The reality of this glass house is that everyone would be terrified to live here during the night. I mean, imagine late night, you hear a small sound outside. Is it a stalker? A wild animal? A murderer? Slender man? Fear would be multiplied thousands of times
@@notaheretic6675 exactly, and the echo my GOD. It’s different if you only hear a single sound, but hearing it constantly? I mean imagine, 3 am, late night glass of water, and you hear a sound somewhere in the house, and it goes on for a few seconds. Maybe a loud bang, something hit the floor, but it sounds like multiple things. Imagine footsteps. 3 am and you’re tired, your own footsteps would echo, 2 footsteps for every 1, makes it sound like someone is in your house walking around
As a designer, this is a bizarre and carefully considered building for sociopaths. The insulation wouldn’t be enough to keep the house efficiently heated or cooled- I’m praying the concrete flooring would be properly heated. And the lack of character in the property shows this benefits a week staycation rental, rather than a tangible space for a person to full time live in. The home does its best to invite nature into the indoor landscape but the sheer size of the interior makes it feel uneasy, and deafeningly silent- with materials that offer energy, and busyness. Overall- the fundamental concern is that this is not a home for a normal person to live in longer than a month.
Great analysis on that first home. I'm not a designer or architect, but my first impressions are that the big open empty spaces and all the windows could only appeal to people who want everyone else to see and hear them whether we want to or not, and perhaps to people who want to see and hear everyone in the building whether they want to be seen or heard or not... a "home" of some sort built for an exhibitionist or narcissist or paranoid control-freak, surely. The video commentary's remark that the bathroom looks like something out of a prison is remarkably on target, and I found the bedroom with a double-bed facing what looks like a child's or guest's bed unsettling as well. There is no intimacy or privacy in that place, it's a place where everyone watches and can be watched by each other at all times. A house with no respect for boundaries... it's weird and creepy to me. "A building for sociopaths" sounds about right on target to me! The other buildings are not quite as psychologically disturbing to me in that way, but there's still something weird and "off" about most of them. The running theme is (to my eye) one of exceedingly bad taste and discomfort. The weirdest things to me, other than the architectural aesthetics of awkward "minimalism" and "modernism" broken into random heaps and heaps of heaps of angles and styles, was the one mansion loaded with weird paintings and murals of profoundly depressed-looking (poor?) people (reminds me of those homes decorated with paintings of miserable-looking crying clowns - who does that???), and that home with all the ankle-high furniture (was it a mansion built for claustrophobic gnomes???) A couple of the places looked like places you might rent for a weekend business retreat or small convention (complete with meeting rooms full of chairs and couches for dozens of people to watch presentations or listen to speeches, but not much life otherwise), or like fancy vacation rental cabins, but not much like homes. The one home with the weird entrance built on a highly polished walkway looked like something that was obviously intended to impress and intimidate visitors, rather than welcome them. All very weird. Overall, there were a couple things in there I actually liked - there was one small kitchen that looked fine to me except for its lack of windows - but mostly these were places I couldn't call "home" in any way. If I had 24 million dollars to spend on building a home, this is NOT what I would spend it on, but maybe that's why I don't have 24 million dollars to spend: I don't think or live like multi-millionaires do. Thank heavens!
@@pietrayday9915 appreciate the input on this! Take some time to invest in studying history of modern architecture (1900-present) and you’ll see a lot of factors play a role of physiological nature within the planning process of these properties. Material is a very key element in minimalism and standard “modernism”, so considering looking at both homes and what elements come out- the visual inertia it inflicts on the viewer and of course how it makes YOU feel is important. In some way, I’d say if the architects on both these homes were aiming for what Charlie, and I assume all of us here would think- they nailed it. But all in the weirdest ways.
That glass house literally just looks like an empty warehouse or car dealership on the inside. It's amazing how rich people will pay top dollar for something that actually is just a lazy empty space.
regardless of the golf course, consider the HUGE HOUSE that will probably only house one or two people for 3 months yearly that they had to buzz down trees for. And they DARE call it eco-friendly. smh.
don't forget the very eco friendly plastic golf balls that get thrown in the ocean, they're such a tasty treat for fish, especially once they degrade to delicious microplastics, and all of that delectable fertilizer runoff
And just think of what it costs to light and hat those mausoleums and monstrosities.... "Eco-friendly" my arse: these things are exercises in conspicuous consumption of energy, water, money, time, labor, and other resources. I'm not tiny-house guy or environmentalist, but these "houses" are in no way represent a modest, frugal, or conservative lifestyle, and they certainly aren't "eco-friendly". These are monuments to wealth and the luxury of being able to waste more of it than anyone else.
It's not even just that. The thing with these "eco friendly" gettups is just how much space age tech and materials it uses. Like bro, not only did you cut down the forest in another country, but you strip mined the ground under it (child labor involvment varries) all just to convince yourself you're doing more good than harm.
@@shiranui498 Lifecycle-assesment shows that for most concrete constructions of this size, especially considering the span of those ceilings, the CO2 emissions of production outweighs the energy it takes to heat or cool the building. Even if heating or cooling wasn't needed, the damage is allready done..
I will never understand why people who build these big houses always have the worst kitchen possible. Even if you don't use it, just go ham and make a restaurant style kitchen in your home, it will look cool as hell.
right? the way he said "its surrounded by the same forest that's been kept natural for the last thousands of years" was ironic and chilling. yeah, the same forest contractors had to buzz down for this very mansion!!
Oh boi. Thats the thing that caused the least amount of damage. The most damaged were caused by the INSANE amount of co2 that all that conreate released
as a guy that spent almost 15 years cleaning windows i can tell you, you dont want to live in that house made of glass surounded by nothing than trees.
Well to be fair, if I was that rich then hiring a full-time dedicated window cleaner is probably something that's not even close to putting a dent into my income
Calling a house "eco friendly" and showing all these solar panels before immediately cutting to how this is a "golfer's paradise" shows that they have no idea what "environmentally friendly" actually means
@@ahmedazeez9253 Curtains were the first because things I looked for. Look again, much of the downstairs area doesn't even have a set up for curtain rings yet. Look at the bathroom then the downstairs ... You could install them yourself sure but then ... That also defeats the purpose of the glass walls and is a lot of extra work for how much you're paying. Like you'd expect motorized curtains or something. Also looking at the kitchen, that place wasn't designed to be lived in, that's just a summer home.
the eco friendly house is so funny, “we believe in being eco friendly so we destroyed a bunch of wooded areas that wildlife lived and thrived in so that we could build a massive unnecessary house and golf course that only ppl who dump oil and don’t care about the environment could afford”
„Oh yeah, and we used an amount of concrete and cement which could usually house maybe five or six families to accommodate one family which probably uses it as their summer home.“
@@hugonottmayr i rlly don’t know what their line of thought and reason was for this house, it’s just so ironic and stupid, truly only something a stupidly rich person could come up with
It's just an asset, they buy it to store wealth since money loses value with time, but houses don't, so when they need money, they sell it, or use it as collateral for a loan.
Not necessary over lands but all the expensive craps they’re putting inside probably have more carbon footprints than 1,000 people would spend in their lifetime.
You sound like the typical Twitter user tho Lots of people who care about the environment can afford it, for example actors, musicians, producers, directors, eco-lifestyle CEO's, etc
to the first bathroom's credit, the shower/toilet positioning is perfect for the severe food poisoning you get from eating something that went bad because you couldn't fit it in the world's tiniest fridge
Those cavernous rooms would be a nightmare to heat properly, too. The more I see these places, the more I think "what would I want with that?" It all looks so uncomfortable and unfriendly. It doesn't look like somewhere a person could really live.
I don’t mind having a sharp modern look, only problem I have is when they over exaggerate it with “expensive material” and long ass hallways. And these houses say it all
Because the people that own these properties don't stay in them long and usually have people that cook and clean for them. Think about it, they are busy and move a lot, at least a lot of them.
alr im gonna have about a million kids trying to dox me and mentally destroy me after hearing me say this but -- i kinda like the house aesthetically. its just an opinion dont be a twitter kid
@@dwighttanielu7000 ikr, like you can do literally anything else in this world, but no, you need to make a bot that would convince nobody else but 10yos
That's uh usually what the original person who commissioned the house did, then they got bored of the and it's a regular old rich person mansion that nobody wants to buy
That "minimalist" house was anything but minimalism lmao I think they were looking for the word "modern." A minimalist house would be like a few rooms with basic necessities and neutral colors...
concepts like minimalism have been co-opted and commodified into products that you need to buy into and actively maintain, to just appear like you are leading a minimal lifestyle, instead of it being something you already are capable of if you readjusted and cut down on your existing space and habits that might not be essential.
Modernist architects be like: Oh, nobody likes my grey/white cube? Well, beauty is completely subjective. They must have destroyed all the ugly buildings in the past. My architecture is more conceptual anyway. They're probably racists.
...what? A large footprint isn't neccessarily not eco-friendly. Do people fucking realize they actually have to say something? We can't read your mind. WHAT IS YOUR POINT.
bruh, it's not even the building after construction that pollutes the most but the construct process itself lmfao. love how property developers take that out and greenwash this crap.
Ngl, the glass house is terrifying. At night, those windows become one-way mirrors. You're surrounded by a black void as harsh white led spots glare down at you... Real 'abducted by aliens and thrown into an observational room' vibe.
@@alextait8255 news flash, even the government spies on you (near me they fly spy planes tracking everyone's location and storing everywhere you've been for long periods of time, and this is in the US, without a warrant. I'm only going to refer to public examples (specifically I'm referring to the Baltimore Spy planes if you'd like to look up the court papers where the only thing the court found wrong was police using that data without a warrant, but nothing about spying to begin with). You can't tell me with a straight face that a person that rich would have no enemies or paparazzi or government interests.
@sotuur aeei Well, if I'm going to pay a bazillion dollars to live in a countryside that could pass for the woods around Camp Crystal Lake, then I expect the house to match.

Give me West Mansion from the Splatterhouse games, complete with animated deer heads that vomit blood and laugh maniacally at me while I'm trying to cook dinner or take a shit! >:)
As a paranoid and anxiety ridden person, I would have a heart attack if I had to live in this house. Having to sleep every night with 2 of your 4 walls completely open to the outside would be absolutely terrifying.
@@synexiasaturnds727yearsago7 And how are guns going to help you when you're asleep? What, are you gonna install an AI-controlled turret in the ceiling?
@@mynewaccount Id rather sleep in NYC than sleep in these shitty houses. Like bruh, your death ain’t going to be peaceful in these types of homes far away from civilization. You gonna get your ass Michael Myers.
Only a psychopath could stand living in a house with all glass walls the second it got dark out. I get paranoid sitting next to the glass door in my house at night but this? I’d be in a living nightmare
The entire gimmick of the house seems meant to appeal to people that like camping and the outdoors and stuff. Yes, if it was a house next to road the glass thing would be weird as hell, but in the middle of a woody area it's not really an issue.
"What exactly makes this house eco-friendly?" You see, for ever dollar you spend on it, 0.0001 cents will be donated to a charity that fights climate change by telling poor people to buy 'organic' food.
I was thinking the same. People think slapping a few solar panels on their roof makes them eco friendly. Meanwhile you have a golf course that requires a ton of water. 🤦🏻♀️
@@chaoticoverdrive27 A ton of water **and** pesticides, fungicides, toxic fertilizer and no doubt gas powered mowing equipment. Golf courses are insanely toxic places for how common they are.
@@alexrogers777 and ofc the ecological impact of having a giant lap of ground with absolutely *no* benefit and ALL the same plants. It fucks with everything around it.
@@kody1654 After a tornado hit my neighborhood back in like 2011 and the shingles got absoutely ripped off, just getting a metal roof was far cheaper and honestly its held up really well still.

I would never live in a glass house because then I’d have to finally kick my crippling stone throwing addiction and I’m frankly not ready to confront those demons.
An "eco-friendly mansion" is a self-contradiction lol. Oh yeah lol, it's definitely eco-friendly to expend those kind of resources for the construction and all the fuel burned doing it etc. to build a giant private residence for one rich buyer lol. Also these ones in the middle of nowhere. They aren't producing their own food and stuff lol. That's that much further for food and stuff to be shipped to their remote mansion lol.
4:10 the worst thing by far about this bathroom is the design of the shower. A walk-in with no sort of hand rails or other supports on _glossy_ tiles? Wet feet on glossy tiles is a huge slip hazard, somebody's 100% gonna get hurt in that bathroom.
The showerhead to the right is the perfect distance from the toilet to split your skull open when you slip. Also, that glass better be quite strong as well considering the possibility of slipping.
With "eco-friendly" apparently meaning "there are solar panels on the roof that can't even power the garage door and we put some shitty plants in one or two places, what more could you want?"
@@lateral1385 If we take that logic and stretch it to its extreme then a hamster wheel could power the entire Earth, provided the battery used to store that energy is capable enough. Does that mean that a hamster wheel can actually power the entire Earth? No, as it would have to run for a very long time for any meaningful result. Same here: I doubt those solar panels are powerful enough for the garage door without using batteries to get around it.
@@turborooster8548 The style of life they live is distasteful. If they really cared for our planet, they would live in a house within their needs. The materials and land usage are not justified by a couple heat pumps and a green roof. I think, its distasteful.
@D-Ron Jamarkus Robinson I don't understand the relevance of your opinion? I mean, Obamas home is absurd in scale, though, that was not the point you were trying to make now, was it?
This is why you should hire architects, and not designers for those fucking houses. At least they can make something that looks better and that is ACTUALLY functional. Guy spent 7M on a house and couldn't even hire a real architect
Problem is, Architects just want to make a name for themselves by designing something different and spectacular. They have no concern about how difficult it is to live in, Jeez, half the jobs I've worked on that were Architect designed had so many design issues that just hadn't been thought about or wouldn't work properly, even down to stairs being impossible to build correctly. Architects are a waste of space......
yeah plus imagine how cold it'll get in the winter with that much open space (plus they never seem to have curtains so nothing keeping the little warmth you have in). although im going to assume cold doesn't exist where these houses are
I can honestly live with the loneliness and the feeling this place evokes, I kind of like it even though I know I'm not in the majority, but glass everywhere? With no way to hide? Absolutely not. All it would take is a tornado passing through and your interior is screwed.
I’ve been inside the second house twice, I was hired to clean the whole thing as well as sanitize it with a backpack sprayer during Covid. It was incredible. Kings Point, Long Island. It is very surprising that they did not show the indoor pool room. Oh and I got to see those bedrooms, pretty cool but not that special. A couple nice upstairs bathrooms though, a lot of annoying glass to wipe down. Also the upstairs walkways pass over the main living room and you have to lean over the side just to clean them, pretty scary. They also filmed part of the equalizer movie with Denzel Washington there.
first one feels like the architect heard the saying "don't throw stones from glass houses, ' thought it didn't make sense because glass houses don't exist, and decided to remedy that
The "furniture for ants" is all about appearances: 1) they take up less vertical space, so they make the room they're in look larger by appearing to have a higher ceiling; 2) they block less of the background, so in a shot like 11:03 you can see well into the other rooms. Notice I didn't say anything about comfort....
@@princessjello I like low profile furnitures, but only for certain uses. I snag have a low prof table but I still have a normal table and everything else isn’t low profile either.
If you’re built along odd lines (Aka, me), then relatively low profiles can be more comfortable - I struggle to type at adult-sized desks and can’t really use a lot of chairs (or the headrest in the car, had to figure out how to remove when riding as a passenger) because the headrests push my head/neck into quickly-painful angles because I have a short torso. I use a folding table and folding chair as my personal workstation, lol. However, there are hard limits to everything, and chairs should be wide enough and at least mid-back enough to be comfortable, and the sleeping bag couch looks like a torture device, unless *maybe* I was lying down. Sitting, though? Nope. Plus, that bedroom looked awfully cramped, too narrow for the width of the bed and also waaaay too much window for a bedroom.
I just love how the guy in the second house is like "do you see this art?".... and then, instead of saying something like it was made by this artist I really like or just something about it, he just drops the price tag :D
the artist was either actually a talentless dweeb who where naively disheartened that all their hard work was only credited by the price tag or knew exactly this was going to happen and maybe even expected it because they purposely did an ugly as sin soulless art piece just to pander to rich folks to pay their bills. I know, i'm an artist. Its almost always the same ol' stories.
2:14 sound treatment is literally a maths problem. No doubt the designer had a sound specialists involved in core designs of the home. Lots of hard surfaces means you need the right mix of absorption and diffusion. But major sound disrupters have to be placed perfectly. Especially to cover the far reaching corner of the house. You don’t need soft surfaces everywhere. You simply diffuse sound in a clever path to ultimately removes most of the energy before it can get back your ear jn another part of the house. I do this in different capacities for large showrooms for Motorsports. A house is easier bc as someone said you fill the house which certainly does help the rest of the way
I want to see a version of this show where, instead of touring stupid rich people homes, we tour completely random, average US citizen homes. I feel like that would be far more interesting to see, both from a design aspect with how people decorate their homes and from a relatability aspect.
That would be pretty good actually, though people may not want others to see their houses because of privacy and all that... Regardless, great idea, don't know if it'd actually work
@ImperiumRomanum exactly. you host parties at these houses, they aren't made to live in for long term, it's fucking disgusting if you asked me.. ya know, millions that are homeless..
I work in London and my job takes me to a lot of expensive houses. The old ones are always so much better than the modern ones in my opinion. If I had millions I’d definitely preferred an old mansion like something Victorian. Much more sophisticated.
Me too. I hate the look of most modern buildings. They look so lifeless and uninviting. I would feel miserable living in these garbage houses. I'd rather live in an 80's house and drive an old car before I even thought about getting those stupid supercars. The people who live in these also feel so soulless. These houses will literally suck the life and happiness out of me every time I watch these videos.

Its giving that one millionare from Ex Machina, like the next person that buys the glass house is gonna find a rogue AI in the basement and the body of the last owner with it
With the house being made of glass and there being forest that completely surrounds it, I could never sleep. I'd constantly be on edge and thinking that someone's out there lurking in the woods.
The glass mansion is like a stalker's wet dream. Like, imagine getting stalked by some perverted maniac and any time you try hide somewhere you just can't. Just cringe.
Realtor: So, what are you looking for in a mansion? Some Crazy Rich Guy: I want my neighbors to see me taking a shit. Realtor: Alright, it looks like there's 5 properties available to choose from.
I laughed when they were panning over the roof while talking about how environmentally friendly it is, then ended the shot with a guy hitting plastic balls into the ocean lolol
I firmly feel that what makes these houses so empty feeling isn't necessarily the lack of furniture, but the lack of character. Like, if they had normal things that make these rooms feel like actual bedrooms and not offices, it would feel less empty. Maybe a tiny bit of mess, or a few cool posters and normal, non-body sized windows. But that's just me. I'd love to live in one of those places! Not the glass house though.
There is no such thing as an eco-friendly mansion. They are not complementary in the slightest. Using massively more materials an developing more land does not help the environment lol. "Yes, I would also like my clean carbon Hummer."
Though with an all electric Hummer under gmc now existing, it’s not even affordable to buy (priced 80-100k) plus very suspicious coming from GM being favored a lot lately about being first to become carbon neutral.
3:12 when i first moved to japan i had to buy my own fridge. it was just about that same size but standing, did not have a freezer, and my wife and i had to share it. i can confirm, a fridge that small is a nightmare
When I see these houses I just think "Do the millionaires that buy them also hire 30 people to keep it clean?" Like NO WAY you're going to have a single person clean ALL OF THAT, you need a legion, and by that point your fancy-pants mansion is full of strangers constantly

Imagine going to the kitchen without any footwear in the winter and having your bare feet touch the ultracold concrete floor. That's not a mansion that's a mental asylum.
"it's so nice to see a house that's concosious of its impact" cuts to panning shot showing the concrete mansion and its massive lawn that's gonna take a lot of water to keep green in California. Certified Bruh moment
The fact they mention the price of everything in the second house, really speaks as to what kind of people they are... They just want everything to be status symbols rather than just something they like
If I had a lot of money to spend on a house, I’d make it as practical and comfortable as possible. You know, the things you would want in a home that are hard to get in a budget place like a cheap apartment. My first thought is actually being able to have a normal temperature in the house - something that probably isn’t possible with all that glass and open space. It must be a nightmare to try to cool that thing down inside when the hot sun is shining through every wall, or to warm it up when literally everything is made of cold stone and glass.
i know right, I was thinking it's a shame the kitchens in all these houses are so small, a nice big kitchen would be the first thing I would want in a fancy house
0:56 "the way this land has been for hundreds of years!!" *pans to artificial forest with literally no plants/brush/literally anything in the understory beyond lawn grass*

* slaps 1 billion solar panels on the roof but makes the other parts of the house bad for the enviroment and the inside is also bad too * look at my beautifull eco house 😊😊😊😊
Not only is that glass house a wet dream for thieves to rob or a person very much into Voyeurism to live in but imagine how cold it must probably feel like in the winter because as far as I could see, I saw no heating appliances in that house unless it's in the roof or something.
Eco-freindly house... with a golf course. You know how wasteful golf courses are? They're like lawns times a hundred, they guzzle water, guzzle gas, and you don't even get anything out of it cause golf fucking sucks.
It really defeats the purpose of calling a mansion or home “environmentally conscious” when often times they take up a ridiculous amount of space that isn’t necessary, use expensive building materials that likely harmed the environment to produce, and (because of how big that are) produce a ridiculous amount of waste in the end. Literally going completely against the definition of being “environmentally conscious,” I’m exhausted.
If I had that much money, I’d rather restore a dilapidated or a diamond-in-the-rough old mansion. For one, I prefer older styles of houses, and while it would need some new materials and the disposal of waste material, I’d argue it’s most environmentally friendly to just work on a mansion that already exists.
@@jay-d8g3v don't even think I'd do that, just live like a normal person but without ever having to worry money wise...spend it all on extravagant shit and it'll just run out eventually, unless you're like top 100 richest people ever rich I suppose, even then I dunno...just doesn't really appeal to me

The bathroom in that first house is infuriating to me because I've just begun studying interior design and one of the first things they teach you is that marble is porous. As in: it's going to absorb water. Why the FUCK would you put it in a bathroom?
This is a weird comment because the marble is, obviously, never raw. It ALWAYS has sealant on top of it, the same way wood floors have varnish on top of them. My kitchen counter is marble. I bought the marble raw. And had it sealed. It surrounds my sink. It's not absorbing anything.
By the way, I agree with the spirit of your comment, in that the house and it's planning and materials are ass backwards. Someone brought up it would be good for parties..... But like..... It would be impossible to heat or cool. And why would you want drunk or high people surrounded by glass everything????
The thing that always baffles me about these "eco friendly" gettups is just how much space age tech and materials it uses. Like bro, not only did you cut down the forest, but you strip mined the ground under it and yet say it has no impact on the environment.
“So in respect to their privacy, we won’t be showing their bedrooms.” Roughly Translated: The owners left a ton of sex toys and other kinky shit in their bedroom/dungeon and forgot to put them away

Great analysis on that first home. I'm not a designer or architect, but my first impressions are that the big open empty spaces and all the windows could only appeal to people who want everyone else to see and hear them whether we want to or not, and perhaps to people who want to see and hear everyone in the building whether they want to be seen or heard or not... a "home" of some sort built for an exhibitionist or narcissist or paranoid control-freak, surely. The video commentary's remark that the bathroom looks like something out of a prison is remarkably on target, and I found the bedroom with a double-bed facing what looks like a child's or guest's bed unsettling as well. There is no intimacy or privacy in that place, it's a place where everyone watches and can be watched by each other at all times. A house with no respect for boundaries... it's weird and creepy to me. "A building for sociopaths" sounds about right on target to me!
The other buildings are not quite as psychologically disturbing to me in that way, but there's still something weird and "off" about most of them. The running theme is (to my eye) one of exceedingly bad taste and discomfort. The weirdest things to me, other than the architectural aesthetics of awkward "minimalism" and "modernism" broken into random heaps and heaps of heaps of angles and styles, was the one mansion loaded with weird paintings and murals of profoundly depressed-looking (poor?) people (reminds me of those homes decorated with paintings of miserable-looking crying clowns - who does that???), and that home with all the ankle-high furniture (was it a mansion built for claustrophobic gnomes???) A couple of the places looked like places you might rent for a weekend business retreat or small convention (complete with meeting rooms full of chairs and couches for dozens of people to watch presentations or listen to speeches, but not much life otherwise), or like fancy vacation rental cabins, but not much like homes. The one home with the weird entrance built on a highly polished walkway looked like something that was obviously intended to impress and intimidate visitors, rather than welcome them. All very weird.
Overall, there were a couple things in there I actually liked - there was one small kitchen that looked fine to me except for its lack of windows - but mostly these were places I couldn't call "home" in any way. If I had 24 million dollars to spend on building a home, this is NOT what I would spend it on, but maybe that's why I don't have 24 million dollars to spend: I don't think or live like multi-millionaires do. Thank heavens!
@@pietrayday9915 appreciate the input on this! Take some time to invest in studying history of modern architecture (1900-present) and you’ll see a lot of factors play a role of physiological nature within the planning process of these properties. Material is a very key element in minimalism and standard “modernism”, so considering looking at both homes and what elements come out- the visual inertia it inflicts on the viewer and of course how it makes YOU feel is important. In some way, I’d say if the architects on both these homes were aiming for what Charlie, and I assume all of us here would think- they nailed it. But all in the weirdest ways.
That glass house literally just looks like an empty warehouse or car dealership on the inside. It's amazing how rich people will pay top dollar for something that actually is just a lazy empty space.

"Eco--friendly house"
...with a private helicopter. And a golf court that they probably had to cut down a forest to make. And god knows what else.
regardless of the golf course, consider the HUGE HOUSE that will probably only house one or two people for 3 months yearly that they had to buzz down trees for. And they DARE call it eco-friendly. smh.
The stupid thing with “eco friendly” mansions is that they basically say yeah but that doesn’t count and then dump oil into the sea for fun
the chopper is just decoration, that roof is too small and lacks other required stuff to be a true helipad
And the amount of concrete alone probably emitted 20x CO2e that a normal home would have.
don't forget the very eco friendly plastic golf balls that get thrown in the ocean, they're such a tasty treat for fish, especially once they degrade to delicious microplastics, and all of that delectable fertilizer runoff
These $10 million mansions are just as practical as the diamond block houses I made in minecraft when I was a kid

And just think of what it costs to light and hat those mausoleums and monstrosities.... "Eco-friendly" my arse: these things are exercises in conspicuous consumption of energy, water, money, time, labor, and other resources.
I'm not tiny-house guy or environmentalist, but these "houses" are in no way represent a modest, frugal, or conservative lifestyle, and they certainly aren't "eco-friendly". These are monuments to wealth and the luxury of being able to waste more of it than anyone else.
Just the construction materials alone dwarf the environmental impact of any normal sized house.
@@thedrumguy2350 not to mention trying to provide ac to such a huge space
It's not even just that. The thing with these "eco friendly" gettups is just how much space age tech and materials it uses.

@@shiranui498 Lifecycle-assesment
shows that for most concrete constructions of this size, especially considering the span of those ceilings, the CO2 emissions of production outweighs the energy it takes to heat or cool the building. Even if heating or cooling wasn't needed, the damage is allready done..
I will never understand why people who build these big houses always have the worst kitchen possible. Even if you don't use it, just go ham and make a restaurant style kitchen in your home, it will look cool as hell.
If anything it makes it unusable for your private chef. Even if you don’t use it, it should still be functional.
Ngl , my house kitchen look way better than this and it not much expensive . Your have like MILLION OF DOLLAR BRO WHY THE FOCK MAN , look like shite

They had to cut the kitchen budget to get that marble
fr man fuckin 25million dollars and you get a dorm kitchen
Imagine how much land had to be deforested in order to build that golf course for the “eco-friendly” mansion
Yeah or how much water it takes every day, continuously.
golf courses are also notoriously the opposite of eco friendly
right? the way he said "its surrounded by the same forest that's been kept natural for the last thousands of years" was ironic and chilling. yeah, the same forest contractors had to buzz down for this very mansion!!
Oh boi. Thats the thing that caused the least amount of damage.
The most damaged were caused by the INSANE amount of co2 that all that conreate released
All golf courses put together take up 0.001% of all forested land

Look again, much of the downstairs area doesn't even have a set up for curtain rings yet.
Look at the bathroom then the downstairs ... You could install them yourself sure but then ... That also defeats the purpose of the glass walls and is a lot of extra work for how much you're paying.
Like you'd expect motorized curtains or something. Also looking at the kitchen, that place wasn't designed to be lived in, that's just a summer home.
the eco friendly house is so funny, “we believe in being eco friendly so we destroyed a bunch of wooded areas that wildlife lived and thrived in so that we could build a massive unnecessary house and golf course that only ppl who dump oil and don’t care about the environment could afford”
„Oh yeah, and we used an amount of concrete and cement which could usually house maybe five or six families to accommodate one family which probably uses it as their summer home.“
@@hugonottmayr i rlly don’t know what their line of thought and reason was for this house, it’s just so ironic and stupid, truly only something a stupidly rich person could come up with
It's just an asset, they buy it to store wealth since money loses value with time, but houses don't, so when they need money, they sell it, or use it as collateral for a loan.
Not necessary over lands but all the expensive craps they’re putting inside probably have more carbon footprints than 1,000 people would spend in their lifetime.
You sound like the typical Twitter user tho
Lots of people who care about the environment can afford it, for example actors, musicians, producers, directors, eco-lifestyle CEO's, etc

Those cavernous rooms would be a nightmare to heat properly, too. The more I see these places, the more I think "what would I want with that?" It all looks so uncomfortable and unfriendly. It doesn't look like somewhere a person could really live.
Why is everything in these homes so sharp and uncomfortable? They’re literally the antonyms of cozy.
They look so sterile too, they don't look like they're to be lived in at all. No life anywhere...
I don’t mind having a sharp modern look, only problem I have is when they over exaggerate it with “expensive material” and long ass hallways. And these houses say it all
It legit looks like the workplace of a tech startup…
Because the people that own these properties don't stay in them long and usually have people that cook and clean for them. Think about it, they are busy and move a lot, at least a lot of them.

If you have millions of dollars, why would you ever buy a "pre made" house? Just build one from scratch exactly how you want it to be SMH.
Why do you think the guy showing the houses seems so desperate? Nobody wants to buy them.
That's uh usually what the original person who commissioned the house did, then they got bored of the and it's a regular old rich person mansion that nobody wants to buy
Many of them inherited much of the money and lack any hint of creativity whatsoever.

That "minimalist" house was anything but minimalism lmao
I think they were looking for the word "modern." A minimalist house would be like a few rooms with basic necessities and neutral colors...
concepts like minimalism have been co-opted and commodified into products that you need to buy into and actively maintain, to just appear like you are leading a minimal lifestyle, instead of it being something you already are capable of if you readjusted and cut down on your existing space and habits that might not be essential.

I work in London and my job takes me to a lot of expensive houses. The old ones are always so much better than the modern ones in my opinion. If I had millions I’d definitely preferred an old mansion like something Victorian. Much more sophisticated.
Me too. I hate the look of most modern buildings. They look so lifeless and uninviting. I would feel miserable living in these garbage houses. I'd rather live in an 80's house and drive an old car before I even thought about getting those stupid supercars. The people who live in these also feel so soulless. These houses will literally suck the life and happiness out of me every time I watch these videos.
Modern architects be like :
Oh, you don't like the grey/white cube I designed? Well, beauty is completely subjective. They must have destroyed all the ugly buildings in the past. My architecture is more conceptual anyway. They're probably racists.

The glass house looks like a really difficult hitman level where there are sight lines across the map so you have to eliminate the target indirectly.

Indeed it does. It just makes you question your surroundings.
lmaooo
Its giving that one millionare from Ex Machina, like the next person that buys the glass house is gonna find a rogue AI in the basement and the body of the last owner with it
With the house being made of glass and there being forest that completely surrounds it, I could never sleep. I'd constantly be on edge and thinking that someone's out there lurking in the woods.
If you heard glass shattering downstairs you’d never know from where…
The glass mansion is like a stalker's wet dream. Like, imagine getting stalked by some perverted maniac and any time you try hide somewhere you just can't. Just cringe.

When a multi million mansion has 2 solar panels; ECO FRIENDLY
Ah, nothing screams "cozy" like a wide-open design, concrete/glass and sterile lighting.
Realtor: So, what are you looking for in a mansion?

This shit looks deadass like a thing you'd build on Minecraft as a home you saw popping up on a TH-cam tutorial
The first house's bathroom/shower looks like a solitary confinement chamber from the 1920s
I was thinking the same! It felt almost like a prison cell, so not practical/comfortable
it's the scary cold blue lighting
Stanley Kubrick vibes
The bathroom is the worst by far I can just imagine that it would be constantly cold no matter how hot you turned up the water
@Instagram User wow 24k ultra HD? nice... xD
I laughed when they were panning over the roof while talking about how environmentally friendly it is, then ended the shot with a guy hitting plastic balls into the ocean lolol
They make some that are supposedly dissolvable and safe to hit into the ocean but idk how much I believe the claims.

@@Tulip_bip seriously?
@@nicksurfs1 mhm, plastic takes 1000 years to break down lmao
@@Tulip_bip I’m not talking about the regular plastic ones.
I firmly feel that what makes these houses so empty feeling isn't necessarily the lack of furniture, but the lack of character. Like, if they had normal things that make these rooms feel like actual bedrooms and not offices, it would feel less empty. Maybe a tiny bit of mess, or a few cool posters and normal, non-body sized windows. But that's just me. I'd love to live in one of those places! Not the glass house though.
I admit, I find it so interesting to see the downright idiotic houses that rich people will buy only to never live in it.

They all seem like they're for the purpose of showing off, not to be comfortable or cosy or fun.
The more money you spend on a house, the less time you'll have to be in it.
There is no such thing as an eco-friendly mansion. They are not complementary in the slightest.
Using massively more materials an developing more land does not help the environment lol. "Yes, I would also like my clean carbon Hummer."
No way that place is eco friendly with that much manicured lawn. If they actually cared, they would have a natural/organic lawn.
Blow up the mansion, now it's eco friendly.
Though with an all electric Hummer under gmc now existing, it’s not even affordable to buy (priced 80-100k) plus very suspicious coming from GM being favored a lot lately about being first to become carbon neutral.
I agree with you, but I wanna point out the irony in that analogy since the new hummer is fully electric

"(PARAPHASED) DIS FAMELEE IS CARBON PRINT CONSCIOUS."

It's like using the unlimited money cheat code to make a huge house in Sims 4 but then being too lazy to actually create and furnish rooms.

when i first moved to japan i had to buy my own fridge. it was just about that same size but standing, did not have a freezer, and my wife and i had to share it.
i can confirm, a fridge that small is a nightmare
When I see these houses I just think "Do the millionaires that buy them also hire 30 people to keep it clean?" Like NO WAY you're going to have a single person clean ALL OF THAT, you need a legion, and by that point your fancy-pants mansion is full of strangers constantly
The solar on that "eco-friendly" house is about enough panels to run MAYBE the game room and a microwave.
🤦♂️
If you only used the property one day a month, would it be sufficient then?
@@hannahkitts if there is battery backup then yes. If not. The system produces anywhere between 4-7kw of energy in direct sunlight. Microwaves use 1200w or 1.2kw, so that's the run down basically
To quote Yahtzee Croshaw: "Yeah, it sounds nice to have a villa with big windows overlooking the French Pyrenees, but after a few weeks, you start getting bored of it and increasingly paranoid of snipers."
"All it takes is one curious bear, to tear down this whole house." 😂😂💀💀
Imagine going to the kitchen without any footwear in the winter and having your bare feet touch the ultracold concrete floor. That's not a mansion that's a mental asylum.
Weat footwear then lmao

Some solar panels apparently solves everything. Probably 2 people living in it...
Rich people
The fact they mention the price of everything in the second house, really speaks as to what kind of people they are... They just want everything to be status symbols rather than just something they like
They usually just say it cause its nice to know that you have some weird statue in your garden worth 500 grand
If I had a lot of money to spend on a house, I’d make it as practical and comfortable as possible. You know, the things you would want in a home that are hard to get in a budget place like a cheap apartment. My first thought is actually being able to have a normal temperature in the house - something that probably isn’t possible with all that glass and open space. It must be a nightmare to try to cool that thing down inside when the hot sun is shining through every wall, or to warm it up when literally everything is made of cold stone and glass.
i know right, I was thinking it's a shame the kitchens in all these houses are so small, a nice big kitchen would be the first thing I would want in a fancy house
0:56 "the way this land has been for hundreds of years!!"
*pans to artificial forest with literally no plants/brush/literally anything in the understory beyond lawn grass*

The glass house is legit like an aquarium for humans
All u need is water
Oh goodness yes xD
makes me think like if giant aliens owned us as pets, like in Solar Opposites where the kids in the alien family shrink humans and keep them in glass aquariums. Brrr.
If I ever had that kind of money, I would just buy an existing property and refurbish the hell out of it.
I have always wondered who in the hell wants these types of homes… now I know

Love it when rich people own a multi acre mega mansion then slap a couple solar panels on the roof and call it 💫eco-friendly💫
* slaps 1 billion solar panels on the roof but makes the other parts of the house bad for the enviroment and the inside is also bad too * look at my beautifull eco house 😊😊😊😊
A house made entirely of glass.
May sound nice until a storm with high winds come through and the debris breaks all the glass of the house.
Or until someone throws a single rock at the window and the whole thing just shatters
@@pissapocalypse Or if you trip right next to the window
@@chewymew Or if you breathe anywhere in the house

Not only is that glass house a wet dream for thieves to rob or a person very much into Voyeurism to live in but imagine how cold it must probably feel like in the winter because as far as I could see, I saw no heating appliances in that house unless it's in the roof or something.
Eco-freindly house... with a golf course.
You know how wasteful golf courses are? They're like lawns times a hundred, they guzzle water, guzzle gas, and you don't even get anything out of it cause golf fucking sucks.
this is the kind of a house I wouldn't take me shoes off upon entering. feels like a corridor leading to the public toilets in a shopping mall
OMG LOL
The people I’ve known growing up with super big houses usually didn’t take their shoes off.
It really defeats the purpose of calling a mansion or home “environmentally conscious” when often times they take up a ridiculous amount of space that isn’t necessary, use expensive building materials that likely harmed the environment to produce, and (because of how big that are) produce a ridiculous amount of waste in the end. Literally going completely against the definition of being “environmentally conscious,” I’m exhausted.
If I had that much money, I’d rather restore a dilapidated or a diamond-in-the-rough old mansion. For one, I prefer older styles of houses, and while it would need some new materials and the disposal of waste material, I’d argue it’s most environmentally friendly to just work on a mansion that already exists.
Cos fuck buying a normal house am I right
@@cptsteele91 like damn, if i was that rich fuck a mansion ill just buy a decent size home and buy all the surrounding land for miles around me
@@jay-d8g3v don't even think I'd do that, just live like a normal person but without ever having to worry money wise...spend it all on extravagant shit and it'll just run out eventually, unless you're like top 100 richest people ever rich I suppose, even then I dunno...just doesn't really appeal to me

The bathroom in that first house is infuriating to me because I've just begun studying interior design and one of the first things they teach you is that marble is porous. As in: it's going to absorb water. Why the FUCK would you put it in a bathroom?
This is a weird comment because the marble is, obviously, never raw. It ALWAYS has sealant on top of it, the same way wood floors have varnish on top of them. My kitchen counter is marble. I bought the marble raw. And had it sealed. It surrounds my sink. It's not absorbing anything.
By the way, I agree with the spirit of your comment, in that the house and it's planning and materials are ass backwards. Someone brought up it would be good for parties..... But like..... It would be impossible to heat or cool. And why would you want drunk or high people surrounded by glass everything????
@@ewetn1 Also can you imagine the noise at parties? Especially with music? Unbearable.
I just hope it has heated floors.. the worst part of mornings is showering and stepping on cold floor
The thing that always baffles me about these "eco friendly" gettups is just how much space age tech and materials it uses. Like bro, not only did you cut down the forest, but you strip mined the ground under it and yet say it has no impact on the environment.
and they have those huge ass lawns that have sprinklers every 2 feet running 3 hours a day
“So in respect to their privacy, we won’t be showing their bedrooms.”
