We hope you all enjoyed the incredible Court House by Archier in Yackandandah, Victoria! The architects’ commitment to sustainability and the integration of the garden into the heart of the home truly make Court House a masterpiece.

How amazing to get up in the morning to sparkling clean floors under-foot because of the completely flat floor required to run a robot vacuum and/or mop every night while you sleep… No step-up or step-down or sunken architectural features that are a pain, let alone not being disability friendly. This is one of the very few architecturally designed homes shown on this channel with function in mind over form for the occupants - living in it, cleaning it, maintaining it with the latest tech. I also just love the light, spacious feel of this home. LOVE IT.
OMG! Chris Gilbert! Without doubt one of the most important Architects currently working in the World. Yor 'mews' houses in the passageway in Melbourne are incredible and standard setting. This property is on another level! Stunning and superbly designed. And with the environment put at the centre. Literally. What a family home! For generations to come. The garden and the courtyard. This property will only get better as the years pass by. Setting new standards in every sense. This has to be one of the best homes featured on the channel. On repeat. Chris, every continued success! Thank you for bringing this home to the LP channel.
I like how the house wraps around that internal courtyard and provides views of nature. I also like the color palette of soft timber and black columns and light fixtures. It works really well for that mid-century inspired look
love how you can transform a square plot/house in such a beauty! like GENIUS having an internal courtyard that provides space between every room and makes it spacious but also brings in nature
Love this one!! And thank you for working in some efficiency details. So many of the homes featured on this channel are beautiful but obviously horrible with energy efficiency.
This house is nice. I love courtyard design houses with atriums. The only thing that in the courtyard area instead of plants and flowers I would have tiled it and put tables and chairs to give it a restaurant vibe with some nice plants and perhaps a bar in a corner. Nice anyway. Everyone has there own taste .
Beautiful house. Similar design to how traditional Korean and Japanese homes were designed with internal gardens and the living space wrapped around it
What a lovely home and down-to-earth architect. And so refreshing to hear a designer narrate plainly without academic architect-speak. I hope to never hear the word "materiality" again.
You people and your attempts to out do each other in worshiping the earth through “sustainability “ is almost as humorous as it is preposterous; imbecilic as It is incoherent; and as anti human as it is tone deaf to the privations suffered by the 3rd world and the politics and pollution produced by those same places. Please, keep your religion of “sustainability “ to yourselves - and s hu t up
While like all these videos, the camera work is very nice. But please show a floor plan so we can actually get an idea of how the rooms work together and how the house flows.
Sorry, but the production quality of the Local Project AUS/NZ Videos is SO much better than the US version - calm, personal, friendly, appealing… the US videos are so fast and try to be more dramatic.
I really didn't like the fact that the taps were running in the video. It's a a waste of water and contradicts the "commitment to sustainability" on your channel. Please be more mindful in future.
Would have been better to include a floor plan. The idea of a courtyard works in some climates. Here it has clearly resulted in spaces that are corridors AND inefficient use of resources. The most efficient shape is a square. A central courtyard is up there with the most inefficient uses of materials and when you consider the spaces are corridors …. We see light from two sides and you are unlikely to notice the dark ceilings because the spaces are so thin. Fine to talk about efficiency but when most of the house is glazing and concrete for corridors then …

This is my kind of house. Wood, glass and open plan. Love this.

Any houses with inner courtyard gets my vote!!
I like how the house wraps around that internal courtyard and provides views of nature. I also like the color palette of soft timber and black columns and light fixtures. It works really well for that mid-century inspired look
Oh shut up, you'll never get the analogy 🦖
This is almost exactly how I would design a house: A house with a green-space in the middle to ensure that there is light and greenery in every room
Understated yet so elegant in its simplicity. I love what you’ve done, inspirational.
love how you can transform a square plot/house in such a beauty! like GENIUS having an internal courtyard that provides space between every room and makes it spacious but also brings in nature
Always loved courtyard design. very nice to see it actually applied👍
Ok, I am officially jealous. Love this design.
I would place this house in Napa Valley and easily be a happy man. Job Well Done.
You have created an amazing home!
I really enjoyed the nature of his hometown. thank you.
Lovely home with plenty of light and exposure.
Another amazing house by Chris Gilbert!
I love this design so much . I really want courtyard for myself
Beautiful house - I wanted to see more of the bedrooms and what the bedrooms look out onto. And more of the bathrooms as well.
These houses are beautiful.
I asked for a quote once and they are not cheap!
If you can afford it I say, go for it!
Love this one!! And thank you for working in some efficiency details. So many of the homes featured on this channel are beautiful but obviously horrible with energy efficiency.
Wonderful!
Stunning house ❤
Glad you like it!
🤩👌🏽✨ project! Truly pleasant and breathable, simply 🔝notch!
Xcellent project
What a beautiful home!!!! 😻😻😻😻
It really is!
Love the layout of the design! Really lovely.
I love courtyards design
Beautiful.

Just perfect project for me! ❤
Nice. Very nice!
Omg! Perfect 💗
that great videos ! i love it

the shape and disposition reminds me of traditionnal Japanese houses
I'm moving in!
This is amazing!
superb! But nothing livens up a backyard like a few chickens!
beautifully shot video, wonderful project....but why do you have to have the taps running? I don't get it.
Great design, though the running sink water footages are unnecessary especially because of the sustainability theme
❤
It turned out great, but still waiting for progressive projects to embrace bird-safe glass.
Love the old Hills hoist.
🥰🥰🥰
It’s hard to look past the choice to keep the water taps running for a shot when talking about being sustainable. Beautiful house though
My immediate thought too. Bizarre choice!
YES. It was also hard for me to register any of the words being said while running taps were in view. Make it stop!
Drip drop drip drop wasting water gotta stop
Oh dear.. just desperate to criticise 🙄

Can anyone here put a rough cost on this?
very different to the house done for your brother
While like all these videos, the camera work is very nice. But please show a floor plan so we can actually get an idea of how the rooms work together and how the house flows.
I find the big windows very disturbing because they are fragile and extremely expensive.
Do architects have a more economic and robust solution ??
Concrete Masonry Units are not fragile and cheap. Now, you can be less disturbed?
Sorry, but the production quality of the Local Project AUS/NZ Videos is SO much better than the US version - calm, personal, friendly, appealing…
the US videos are so fast and try to be more dramatic.
Gorgeous house. The sound quality however, is appalling. 🤦🏻♂️

My god! Turn off the water!! 🫨

I could never live in a country where every sentence sounds like a question. Not with this attitude at least.
