I Built The First Ever Modern Victorian House.

My goodness John! This is absolutely amazing!!! And as your art teacher in 9th grade, I am blown away at your eye for detail---all the Elements and Principles of Design executed beautiful in the construction and design.

[@johngioffrebuilds]

Same, I didn't like it, it's awful..

[@dmterrell7607]

This house is truly amazing, I love the Victorian era homes and what more newer homes to look like them. But the Primary Bathroom is awesome. The wood and marble is exactly what I need in my home. I’m borrowing the design to a T.

This home is GORGEOUS!

[@johngioffrebuilds]

[@WolfDT991]

I love the design, it's just the garage in the front detracts from the aesthetic appeal. Victorian-style homes typically feature expansive porches and detached or side garages.

[@johngioffrebuilds]

My preference would be to have the garage behind the house. The city of Austin code is extremely strict. There was no possible way we could do this here. Modern houses need garages. So we went with a badass double insulated steel garage door!

[@kaitlanquinlan4982]

I love this home! Love Victorian era homes and this is my dream home!! You did an amazing job! Well done! I am obsessed!!

[@olli-lfe]

That main bathroom and study is chefs kiss, absolutely beautiful. I like the minimalism and design of the attic space as well. Those cedar shingles are nice, wont they grey out over the years? If so the house is grey so that may be cool with the owners.

[@madisonx]

I really love the zen garden as a mix of victorian and zen. I wish the light fixtures were more vintage and used less light woods throughout the home. The woods used for the floor and staircase seem too modern and cliche. It doesn't respect the historical victorian architecture.

[@TropicalThunder21]

I’m going to school for CAD and intend on getting a builders license, I want to build a housing development eventually, not a huge one, maybe 10 homes, but I want all of them to be in s Victorian Style, not necessarily like this, but more ringing into its classic roots, I want large and narrow windows, with vaulted ceilings, and I want them all painted in pastel colors, I need to find land with mature trees because that’s something I’d like as well, and I want a smooth brick road with younger smaller trees in the middle median with flowers and exceptionally landscaped areas… I want my home to be there as well, at the end or the road up higher than the rest

[@CryBabyHoe]

This is cool and I am not knocking the hard work you put into it at all. It's a cool blend of styles, but to call this a modern victorian is a stretch. This is a modern house. Period. Some elements have been inspired by the old charm of victorians, but to call this a modern victorian puts a stain on the victorian architecture style. Very cool looking house and obviously you put a lot of work into and should be proud.

[@willfishing5605]

I'm a builder and a huge fan of Victorian homes. This is pure genius! I get so sick of building the same cookie cutter BS that everyone hires us to build. Just copy paste repeat. This is so awesome and different! I'd look forward to going to work everyday if I was building like this

[@everythingyousayiscorrect]

Now that’s wtf i am talking about! I hate modern architecture and wished someone could finally figure out a way to just evolve old school styles with modern touches. This is perfect! I mean, if I was rich and could afford this the only thing I would asked to be changed is, I would want the kitchen, the living room and the dining area to be separate like traditional Victorian style homes would have had. There is something magical about having those separate rooms walking into a different room, like a maze of a house that I just love about older homes.

[@johngioffrebuilds]

Dude thank you!!! This house is my baby. I put my heart and soul into it. I really appreciate you saying that! Thanks for watching brother!

[@MikeAG333]

Don't over-state it. This house does NOT look like it could have been built 100 years ago. It's a fun house, with some nice design elements, but to claim it is Victorian is pushing things a little too far. It's got too many glaringly non-Victorian things about it which just don't tally with Victorian design, even neo-Victorian/ modern blend, such as a double garage door prominently in the facade, and a big projecting semi-circular flat roof. The principal aspect of Victorian design .........its number one criteria, in fact, is decoration. The principle thing about Modernism and post-Modernism is the absence of decoration. That is a circle you'll never be able to square. Victorian design and Modernist/ post-Modernist design are polar opposites. One is the antithesis of the other. Nice fun try, but this is facadism: a bit of fakery. Which isn't to say it hasn't succeeded on it's own terms........it's a nice house.....but the claims made for it are somewhat off the mark, I'm afraid.

[@johngioffrebuilds]

It’s called MODERN Victorian it’s not Victorian. It’s a blend of 2 styles. It’s Victorian reimagined in the modern world. It’s a new concept, try to wrap your head around it. Imagine a brand new car with an old body style we all love. Do you think that’s ever been done before?? Or is that just IMPOSSIBLE?!! 😂😂😂😂

[@dollylynruth]

This is incredible!!! I grew up in a Victorian home that my parents spent decades remodeling. I always thought I would love a modern Victorian home someday and you made it! Wow.
