There’s nothing like a little surprise to spark a bit of joy. Matt Adams and Ju Row Farr know this better than most. Singular in its approach and deft in its expression, the design of their apartment in Hove, now on the market, is quite unlike most - and all the better for it, as we discover in our latest film.

Cool couple, like their style and their chilled attitudes

[@oneofakindbyhoward-jx9mu]

What a spectacular couple with total innovation and inspiration. I’m extremely picky and 95 percent of what is out there is not great. You both have done a marvelous job.

[@lucasmenicucci8102]

The voice of this guy is just delighting

[@kellycoco33]

So beautiful, love the midcentury elements!

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

This is one of beautiful reasons of being resourceful and creative. 🧡🧡

[@adamj6113]

Love this home. Books, a beautiful dog, nice art work. So much more to highlight but those three are my favorite things in life sonI always focus on that.

[@cyberqueen777]

This is the kind of space where I belong, feels like home, somewhere that I would be able to create things and play music, have great decor and amazing lights. I like it, a lot!

[@cathystyler537]

Stunning home and what a lovely couple

[@poticatjasa]

It's great to see the Slovenian Rex chair in such a beautiful home!

[@j_constance]

Not a fan of the plywood walls, otherwise a beautiful space! Personally I would have added a big flokati rug in the sofa area to soften up the atmosphere as it is very industrial looking. Bet the dog has fun living in all that spaciousness!

[@consuelobruton9412]

Creative couple, their home a testament to this.... I wonder what they do in real life?! What is their art do you think?

[@maeshellewest-davies7904]

Such a great space! And I love you guys.

[@directresolution]

It's pretty cheap for the size (3000sqft) but it's not just overlooking the docks in an old commercial building, it's in a working industrial estate with a big Travis Perkins outside.

[@lindadinhobl1179]

simply great

[@AlexdaCunha]

another awesome project! Thanks for sharing this for many years I liked the Ikea Stolmen. Now I see them used here

[@vorcot]

it's probably vitsoe though

[@itsserhioball]

Love the soldier toys above the kitchen!

Nice candle / wax / drip tray!

Where in Brighton is this? Looks more like port of Shoreham harbour? Love the industrial chic aesthetic!

[@themrgumbatron]

The Vitsoe bath rack! what a beautiful home and flexible space..

[@janel4582]

Ooh I want that home and everything in it !! Dreamy😍 Shame the video wasn't longer😔

[@zounds13]

This is a good one.

[@jjjokkkerrr]

I really like the place! The materials and the colour concept work great and the furniture is well chosen. Takes some talent to make the lime green look as timeless as here. 606 shelvings work everywhere anyways and the freestanding version looks like it is made for the flat. But I don't think the "coming out of the wall" idea works well for the kitchen. At least from the perspective at 2:30 the kitchen front doesn't really stand out from the wooden wall in the back which makes the overall impression look kind of unfinished. Not an architect but maybe it would have been better to make either the kitchen front or the whole back wall stainless steel to achieve contrast. A stainless steel kitchen front would also highlight the cool yellow colour of the kitchen itself.

[@lmnoplmnop]

Love this. But how do they keep warm?!

[@craigjohnson8240]

I want!

[@ClaireLoy]

Yes yes yes.

Who was looking for the dog bed….? ❤❤

[@kristine8338]

The atmosphere reminds me of the house I built.

[@nanomea1447]

Is that a Vitsoe shelving system?

[@solb101]

How durable are rubber floors? They could mark and scratch fairly easy.

[@Ericthegreat1483]

The perfect party house. Although those steps getting into bed 😅

[@lukeobrien3446]

Would love to throw a rave there😂

[@ursonate]

Does it come with all the vitsoe? 😜

[@user-iu6dc6ft3s]

Beautiful. Inventive. If the lovely couple read these comments or if anyone reading knows - could you let me who the stunning lime green floor lamp in the dining area is by?

I don't know! We bought it from a vintage shop in Brighton.

Very nice! Very Brighton! Probably not cheap.

[@hortense-io3uq]

Beautiful house! Love the curtain division. Personally I wouldn't enjoy living in such an open concept where the noise circulate so easily, but to each their own

[@evelyntan5588]

I would like to know how their swing attaches to a concrete ceiling. If anyone can tell me, it would be much appreciated.

[@sphesihledlamini7495]

You basically buy industrial grade hooks from a hardware store, you get the appropriate size drill beat and you drill, put a plug followed by the hook and you good.

[@dxg999]

There are docks in Brighton????

[@joozimek9643]

Portslade docks !

[@alamingarba6479]

What is that lamp by the bed

[@michaelsnelling2918]

The one at 3:06 is Tolemeo Micro wall light … very practical and good to look at

[@debbieredfern2267]

I appeciate what they have done, but not a choice I would make if I had the money. The rooms are too big ,even with the cutains to seperate. Nice for the dog 😊

[@davidvanroon]

What's the name of that brown leather sofa the owners are sitting on?

[@xxiipp]

'Melodic embrace' sofa by CU-MO Design

[@davidvanroon]

Thank you!@@xxiipp

[@mattadams1767]

It's designed by Piero Lissoni for Fritz Hansen (not CU-MO)

[@mariesymonds5779]

Does anyone know the artist of the art work at 0:17?

[@mattadams1767]

The star shape collage? That's by Ju Row Farr

[@macheifach]

Love the space but imo, they could have done so much more with it, contrast with a wooden floor and more homely elements. I can't really see neither warmth nor enclosure whatsoever but then again, if you hate coziness, then that's a perfect place.

[@hisnameisnikita527]

That would completely destroy the beauty it has... the initial raw nature is a good opportunity for the modernism style they've considered not the "warmth" direction you have. And "coziness" is very subjective term, even though it's not very often considered as a criteria in this type of homes

[@macheifach]

​@@hisnameisnikita527I don't believe that coziness is subjective, I'm pretty sure, that the experience of coziness is something universal, embedded in our nature as humans, arising from thousands of years of evolution. There will always be a sense of coziness in the contrast of a homely interior and a harsh exterior. For example, the typical stereotype of a rustic cabin with a lit fireplace and a stormy day on the outside. No one ever will find that not cozy, unless you force yourself into being oh so contemporary, because you need to distinguish yourself from the plebeian, aesthetic bores. Then again, it's their place, if they like to make a mark as aesthetic progressives or whatnot, then whatever. I just find, there is disturbing lack of bravery for beauty nowadays in general (in music, art, architecture, etc.)

[@hisnameisnikita527]

@@macheifach But you completely eliminate the concepts of culture which modernism is about, we are no longer limited in perception of spaces by what's going on outside and how raw the exterior is, our needs are completely satisfied and people no longer need caves, that's the whole idea of this chanel and video: to show what goes beyond or aka "the modern house". You can also search what "Modern" means and what ideas go along it, it's not contemporary or cozy, it's a different set of characteristics

[@macheifach]

​@@hisnameisnikita527But then I need to know, what are the origins of those characteristic and if they are an expression of something authentic and genuine within the individual or if those characteristics are just an exercise in something, that has no correspondence of ones authentic self (like a trend, that is emotionally irrelevant but for some reason, people are following it anyways, until they realize, the trend never had any value for their life in the first place and they abandon it until the next trend). The artist / architect etc. has to answer that question: if a certain expression has a comprehensible counterpart within their own life experience and answer it in a way, I can follow the train of thoughts and comprehend, so it doesn't feel like arbitrariness. An no, we are never completely satisfied, but that doesn't mean, we can't take a modern interior and transform it into a "cave", where both characteristics are in an aesthetic AND cozy balance.

@@solb101 correct. Plus, not the objective of a video, to be paused every two seconds so viewers can actually see the content

May look “nice” in the film but in reality the location leaves a lot to be desired at the entrance to a working harbour with HGV lorries trundling by, Travis Perkins Depot next door and the whole area covered in dust and oil terminal

its ugly guys but nice effort 2/10
