Tour a HIDDEN HOME Tucked into a Hillside | Architect Charlie Luxton's family home

- Spotting Charlie Luxton’s home when approaching it from the street is no easy feat. But, as the architect - whose namesake practice specialises in sustainable, site-specific projects - explains, that was all part of the plan. “The star of the show is the landscape,” he says, explaining his decision to “tuck” his house into a gently sloping hillside. We agree - the lush surroundings are lovely - but we think the design of the house is rather remarkable too. Watch our film now to find out why.

"This is a living home." (5:56)
What I love about this property is the blend of design and livability. So many "high-design" homes feel like no one is actually living in them. They tend to be cold. This was warm and purposeful. Love it.
the classic estate agent's diktat "take everything out, it is too personal".
What a great video. Love their approach - no pretentious BS. Beautiful and practical home - a great combination.
The pretentious BS is referring to him as an architect. There is no, it would appear, mention of Charlie on the ARB register. He is not therefore an architect. It’s that simple. Until he registers if Charlie called himself an architect it would be a criminal offence :-)
Thanks John Kellett. Where I am from, architect is not a (what we call) "protected title". Although you can be statelice sed.
@@FilthyFloor, That might be true but the building and The Modern House are British :-) In fact in most 'English' speaking nations only qualified architects are allowed in most cases to carry out that function giving you the customer far more protection. Here in the UK only architects are qualified as architects but anyone, even those without any relevant qualifications are allowed to design buildings. Charlie is not a bad architectural designer (and therefore legally able the design buildings) but unless he gets off his arse and qualifies he can never be, or refer to himself as, an architect :-)
This house is so charming! And what a lovely family!
Lovely house and I really like this presentation. Normally TH-cam videos of modern houses are a bit 'high-art' but this felt like a very lived in place where the architectural features made living sense.
This house is FANTASTIC! So unique but so cozy. Artistically crafted but livable. And such a sense of space and privacy, yet there are houses also around. 🥳
I probably watch thousands of house tours, and this house is one of my favorites.
This is house is exactly the perfect amount of modern and still sooooooo homey. I love it sooo much.
Well done Charlie, haven't seen you on the TV for a while! Great space and thanks for show us around!
what a beautiful house especially the way their blend nature , landscape with architecture. they are such a lovely couple . i can see the way that architect look at his wife with such love with his expression . That is one lucky women living with beautiful home not a house with loving family 😊
Such a lovely home and I noted how lovingly he looked at his wife too. Looks like a very happy home ❤❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this house. I love how Kate's head just sits perfectly above the shelf as she walks across the hallway...........but really - it's a truly beautiful home. I can see how it can breathe and grow with a family. Practical and elegant. The windows are perfectly unfussy. I love the wild flower meadow and the strawberries on the roof.
This is really jolly good. Refreshing to find an architect not obsessed with boring, serious minimalism.
Such a charming home. The landscape and abundance of plants is heaven to me. Lovely family!
I would love to live in a home like this beauty. It is so livable and gorgeous inside and out! ❤
So beautiful. I generally like older houses but this the most lovely new home I have ever seen ❤❤❤
Beautiful home! But I have to admit the way he looks at her when shes talking is so attentive and cute 😭❤
Lovely modest space where everything is considered and all corners are used, that surrounding land too! Lucky kiddies to have such nice space
Charlie Luxton's house is beautiful. It reminds me of the Glass House designs. Love it!
Happy dog sun bathing on a clean porch is all the conviction I need. Beautiful space
Massive YES to longer videos, such as this one, Thanks! M.H...You did it again.
Kate has such a beautiful, melodious voice!
Hi Charlie & Kate, thanks for sharing your gorgeous home! I love your wee tree courtyard, the beautiful materials, lovely light streaming in from your wild meadow garden. What a gem! Very liveable. Lots of love 🥰❤😘
What a quaint and lovely house. Tucked in. Homey. Cosy. And well thought out.
There’s such a cozy home vibe yet modern appeal. ❤
Love the kitchen garden roof! Lovely people and very practical home
Very well done - what a view - especially like the roof/landscape and thoughtful divide of public/private. Also like the closing phrase "a house to live in - take a good kicking and last." #Bravo from USA.
This is one of the best homes I've ever seen ❤
wonderful words and wonderful design!
Perfect house and setting.
Magnifique maison ! Conçue avec beaucoup de gout et d'intelligence ! Bravo
Lovely hosts! The home is beautiful and the landscape is spectacular!
Watched the series Charlie did when he built this house. It's lovely to see how the surrounding landscape has softened the hard edges, it has a lovely lived in feel to it now.
Under what name can I find it. Love this house so much.

Beautiful home! Amazing how it disappears among the wildflowers
Woah, if this is not categorized as perfect house, then I don't know where this will fall. 😍❤
This is beautiful what a lovely home and family 🤎
Beautiful! Wish the best to this family
What a beautiful house😍
magnificent house!
Beautiful home and landscape.
Such a lovely house!!! Cosy and warm!!!
*Beautiful House* 👍
Right on! A living house to handle all family situations.
The house is amazingly inscribed in nature
Awesome! Beautiful place! Thanks for the virtual tour.
Such a beautiful home with such thought through details, is there a floor plan of it?
Loooooooved this❤
That was lovely
Absolutely beautiful. Genuine questions that I bet are on many viewers' minds:
1. Where is this?
2. How much land do they own? That open field out to the office looks infinitely expansive
3. How much did it cost to buy land and build the home?
4. How were they able to afford it all?!?!?
Incredible!
1. Oxfordshire (in the video)
2. A lot, probably inherited
3. I reckon they didn't have to buy the land
4. Lord knows
@@henryleitch thanks! Yea unfathomable as someone who lives in California Bay Area
I've always loved this house - great job !
❤❤❤ My dream home🙏
beautiful!
Lovely house, lovely people.❤
Exceptional home design 🥇
I love this house ❤
Love your house and its concept of honest living. Were embarking on a hillside self build and wondered where you purchased your cladding? I love it.
I don’t really like modern, but I love this.
What a home!
Very cool
How beautifull
Exquisite.
This is listed under my "HOUSES THAT I WANT" listing
For sale you mean?
The border terrier is the piece de resistance!
my dream's house😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Love it!
Love the concrete finished patio, how did you do this Charlie?
Nice
Hi, I was just wondering who the art above your kitchen is by? It is beautiful (so is the house!)
@E4mj thanks so much for watching! The artwork is by Elaine Kazimierczuk: www.elainekazimierczuk.com/
This looks like a lovely home...but sorry Modern House, the editing cuts were just way too fast. You barely got to see each room before it was moved onto another area. Please some more stationary shots would be great. Thanks.
Отличный дом и офис
Can the editor / creator of the video let me know what song that is in the beginning of the video? I really dig it and Shazam didn’t find anything. Thanks!
What breed of doggie is that, he's perfect 😊
OMG what plant is it at 3.10 ?
fab
A dream realized.
What is the flooring made of? I am trying to avoid tiles and don't think you have tiles.
For future viewers, it looks @3:03 like polished sealed concrete; probably an eco version.
Rural house? yes there have been a lot of such buildings. english brick meets ideas (materials, corten) of rcr architects project. this is much warmer from the inside.
Is Charlie Luxton an Architect? Doesn't appear to be on the ARB's register.
Protected title & all that...
All these houses have incredible potential to star in art or horror films 😂
💚
Architectural Digest whooooo???????
Hola me gustaría que su canal incluyese subtítulos en español y los comentaris pudiesen ser traducidos, creo que es la única forma de divulgar una obra arquitectónica. Es curioso que todos los canales sean accesibles para los angloparlantes pero los canales anglo no tengan esas mínimas normas de cortesía como anfitriones.
Ustedes pierden audiencia y yo conocimiento. No me basta con un pueril !!qué bonito ¡¡
Is Charlie an architect now then? No sign of him on the register. He 'dropped out' of the course didn't he, and therefore isn't an architect? Hopefully he did finish the course, he'll benefit a lot.
John, he's middleclass. Life works like that for them.
Seems to be doing OK as an architectural designer and TV presenter, I'm sure it's modern houses mistake in the title not his. Much nicer house than a lot of architects own homes.
@@directresolution , but that’s the problem. He couldn’t be arsed to finish gets get given the title by other who ought to know that he isn’t an architect :-) Is a medical student who hasn’t completed their course a doctor? No!
@@johnkellett7797 You seem very angry about this and if he has said he is an Architect himself then he shouldn't but he hasn't here so complain to Modern House and I'm sure they'll correct it. However there are plenty of none doctors that I would take advice from over doctors (I had to correct a doctor a few years ago as they were going to prescribe something that could have made me go deaf!) and there are lots of builder that I would take advice from over architects. I wouldn't use such dismissive language towards someone (couldn't be arsed) who was in all likelihood doing better than myself. On big commercial projects I would almost certainly want an architect but for single residential I would just be looking at past results (long term results). Experience nearly always beats education, obviously experience+education is best but education is often not formalised qualification.
5:23 he very carefully implies it here. Just sad to not finish the degree but kinda surf on the whole „ being a cool architect“ vibe.
The vertical parts are okay, the horizontal looks like a fast food restaurant. Erase the flowery lovely explanation and you get a C-.
And not a single photo of rooftop...
Solar? Heat pump? All electric? If not, it's not contemporary.
I hope he does not say "dialogue with the surroundings or vernacular"....though his house would need to be made of straw for that to be valid.
Does he have a brother?
That dog looks like a koala!
‘we’ didn’t do anything but design and pay😂
Looks like mosquito heaven!
Eat the rich
We are so cool, you can check out the hard surfaces of our house. So unpretentious right? Our next house will be a bunker. Doors and windows are highly overrated snd classic gross right?
