Kudos to the designer for having the courage to try a new approach to architecture. The detailing throughout the house is superb-very thoughtful. However, I’ve started to question the practicality of the openings in the living room. In the context of Malaysia, with its super windy heavy rains, it seems inevitable that issues could arise. Although the designer emphasized the practicality of the design, water leakage or seepage could still occur over time-into the ceiling and the walls below. I can't imagine the damage if water gets in and affects the carpets, sofa, TV, AC, etc. Moreover, the large, heavy-moving hinge mechanism is bound to break down eventually unless it’s maintained regularly. That said, it’s still a really cool idea.
Always loved watching these videos and enjoyed them as i loved architecture and design but finally gave up that dream without even starting it because of hardships, but watching Design Seed will help it live in my heart. Thank you for these amazing videos.
Superb . A feast for the soul. The kind of house that heals a person. If there r probs with open sky as some have said then one can easily incorporate collasible ceilings or stretch ceilings . The kind that we have for open cars garages . U get in lovely skylike and clear retarctable ceilings . No way. I 'd just add that as a feature in case needed. Else the way this house is designed is perfect. A designer's dream. 👌 A retd interior designer from Mumbai
This video is truly inspiring! I admire how the architect was able to create such a unique and functional space by expanding the original house structure. The use of glass walls and sliding doors creates a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor areas, and the two-story loft is a stunning feature. I also appreciate the attention to detail in the design, from the hidden vanity to the spiral staircase. This is definitely a home I would love to live in

Any context-sensitive designer would NEVER design a house in all-white. A full-white colour scheme may look stunning when the house is still new but within a matter of few years, the exteriors especially the ledges around the house will start to be covered in fungi given our climate. Also, white colour is super susceptible to discolouration and aging regardless of how good the paint or material you pay for. The owner will start to see his ceiling fans and air-con indoor units turn yellow sooner than the interior walls within a couple of years and because the house is predominantly in white, any parts that change colour will make the entire house very unpleasant to the eyes. This is not sour comment, but a piece of advice based on facts and experience from someone having made the same mistake before. Unless the owner does not mind to keep pumping in $$$ to maintain it...
How much of the total cost of this house renovation included furniture? I will much appreciated if Design Seed can mentioned of the cost spend by the owner at the end of every video.
Is This Location Safe?, Can you really have a good sleep at night ? , Feel like this house lack of security. plus too much sliding door, Just Hope this is not owner idea, If this house for showcase definitely No Problem, But for long term own stay is a bit challenge, this is just my point of view.
Please allow me to share some of my comments as an amateur armchair architect. No offence to DS or the featured architect. For me, this overly open concept looks good but is not practical as it will see a lot of dust and requires constant cleaning. Those massive C doors with the control sticks are damn ugly. it may be more acceptable if they are motorized but they are still ugly. I like rooftop deck idea a lot but this one needs more fencing in case some kid or senior person climbs up and then slips and play superman. That single panel window above the wardrobe to let the light looks very odd, again I would improve it by using a 3 panel window to let more light in. Wider staircase at the bottom - pretty useless if you think in terms of practicality. Build some hidden storage instead.

Lolz the " heavy-hinge mechanism" part makes me worry

This house is magnificent. Great architecture. They have a big yard maybe adding a pool would be the crown jewl of the house.

What a great plot to make your dreams come true.
Like the design especially the opening roof. A little too clinical for me but each to their own.
Beautiful house
Imagine if this house was built on the hills in South Island New Zealand. The views when the sky dome opens up.
good design..
It's an art. 👍
Happy Malaysia Day Alex and all
Any tips on how the owner clean & maintain the dome roof? We might get to learn a thing or 2 from this

There is no rain in Malaysia?
Hello ❤
To coldd 🥶
Sudden rain. Hello? 😵
When it’s cloudy and about to rain, just leave it closed
The door has to be 100% water proof, I wonder how is it done…
House BREAK-INs are common in this neighborhood = you will need a double-gated and guarded house in Malaysia as it is a crime haven.

Its like opening new kimball ketchup lid

Where are the Roman pillars?
the house looks unfinished ????
For design ok..for stay i dont feel cozy..bet it has echoes when talking
Mosquitoes, sparrows, crows
Not in that neighbourhood, crows populate in the dirty areas. I used to live in Bangsar, so I know
Don't forget the spiders.
And sour grapes
ABU just sour cause he may never live in a house like this. Keep crying....
