These 4 minute videos are better than any home/design show on cable or streaming services.

[@monsterprak5864]

The stairs in this house are impeccable.

[@RyansnevetS]

MonsterPrak I was thinking the same thing!

[@jobrownsmith116]

Yes, beeautiful.. And I envy at the ease he had going down them. He may need to add a stair rail one day. I'm not as old as him but need one, as does my sister. 🙁

[@bennydimirco5073]

Innovation is showing people what they can have versus merely giving them what they want. Knud Holscher - a true trailblazer, thank you sir.

[@TawannaRucker]

The photography, editing and music are all done so beautifully. I enjoy coming home from a long day of work to sit and watch these videos. So relaxing.

[@singhsupreme52]

How in such a chaos, whenever i land on your video. I FIND PEACE IN 1ST 5 SECONDS...

[@prashanthb6521]

I like this design. Among the best on nowness.

[@suelencursinomensagens]

Adorável criação!

[@TrueMofo]

Thank you for sharing his insight

[@briana14333]

I love it, especially the window wall and stairs

[@reiniervanabbe2174]

Great!!

[@rneustel388]

So soothing-you’re cocooned from the chaos outside.

[@lhommemaudit6228]

Indeed...

[@thisorient6332]

Lovely made. Thanks for this insight

[@jorgeartemiocruzarias7383]

Fantástico!! Thank you

[@lb003g0676]

Some beautiful design in there with the Poul Kjaerholm sofas and plenty of usage of the Mogens Koch cabinetry, really beautiful. It's a dream of mine to have a kitchen with Mogen's Koch designed cabinetry.

[@celimendez7620]

Ph lighting, too.

[@lb003g0676]

@@celimendez7620 Good spot, they weren't very prominent in the video. But they're exactly how I'd like my PH lamp as soon as I'm not renting, mounted low above the coffee table :P

[@user-oi7su8fg1l]

Such Great practical math layout!

[@randygeyer7673]

Very well thought out

[@AliceInn]

LA MEJOR! en estado puro LA MEILLEURE! à l'état pur.

[@ramandeepsingh5870]

Loved the end to end track lighting set up. Are the tracks motorised?

[@yliberal6355]

I would love to live in that home, it’s beautiful!

[@shishi.p]

I was literally thinking the same before I saw this comment. Beautiful home

[@ReadingThing]

Sublime!

[@BettieSurfer]

Beautiful House

[@OriginalNoseBleed]

Could of showed more of the house

[@user-em1jk1zj5b]

замечательный дом и придомовая территория! столько пространства для мысли и отдыха души . Великолепно . Очень круто !

[@lhommemaudit6228]

Да !

[@Poppaea6]

Bellisimo!

[@johnfitzgerald1879]

stunning.

[@fatemehkh983]

Dream house...

[@ardas77]

This is nice.

[@kefbana2891]

What a Beautiful Mind. Poetry.

[@lhommemaudit6228]

All wonderful houses like this one are always ,always set amidst a lot of wonderful trees ! Without trees there never can be a lovely ,soul-soothing and mood-uplifting setting.

[@primrosedahlia9466]

Agreed! I hope to manifest a nice house in the midst of beautiful trees in 2021!, *serenity*

[@lhommemaudit6228]

@@primrosedahlia9466 Well done for you ! It would be great not only for your own soul's wellbeing if you own and dwell in a handsomely built and prettilly furnished house set amidst a lot of green, tastefully planted and aesthetically pleasing trees ,but it would be great also for the soul's wellbeing of all those living nearby or walking near your prettiest house ,who will feel deeply gladdened and even highly thrilled every time when they behold it! And last but not least ,by sowing a lot of trees in your own home's yard you will do a great good to the whole living Earth, at such a time ,when Trees and Clean Air for Breathing are so strongly neeeded !

[@primrosedahlia9466]

@@lhommemaudit6228 Yes, and that's exactly what I intend to do❤️

[@helgafuchsspirit]

So beautiful

[@maralkilidjian3224]

Yes it looks like an expriment house

[@anjar.3274]

The house and the garden are very beautiful in their individual parts and yet I don't want to live there. The cold atmosphere would depress me.

[@let6305]

hermosaa

[@Schwenni]

Does somebody know the name of the Painting at 0:42?

[@arlugomez]

It looks like a Franz Kline.

[@Schwenni]

Thanks a lot!

[@justlookalittledeeper9953]

I wouldn't change a thing.

[@gindphace]

name of the song?

[@headbandbybrianlundeen3132]

Nice Video

[@phosphenevision]

Its a nice house but why is it so cold looking, why not add some warm lights?

[@MrGeorgeqs]

We don't eat many redd herring from England which are the worst 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheReverb1]

Pretty good but actually in "real" life the problem is how many square meters you can build so to have a project similar like that you need plenty of space and sq meters taxes per year are way expensive in most places where you can buy big expensive plots. I never ever saw and is not possible to obtain all the things that the architect is saying but in a small scale. Yes; plenty of nice and superb small projects but you cannot obtain what you can obtain with big dimensions and simplicity

[@CurlyViet]

Flot hjem Knud:-)

[@beautifullife8593]

i think t is very lonely house and very sad music. After watching this video i started thinking that don't take the time and love ones from granted.

[@ExLibris-Alys]

And there was I thinking herring came from the sea... There are some nice art pieces here but the house doesn’t appeal to me.

[@shpazhist]

Дааа уж, это Вам не Сталинский ампир

[@kenlee1416]

Looks like a mix of warehouse, light industrial building and commercial exhibition/furniture showroom. Plus, to adorn the walls with scribblings and splotches... no thanks. Good video though.

[@adiiiida]

Quite frankly i hate modernism. Think these ideals of open-concept living spaces as an opposing movement to the older building principles are all outdated and irrelevant. If not anything else, at least corona virus has taught us that we might need some new ways of living, perhaps discover something new that is not the same old modernist open-concept square spaces that once were groudbreakingly new but are not as outdated as the previous centuries building styles, Maybe we could re-discover the beauty of separate rooms and different spaces within a home, embrace the beauty of privacy and the beauty of having separate corners and various different moments within a home, maybe even little spaces that are not rooms but maybe small corridors with a skylight or some other fantastic element that adds dimension and complexity into the experience of living inside a building. I mean how beautiful is an arched window compared to industrially manufactured squareness of modernity! Let's all rebel against squareness! :D

[@konstantinosstag6436]

It's all very relative and in each case something else is suitable but I really agree with your general sentiment. Rooms and nooks and corridors enhance the experience of discovery whereas open concepts hide no secrets and can be pretty plain. Especially and paradoxically in smaller spaces.

[@Henselngretel]

If i'm being honest, this looks like grandpa's house.

[@WalterTonetto]

_Nice setup ... but not a single edible veggie or fruit or herb in the garden!_ *WRONG THINKING!*

[@anitavirginillo]

maybe quit eating fish and it won't be a problem? Sentient beings are not food.

[@hamburgveganc6284]

✌🏻VEGANISM is the key...to solve SO many problems! :-).
