I'm a Japanese viewer. It's wonderful how you pay attention to detail and make it authentically Japanese

[@SimpleDwelling]

I am working on a Japanese caption for this video (and others), so I hope Google Translate is somewhat accurate!

[@TheReverenceProject]

Such a beautiful place. And it’s filmed in the most exquisite way as well! This deserves a lot of attention.

[@SimpleDwelling]

It is a gorgeous project. And thank you for your kind words about the filming.

The black and brown colour goes so well together

[@SimpleDwelling]

Agree! Using timber but with a contrast works so well.

[@Zjaan321]

Looks lovely! Have been appreciating it more since watching @ShoyanJapaneseCarpenter channel. The simplicity of the rooms and the timber is always stunning.

[@emidala1]

Love the architect’s commentary.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Antony is always great to film with, I recommend his other episodes as well.

[@iiikom-2]

Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece! I really enjoy your videos, always concise and insightful ☺️

[@SimpleDwelling]

Thank you for watching, I appreciate you!

Perfect little sculptural art pieces. It must be like working (or not) in a work of art. And Sam Cox's garden design looks so uncontrivd but sets them off beautifully.

[@SimpleDwelling]

The landscape truly helps these studios to settle into place without taking over, or allowing the architecture to dominate either.

[@Achdujeh]

that is simply brilliant. it creates such a calming atmosphere and yes, the references are so so clear :)

[@petecannan1836]

Calmness, peaceful & mystical…in the design, the build & landscape. Beautifully spoken & filmed also. Very inspirational! Thank you Peace.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Many thanks! So glad you enjoyed it, Pete.

Sublime spatial design, so beautifully executed.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Agree, Angela!

Konnichiwa Antonio! Well done! They've used one of the tekniks of japanese architecture, which is Shared Views[3rd technique] In this case, the garden. That blows thru the inside of the house that mostly used wood. I love it!

[@SimpleDwelling]

I think the garden just ties everything together, if it was just lawn and a couple of lemon trees, it would be a completely different feel.

[@peadar-o]

I love that it’s spacious, but not huge. It hasn’t been exaggerated into a McMansion version of a Japanese house.

[@glenncho3390]

really compelling process and outcome. but these owners are clearly wealthy, which forces a viewing of this not as a feasibility but a curiosity with the slight hope that some of these concepts and themes may be extracted back out to the normal reality of most people.

this is such a beautiful design and the garden compliment the studios so well. i do wonder about how practical it is in terms of safety and keeping bugs away.

3:22 spotted Arturia Microfreak - we've got a synthesist here!

[@poyntbs]

First thing I noticed in that space. lol.

[@nasiebauren2616]

Beautiful

[@johnnyxmusic]

It’s a lot of effort to make those roof-like things that barely function as roofs. So you’ve got these decorative flaps that don’t flap and then a flat roof; that’s a lot of money for a gesture. That’s architecture

[@mishkybishky]

So beautiful 🙏🏼

[@SimpleDwelling]

Definitely a personal favourite, Mishky.

[@vic4602]

I love the Japanese style!

[@mosca3289]

Why say “the materiality of those spaces…” rather than ‘the materials used’? What is it with architects that they use this jargon? Is it an Australian thing?

[@SimpleDwelling]

I might need to look at the transcript again, and maybe there was an issue with the captions, but I’m sure he said “The materiality of those spaces…”

[@mosca3289]

@@SimpleDwelling hahaha that’s my autocorrect error.

[@bernadineseven]

Materiality….?

This looks more like Danish 'Hygge'
