The houses on this channel are so much more beautiful than those $50 million mansion is on Beverly Hills

[@furorentonori5838]

But how much cost the houses of this channel ?

[@ayudan24688]

@Furorento Nori still not cheap around 3M - 10M, this particular one is probably 5,6M

[@ChefNourhan]

@@ayudan24688 5M isn’t bad for this building at all

[@user-km2ko9xk1y]

100%

[@davidalanmedia]

I don’t even begin to understand how there are so many spectacular homes in Australia. I’m always surprised and delighted when you find and magically capture a new one. Well done! Incredible renovation!

[@StyleViewStudio]

I thought about that too… And since Australia is a very small country they’re about I don’t know 25 million people and there’s plenty of space I presume people really cherish their homes and they hire architects more readily than the mass produced home it’s in the United States many people called “architecture” which is far from the truth

[@brigettercw]

So, I'm not the only one trying to figure this out! LOL. I want to travel to Australia just to see these home forget anything else! LOL

[@Lukavichiano]

Hey guys, Aussie here who lives in Melbourne. We have so many beautiful homes. We also have mass produced homes in housing estates. There's also terribly rundown homes and poorer areas. We have it all here. But yes, we do have a LOT of beautiful homes and great design.

[@johnnyonline]

I live in the south east suburbs of Melbourne and I'm equally stunned. These masterpieces are hidden in plain sight. You'd never even know this was here if you walked past it.

[@davidlu7245]

@@Lukavichiano mate compared to what place like America has… even our poorer areas are heavenly in comparison

[@dennischiapello3879]

This might be my very favorite house of those I've seen in this series. Besides the wonderful garden court, what I like is that its minimalism isn't cold, but tranquil and inviting. The wine cellar and bar is a luxe element I could do without, but it's beautifully designed.

[@isabellewhite3505]

I agree. This is one of my favourites. Absolutely fantastically chic!!

[@TanjaRohn]

Agreed. It’s my favourite!

[@catherinekurian5681]

Minimalism isn't cold, but more so...cool.

[@pixoul2237]

I absolutely agree. A lot of the other homes rely on concrete for minimalism, while claiming "sustainability" and connectivity to nature (laughable). This, however, is truly great and lives up to its claims.

[@jenniferconsiglio7143]

There are so many unique and creative aspects of this home. With its curves and textures, it depicts beauty and grace. The courtyard was an added bonus. It created peace and tranquility. I can only imagine the amount of gratitude that the homeowner must feel on a day to day basis. It's certainly a job well done!

[@ximonwhhatt3796]

More sustainable houses please, the idea of their design is beautiful. This is by far one of my favorite house video from you guys

[@jimmymurray6082]

Omg. This could honestly be the best one yet.

[@torysetliff]

Wow. Every space is it's own seperate experience.

[@MarsHouseDesign]

Hands down one of the most beautiful homes I've seen here. Always been a fan of simplicity. Way better than the other mega houses. 😍

[@askvor]

All I can say is just "WOW". I love those courtyards, a tranquil space for yourself in the middle of a city. This is a very beautiful project! Soft touches, nothing screams at you, truly a place to unwind and relax.

[@mwmentor]

Wow! This home is awesome! The contrast between old and new, the glass bridge, the central court yard, the layout and integration of outdoor/indoor experience... the build materials. It is just amazing. And I guess, not cheap! Lovely spot and it inspires me to expand my thinking about the spot where I live.. 🙂

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

I immediately noticed the way they deter predators from the goldfish pond was an underwater grate that the fish can swim through… That’s brilliant!

[@LaSorciereFeuillue]

Spending my twenties crashing with friends renting dark & dingy terrace houses ... how inspiring to see them being re-imagined so elegantly yet also warm and homey. Refreshing to see money and style co-existing; finally!

[@relighg]

I absolutely love that lionfish design wall sculpture

[@SukottoX]

That cellar is so amazing! Completely caught me by surprise

[@fluffer4049]

Stunning top to bottom, inside and out. Truly a visual gift.

[@lungcell]

This might be the only architect's video I've ever seen where they did not use the word "space". Maybe not even once? I hear it so often that it's kind of grating and feels impotent in describing anything accurately, but architects in other videos use it every few moments. Play any video and give it a try. It was refreshing to listen to someone not use it for once, and they created an absolutely gorgeous home.

[@chrlkm3669]

I love when rich clients and skilled architects come together to create something like this beautiful home!

[@justsubbingtochannellsilik9760]

Seen this home featured on KZbin some time ago, that being said with your cinematography and editing this house looks totally different (in a good way). You can feel the moodiness and calmness this house provides. Again thanks for the video.

[@kayelyward8714]

It's a beautiful fusion of the traditional home with the renovated addition. The inner courtyard is beautiful and brings light to the central portion of the home as does the elevated walkway. The home seems quite serene. It's really beautiful. I love the continued use of Arches in the addition. The arched hallway in the traditional home is such as striking feature the use of arched windows and doorways in the renovated addition is beautiful. Beautiful home.

[@kahlagerard2021]

Absolutely stunning. I could live here in a heartbeat.

[@Stickybutton]

Controlled quirkiness. Beautiful and non predictable design. Really refreshing to watch.

[@felixtannenbaum]

i love the surprise and humour that are in this house. quite refreshing.

[@janishani1]

Being interviewed (in my imagination): - Who's your favourite Architect? - The Australian ones, all those featured in The Local Project, specifically this one. Good God, you guys, your skills and creativity are so soo sooo up there 🤩👌🏽✨

[@ideatorx]

This is my dream home, I mean literally, It feels like I manifested the house in this video, its what I've always dreamed of building for my family. insane.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

Whether you go in or out, this home boasts numerous distinctive features, making it exceptionally valuable. 💖💖

[@raysville7256]

The inner courtyard oasis is remarkable as are the many transitional elements.

[@hooooliee90]

This channel has had some spectacular spaces, but this one is my favorite! The indoor/outdoor approach, the inner courtyard/pond, the clean lines, and the design features--just absolutely stunning.

[@dothe729]

This house is just amazingly designed and built to incorporate Fitzroy's unique characteristics and reflect Melbourne's modern feel. Which builder executed this artful project so well?

[@nishinkareem6251]

Truly warm, textural and inviting. I loved everything about this house - the glass bridge, the skylights, the courtyards, the retreat, …. the list goes on and on.

[@christianemeiners9224]

A delight to watch; must be amazing to live in this property and enjoy its architecture.

[@nickcarter5569]

Ohhhhhhn! I love this channel so damn much. Words don’t even begin to do it justice 🙏

[@TheLocalProject]

[@chrisvonwuerttemberg]

Der Weinkeller ist der Knaller

[@moonbeeps]

They have REALLY good taste. That bathroom was so tasteful, love it.

[@linedezainde]

I love this channel! It is very inspiring and useful, even for a person like me who is not an architect and can't afford any of these homes, because the architects discuss, not only the space, but the philosophy behind each project, which is a great way to tackle any project, big or small. It helps to think outside of the box. Thanks!

[@Simphome]

It is surprisingly good in every aspect of the house. Makes me want to take a cup of tea. so relaxing!

[@mesovogue]

Beautiful combination of traditional and a little bit of futuristic elements

[@nikkilogan7726]

This architectural home is next level! What stands out for this home is the high level glass aisle. Really love the combination of the old & new designs. Thsnks Local Project

[@sheilae.535]

every detail screams elegance! beautiful house indeed.

[@stevenkeller3047]

What a wonderful home. One of my favorites on TLP. I could just move right into that space. Great job Matt...and clients.

[@tinamtliu]

Wow! Sublime. How much time, thought, effort and of course money would have been invested into a project like this I wonder... the detail and design is pure art. A joy to watch!

[@manmadeit]

What an incredible home design. Love the fact that it's a heritage house and able to transform into such an amazing work of design. Love the transition between styles...!!! ♥

[@samansalar1213]

Wow, just wow, amazing job 👏🏻 🙌 👌🏻 😍

[@jaderoulade9792]

Each video is meticulously well planned, narrated and videographed. It is always a pleasure to go through these houses which have a unique vision put into them. I have learnt a lot from you all.

[@ahlamamr4659]

Everytime I watch a video on this channel I say it’s my favorite project but this also definitely one if my favorites 😅

[@mohammadfahmidhasan]

It's spectacular! I wish we could get at least an approximate cost of building these homes.

[@ximonwhhatt3796]

Probably 2-5 million

[@melindadouglas1673]

What a gorgeous home! It appears that money was no object in the renovation of this home and the end result is amazing. I love the blend between indoors/outdoors. Well done!

[@iluvharper]

This is definitely my favourite home you've featured so far! Left a mark in my heart. This home is a masterpiece. Absolutely stunning.

[@antonsitepu]

so stunning and yet homely... I can see myself living in those space... Love it....

[@slothsarecool]

Brilliant use of space, I love the transition between inside and out, and the way the light plays with it all is beautiful

I LOVE this home. Really beautiful and thoughtful design. Materiality notices are spot on. I want it!

[@jindiyou]

So tasteful and sophisticated and yet cozy. This one is the pinnacle of this channel’s quality

[@StardustMonkey]

So strange to hear him say maximizing the northern sun exposure… I am from the other side of the rock and and am so accustomed to people talking about southern sun exposure! :)

[@vonnykintore]

this is possibly the nicest home i've seen....really inspiring!

[@shekelafarmer8306]

It's the real true beauty of nature about person's to make beautiful, to make comfortable and or to make helpful.↗👌

[@hussainalyami2283]

WOW Breathtaking design ♥️

[@andreafoti6634]

wow-absolutely magical. I only wish the video was longer...I didn't want it to end

[@apuvaam]

It’s just amazing

[@sohilronagh286]

Truly an elegent and beautifuly executed design of spaces, Timeless!

[@dogcounter]

Absolutely stunning design that is both inviting and artistic. I love seeing homes in this neighborhood that are forced to meld the older original street facing parts with modern design. It forces them to come up with such creative combinations of design language.

[@MorningStrategy]

shout out to the video editor for the transition at 2:00 - nice

[@brigettercw]

With my height issues, the glass bridge and walls are beautiful, but freak me out :) The use of wood, and landscaping is spectacular. The automatic door to the cellar and the wood peg wine holders are very cool. Nice segue from the original Victorian to the modern extension. Another winner!

[@nicolakestel-lifestyleceo4040]

What an absolutely stunning and serene home 🖤 a credit to everyone involved

I do not love dark living rooms, about the rest of the house, it's just mesmerizing, really cozy and familiar

[@dennis-rwb9989]

that hidden cellar is really impressive.

[@charmainec2870]

So so beautiful.

[@bernicevanwinkle1769]

WOW! STANDING OVATION!!!!!!!!!

[@chickadddee]

Ooooooh, this is yummy! I love having one or two dark rooms to balance incredible modern but soft light rooms. And the feeling of being outside, yet protected. Checks all the boxes for me! ♥

[@mettamia2008]

This one is so beautiful.

Notes: **V nice interior covered space @**0:17**... **0:45** and **2:01**** maybe restrained use of glass stairs *****0:53** vv nice, but for what? coffee area? move into hallway is hot; the reverse side to thsi @**2:34** is sublime also*** like hte outcuts along the sides of the walkway @2:21, but how's this work in terms of privacy? no to back area wood features *3:15** office space is actually well tucked in and quiet for that purpose... see also inlaid lighting* **potential setup for outside common area @**3:24**: rocks leading to something and chair setup right by it** could do a view like the 3:40 one in a 2-story unit I like 4:22, but I don't know what I like about it; *also the next shot is elegant... adjacent to a stairway? (**4:27**)* like the parlor thing frmo 4:59, but not sure what to do with it *well-designed bathroom @**5:12**: the flooring, no to the far wall; I do like the wood/black contrast on the L and the R wall is vvg... nah on the tub.... **5:17**: the sink apparently has marble w/ the wood/black combination, which is new to me and nice* cool hallway from 5:20... can combine w/ other Local Project ideas? ******5:23** is not a cellar; that's a high-level common area / hallway design****

[@sasaniranmanesh5736]
