Good morning ☀️ I’d like to purchase three back issues. Do you ship to the US?

[@ryehlb]

Black cabinetry, white walls, and gray floors; I'm such a fan of these. And that courtyard!

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]

Are the floors in the kitchen gray or ivory? It was hard to tell for me.

[@Lukavichiano]

@@kursatosmanoglu6888 good question. I couldn't tell until she said "Italian Limestone floors", at 3:39. Upon further research, AKA Googling "what colour is Italian limestone?", I happened upon this explanation: _"And because of the presence of a variety of minerals, it comes in numerous colors. The colors range from grey to buff, light beige to dark browns, reds, greens, greys, blues, blacks, yellow to pink, or orange pastel shades."_ So there we have it, folk; it's likely both colours.

[@kursatosmanoglu6888]

Thanks Luke. I googled too about the Italian limestone colors. Hard to tell sometimes with the light. Thanks

[@Lukavichiano]

@@kursatosmanoglu6888 they're beautiful nonetheless. Stunning place 😍

[@jamie3226]

it actually looks very modern and elegant. but it looks sad to live there alone. well its the people that would make it alive

[@keithronson2624]

Jaw-dropping! And minimalist! Perfection. However to find such a space and develop and ''re-use'' an industrial building and not a new build from ground up is so encouraging and illustrates what good design and being in tune with the orginal building can result in something so brilliant. Thank you for sharing this incredible home.

[@rsjrx]

They kept the brick wall boundary and nothing else. This narrative of "re-use" is masturbatory. These were incredibly wealthy people who did it because they thought it'd look nice, not for any other reason associated with sustainability, limiting waste, etc.

[@felle6459]

Beautiful work

[@suranjangunawardana5123]

Marvellous plane

[@littlenest]

Absolutely love the use of space with the courtyards, the perfect privacy and lushness of those gardens, just beautiful! ❤

[@kayelle8005]

Truly the first architect on this channel whose philosophy I’m 100% in sync with. Congratulations on creating your home.

[@shereen2884]

I agree.

[@kayelyward8714]

Amazing conversion of the commercial space to a home. It's so beautiful, peaceful, and serene. The creation of multiple Gardens and inner courtyards on the site is a wonderful use of space. Love the amount of privacy and seclusion that exists. Wonderful home! Minimalist at it's best!

[@annsmith7207]

This is a stunning example of minimalism at its best. Wishing this family many years of joy in their home!

[@amandalawrence7166]

This kind of minimalism is so beautiful and a real achievement. The windows and courtyards visible from each room, allowing the garden to be seen is very inspiring. Love it

[@CK1000ism]

The external walls are great-they allow privacy, texture, color and best use of all the land. The lushness of the gardens are also great and the creation of courtyards really made this space livable. The rest of the interior is every other minimal, modern box and misses out an opportunity to say something really new for an architect and builder.

[@isaac_opeyemi]

The level of restraint shown in this project is something I aspire to. Excellent sound design 👌🏿

[@paulinebrandt6767]

@olivia o. I am also repeatedly drawn to this design. Not to mention the garden goals as I aspire to craft my own. Restraint = big impact! 😀

[@larphraulen]

Can't say it's my taste but you can tell they executed their vision in a very comprehensive and personal way. Very striking!

[@PeterB198]

As a retired architect, I say without hesitation that this house is just brilliant. I've only worked on major projects; museums, office building and the like, but is I planned to get myself a new house these are the architects that I would appoint

[@mrvk39]

Minimalist tranquility and green outdoor spaces mix so well here

[@inbareform]

Being their own client, you can see the immense amount of love and detail poured into the home. I can sense the serenity from here, thanks for letting us in.

[@catherinebonanno6545]

Very nicely said.

[@barbaramassey3787]

Love the peace and simplicity of this house. Everything just right.

[@chinwengkeong]

Love love love this home. Probably the best I've seen on The Local Project. Great job by the homeowners!

[@GrumpyL5]

Very impressed with the courtyards and greenery with sliding windows. Keeping the high original walls has resulted in a sheltered oasis, as intended. Beautifully done.

[@SamGiles]

Complete and utter architectural ingenuity. Such a brilliant transformation!

[@brigettercw]

Absolutely gorgeous. Calming. The kitchen is fabulous. The garden areas are divine. My stress level declined just watching this. I can only imagine the joy of living there.

[@heidimeigs5192]

I’m a sucker for interior courtyards. This is beautiful. Very calm, relaxing, spare, but not cold.

[@paranoidhumanoid]

I love the space and also the placement of all foliage throughout the front entrance and outside the living area. So simple and lush!

[@TellurdogIsayhi]

I’ve had a home i designed drawn up for YEARS, and the biggest thing I want, is a large center courtyard (basically a square house, with 4 rooms, and the middle courtyard being big enough for a hot tub and a grill, and a little bit of grass). I love houses with courtyards!

[@andali555]

Same man, I love courtyards

[@joelnyatse3852]

That sounds interesting. I would love to see the sketch if you don't mind. If you're willing to share, I can provide my email address. Thanks!

[@TheCookieeis]

what are the cons to this kind of house? I bet its colder than others

[@sepehr1422]

This is what Architecture is all about. Perfect.

[@1thingaday-allwayslearning739]

I think I took a first breath at the beginning and a second one at the very end... So calm! The music fits perfectly to the mood of the rain.

[@janicealtamirano359]

BRAVO !! ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT! They are so fortunate to get to live there. May God let them enjoy it 🙏

[@anushkafernando7046]

just listening to her explain and the home.. can imagine why the house is peaceful.. so is her voice and they way she talk... amazinggggggggggggg

[@paulbourke6215]

Stunning. The most beautiful home I have ever seen.

[@screwge84]

World class. So glad they chose to keep it single storey.

[@ohheejin3421]

The details and use of space is amazing .

[@jeanpaulfung_]

I love this so much! The courtyard, the minimalist and calming approach. One of my favs for sure 😍

[@julieuk5855]

Architect and Developer = a match made in heaven!

[@chelsietefft9]

This is the first one I’ve seen that I’ve completely fallen 100% in love with. Beautiful work. What a treat 💕😊

[@michellefaiello3453]

AMAZING ……MY DREAM HOME…..FUNCTIONAL, BRINGS CALMNESS AND EQUILIBRIUM. WELL DONE

[@icecreamforever]

Watching this with my breakfast coffee.... absolutely lovely house. Thanks for sharing.

[@sloopy5191]

A really interesting project for sure! I couldn't live there, it feels like living in a mausoleum to me...but for many, it's heaven. The architectural aspect of it is the best I've seen, ever.

[@philcliffe6909]

stunning. I've said it before Australian designed homes are on another level.

[@tharindususan6640]

This home architect design looks absolutely stunning! The combination of modern aesthetics and practical functionality is truly impressive. I love the use of natural light and open spaces, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail is evident, and it's clear that a lot of thought went into every aspect of the design. Overall, it's a masterpiece of architecture that promises both beauty and comfort for its future residents.

[@davidalanmedia]

Love the home and the finishes. The interior courtyard adds so much to the home.

[@jakecollier9041]

Kyra did an incredible job on this project

[@BanditQ]

This serene, light-filled, private sanctuary nestled very snugly within a thoroughly built-up environment is absolute perfection. 👍

[@rebeccaw9656]

Beautiful, elegant, sophisticated. And as a fellow minimalist, love all of the hidden storage to put things away.

[@scottt.4596]

Simply beautiful. Incredibly well designed and executed. Outstanding job. Thanks for sharing.

[@sbo212]

I can't express how much I like this project. Every detail is perfect. The harmony is exquisite.

I think I may have found my dream home to live in. I can't find the right word to describe how this place looks and how it makes me feel. I have always dreamed of building a home that's minimalist, functional and exquisite. I may have found it when I stumbled upon this video. Such a serene yet gorgeous place.

[@kirbyeresman2659]

I am so involve with this whole design and concept!

[@siddusaik]

The Beauty here is the emptiness

[@mez8384]

Apart from those paintings (please take them away), it is the minimalist calm perfection. Rigorous and never boring monotony. Love that wet garden.
