How Minimalism Created a Calm and Warm Interior with a Connection to the Garden

[@janelte]

That's the sexiest thing by far in Ballarat. I live in the next town and the cheap, unsustainable development spreading in all directions is so disappointing. This is a delight, and one I wish we could all afford. Congratulations to the architect, builders, and lucky homeowners.

Beautiful - I also enjoy the attitude of the architect, he is so enthusiastic about the house. When I watch these type of videos some of the architect don't look like they would enjoy living in the house they designed. Another great video :)

Rotation driveway to exit foward - enough said 👌🏻

The interior reminds me of traditional Japanese interiors. Shoji style walls, sliding doors, interior colors. A modern version of my mother's home in Tokyo 80 plus years ago.

He explains his design that lay people can follow along. Very beautiful design. I loved his approach to this project

Love the minimalist new extension and the materials used. Wonderful architecture. I would definitely like a house designed along the same principles.

[@marisasm]

I absolutely love the extension. This type of high roof always transforms the interior space for the better. The beams are gorgeous as the interior design.❤

[@SimpleDwelling]

It’s so beautifully detailed and well-thought out.

The extension is my kind of dream house: a melt tribute of mid century and minimalism. Thanks.

[@antonsitepu]

stunning... I can see myself living in those space😍👌👏

[@MrElbee92]

Brilliant.

[@millaJ]

Easily one of my favorite houses you have covered. Keep up the good work.

[@SimpleDwelling]

Same here, so much to love.

This is such a nice colour palette - calm and neutral, but not too plain. 2:52 this roof is soooo sexy, i can't come up with a better word 😅😆

[@peterwalsh3901]

Amazing design

[@SimpleDwelling]

Isn't it?!

[@mickfbr]

Absolutely fantastic, love it.

[@AlexTankivgorode]

Super home !

I'm guessing that Versiclad (or equivalent) was used for the roof panels - but does this deliver enough insulation value (including the large amount of glazing too)? The max thickness Versiclad is 150mm with an R-value of 3.8.

[@bruceclement]

Beautiful. I'd love to see the detail of how you eliminated thermal bridging in the structural steel.

[@reitsmaassociates]

Really Nice ! ❤

[@nateisright]

The beam-glass roof is beautiful but it definitely isn’t Simple!

In a place with 0 snow, how do you determine that a winter is longer than 3 months? 😅🤔

[@andreid.9105]

what is the coldest that it can get in that area?

[@janelte]

Our mean annual temperature is 12.3 degrees celcius. It can feel like winter from March to November, and be grey and dinghy for months. It's often below 10 degrees celcius at night and can go below zero, especially in spring with clear nights and frost. There is usually snow at least once a year. That said, it can be in the mid to high 30s in summer.

[@andreid.9105]

@@janelte you just described the perfect weather for me then :)) I live in Romania and fun fact: we are in April and lows are 10 12 eith highs of 28. This means you don t need either heating or AC in these conditions if your house is well insolated. My concern with these houses is how do you heat them in winter time - but this means you don’t have real winter so then you get these beautifull designs.

[@janelte]

I think they said in the video that this was passive design but that is rare here - it’s a huge problem that homes in Australia are built for developers’ profit and are poorly sited, poorly insulated, unsealed, and reliant upon heating in winter and air conditioning in summer. Standards in Europe are much higher. This house seems to be an exception and it is only the wealthy with good architects who build to these standards.

[@adoyer04]

its an trzesniewski restaurant color scheme layout.

[@lunaroseh322]

Lighting was the main topic, but ironically, the house seemed too dark. Plywood looks cheap, and lots of the metal will be surely too cold to touch all the time in a cold climate. It looks pretty, but yeah nah, not cozy to live in in winter in my opinion.
