An Architects Own Home With An Incredible Internal Courtyard (House Tour)

[@TheLocalProject]

We hope you enjoyed the captivating journey through Casa Piva, a true labour of love and architectural masterpiece by Andrew Piva, Project Architect and Director at B.E. Architecture! The way this home slowly unfolds its unique spaces and experiences is truly something to behold, and it’s all thanks to the thoughtful use of Tuscan Oak.

This home has achieved most modern homes can't... it creates interesting spaces with ease. Like it's not trying too hard. Absolutely brilliant.

[@middler5212]

I’d LOVE to live here. Somehow feels so warm and cozy, in spite being minimalist and austere.

[@simoncaskey1332]

My favourite B.E. ARCHITECTURE home. It feels like a warm hug.

[@iahorvath]

Beautiful home. Quiet and peaceful. I love the honey-coloured oak throughout. It has a mid-century fell to it but then takes off into a simplified version of it. Just beautiful!

[@nikkilogan7726]

Casa Piva is minimalist yet very clean. I love the simple design of this home. Thanks Local Project

[@theupstudioarchitecture]

WOW! That brick is STUNNING!

[@NationalMasonryAustralia]

Thanks! Those are our National Masonry 10.117 Smooth Alabaster - made proudly in Victoria at our Deer Park manufacturing plant.

[@theupstudioarchitecture]

@@NationalMasonryAustralia So beautiful! 😍

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

This kind of incredible home seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living, fostering natural light and a sense of tranquility. It's so peaceful in any corner. 🥰🥰

[@julietphillips1991]

0:10 secs. That right there, in my opinion, is perfection.

[@spektrograf]

This is one of my favorites covered by Local Project. The soft light and shadows that play over the different spaces is so soothing. I appreciate how the design to create privacy within the site context also gives it a peaceful and delightful introspective experience.

[@TheLocalProject]

We're glad to hear you're enjoying our content and that Casa Piva has become a favourite project for you 🙌

[@mindinthesand]

idk how you guys stays so consistent, but thank you and much love from the U.S.

[@danaesquires7571]

I love a lot of the ideas but it's really beige. Beige.

[@AnDuyInterior]

A simple and peaceful dream house. Great tour!

[@jtuck682]

The first thing I noticed was the ingenious way light was brought into the house! I didn't notice any windows on the exterior surfaces, only in the inner court yard,and yet the house has an adequate amount of interior light. You might want to market this design to security conscious clients.

[@olatunjiolakunle6908]

Really love this house, concrete outside and timber on the inside

[@darien33]

Me encanta la elegancia serena y un poco introvertida de esta casa

[@DavidHongMD]

Bring about profound beauty from the materials and the architecture. Splendid and candid.

[@lilpickleio]

This is the sort of perfection i crave for the house is absolutely one of the best i've seen

[@FHH618]

My favourite so far. Stunning

[@pe4262]

What a neat, beautiful white oak house.

[@ZoltanTemesvari_temy]

Masterful handling of light. Very rare nowadays

[@erikleypoldt8275]

Finally an architect that didn't dribble crap endlessly. Enjoyed this one

[@JBOsurf]

Stunning detailing. Astronomical budget no doubt.

[@timcarrington5977]

Courtyard homes are my favourite style! Beautiful finishes. Nicely photographed 7 minute Tim-bah commercial 😉

[@tressinar]

I saved this vid. Going to build a home and steal some ideas. Its so amazing...thought out.

[@mandacreer6096]

What an astonishing home 😍

[@8484lady]

너무 멋져요 흰색과 베이지의 인테리어와 집을 좋아하지만 이것 또한 나의 워너비가 될 것 같다

[@bbernard127]

Stunning design outcome and a beautiful family home ❤

[@christopherwarren4719]

Absolutely impeccable interior design. Very inspiring.

[@haraldnerlich2633]

stunning yet emtpy and cold

[@david100483]

What a great looking home! All it’s missing for the “perfect picture”, is a classic Porsche parked in the brickyard 😉

[@jondutton39]

I love when houses make paneling cool!

[@ruinofspace]

Beautiful project 🔥

[@Tahahahahahahaha]

best one yet imo

[@dtso2]

Beautiful project

[@fragilerovers]

This one right here is inarguably aesthetically stunning 🤩

[@gu5800]

From Japan. Wonderful!!!!

[@fallonemovies]

Awesome Work!

[@ArtFieldsDesign]

Amazing project!

[@CG-99]

Finally an Australian architect that speaks normally not like 99% of the other architects showcased on this channel who speak in an endless series of "architectural cliches".

[@erikleypoldt8275]

Amen. Im so tired of the dribble

[@philcliffe6909]

It's stunning.

[@GeometricMinimalistInteriors]

Amazing! - Love this house!

[@TheLocalProject]

Us too!

[@gasetasierra]

Thank you, Sir!

[@seumateutongsin6362]

Awesome architecture...

[@cars_coffee_carl]

You can tell this home is created by an arcitect without the involvement of a landscape architect 😃 house looks nice, but for me there should be much more vegetation 🙂

[@booooooooooooooooooooooo]

Vegetation is not important to a lot of people. They also require a lot of maintenance and water. Also depends on the climate you live in I suppose

[@mo_0912]

Yeah, I also think it needed more vegetation, I just love to see the grass, lots of trees and plants in a house.

[@kristaroberts1158]

Also a designer. I've never seen such a plain interior of a home. And I like minimalism!!

[@kmw4359]

It looks nice now, but one day those little trees will get bigger. They will have extensive root systems. Those roots might start to lift the foundation because the trees were planted RIGHT next to the house.

[@lesleymcneill1403]

Climate depends on the vegetation too.

[@laurentivoli1183]

Must feel so proud of your home!

[@inesrahane3610]

too proud

[@J3an_j3an]

Wish we could see more of the house and not just the structural aspects. 😊

[@guillaume_Chr]

Love this one 💯

[@rebeccaw9656]

Stunning❤

[@davidparsons3432]

Wow.....very nice indeed...such discipline in the follow through... from the arch/build...its the Architects own home phenomina......no 'pinterest' image to muddy the water Reply

[@ifitistobeitisuptome]

Your car parking area is nicer & BIGGER than my whole house!!

[@aarontaing8795]

1000% my style!!!

[@doktergroen]

Can we see the bird ring light on please?

[@neillan4119]

Awesome work, what's the color of the brick

[@NationalMasonryAustralia]

It's our Alabaster 10.117 Smooth, made locally in Deer Park, Melbourne Australia :)

[@0M0S01A]

I barely could hear what he was saying, the mic was flunctuating. A phenomenal home.

[@arankitgarg]

Beautiful 🙌

[@PrekelezajFamily]

Phenomenal house! What size and type of brick was used?

[@NationalMasonryAustralia]

We're very happy you like them - those are our National Masonry 10.117 Smooth Alabaster - we love 'em too! :) The size is 390mm long x 40mm high x 90mm deep, made of solid concrete locally in Melbourne, Victoria

[@christo560]

Clean.

[@janishani1]

When there's not enough vegetation where I live I easily feel drained and drying out

[@whoami6702]

Hello, @TheLocalProject What is the name of the artist playing the guitar music in the background? This is yet another gorgeous installment on your channel! Thank you!😍

[@andrew4809]

Casa Diva

[@marcusmarscheider9875]

🥰🥰👍👍👍👍welches Material hat der Fußboden in der Küche?????

[@oloidhexasphericon5349]

Its so creepy ! I love it !

[@susananthony2366]

Very striking and elegant, but dare I ask how a family actually lives there? Are there maids quarters in the basement?

[@geraldrhied.villaceran806]

Hello, I got concerns with the video, the sound seems pretty low, despite my max volume or is it just me. I hope the volume would be enhance and fix. Thanks.

[@XTSu-sl1bb]

Nice materials danish brick is a good move. Would like to see plans

[@NationalMasonryAustralia]

Glad you like it! Danish Brick style made right here in Melbourne by us :)

[@artsolutelymark]

interestingly, the birds will change colour from white to grey. due to the dust over time.

[@ivanklymenko]

🤩🤩🤩

[@TheGageAGega]

what the lense use for this video ?? wide, but no distortion

[@sutats]

3:27 Bach: Cello Suite 1.

[@rebeccahenderson7761]

Surprisingly barren house, neighbours have a tree, but only 1 tiny tree in garage area. Lovely wood, but a very empty depressing house.

[@khk5723]

It is indeed a well designed house, no doubt about it: impeccable, clinical minimalist style with attention to minute details similar to John Pawson (check even the way he stacked up his white books in perfect, right angle). It is a singular house for a singular person or people (I wonder if children are allowed). I thoroughly enjoy watching architecture design videos but quite often I ask if it is "embarrassing" to show the reality of how the end users make use and appropriate the space differently from what was envisioned by the architect. I mean, for this particular project it is fully comprehensible since both the end user and the designer are the same but there are a lot of other projects that I have noticed that prior to filming or photographing the interior has been staged and the end users have disappeared.

[@bethereaut6186]

It's lovely, but only a bloke would separate the loo and the basin - you have to open the bathroom door before you can wash your hands!

[@aammssaamm]

First time your video shows a wood work catalog only instead of showing the actual space and layout of the house.

[@Tahahahahahahaha]

How do these architects afford these houses???

[@erikleypoldt8275]

You have to be a director, everyone else cant under that.

[@marktyler2068]

Exhausting.

[@dmf4133]

what is the sqm?

[@reignmankemp]

Nearly all these modern homes suffer from 100 different shades of beige.

[@derekcopeland4967]

Courtyard without green space? No large artwork?🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏼‍♀️

[@inesrahane3610]

la chaleur? où ça ? j'ai trouvé cette maison triste et chichiteuse complexe et sans magie.

[@Anggieisgood]

full of the silence

[@ianhamilton530]

A garage.....

[@dorfone]

Much too cold and stark for my taste. It is minimalist taken to the extreme.

[@wrwosster89076]

Way too much of the oak, just overkill for me

[@outofthefoxootf979]

Lighter wood would've been a better choice. House feels too dark especially if you're calling this a family home where kids will be living in it.

[@william_at]

A botanophobic project.

[@bronwynj5194]

This building is wholly geometric, nothing soft, too much stone, even the tiles look the same. Looks uncomfortable and the courtyards are boring. Hardly any personality 😐

[@rockleesanchez9185]

Se respira soledad en esa casa 👎

[@m.s.3345]

I usually enjoy houses you show us. But if you want to really be genuine, stop using all those grey/beige filters. Yes, it is nicer with filters, but we want to see a real stuff.

[@sammyh2708]

Not a fan of this one - overbearing and moody, can’t imagine smiling much in this place

[@yeshwantramamurthy4815]

Frugal to a fault .

[@Molloy1951]

This accent 🥴

[@MrFinnNielsen]

SHOW MORE … TALK LESS

[@James-uk6hs]

Hmmm, I don't like it

[@6ixConfessions]

I'm not a fan. For me, it comes across as impersonal, unfriendly, devoid of emotion & uninterested. I hate windows I can't see out of, it makes me feel claustrophobic. The courtyward needs tonnes more greenery. The interior feels totally manafactured & absent of character. It feels aloof & comtemptuous toward any joy & warmth.

[@christianemeiners9224]

Wonderful
