Architect Designs a House Using Sustainable Materials (House Tour)
ฝัง

- Using a boundary-blurring materiality, an architect designs a house that accommodates the clients’ lifestyle and expresses commitment towards the neighbourhood environment. A house tour of West Bend House - the built outcome created by architecture firm MRTN Architects and Brave New Eco interior designers - gives insight into the carefully considered details of the sustainable home.
Located in the Melbourne suburb of Westgarth, West Bend House emerges from a design brief that requested a sense of privacy for each member of the five-person household, encapsulated within a coherent and consistent interior design narrative. Responding to the brief, the architect designs a house reflecting the spatial configuration of a village - the different rooms are separated by changes in level, subtly referencing the variations found in natural terrain, but joined by a central communal space and connective passages.
When an architect designs a house, sustainability is keenly considered in acknowledgement of environmental context. The approach to West Bend House by MRTN Architects and Brave New Eco interior design studio testifies to this maxim, with both the architecture and interior design reflecting an eco-conscious influence. High-performance windows enable the home to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, whilst brick and concrete flooring provides the house with thermal mass and large solar panels on the roof offer access to renewable energy.
Internally, the architect designs a house that reinforces the notion of a village-like sustainable home. MRTN Architects and Brave New Eco use materiality to seamlessly the integrate interior and exterior spaces, as internal brick flooring pays homage to the surrounding built environment. Materiality is also used to mark the individual character of each space, granting every room a sense of privacy through a distinct material palette and ceiling treatment.
Mirroring the clarity of the brief, the architect designs a house that, by the means of materiality and spatial planning, clearly answers the needs of the clients and the environmental context.

Architects in Australia seem to be killing it when it comes to residential design.
indeed. best of the world. I guess it's also because of loose building laws and regulations
This was one of the best i've seen, it felt sooo livable
I love how the architects were sensitive to how the house reads from the street and how it sits in the garden.
Nice to see a project that innovates on the relationship between plan and programme, rather than just fit and finish.
I love the character that's in this building, despite its infancy. Very tastefully executed.
Beautiful timeless house. I love the use of natural materials and the fact that it's not just another sterile white box. Very homely.
Will keep saying it until I see it but where are the floor plans?
Without them viewers have no clue as to the layout or how the house flows.
Australian contemporary domestic architecture is really on another level!
Oh dear, this house took my breath away.
Loved this! really liked the street facade - and i especially liked the use of materials to connect inside and out. Once again - great feature!
The farmhouse table and vintage chairs with the teal are lovely.
I rarely love the interior as much but this place is fabulous!!😍
This project represents all the core values of Australia Architecture. Ps chonky kitten stole all the scenes 🤣
Great use of topography! It's just amazing to see how with a simple palette and great use of material solutions you end up with these distintive atmospheres which segregate the space but mantain the sense of unity through the whole house.
Front yard looks modern and still adapts to the surrounding homes. Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Love the materiality in this one.
This is what we call a perfect architecture!
I like the idea of a central communal space, with privacy rooms available elsewhere. Lovely music too. Thoughtful architect.
Love the idea of an inclusive sustainable architecture. Brilliant design!
Love the millwork and the gorgeous tiles in the bathroom!
This house looks very easy to clean. Particularly the floors. For this reason alone, I declare this to be the best home ever featured on this channel. On this, there can be no debate.
ha ha.. being a maid i also think of cleaning functionality ;0 actually in bathroom they used raised sinks and curbless surface which is not the most comfortable to clean.
Amazing home in an amazing setting! Another classic from The Local Project
Love the mix of modern materials and retro 70's-ish feel of this home,
Wow, this is stunning! Absolutely an amazing job done with the all the materials as well as simply putting it together.
Extremely well done!
Absolutely stunning finishes and colour palettes, just wow! ❤
beautiful, i'd never get bored here
Beautiful home. It's slender design is nestled well among the plants on the property.
Beautiful, cosy home. Just lovely.
Beautifully decorated and designed. So simple, so zen.
So well done - Antony! The home is sensational and this video narrative of your design philosophy is truly inspiring.
Magnifique et plein d’esprit. 👏
Me encanta la calidez de los materiales y el color. La evolución de los espacios para crear lugares llenos de encanto.
Simple yet elegant.....
FABULOUS❤️
Looks amazing!!! 😍😍😍 you have a client in the next 5 years!
Estou amando este canal. Projetos maravilhosos!

Beautiful! Are the bench tops in the bathrooms zinc?
Very beautiful design. Can someone tell me why almost in every video there are solar panels but not thermovoltaic systems?
😍😍😘😘
How they deal with the flys
how do you expect me to go on living in normal spaces after watching all your videos?
💯
What a beautifully furnished shipping container
😭
Using "some" sustainable materials -/ lots of unsustainable materials throughout this home. Beautiful nevertheless.
I found my dram home!
Ok this is my favorite I wanna move in will they adopt me
🤞🏿
Stairs, stairs, stairs
A beautiful house, with some interesting concepts. My only complaint is all the level changes. Steps in a house are always dangerous and cause many falls. I’ve lived in a house with numerous level changes and people fell regularly.
Especially considering that this masterpiece of conceptual/narrative design was planned with the needs of a family that is evolving and aging at that very place. I suspect that both the elderly and young children could face some difficulties because of it. But it’s a beautifully crafted house, though.
I think it helps to weed out people you don’t want in your house. The elderly, children, and people who can’t use steps
@@DavidRamseyIII Yes exactly lol.
I thought concrete is enjoy considered a sustainable material because of the amount of energy required to make it, plus greenhouse gases that it produces. It’s also difficult to dispose of. Other than it being a durable product with a long life, I don’t understand why it keeps popping up as a ‘sustainable’ material. Am I missing something?
Some interesting exterior sacrifices made in lieu of function and practicality. ie water drainage and stained finishes .
The windows are already suffering from water damage due to improper design.
@@jamesmoore1532 lookin trendy, only lasts till the end of a youtube video 🤫
fuck OUR DREAM HOMEEE
It’s a bit much with a lot going on. I like the outdoor space.
Too many level changes makes the house not so friendly for aging in place or handicap accessibility. Of course, not every house needs to accommodate those conditions.
Meh
Very Nice!
