I would love to see more projects that incorporate color/vitality/energy and LIFE into their designs. You always feature beautifully executed projects, and often they have the foundation of great landscaping (or mature landscape depending on how long it's been since it was completed) - but the vast majority are tone on tone as far as use of materials are concerned - it's either tons of concrete or tons of beige tones...where are the clients that aren't afraid of color and texture? We NEED THEM to be showcased as well. A home that looks lived in, that has a personality (not garish or cartoonish), is creative, and celebrates vitality is much needed. A home can be on the coast and still have deep, rich colors on the inside - the ocean is FULL of that.
Really loved the roof and the ceilings - that roof profile is beautiful. I also love macrocarpa so great to see it used here. The craftsmanship was obvious. It looks like a deeply calming space indeed. A great example of that pared back minimalism indeed. Although as A B says elsewhere in the comments, I would really like to see a mix of other projects too - ones with colour and in styles other than minimalist.
I love how this timber sloped roof is combined with minimalist interiors! The roof is a sculpture in itself. It's a statement. It makes the place warm, so minimalism doesn't feel sterile there at all. One other comment is a bit more critical: Why is the back of the house, with the entire living space exposed to the street? I mean, I get why you wanted to put big windows there, because that is where you get the harbor views but you get no privacy since the space sits flat on the street level. I would've wanted to raise the living floor a bit, maybe a full floor up. I am not sure if zoning requirements prevented it or maybe costs were too prohibitive, but ideally, you would want to be raised above ground level so you can have better harbor views and yet get some privacy as well. It's especially true, since the house is next to a multi-story apartment building.
It would be good to see it furnished with real people living in it. Right now it looks a bit dull and predictable. Amazing view though (albeit people from the street will also be able to look inside)
@@user-belen2 I wouldn’t use minimalist to describe dull, neither do I like “more going on in my home”. Far from it. But in my view, there is nothing special or surprising about the interior of this house. That doesn’t make it a bad house, I just don’t find it’s interior particularly special. Might also be the video that others have already commented on
Usually love these videos, and this place is certainly something special, but this felt slightly lacking in content. We basically got the same two views of the whole house and the main living space. Many of us find joy in understanding how things fit together and how well space has been used. Concentrating on just once interior space felt like a bit of a let down - in effect it could have been a picture rather than a 5 minute video.
Lol watched this without audio and the product placement was suddenly so obvious. Also, it's great not to hear the usual architect wank-waffle talk. Can just enjoy the design for what it is. Give it a shot.
The house is nice if a little sterile and the architects have done a good job. But agree the architects’ commentary is cringeworthy. “Public space” really?
I think this missed the mark of an inspired minimalist feel. It is a very ordinary looking home with a few ordinary looking furnishings. Looks like people just moved into a slightly renovated home with not enough money to decorate or furnish it properly. It reminds me of some young bachelors first place. Uninspired. Empty isn't the only defining characteristic of minimalist design, they are missing the design element here.

This house reminds me some of the home I saw in Hawaii.. just amazing, clean and well designed! Good job Seear
Minimalist clam is something would striving for but so hard to achieve
love the roof lines they make the building.there never going to get old and tired!
Absolutely gorgeous. Clean, simple, warm and stunning. Well done. I wish I lived somewhere that didnt need an R60 roof! 😄

So calming. Would have liked to see the bedrooms also.
this is so serene, almost feels like AI

Cette maison est reposante pour l'esprit. Elle est superbe en plus. Beau travail

Audio volume is too low.
Agree!
It’s still a struggle to hear them speak over the music for most of their videos.
Love everything otherwise
and music ruined it even more
Environmental Build - Wood is Good !
Just phenomenal
I thought I missed a big lot❤ but the stove ‘thing’ it’s for espresso huh
Audio mix is too quiet.
I love this!
Beautiful! You mention the exterior is a pine cladding. Could you please advise where in NZ it is from? Love it and looking for the same.
Hi Tania, I think the pine cladding used is Vulcan cladding by Abodo. I agree it looks great. 😊
Mausoleum with chairs.
Please include the audio tracks used and add in the description please. Lovely as always!
Hey I think they use epidemic sound for their music if you are curious
Search in TH-cam
Tribu, the art of leisure. Same soundtrack
É perfeição que chamamos?
Super video
It’s lovely but what is the deal with the multi storey commercial apartment next door?
❤❤❤❤❤
Loved almost everything, just missing some wall arts and plants....looks like a 3D concept, no life....
what is the name of the background song ??

It's supposed to be minimalist. Some people want their homes to be calming and minimalism achieves that.

Off topic a bit I just wanna ask what accent is he speaking cause it’s hard for me to catch up without subtitles 🥺🥺🥺
The project is set in Wellington New Zealand. They are both kiwis. This is a New Zealand accent.
So cluttered should have tidied up
Local Project, I love your videos. But this one is hard to listen to as the background music seems louder than the voices.

“Public space” really?
Very dull
The video's audio is too low
Whoever did the audio on this….. please fix and repost.

Incongruent at best.
That's gonna be a no from me dawg.
