    You had me at projector.
    Honestly I bought three last year (one for the home and two for the studio) and it makes watching films a lot more epic! (Also great for backdrops in the studio).
    But overall I think you’ve built the ultimate functional home mate! Such an amazing job 🥳

      Joey had the escape to Mount Fuji series, Connor has Wacky Weekends and Chris promised 'Taken for Granted' in 2022 .....which has yet to happen. I mean the guy just got married to Sydney, so he's busy I guess. Risottoro and Natsuki are regulars. It's always interesting to see the different chemistries Chris has with each person. Would love to see Chris take Dogen on a trip. Wonder what kind of chemistry they'd have? Will the latter constantly correct and shade Chris's Japanese pronunciation while he sulks?

    • @gastonbell108
      @gastonbell108 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      How much is "magic" and how much is "make it fit"? I see all those same techniques used in tiny houses, and for the same reasons. Without the "magic" they'd be literally too small for two humans to feasibly occupy. Dogen's house would be intolerably cramped without the extensive modifications he insisted on.

      One of the best benefits of minimal clutter (or just a minimal amount of things), is that cleaning is much quicker & easier.
      You can live in a cluttered house which is certainly dustier and much harder to keep clean…. Or live minimally and spend a few minutes every day maintaining a pristine environment…. Plus, your space feels MUCH larger without crap everywhere.

It enables the room next to your daughters one to be a guest room and a play room as well. Maybe I think that way because I don't have children and I find cool too that you guys are next to eachother. The architects really did a good job and it's the hidden features (or details) that make the house even more comfy.

As a designer I really appreciate all these touches, and if I were able to work with a designer who specialised in houses (an architect), that would be a dream come true. Truly a dream home you've got yourself.
