An Architect's Own Environmentally-Friendly Timber Home

[@13janvi]

The idea of a kitchen being the most used space is absolutely correct and designers need to focus more on making these spaces interesting and usable rather than retrofitting.

[@bougiehard6653]

Nah.. The kitchen being the most used space is absolutely subjective, it depends on who you are.

[@13janvi]

@@bougiehard6653 true but the user group who uses the kitchen least is less. If you’re talking about students, most of them live in shared homes/hostels . While major user groups are families who live in a proper house and need a fully functioning kitchen.

[@filausopoako]

Kitchen opening to the backyard is always a great idea.

[@artisansworks]

I love the idea of using the slats, combined with plants it creates wonderful light filtering and projects a richness. Not sure how possible that is for many, but it’s a great idea. Beautiful house.

[@medlc8497]

the back of the house really surprises you. the design is beautiful yet practical. LOVE IT!

[@rhonda6791]

This is an absolutely beautiful house. It’s clean and modern but also warm and very calming. It first a feeling of home.

[@debrap947]

Visually the outside is confusing. My style is thrifted cottage, but I have to say the living/kitchen space from the inside is gorgeous.

[@omeuvi1639]

Guess that’s what makes good architecture

[@user-pf3yl9yn8g]

at least in mi country (Mexico) the big houses has a "cofusing" outsides because we try dont be stolen

[@tgadesign2854]

Tôi thích phong cách mộc ( nó gần tựa như những ngôi nhà của Nhật Bản ). Phong cách nhà mộc làm cho chúng ta trở nên gần gũi với thiên nhiên, thân thiện với môi trường. Ấm cúng trong phong cách sống và hơn cả là tốt cho sức khỏe khi tránh xa được các thứ làm từ kim loại. Kiến trúc sư đã làm rất tốt điều này với căn nhà của anh ấy. Xin cảm ơn sự chia sẻ.[ Vietnamese ]

[@cnut4563a]

Excellent one this - would love to have more of a sense of the flow of the house in its entirety tho. Often find you videos leave me unable to adequately understand how the dwellings work as whole.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Thanks for the feedback, it’s definitely something I’m working on. Sometimes I don’t film particular rooms (bedrooms, laundries, etc) and so I forget to get shots that can help tie things together. Thanks for the feedback, know I’m working on it.

Love this house !! I even like the colourful painting on the wall.

[@Luniel11]

Question with homes that have living spaces with huge walls/doors that open up to the outside. Do you not deal with flies, mosquitoes, bugs & other pests especially in Australia?

[@miniteddy5555]

This hse looks amazing but im a bit confused abt the flow n layout of the hse. It would be useful to show the overall flow n layout b4 going into each space.

[@naaabbbilah]

I love timber. But, do you have other options that have similar texture as timber, but with lower maintenance?

[@janandreabarraquias8755]

beautiful design, look nice

[@rbdub]

Really appreciate the slide about acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land and waters of Ausralia. But WHO are they? Those of us who are not from there would like to know those people's names. For example, on Turtle island, we say (at the beginning of a conference or a speech or a gathering) that we are on the traditional territory of the _______people who have cared for and continue to care for this land and we commit to a process of decolonization. Point being - would be nice to name those people. Otherwise, it can feel hollow.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Hi Robin, A completely valid comment in which I’m happy to say that recently I do insert who the people’s is. If you watch one my recent videos, you will see how I do things now (and intend to continue to do so), including having the acknowledgment towards the start of the video.

[@belcastrohomes]

I love the transition between the kitchen to the deck, I would like to do something similar on my current project. What is the width of the house?

[@wilkensgarance]

I love the kitchen layout, window and feeling (inside-outside flow) and love the interest in low carbon foot print.

What maintenance is needed on ur timber?

[@tafnusyifaputri8087]

1:36 me thinking if the dog is a furniture or a real dog 🐶

[@harperwelch5147]

Are residents required to maintain these so-so "historic facades? By and large, they're really dull structures viewed from the street. Missed opportunity to say something fun and remarkable. Too cute as is. The rest of the house looks great!

[@SimpleDwelling]

Sometimes they are, such as if there are heritage overlay constraints on an area or property, which stipulates that the historical facade must not be touched. Other times the owners or architects love the facade, and want to keep it, and in some cases they keep it to help with the sustainability.

No irony, building out of timber, especially sustainably sourced timber like Ben's house, it very friendly to the environment as opposed to steel and concrete.

[@shashwatiswain6652]

Environment friendly home that is almost made up of timber which is made of cutting off trees (destroying environment). What an irony!

[@SimpleDwelling]

Sustainably sourced trees which have been radially sawn to use as much of the tree as possible.

pedestrian

[@FairleyTrashed]

In what way? What does architecture need to be to not be pedestrian in your opinion?

I agree with Alison, but also, how is this home dull? It's full of warmth, greenery, beautiful timbers in and out, the light quality is incredible... Please expand and give specific reasonings.
