You’ve Never Seen an Eco Home Like This Cocoon House (House Tour)

[@TheLocalProject]

We hope you enjoyed the journey through the stunning Cocoon House! It was truly inspiring to explore how Nea Studio embraced Scandinavian design principles to create a serene, sustainable retreat. The way this eco home blends natural materials, curves, and light to foster a sense of wellbeing is absolutely captivating.

Of all the local project videos I've watched, the pretentious factor of this one is near the top of the scale. I know that architects sometimes use enigmatic phrases to make a space sound more interesting, but this lady takes the cake.

[@beategeibel66]

Love the invironmental approach and the design. It feels smart, modern yet friendly and cosy.

[@callumharnor7982]

My favourite Local Project house I’ve seen! Nina you did a wonderful job! So peaceful, not too big or loud, a place to retreat and hide away. The glass colours are playful and uplifting. Love the curves and the feeling this space and setting induces. A place heal and seek refugee in this frantic world. Lovely sound and videography 👏. Beautiful 🙏🏻

[@TheLocalProject]

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! We're thrilled this home resonated with you 🙌

[@special_spaces]

There's something almost child-like in this home, almost as if my kid self has seen something playful and fun like it in a dream before. Simply spectacular, truly an emotive building.

[@TheLocalProject]

Thank you for such a beautiful reflection. We love that this home sparks a sense of childlike wonder 🙂

[@janelte]

Even watching the video was soothing and restful. Congratulations on a thoughtful and beautiful work.

[@mindinthesand]

I definitely thought the inside of the colorful hallway was going to be a lot more vibrant, but the colors being washed out makes it so much more inviting

[@_arshak]

Damn, this house is just perfect. Nothing more & nothing less ✨💯

Яка прекрасна будівля . Дійсно оригінальна. Серед гарної природи. Задоволення бачити таку довершену архітектуру.

[@thelalanz73]

Beautiful peaceful home and in a beautiful nature setting. The curves make it for me.

[@TheBosun21]

What a stunning home!

[@MinasSanim]

Loved the colored windows and the shingles 👍👍💯

[@yildirimmutlu908]

i become enlightened when watching prima donna of architecture, thank you for the great production.

[@carlynnandrewsprivate]

I absolutely love it.

[@by.pritchard]

The home's design is interesting and beautiful, especially the unique internal and external massing. The skylights bring to mind the glass panels at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. To me, the drone shot at 3:33 really stands out. As a kid, it would have been a dream to play wiffle ball on that lawn.

[@TheLocalProject]

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Love the connection to the Palais des congrès de Montréal, what a great reference 🙌

[@matiaslopezllausas]

Shaped by the site? I dont get it, the site is huge. Corridors having the best view instead of using that place for the bedrooms. Sorry, but not a good design for me.

[@borisstanar1]

No no, she gets the good view. Screw the children, they can get a small window

[@carlosrobles5591]

Agree, this is garbage.

[@randyrohe]

This one is fantastic!

[@mimialvarez6010]

absolutely beautiful, perfect home. Thank you ❤

[@MalikJasson]

Beautiful home 💯

[@vlg12]

Great work! Congratulations.

[@trevorkelley7485]

I really enjoy these new videos that don’t focus on a brand such as the appliances or hardware. I feel like it distracts from the architecture when 1/3 of the video is basically an advertisement for a brand.

[@thelalanz73]

These brand representations pay for these videos. Otherwise they couldn't afford to produce them. Hiring people to film and edit etc doesn't come cheap.

My PHD Thesis 😂

[@CHKhouri]

Why is that funny? She is also the mother of a cancer survivor..

[@tracymokgopo]

i've seen many houses like this and i'm from south africa. beautiful house nonetheless

[@vnkman4391]

Bit impractical for me, not sure it works. No hallway and straight into a lounge is a big no for funtioality. Main bedroom is very small, don't like the water outside either or the glass tbh but im glad they like it and it ias certainly orignal but totally impractical

[@jochen3068]

Love

[@HumiHuyu-hu-is-ts.Master11]

FAB....🧢👒👍👏👏

[@dearfinesoul]

Ohhhhh the 1% 🥱

[@thelalanz73]

Oh your poor bitter thing.

[@jmk1962]

Loved the house but an not sure about the coloured glass, think it cheapens it to be honest. Just my opinion.

[@tanjagrafin6399]

❤

[@nathaliely1839]

wow

[@oliverlondon5246]

Why? Totally pointless shape. And daring to quote Goethe for this atrocity, really?

[@jolynbranch1211]

It’s her PHD thesis, explains everything.

[@artepjan]

this is not a "small house", maybe small by the measures of big land in the most expensive neighborhood... but hey, it's just a nice vacation home for the rich anyway, who cares

[@domainpark4421]

Hard to know what to make of this. It's pretty underwhelming, and all the pretentious environmental speak of Anker just adds to the absurdity of it. Anker seems comically serious throughout, like she's doing God's work, when in fact she's making a quite mediocre building like it's some descendent stepchild of Goethe. This one is a miss for me. I could do much, much better on such a beautiful property

[@davevelasquez7403]

?

[@smaxfpv1337]

I fully agree, this was hard to watch.

[@cctheone9451]

She believes in her design. I was surprised by your comment 😂

[@mabelmargaret8295]

You sound pretty pretentious yourself.. and as a mother of a cancer survivor myself I can say if I had the money and resources I would absolutely do the same thing and be just as serious.

[@coopergriffithscooper.grif4470]

Couldn't agree more.

[@MAKEPUGUP]

Unfortunatly i dont like this house at all.. so much potential but its cold and not functionnal

[@futurehofer1564]

You know you have brain damage when you read it as "Goon House"

[@andrew4809]

Mother Teresa is commendable

[@carlosrobles5591]

No, Ive never seen an eco home like this, and I wish I never had because this is complete trash.

[@futurehofer1564]

You know you have brain damage when you read it as "Goon house" 💀

[@tiogoala7654]

Interesting that the home is LEED certified, however all that lawn and cutting can lead to CO2 into the environment.

[@haret0n]

pretentious

[@jwt1035]

Get real. This house is ugly and would only be appreciated by architects. To build with beauty and sustainability in mind, build neoclassical architecture using stone walls and a slate shingled roof. Such a building would not only be beautiful, but last even 1000 years. Her “sustainable” building will be torn down by the next owner.

[@theebalz]

Ive seen a lot of houses in this site. This home resonated with me. Robert Downey Jr lives in a round Binishell, and this is similar in shape. Being a huge fan of Monolithic Domes (out of Italy, TX), this home has such connected details for the environment and its inhabitants. I wish I could tour this wonderful space in person.
