainable and responsible way.

[@miguelgarcia4404]

El paraíso en la tierra

[@JBOsurf]

Pimpin' aint easy...

[@oliverlondon5246]

Obviously a great house, although in my view a sacrilege to destroy the iconic original design of the mid-century house.

[@lazlo2511]

..why so rushed? Difficult to understand the design language when you flickering into each picture frame? This doesn’t even look like a home? How did this get labelled, part of the environment? Another lemon in my book unfortunately.

[@SuzyShip]

It's starting to feel really boring here

[@apr888]

Rubbish editing: this moving scene then sudden cut to another moving scene is nauseating. If you really insist on this snippet presentation style, then pause/still the scene for at least 3 seconds before you transition to the next moving scene.

[@user-nx3ub1eh3l]

You’re welcome for the free content

[@davidiglesiasgomez7616]

Agree with you. But in their defense, they have a lot to show in only 6 min. Maybe somewhere there is long version…..

[@freechurros]

The scenes are literally about 3 seconds, what are you on about. Also you need to realize that this is a garganuent sized home that's crammed into 7 mins of footage. Lot of ground to cover

[@cannyp3]

LA is nauseating. They stayed true to the locale.

[@martinswede77]

⁠More like one or two second per take. Mainly one. I dare you to find a shot of the house that is longer than “one Mississippi, two Mississippi…).

[@paranoidhumanoid]

This home will crack in an earthquake or wild fire. Please show homes in stable, disaster-free areas of the US.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

Not if you design it properly. I designed my own house in SoCal. It’s expensive to do the earthquake regulations, but the concept works. The house is essentially sitting on top of a 6 foot compacted ground. The house floats on top of this compressed block of ground like it’s riding on a block of concrete.

[@SP-fw1xe]

The original house was better. Especially the design of the original windows.

[@markmatthews8675]

Less North American content please. There's already countless outlets to explore projects in LA and NY. What drew me and others to this channel and your publication was the focus on Antipodean architects, designers, projects, inspiration and lifestyle. If you must branch out can you at least keep it in the Southern Hemisphere? Mayne Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Southern Africa, Fiji, Indonesia? If you need to cross the equator perhaps Japan? Some of us look so forward to the release of your videos.. Brewing a fresh cup of coffee in the excitement of taking in a new video only to open it up and see it feature a home in the hills of LA is extremely disappointing.

[@oliverlondon5246]

Completely disagree

[@Ihele966]

Exactly!! Also Middle East has one of the best houses

[@moreamour2869]

Strata means loss

[@dannyl-p1543]

Rich people architecture is so lame and lifeless. This is just feels like 17 pinterest mood boards cramped into one house

[@TheWiseKingMan]

You say that rich people architecture is so lame and lifeless. Rich people might say that poor people try to over complicate things and look rich 😂.

[@1mmafrka]

Are you saying that your trailer mobile home is a masterpiece?

[@nikkilogan7726]

I love the overall space of the Strata house! From the rooftop, from the view deck, the pool, over to the open floor plan inside, Everything is amazing! Thank you Local Project
