[@michomucho6452]

So good!... garden as central court yard... nature... kitty... ticking all of those boxes!!!

[@Archimarathon]

Glad you like it

[@sparkl3dust17]

I love how respectful Andrew and the firm are of the client's lifestyle and personal preferences. Great filming and editing Kevin. Also very impressed by how Kevin can bring up all these references when he notices something such as the reference to Venturi effect. mad architectural knowledge and eye for detail.

[@Archimarathon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@danaesquires7571]

Love these. Andrew's houses are full of warmth and life.

[@SketchyArc]

Love this so much, it's like being on a field trip!

[@Archimarathon]

Yeah, if it wasn't for the train noise, it actually felt a bit like being in the country.

[@Vhs_000]

Biggest garden on the street! Great concept and use of materials.

[@Archimarathon]

Also good use of garden and the perception of space. When it is just lawn, space just disappears.

[@Claudiozee]

Love the house, the design and the details. Interesting there's no need for garages in Melbourne. It helps enormously to make the design much more at human scale all around. Well done Austin Maynard Architects. Thanks for the walk through video

[@legendl7254]

I love this tour video series. The space and the lighting design are so good. I can totally imagine the wake up moment in the living room and bedroom. Thanks for making this video. The drone shot at the beginning is very cool! Good job Kevin. PS: Does Andrew has an obsession with Bathtub? 😂

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks. Yeah it seems so.

[@caplin]

Love this multi-generation home

[@stewarthicks]

Awesome tour! Such a thoughtful design. Thank you for sharing.

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks Stewart.

[@urbancolab]

I love their garden houses. It shows how the design doesn't stop at the exterior walls.

[@Archimarathon]

It's about defining spaces. Once you draw a line you have 2 conditions on either side

[@badapple65]

Just, beautiful. Great design.

[@miubongxulong]

Love this house so much, I have the eye on this house since It was public in Archi Magazine. Thank you for taking us on a tour

[@Archimarathon]

Glad you found the video

[@Nynke_K]

Very cool! What Andrew didn't mention (or it didn't make it into the edit) is that the study and bathroom wall and doors are also covered in wallpaper by an indigenous artist: Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, Jilamara 'Inlet'. When Andrew said 'terrazzo, yummy', I actually noticed the dots on the door thought, 'ooh! Aboriginal art!'

[@Archimarathon]

Ahh yes, thanks for bringing that to my attention. I just assumed it's the same artist. I will add that to the description as well.

[@angelaballard3929]

Gorgeous stuff...has turned me on to the idea of wallpaper

[@rev_dude]

another great tour, i love the central space of the new cottage!

[@Archimarathon]

Yes the central space is quite special.

[@ВартанВартанян-з2у]

Amazing house!!! Gorgeous architect!!!👍👍👍

[@kudzaishemakweta211]

Good Job 👏🏻... Thank you for keeping architecture field trips alive amid this pandemic

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks

[@ScottValentine]

Thanks guys, wonderful project

[@Archimarathon]

Cheers

[@alij9254]

Well done!!

[@terrywedam831]

I really enjoy your house tours and the commentary that you include about the design choices.

[@joannanagubadi4107]

I love these two!! Playful and so informative, watching every video!

[@mapout.studio]

Beautiful house! Congrats!

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks.

[@Buildings123]

Great video and fantastic architecture guys. I really enjoyed that. Inspirational.

[@Archimarathon]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@mirakarchitect7945]

Attention to details in design, I love that. Thats what make the architecture more interesting. Comic 🛀 bathroom scene I guess😂😂 Awesome work and presentation ❤🔥💯🙌🏽

[@benni-boop]

I love, so much, watching your videos. So good to watch you walk through and discuss design decisions, intents etc.

[@davidbithell8705]

Great overall concept with some really thoughtful details, I'm always looking for the details you don't mention, this time I spotted those corten (I presume) steel fins protecting the terracotta shingles in the laneway, very neat.

[@Archimarathon]

Yes the bollards. Andrew was going to talk about them, I don’t think it was going to add to the narrative. Glad that you spotted them though.

[@spunkyk77]

Loving these videos guys!

[@Archimarathon]

Enjoy

[@CURAMI]

Nice!! Happy to finally encounter a nice channel about architecture, joining competence and light spirit!! I like the project and its few clear and simple moves.

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks and enjoy.

[@dylanslattery4530]

More of these please, great video format. Very informative. Love the content ❤

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks

[@gabybordino6024]

Amazing! It´s such an interesting project, full of clever details. What impresses me most in a lot of AMA houses is the fact that they have to deal with urban lots and pre-existent buildings, which is always a challenge, and they manage to come out with awesome solutions. I love that, and I know that is not easy at all. The garden/orchard as the heart of the project is lovely, and the use of terracotta is kinda poetic and so connected to the site if we consider the literal meaning of terra cotta.

[@Archimarathon]

I personally find having something to work with such as site constraints and existing much easier (also easier to justify decisions) than a blank slate.

[@gabybordino6024]

​@@Archimarathon I partially agree with that because sometimes limitations act as start kick, but on the other hand, perhaps it means that you have to deal with an inconvenient orientation for example, or restrictions that don`t appear in a huge lot outside the city. Anyway, I´m always grateful because your videos, and the ulterior comments make me think, thanks heaps for that!

[@hellonoko]

Nice guys

[@Archimarathon]

Thanks

[@joelpaluch]

Love this project. Really enjoy seeing the exterior facades blend into the interior as well. In terms of the terracotta ageing how will it age inside. Will it ages the same way or stay the original colour

[@Archimarathon]

Yes they do

[@EdgarTheEagle]

Love the concept! Love that exterior wall cladding!!...it looks like some sort of clay material but what is it?....wish we could design with such a freedom in Miami!!! Damn hurricanes!!! Will blow away your canopies, cladding, flat roofs a pain in the rear if you don't know what you are doing.....oh boy oh boy!...

[@Archimarathon]

It’s called terracotta house because it’s terracotta as explained in the video.

[@EdgarTheEagle]

@@Archimarathon well terracotta is clay master! But I thought that since clay tiles or "Terracota color-style tiles" go typically on sloping roofs and not on vertical walls, I though that maybe that cladding could be a look-alike material. Now I know it is "Terracota" ....as you mention in your title. It will work here for rain but I wonder if this system will have a product approval here in south Florida for 150mph wind loads. I really like it. If it is not much to ask, can you mention the manufacturer? Thanks.

[@murderzoomouse]

Very inspiring work guys :)

[@Archimarathon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@vladislavvelkov5468]

Great way to simultaneously share AMA projects and educate about many of the topics already shown in the channel! I really like the resulted interior spaces (even though they are secondary to the Veggie Garden ;) ) Of topic question- How hard it is to maintain an Aussie architectural practice by predominantly working on projects with that scale? Because here in Eastern Europe is almost impossible to maintain a 'healthy' arch practice and balance the business side as well, without some larger projects... If one spends all the necessary time to create that level of detailing and in-depth exploration. There are many factors involved and it is a market-related question, but still :) Otherwise, keep up the good work !

[@Archimarathon]

That I will let Andrew to answer

[@vladislavvelkov5468]

@@Archimarathon Maybe it will be easier to answer this question- how long it took to develop the Concept Design phase for the Terracotta House? This will indirectly answer the other one as well :)

[@arnasagen8077]

This is my neighborhood! Lucky for you I never heard you when you where in the alleyway filming. I would have come out and picked your brain on about pretty much everything archi. Probably until you got so sick of me that you would have buried me under the tomatoes 😂

[@Archimarathon]

We were in and out quickly. If anything you may have heard the drone

[@clarksonad]

This is extraordinary work. I don't know what the system is like in Australia, but I think where I am that planning permission for a house like this would be hard to come by. Placing multiple structures and dwellings on one plot, making use of old laneways, and optimising sites by pushing the building footprint to the edge of plots rather than the middle, are all important for increasing density and affordability in cities. Unfortunately, this kind of building is not always encouraged. How do you work with planning officers and local authorities to build within code? With this building, for example, is it taxed as two dwellings? How does the legal title work? A video on some of these issues would be really helpful!

[@Archimarathon]

As far as I know, Andrew told me it’s counted as 1 dwelling still somehow.

[@clarksonad]

@@Archimarathon It's good that they have been open minded, it can be a grey area. Perhaps the shared spaces and services help make that case. A house like that is bit comittment to a city and to your family because its nature precludes selling one house easily. The multigenerational courtyard house reminds me of traditional Arab solutions like the riad.

[@MatthewBayard]

This is how all secondary dwellings should be done in Melbourne!

[@Archimarathon]

I have tried to propose similar but most clients freak out about having a separate building

[@ПетроФостик-ж4д]

Pls more review

[@WelcomeToSteph]

Say no to all nighters. Say yes to projects like this one.

[@Archimarathon]

I rushed out the Heide II one last week because the limited time the exhibition was going to be on with the original furniture. We have also lined up the shoot of this house the same day I was releasing that video so yeah, hard work.

[@mikebuhayTV]

woo

[@Archimarathon]

Hoo

[@barockychocky]

Ahh... wattle birds...

[@barockychocky]

... and lorikeets...

[@katrinsanchez8136]

what zoning is this. Where I live it is not permitted to build multiple dwelling units on one lot. Would love to have my parents live with us, but we would have to change to a multiunit zone

[@ChrisBamborough]

Are you telling me Melbournians have central heating!
