Your changes take the house from "good to great." Your thinking on the changes keeps this from looking like any "new construction" build, to being something special. I look forward to seeing what happens with the rest of the house.
Keep up the great work Brent. The uniformity of the original design contributed to a slightly stale appearance. Your changes add welcome character and intrigue which brings life to the design
You’ve taken it from builder/architect blah to fabulous. Love how you explain exactly why you make changes and how it creates a building narrative. Please do continue these each week. I learn so much from every one. The original design was just computer copying and pasting standard elements that lack all the historical architecture that you have added.
Definitely makes a big difference! I like how your design not only makes the door appear stronger. But it also manages to soften the overall appearance of the entire face of that side.
These series are an amazing juxtaposition to the typical Build show videos that talk about cutting edge products and building science. Just like your designs bring a story and history to these homes, likewise, your videos bring superb storytelling of historical craftsmanship to the Build show team. Keep up the great work Brent!
I’m always amazed at how the changes help the look, balance, and style of the house. It didn’t seem bad but boy does it look better with your suggestions. Great work!
Love that you made the columns more substantial and eliminated so much wall to wall glass. I read somewhere thar too much glass gives the impression that there is not enough visual strength to give a sense of support. Also, as an interior designer, I find that the long expanses of glass make it difficult to place furniture so that the room looks balanced. Very nice improvement. I love your work/videos.
If you end up doing the back elevation for the clients, please upload that too! You touched on carrying over that same treatment, but I would enjoy seeing it anyway. If you're able to sum up the client's feedback in a future video that would be interesting to hear as well.
Great videos- These have helped concrete my recent decision to apply to study architecture. As far as I can find, nobody with this level of knowledge is sharing it this way. Many thanks.
Ok, but go to a school that appreciates classical design. Some of these modern schools will not train you properly. Notre Dame is a good start. Good luck.
I enjoy seeing your proposals. I like the variety of your videos. Occasional job walks, traditional hardware, town tours and design sessions maintain my interest 👌
Another terrific video. This one much subtler than the others I've seen. It's so nice to hear you speak about why you make the changes you make: the reasoning behind them. Really nice for me. I just look at a place and think it's not quite right, but can't put my finger on it. I'll often try to draw out corrections or improvements, but I'm just playing around because I don't quite know why... they just look right to me. Kinda envious of your education LOL, and of course your abilities. These videos really make me think. Thanks again!
Love the fixes. I would love to see videos of interior fixes too! Can millwork and the right decor save a 1990's / 2000's average sized house with no soul on the inside or is newer architecture hopeless?
Well done! Thanks Brent !!! I have used wood/cedar shingles on gable ends but not roofs. My area: low wildfire danger, used history pre 1920's. Have shied away from shakes/shingles. How I ask why?
Are you kidding me?! If I want technical information I listen to your podcast, I follow your TH-cam channel specifically FOR the design details and inspiration. It is dead easy to look at a modern facade and know that something is "off" it is far, far more difficult to diagnose the problem and fix it. I have "Get Your House Right," by Marianne Cusato (enormously helpful) and the entire "Not so Big House" collection by Sarah Susanka, also helpful. But nothing is as helpful as watching you work out what is wrong and provide ideas for fixing the problem. Seeing your design process is enormously helpful. Please keep it up!
Hi Brent. I’m a stay at home mom that dabbles in wood working and furniture restoration. What are some things I can do to fix up the exterior and interior of my boring 1979 ranch style house that I’m stuck with for now. I thought of an eyebrow or cedar shingles above garage door. It’s really a terrible new house with no character. Im in love with craftsman houses but I don’t wanna waste money decorating with moldings/etc. for a different style house.
Yes, that is the challenge. I feel your pain. In my 62 bad ranch house, I have upgraded moldings but not done much outside except landscaping. Save your money for the better next house.
Should I remove the chimney from my 1938 minimal traditional compact cottage? It would create more floor space, improve energy efficiency, and eliminate a spot that may potentially leak, but it makes my heart hurt. Do you ever remove chimneys yourself?
I would love to see how you’d recommend folks adapt or modify their houses in the Suburbs built in the 70s and 80s. They’re all cookie cutter boring homes. How can we tweak or modify them to show our passion for design but with more modest means?
Maybe its ridiculous, but our home is a lower end midwest single story 1950s house and id be amazed at seeing what it was historically "going for" and how it could be improved.
I thought the house look pretty good but your changes made a vast improvement. I think you might have a talent for design. How about giving some ideas on how to improve ugly little ranch houses inside and out.
I'm an M.Arch student and I wish that "architect" was not a regulated term. You should be allowed to call yourself a builder-architect if you want. Or they at least should break it out to sub-categories like "residential architect".
I love these episodes! I could watch hours of these. Brent is so brilliant.
Nice. Thank you.
Me too!
Keep these episodes coming.
Will do! Thanks.

Cool. Thanks.
LOVE this series! Please stick with them!
WIll do. Thank you.
How do I get MY house to look this good?!!! Sign me up.

I've said it before, but I love these "fixing" videos. Please continue to make them!

Speaking to my design sense, which is great, because I don’t speak the language! Thank you!
Nice, thanks.
I really like the design videos. It gives another dimension to just building and fabricating.
Thanks!
Lots of great tips, Brent!
Glad it was helpful!

@@BrentHull Nice one. Thanks again
I really enjoy these design videos. Thanks, and please continue making them.
Thanks, will do!
Very fun. It would be nice to do a follow on video in a couple years when this house is built. :)
Great idea! Thanks.
I absolutely love these design series videos. Thanks Brett!!
Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this video. I really appreciate your insights on how the details can make or break the overall feel of the building.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Love these videos......almost as much as trash talking bad designs
haha Thanks.
I'm enjoying them. Going to steal, uh, borrow your ideas.
Haha. Please do.
Love these videos.
Thanks for the feedback.
I love this series 🎉

Yes, the functional chimneys of that period we often remove. I'm assuming a small 2x2 chimney. Good luck.
What tool is used to create those mock-ups? Or what kind of professional can I hire to create them?
Hm, just tracing paper and pen and ink. If I understand your question.
Palimpsest = layers of history.
THanks.

@@BrentHull just found your video on design of homes 1945 to 1969. I will check that out and see if it gives me some guidance
