This is the best design I ever came across… darn.. this is a dream home for motor heads.

[@StackedHomes]

It's a haven for motor enthusiasts indeed. Thanks for sharing your excitement! 😊

[@notoriousfierce]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS HOUSE. Much better than most luxury houses out there. It's a smart design with personal sense of style. I hope the owners know how much I adore their home. Fabulous!

[@StackedHomes]

It truly stands out amidst the sea of luxury houses with its intelligent design and unique style. 💯

[@nickcarter5569]

Thins is one of the realest houses I’ve seen in a good while. They truly designed the house around their lifestyle needs, and not what the “Jones’s” want. Happy people, happy house 😌🤘🙏

[@StackedHomes]

It's refreshing to see a home tailored to the residents' lifestyle 😊

[@bryansandiego2658]

Absolutely amazing renovation. From a old, dark, ugly flat to a beautiful, bright home. The skylight and brick wall are gorgeous. Bravo!

[@StackedHomes]

Bravo to the incredible renovation work! 😊

[@kennygoh91]

such a good episode! this beautiful couple can be hosts themselves, very well spoken and articulate.

[@StackedHomes]

They have a natural charisma and eloquence that shines through.

[@nafisah_abubakar]

clever use of skylight for a long narrow space, makes the whole house spacious 🔥

[@StackedHomes]

The skylight is a stroke of genius. Such a clever design choice! 😊

[@kellywoo-nc3kw]

such a pleasure to come across an intelligently designed home

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely! Intelligently designed spaces are always a delight to discover. 😊

[@turowat]

Very clever use of space. The garage is a hit.

[@StackedHomes]

The garage design is definitely a standout feature. 💯

[@fritz4345]

Wonderful place!

[@StackedHomes]

It really is! 💯

[@DominickBertin]

[@anhnguen3718]

the tone and texture of the wood in the master bedroom, it is so beautiful. I love it

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you! The wood tone and texture really do add a special touch to the master bedroom.

[@yondaimehokage2281]

Beautiful home👌

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you 😊

[@korbaul]

Dear modern should check this out, he always says not to have a clear path that cuts through the house and if so one should try to obscure the vision through it by drawing eyes away from the path. In this case there’s a window and glass bricks at both ends meaning a clear view straight through is possible! I want to see how he’d react to this

[@nauggies]

love how proud and excited they are about their home!

[@StackedHomes]

It's heartwarming to see such joy radiating from them. 😊

[@ElaineLim-l6v]

what an amazing testament to bringing to life an historic and forgotten shophouse building

[@StackedHomes]

It's a beautiful revival. Thanks for appreciating the history! 😊

[@DonYang73]

Cool. Two thumbs up to the couple. Bonneville & Vespa too

[@themrgumbatron]

Looks like a cool couple, who enjoy hosting/entertaining. The skylight really transforms the space and the personal design touches and trinkets add a layer of tasteful personality to the space. Especially love that clock in the hallway.

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely! They radiate hospitality, and those personal touches make the space feel like home. 😊

[@skygaz3r]

Such a lovely home! Love the gorgeous Japanese pine tree in the middle of the courtyard next to the motorcycles!

[@StackedHomes]

The pine tree adds such a serene touch to the courtyard, perfectly complementing the cool factor of the motorcycles 😊

[@greytogray6070]

Amazing. What a cool, cool home. Your eye for detail really comes through and compliments every corner of the living space. Congratulations!

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you so much! So much attention was put into designing the home 😊

[@ardethellis8930]

What a fun couple and a charming space.

[@StackedHomes]

Their vibrant energy truly shines through in every corner of their charming space. 😊

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

A very humble home with unique and interesting features. 💛💛

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you! They created a humble space with personality

[@sqd8r]

❤ a bachelor's dream, as a lifelong motorcyclist, I always wanted a ride in living room and a woman who loved the idea.

[@StackedHomes]

Here's to finding that perfect riding partner! 😊

[@gustavocecille2063]

[@BradThePitts]

2:25 must be lovely to live in a safe country where you can keep bottles of liquor open to the window 👍

[@StackedHomes]

The peace of mind in a safe country is a true blessing 😅

[@gaillee2190]

This is just mind blowing! Unique and quirky designs, honestly I really love it! ❤❤❤

[@StackedHomes]

Thank you, Simon and Beth! 😊

[@TomHofmann]

Great design. Would have been interesting to see how they resolved the issue of drainage during the heavy down pours.

[@StackedHomes]

Good point! Drainage solutions in heavy rain would be fascinating to see.

[@lucadicriscio8182]

I love how every house they show has the space age pendant lamps.

[@StackedHomes]

Well you can never go wrong with it 😄

[@tanyab-xw3ye]

Beautiful, livable, vibrant home, love it, well done!!

[@StackedHomes]

It's everything you could hope for! 😊

[@MK-dt9jm]

How I love this space:). I appreciate the courage and vision of the buyers in the beginning when the place was still dingy and dark

[@StackedHomes]

The transformation is truly inspiring! 😊

[@5ftway]

Funny story is - when our main contractor first viewed the unit, he was like, Wah... why would you guys even buy such a rundown looking unit?

[@Caitness1]

So very cool, charming and suits the lifestyle of this inspirational couple. No wonder friends and family hang out there a lot. I really liked the contrast of the white in the dining room and the old terracotta coloured bricks. The glass ceiling, light filled places and cross ventilation are very attractive and much needed features in Singapore’s heat.

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely! The design perfectly complements the couple's inspiring lifestyle. A truly delightful space! 😊

[@JOAODESOUZADIONISIO]

Beautifull couple!

[@StackedHomes]

They're a lovely pair indeed!

[@latsword3513]

Like a few others I would like to see a budget breakdown and where some of the furniture can be sourced from. Love that kitchen chandelier

[@VincentDenise]

It’s a great visit, the house is well decorated 👍

[@StackedHomes]

Absolutely well-decorated 💯

[@deeplyclosetedindividual]

The most mirrenial thing I’ve ever seen. And I love it.

[@StackedHomes]

[@adlene5961]

Besides of all what have been mentioned I would like to give a ++ to the B&O cabinet 😉

[@StackedHomes]

Definitely! The B&O cabinet is a standout feature 😊

[@B14-y9x]

Amazing and thoughtful re appropriation of space❤

[@StackedHomes]

Indeed! It's a remarkable use of space, filled with thoughtfulness.😊

[@JenniferPChung]

I love the amount of personality in the decor and the thoughtfulness in the design. I especially love the hidden bathroom doors though😮👌

[@StackedHomes]

Such a brilliant touch! It's the little surprises that make a space truly special 💯

[@davidcks]

[@norbertbajgyik1607]

did anyone noticed the kitchen cabinet/island quality and the wardrobe/bathroom door quality ????? great great build, it would be hard to find a carpenter in the states that would not charge you half of your house to build it for you

[@theazfar]

Loved it, differ from other houses reviewed in this channel

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you noticed the uniqueness! 😊

[@noelreklaw37]

TW200!!!!! Yeehaw!

Living the life bro! Nice place and she is fine!

[@StackedHomes]

The place is indeed amazing 🤩

[@thenorthwatch777]

Beautiful house! Btw where did you get that dulton clock? Ty!

[@Simplyluvly]

Love the motor garage

[@StackedHomes]

It's a rider's paradise, isn't it?

[@midcitygym]

Superb.

[@StackedHomes]

Extremely.

[@swimmingpoolz]

Very cool space, just one question - do you host often?

[@rainrain8684]

Best design so far from the norm suits the couple characters and lifestyle

[@StackedHomes]

Completely agree! It's nice to see a design that truly reflects the couple's unique personalities and lifestyle. 😊

[@lorenaibarra7868]

Genial!

[@strictlyyoutube6881]

I love it

[@StackedHomes]

Who doesn't !

[@roubini74]

i love the orginal brickwall under the sunlight of its skylights looks beautiful. will it trap heat? water repel sealant is a necessary for these aging bricks. nevertheless, it looks beautiful. the folding windows at the front of house also is a outstanding piece. how much did the owners spent rebuilding the whole unit??

[@mbizozo6271]

South Africa represented!

[@yuen0404]

The way to solve the darkness problem is genius. I cant see the powder room for guests tho.

[@StackedHomes]

Yes it is! 😊 There's a powder room right next to the kitchen 😊

[@5ftway]

You can check it out in the video, from 05:13 onwards.

[@christopherpalmer4243]

1900sqft, it's huge

[@StackedHomes]

It is! 😊

[@s10024980]

very nice design.

[@StackedHomes]

Agreed! Simple and unique!

[@simply.k3573]

Absolutely love the design of this house, especially the exposed brick wall which adds a wabi sabi feel to the home. The only space I didn't find attractive was the master bedroom and bathroom.

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you enjoyed the design overall! It's interesting how different spaces can resonate differently with people. 😊

[@parisivana]

Nice House

[@StackedHomes]

Glad you think so! It's definitely a stunner. 💯

[@sumeetlamba4603]

Great job. Seems like such a happy home

[@StackedHomes]

Definitely, they homeowners do look happy in their home 😊

[@cacchow]

Is there no level 2 or other rooms besides master for such a huge space? Charming nonetheless and cute couple.

[@ivaanwar3742]

in indonesia we parking motorcycle in sitting room, thats simple and classic 😂

[@StackedHomes]

Haha, that's definitely a unique tradition! Simple and classic indeed. 😊

[@Gareth]

Does anyone know what that privacy film on the front window was? I'm in Australia and would love something like that.

[@damongraham1398]

Would it be possible to add another floor or two in that space?

[@finalion]

whats the wall clock ? i keep seeing it around !! gotta know

[@jaimedavis439]

since they host so much themselves, theyll understand when ppl use their video as a drinking game. every time they mention hosting, take a shot, friends/family everybody chug. combination? drinkers choice drink responsibly

[@redshoe02]

How they managed to have skylight, 2nd level is empty?
