Modern Architectural Brilliance in Oakville, Ontario

[@1anre]

I intentionally take the longer backroads route through Oakville to see houses like this on my way to work, just to remind myself it's possible and keep motivating myself to expand my skillset and attract newer opportunities.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks, it's amazing what can be accomplished with some passion and hard work.

[@piya-mia]

SAMEEE! I walked through lakeshore Mississauga during highschool years - it’s been 4 years since I graduated - and it inspires me SO much to look at those houses

[@robvillella1]

good for you man, I used to do something similar. I think it really helped me!

[@arlened4331]

My husband and I walked past this property when still under construction... wonderful to see the finished product. Amazing job❤

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you!

[@geoms6263]

I also worked at a bank and once I entered the safe where money was kept

[@1anre]

Did you guys finally buy a place in Oakville or elsewhere

[@piya-mia]

This has to be the best renovation I’ve ever seen . Retains the essence of the house and is so balanced with nature. I love the way earthy tones are incorporated through the home and the lighting is just immaculate. This is truly my dream home! I’m gonna buy this one day 🤞🏻❤❤❤

[@smpldesignstudio]

Very kind words, we love it too !!!!

[@clemlowes2112]

Driven by many times and knew it would be special project. Watching this video surpassed my expectations. Kudos to the homeowners and all involved in this project on a job well done.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks so much for the kind words

[@piya-mia]

In love with the architecture of this home - absolutely stunning . pure luxury and class

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We're always striving for luxury and class in our projects.

[@Unpreeeedictable]

Great job! So happy the original home was renovated. I’ve enjoyed cycling past the house over the last few years watching the progress. One of the nicest homes I’ve ever seen.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lifeofaninteriordesigner1305]

Beautiful! This home was crafted perfectly!

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you so much!

[@NancyRobertson-g7s]

So fun to see the transformation. It was a home with the most fantastic bones. Completely reborn. Love it so much. Congratulations to all involved. Such vision!

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you so much!

[@fragout9575]

Would love to see the original footprint of the house as well as the floorplan of the remodel!! Regardless, beautiful execution!!

[@jameliaduvante-ir8xk]

This so stunning....makes me wish I was a millionaire

[@basilkingsley]

Stunning!!!!❤🎉

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you! 😊

[@therichbuddha3277]

Of course this is one of your guys projects! I've been admiring it for a few years!

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks for recognizing our work - we're always striving to create unique and modern spaces!

[@Hardhatmediaa]

I drive by this all the time , such a sick design

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks so much !!

[@gbengaisiaka6913]

incredible design. i've watched this vid like 10 times.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks for watching - we really appreciate it!

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks so much - the team appreciates the kind words !!!!

[@nathan8417]

great video please film slower, play the video in 0.75 and it’s way more enjoyable and detailed

[@rxonmymind8362]

Wow. A lot to take in. Have to watch the video several more times. Amazing work.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Wow, thanks!

[@dadejazzba402]

A lot of good elements that clash with each other

[@eliasnabi]

Microphone Tip of the Day: Did you know a lavalier mic is a tiny, lightweight mic that clips right onto clothing? It’s wireless (or wired if you’re old-school) and designed to be pretty much invisible. Great for actors, presenters... and anyone who doesn’t want their audio to sound like it’s coming from inside a tin can in a wind tunnel. Just a thought for next time!

[@smpldesignstudio]

Appreciate the feedback

[@tycanuck]

Would the lavalier mic help with the soulless echo heard throughout the house?

[@Mike-yz6oo]

Very FLW, love it.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thx !!

[@RuthBrown-tm2gt]

I love this, brilliant design, so refreshing from these monster homes. You feel like you are in the country. Only thing missing is the Lake. Kudos to you for this magnificent build. Combining location, brick, wood, stone and esthetic design. Frank Lloyd Wright would approve. My kind of taste, if I had the money.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Cheers !!!!!

[@fahimaethakhan8288]

Appreciate this design home ❤

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you for appreciating the design!

[@KidsCollegeLife]

Amazing job team! 1 day I hope to use your services to design our dream home!

[@dipkatTO]

I wish the intro cuts of the front house were longer. Too short to really take it all in. Stunning house!

[@smpldesignstudio]

We’ll definitely keep that in mind for our next walkthroughs!

[@michaela.5363]

well done

[@captinzoom]

Great work..this is ao different then most homes you see in this area. It feels like a smaller version of a celebrity home you would see in LA not the burbs

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks so much - we always strive to create unique and modern spaces!

[@marca1812]

Thank you for the video. Fantastic property. Very well planned and executed. The attention of details is incredible. One question; what are the fascia made of? They look perfect and not bumpy like sometime aluminum does. It is very hard to make perfect dark colour fascia.

[@smpldesignstudio]

It's called ACM panels ... and it was installed by arcnova

[@seanshortt6359]

Sound quality of the video detracts from the presentation

[@smpldesignstudio]

We're working on the compression rates for the next video .... appreciate the feedback

[@knowledgeeveryday0]

A very nice video 🎉

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thank you 🤗

[@marcs9453]

i want to buy it now!!!!

[@typejab6409]

4 years is crazy

[@smpldesignstudio]

With multiple permits, phasing the project and covid ... sometimes perfection takes time

[@edwinquaihoi8503]

Restrained beauty that incorporate the "straight lines" that humans create as an extension of nature

[@smpldesignstudio]

Absolutely !!!

[@omarawadh8023]

Mashaallah ❤️

[@naiftor]

Absolutely amazing job. I wonder who is the architect and interior designer .

[@smpldesignstudio]

Our firm tackled the architectural design, and interior design intimately ... smpl Design Studio

[@naiftor]

Sounds great. Will get in touch in spring. I have a very similar lot I would like to work with you guys. Best regards.

[@acholaokoth9421]

Always give the floor plan for a better understanding of the home.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Great feedback!!!! In the meantime, they can be found on our website usually

[@feareddynamite7297]

Dang I need u guys to do my dads house 200m away 😭

[@napjohn88]

looks like a corporate work building. No character at all. Just a google head office.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Sorry you don't like the aesthetics. To each their own with a custom home. That's the best part of our job. Creating something unique for each client !!!

[@jacquesraymond6892]

Not my cup of tea. But i like the inner garden wich i would use for méditation.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Such a great spot for meditation!!!!

[@jeremysoares131]

The home is beautiful but the audio is driving me crazy

[@smpldesignstudio]

Great feedback, thanks ... is the music to low? High? Voices ? Let us know !!

[@mhassan6857]

The roofs are flat, won’t it cause problems during heavy snow season?

[@smpldesignstudio]

We've designed and built modern homes with *flat* Roofs for 15 years, but morth America has been doing it for 100 years. Installed properly, we have zero issues.

[@realestatewithdanny4337]

Amazing work! Love the architectural accents and the preservation of old spaces of the home like the indoor pool! The video syle is a bit too fast, seeing something more like a walkthrough would help us viewers understand the layout and functionality of the home a bit better. Is a bit choppy to keep up with.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Appreciate the feedback - we'll be sure to slow down the pace in the next video. We love the indoor pool too!

[@caine-chow]

Is this on the market?

[@smpldesignstudio]

It is not on the market, no. Not at the moment at least

[@loriknoke8021]

Its a beautiful house! I would have enjoyed this more if you had not made so many quick edits in the video.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Thanks for the feedback !

[@FamilyGuy-h6g]

wow what's the build cost for such a project?

[@smpldesignstudio]

Big range, with tons of variables... but our projects start at 500$ and go up to 1,000$ per sq ft

[@TheEpicChikidii]

Although I can appreciate the effort, it doesn’t feel like a home at all. More like a corporate building? And I would change the colour palette

[@smpldesignstudio]

It's all about personal preference, we're always striving to create unique and modern spaces for our clients and their design appreciations

[@jenniferfitzgerald1796]

Gorgeous house but the audio is awful, like you’re muffled in a closet. Couldn’t understand it.

[@smpldesignstudio]

We're working on the compression rates for the next video .... appreciate the feedback

[@igorrozum]

How much?

[@smpldesignstudio]

That information is not usually shared

[@ShailPM]

@@smpldesignstudio i think most showcasing homes on youtube shares that

[@mikemurphy8996]

Oakville is the last place in the GTA that doesn’t have mass immigration. It’s the same now as it was in the 90’s. Brampton, Scarborough, Toronto, Oshawa, Mississauga all have changed so much. Oakville is a great community to live.

[@word-is-bondboxing890]

Oakville is nice, but just too far from the city for my liking.

[@bab8ter]

whats with the gas leak sound

[@MacDiggity]

Wonder how much it costs to have the exterior sprayed for spiders twice a year.

[@skoshytube]

Nice technological and some good architectural updates however, lacks coziness and frankly i feel I am walking through a corridors of a fancy building or some sort of. Not really a homely feel. Sorry but that’s just through my eyes.

[@smpldesignstudio]

We're always striving to create unique and modern spaces, it's all about personal preference! And we appreciate the feedback

[@Calvin.rx1l]

Not a fan of the interior design of the house. A lot of earthy tones that add a glim look to the place. Reminds me of a hotel downtown. The brick wall inside the house gives the house a very cold feel to it. The wood slates are overused throughout the home

[@smpldesignstudio]

Sorry you don't like it... not all our projects are everyone's cup of tea. It's about creating unique homes, one at a time, for each and every one of our clients

[@cgutsche2302]

Lovely BUT where's the art!?? I only see 1 sculpture/fountain. 😞 Those beautiful walls need embellishment.

[@smpldesignstudio]

We're big on minimalist design, but art is totally personal and always adds a flair ... it's a work in progress for the clients to find the right pieces

[@cgutsche2302]

@@smpldesignstudio I might be a tad bias. ;-) In any case, it's an awesome property.

[@LovelyCooK]

Something feels off about this property-it's like they used cheap materials in the construction to make it look more expensive than it actually is.

[@smpldesignstudio]

Sorry you feel this way... all the millwork is custom from Italy, tile from Italy as well, all details hand picked to come together holistically for an amazing home for the family

[@1anre]

That's a hurtful comment to drop on somebody's labour over several months or years even

[@Andrico77]

You gathered all that from a KZbin video lolol

[@LovelyCooK]

@@Andrico77 Funny how a discerning eye can pick up on quality (or lack thereof) even through a screen. If you can’t spot cheap finishes or shortcuts, maybe it’s time to work on your attention to detail instead of assuming others are just guessing.

[@Andrico77]

@@LovelyCooK ir perhaps you realize you sound like a dummy. Essentially since the builder indicated all millwork was custom Italian made along with imported tile.

[@Camelphat21]

Costs $500,000,000 cad

[@smpldesignstudio]

Not that high, but also not 12$

[@dpledoone]

Wonderful architectural detail, but I would not want the smell of chlorine wafting through my home-indoor pool maintenance cannot be neglected. At up to $1000/sqft there is no margin for error.

[@smpldesignstudio]

We used proper door and window units, in addition to proper wall assemblies.. and there are no pool smells inside this amazing home

[@frankhugh2052]

Nice but lots of dead spaces

[@cahg3871]

Hope who ever buys this place likes paying outrageous property taxes.

[@richardgrant8192]

Horrible audio - moved on and didn’t finish watching.

[@jayminpatel21]

Price??

Not available, sorry
