[@chuckandary7115]

Such a beautiful home, it’s actually amazing that with all the concert and wood it does not feel cold, I love the use of one or two materials that really make it feel grand and simple but luxurious at the same time...definitely one of my favourite I have seen on this channel

[@rossbannan6138]

Thanks Chuck

[@leighharron]

A beautiful house. The form work must have been a work of art in itself. The stepped glazed openings are a real treat. Well done to all involved.

[@jh0742]

I watched this build in another show , all i can say is that he has an incredible strength and understanding of design and spaces, so many architects and owners just want one big white box, this shows how much people don't know how to make a space have a feel. People are more interested in making homes show off. Yes just my opinion but i see this every day. Beautiful job.

Absolutely brilliant. Classical decoration as a counterpoint to Rustic and Natural Concrete. Only the best can do it !

[@invictusmaneo464]

Man, those colours are just amazing!!

[@RamRams02]

this is probably the best house to live in for me (at least ), the concept, the design, the colors, the placement describe my mood in the best way possible. I guess that I found my dream house, literally this house fits me perfectly.

[@kevin-uy3yh]

What colors? There's only the saddest grey i've ever seen and a completely nonsense white stair I respect your opinion but I really don't understand it

[@RamRams02]

@@kevin-uy3yh hahah its really weird that after 4 years i still adore this house, and i just saw your comment btw. i kind of understand your point of view, but after thinking about why i feel this way about it, the grey isnt sad but rather calm. its not totally dark, but yet its enough dim to make every single piece visible, you know what i mean? like every single little light or little object will have more presence in the house, so these type of colors gently show all the details, and i love details. plus, the location of the house is so beautiful, colorful, which is a total contrast of the theme of the house, which i guess balances it in a way. i know my answer seems kinda pholisophical but honestly thats how i feel about it all if i needed to put it in words.

The concept, design, architecture and placement are great, but those grey shades are very depressing, to me! I would prefer warm wood paneling such as oak or any other quality wood!

[@oreopax8885]

Yeah I would agree, but I'd much rather have this house be set near a forest with a small waterfall/creek as the front view

Stunning architecture

[@ChazH2011]

Reminds me of an under ground parking garage. Disappointed in the dark gray to black interiors, sorta cave-like with no stalactites or stalagmites. The chandeliers look totally out of place and context with the modern style of the building. From the exterior view, with the oriented framing of views through the large glass panels, the building looks quite good. I do like the vertical light gray concrete with the wood patterning from the concrete forms or shuttering.

[@banyantree8618]

[@Ganpignanus]

it's a vile house and an insult to the site

[@rimantasva]

would be interesting with more technical details, on how it was built and not that much of interview scenes. Also a bit better overview on how does the house look as a whole.

[@rossbannan6138]

Hi Rimantas, We used a highly flowable and dense concrete so the exterior is extremely waterproof even without any sealer. The insulation within the outer concrete works to create an extremely warm home. Thermal massing of areas creates this and makes the house perform better than any other type. A lot of time was spent on creating the cantilever over the manacle and I wanted to eliminate the post also but this proved to be not possible. The build required a lot of planning to optimise the use of the small crane I had and also how each wall finished at the top so all fitted into the roof build without any issue. The Finn walls have a weatherboard patten but we could not use standard w/b as these have a small cavity behind them. If I was to pour against these then these cavities would cup. There's a few areas which hopefully help out. Glad you took the time to view. Ross

[@daboundy]

Loving the shiplap effect of the concrete walls. The tilt slab pour with the deliberately exposed retention points is so overdone. Personally I would have liked some warm colour inside .. all that grey and dark hue would send me into suicidal depression.

[@danthompson8073]

very nice..ya know

[@zeitgeist5134]

If I were instructing an architect on how I wanted my house designed, I would tell him that ALL THE WINDOWS MUST BE EASY TO CLEAN. That would eliminate skylights. It would eliminate any window that could not be cleaned (indoors or out) by means of a fairly short ladder; in fact, on the exterior, windows not easily reached from the ground should have a balcony/porch (or perhaps an engawa) on which the window-washer can stand. High windows under very high ceilings are a foolish choice. Asked by a friend for a bid on her house, a window-washer told her, "You couldn't afford it. I would have to rent scaffolding to reach the high windows; the labor required for erecting, climbing, and dismantling the scaffolding would cost you way too much."

The home itself is beautiful. I'm a fan of the architecture. The only issue I have is it doesn't really fit the outside. A home like this would fit more with a mountain view, not a palm tree/ocean view.
