An Architect’s Own Home Designed as an Experiential Tree House by the Ocean (House Tour)

[@Smudgie33]

Beautiful! Now this is how you do concrete inside right. Feels warm and welcoming and not cold and industrial. ❤️

[@TheLocalProject]

We agree!

[@sigissigis3174]

cold and industrial is a valid aesthetic choice for those who prefer it. it seems a bit backhanded to compliment one aesthetic at the expense of the other.

[@gavinfitch8406]

@@sigissigis3174 It's preference. You don't have to like everything, and it's fine to express that. Eyes of the beholder and all.

[@enzoenzo7895]

Late reply, but I’ll just answer your question. It is probably the warm lighting and what surrounds it, light always bounce on a surface or can be absorbed; in this case the warm tone of the wood and a white paint with warm tint, it really reflects the light and bounce around the room and that’s why it feels warm (or maybe it could be just the video filter 😂)

[@thewholehealthlab]

this woman's aesthetic is on POINT. she knows what she's doing

[@shanelucas9932]

Ooooh the lighting in that home both natural and artificial have been well thought out

[@hairgrowthmindset]

The house is simply stunning but the “cinematic” editing of this video with the background music makes it a whole experience.

The calmness she exudes is also visible in her house and it's so relaxing to listen to her soft voice as the video shifts into the house's every nook.

Somehow I got emotional after watching this video. Architecture really has the power to express our souls. What a transcendent house!

[@TheLocalProject]

Couldn't agree more!

[@davidcattin7006]

Beauty has brought me to tears on more than one occasion. When I watch videos about tiny houses, I often cry. Not so much from the beauty of the house, but because the owners have taken total control of their lives, pared down, and are happier than they've ever been. I'm saddled with 4,000 square feet of Queen Anne, and a yard that needs daily attention, and would love to sell it all and start again somewhere... A friend just up and moved out to the Northwest. Hoping that she'll be my inspiration.

[@ELLIOTCHOY]

this changed my life. this sparked something inside me. i view homes in a different way now. beautiful.

[@calle51423]

I was just about to write that. It's like I never understood the beauty of design and this video wrote out the equation for me. Something strangely objective and truthful about it all.

[@kalliaste]

Thats architecture for you ;)

[@caypasha]

[@John-pv7gk]

I feel the same way too. The way how I look at houses are different now.

[@nina.namaste]

I am speechless. Such a beautiful home and the way they played with the light and the water reflections is so amazing. How beautifull all the materials are integrated. And the view into the garden is simply breathtaking. A true masterpiece

[@TheLocalProject]

Glad you enjoyed it Nina!

[@davidcattin7006]

This house is-- DIVINE! Spare without feeling sterile. The lighting is perfectly thought out. It must be a total experience to be there at night. Too bad it's only 3 feet from the neighbors, tho, and that the neighbors up the hill can watch you in your backyard. City living I guess. I have a quote that echos her remark-- "In the most successful spaces, you don't see everything at once." ~ Vincent Wolf

[@sakuraflower7245]

Honestly I've seen so many home tour videos and this is by far the most memorable and beautiful home I've seen. It's modern, yet warm. It's not a giant house that consumes you, but a tastefully thought-out space that you would feel happy living in.

[@stefanyawaid1638]

[@frankenwini]

One of the most beautiful house I've ever seen. No clutter, very minimalist and peaceful. The use of light (natural or artificial) is just perfection. Bravo!!

[@clay1504]

i love the way the terra cotta floors blend with the wood in the adjacent room, and how she describes it as walking on sand. she speaks like a true architect! the way she describes the way light changes throughout the day is something i also appreciate in a home. while the home appears simple, its apparent so much thought and meaning went into it. very interesting!

[@mininasuprime]

Her voice Is super relaxing :0 Anyways, the house Is so pretty almost magical

[@StephanVolkert]

Dream Voice 😄

[@Hermes_Agoraeus]

So many commissions focus on making a statement about the owner or his/her tastes. But, people change--and, what was once a certainty becomes stale and confining. Ms. Blanchfield helps me realize here that design's higher calling may be to help the owner humanely reconnect with what's timeless, and help de-emphasize ego without becoming completely anonymous or sterile.

[@ch4ts]

I loved how the architect actually talked and get to know the children so she could make the room perfect for them. I'll integrate that into my way of work. Thank you.

[@lindsaywebb1904]

Considering they’re her own children maybe not so much of a stretch

[@yogajaxx8299]

This is the first house shown on this channel that resonates with me the most. They maximize the space of the house, there's a library, a lawn, a balcony, simple and not too much of a too much material and good plays of all the material. Things that are commonly used to build a house is found in the major view of the house like wood and things that are not common like you don't see grey concrete on the wall everywhere on the house like in some houses. This house has a bit of everything in the best way possible.

[@NikolaTheodore]

this made me smile. the lighting, both natural and artificial, was used in an amazing, awe-inspiring manner.

I love how the house seems to switch itself between its day and it's night vibe, it is so lively and energetic as its ready to start the day in the morning, and at the evening the house changed into 'pajama time' to end the day and chill with the family. Simply put, beautiful.
