They have also created quite the asset. That I’n itself is quite valuable. Will probably make as much as the book deal just on the property if chose to sell
If you are not embarrassed. The embarrassment is always felt by others. This is the spirit. Neighbors have the right to look you. And you also have the right to be naked inside or do whatever you want in your class home.
Extreme land ownership. I'd have to know for a fact that nobody would ever be walking through there. Even so, sleeping like that would feel weird. People generally like to feel hidden when sleeping.
This place would go so well with privacy film to switch on and off and especially if it was smart depending on weather or time of the day to change the transparency.
This is what design and architecture are all about. It might be a hommage to an earlier great work, but it's a unique response to its environment, and the client's requirements. Excellent work and a well executed vision. More like this please!
I kinda disagree on that. Architecture is way much more than a glass box on an amazing landscape for one person to write a book and then rent it out on Airbnb . If that is what architecture is all about we are doomed.
Well, it's obviously what the client wants. Being surrounded visually by the outdoors/nature is amazing! I am thinking though that sometimes there can be such a thing as too much sunlight. Maybe the homeowner does not suffer from migraines. I guess there is the option for some massive sliding drapes.
I agree, and not only because of interior window treatment. The outside setting is very bare, so nothing shields the house or breaks the light. The west side especially would benefit from a group of trees to sift the evening sun in the summer.
Yeah, I’m light sensitive all the time, but there are times that I’m really sensitive, and certain kinds of cloud cover can be even harsher on me than sunlight (that flat white blanket of clouds can irritate my eyes even more than harsh sunlight because it’s EVERYWHERE). I had to stay sequestered in my room in the afternoons when my parents moved because one wall was all windows and had western exposure. I’d go two weeks stuck in my room because of those windows and a migraine, only able to come out to get food after the sun had set. I love love love the look of really open houses that make you feel like you’re outside. But there’s no WAY. I also have a sun allergy and I break out in a pretty severe rash for the first half dozen times I’m exposed to sunlight for more than about ten minutes each spring, so this kind of thing gives me nightmares from a practical standpoint. 😂
The building has massive eaves; they allow the greatest light during winter when the sun is much lower in the sky, whilst disallowing direct summer sun. I would also guess that the “open” section of the eaves is on the southern side, allowing more light especially during the (long and often very cold) Hobart winters. To my mind, this is the perfect minimalist dwelling for a very private location, even though I do suffer migraines…
I find this design boring and really basic with no soul and just lazy design overall, he though of nothing, no trees no carpets that can be adjusted and used to make a more pleasing atmosphere and just tried so hard to convince us and make it seem artistic/complicated when in reality it should had been a 2 minute video of him talking instead of 6 minutes +1 more minute of video footage and Ad
This home really connects with the nature! You can just relax all day staring outside while keeping you calm. I'm so in-love with this home! Thank you Local Project 😎🥰💖
Really a stunning place, but at night I’m not sure I’d enjoy being so open and vulnerable. I’d need some curtains, at least for the bedroom, to feel safe
As a songwriter and singer, I am creatively juiced looking out from glass doors into beautiful nature. This design is a perfect inspiration for my music studio loft. This way, my home and studio are on the same lot but separated. I'd simply walk or drive/ride from my house to the studio. My musicians can also lodge at the music loft during projects. Splendid!
Clearly our definitions of 'tiny' are very different, haha! Beautiful space though. Would've loved for the architect to mention some of the inspirations for this project (as others have already mentioned in this comment section)
It’s essentially the Mies Van der Rohe pavilion, no? I’m not mad at it though. I’m never sure if I could live in a place 360• open, especially at night -I’d really like to hear from someone that has.
I wouldn’t compare it to the Barcelona pavilion as much as I would compare it to Mie’s other design the farnsworth house. Especially considering the goals of this home and the farnsworth house are very similar
@@rozinant1237 the farnsworth house and Johnson’s glass house are both popular Modernist glass houses with ideas about treatment of the relationship of interior space to the exterior landscape through glass. I’m sure the architect here definitely used both as influences
I'm in love for this place, although it is scary to think that u will not have privacy at all and u cant "turn off the lights" . u r kinda obligated to respect the presence of the sun
This house inevitably compares to Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson's Glass House but this architect wrestles with the severity of his forbearers and softens it up, quite a feat when you're dealing with an empty glass cube. The interior wood burning fireplace is the stroke this house needed. Warm embers and dancing flames counter the implacable right angles and hard, unforgiving glass windows which wrap the home like a sarcophagus. The fireplace is the heart of the home, giving life and breath and comfort in the blackest nights and chilly winter mornings. There are few other scant humanizing touches, as imperceptible as finger prints... but it's not enough to make this house a contemporary masterpiece. The quotations are too heavy handed but, no matter, the client and architect built a beautiful home.
I have been to Mies's and Johnson's glass houses. They both have fireplaces designed by the architects. Their glass walls are the antithesis of a sarcophagus, they disappear. The walls of this house have larger pieces of glass butted together. The glass sheets are slotted into the floor and ceiling. The only framing is on the two sliding doors. This all adds to the walls of glass being an invisible enclosure. I find so many critiques of modern architecture because so many have only experienced it on a screen and not in person. What a joy it would be to spend time there.
@@pistonmeyers Whether or not glass appears to disappear depends on the time of day, the weather, and reflections. Yes, sometimes glass can appear invisible but at other times glass can appear implacable. What you say about experiencing these homes in the flesh is well taken. Many people have opinions about Rothko without ever seeing a Rothko. So yes, what I say, I say with a grain of salt. I'm still trying to wrap my head around why anyone would want to lift so heavily from van der Rohe and Johnson, however.
Thank you. I immediately thought of the Farnsworth House but I could not remember the name of it; I did not know about Glass House. I have to wonder if these houses are cold on winter nights, even with the fireplace since glass insulates poorly compared to a regular wall with modern insulation. I imagine the two older houses have single-pane windows. Oh, the Wikipedia article includes "Farnsworth herself expressed dismay at the house's poor temperature control"! I expect this new house has at least double-pane glass and so would be better.
Ohhh my...woooww...breath taking. Congratulations to the architects, I loved the way you described this work of art. And Congratulations to the owner, wishing you a good life to enjoy such beautiful house in such a incredible place.
I think it's fantastic, no issue with it being open all the time, look where it is !. Sure a Glass box in suburbia has privacy issues, no real issue here. I'm in.
it's sublime. I could live there full time, not only when writing a novel ;) I guess it sits on quite a bit of land and so the owner is not concerned about anyone walking around the pavilion. I'm curious what the main house looks like
this is a dream seclusion home!! To have no distractions; either external or self-created is a dream I have had for over 5 years now. I have a newly found interest in screenplay writing and this place would be perfect to actually accomplish it. For now, I have to pay the bills and raise a family. However I will "retire" someday, and so I can see this being an eventual fruitful experience.
Watching this viewlist of the channel, and for sure, the architecture of a lot houses is quite stunning. Though, man, I never recognized the beauty of Tasmania! Damn, what a piece of heaven on Earth!
"He wanted a place to write a novel" - sounds like an ultimate win in the procrastination competitions. "Let's build a luxurious house in a remote, secluded area, then I'll be able to finally sit down & write!" :D No, but seriously, mad respect, it's a tasteful project and something that inspires me for the future.
Crikey. It’s open or open. Most users would feel very exposed in something like this, especially at night when you can’t see out but you know things out there can see in. If the client enjoys this experience then fair play. Why not just have some super minimal drop down blinds. It would make the place way more dynamic, you would be able to play with a sense of enclosure in all directions, in day and at night.
"we're not striving for a form, we're striving for an experience and then we're striving to have the minimum use of materials in order to achieve that."
This would make a lovely group office for actual tiny house dwellers to go to to write. A center of community for the house owners. Either that or a guest house.
Al ver esta obra, percibo la esencia de Mies Van Der Rohe, su trabajo con el acero, vidrio, las columnas, el recorrido libre ... ver el resultado me deja atónito.
Spends inordinate amounts of money instead of just ploughing on and finishing the novel? Yep, sounds like an author. But seriously, beautiful house in a beautiful area.
It better have been a f..... great novel! Talk about setting a high bar to clear. Move over Philip Johnson. On another subject, I didn’t know they were called “Hobartians”? You learn something new everyday.
This place looks awesome ! I can imagine living there , very privileged. Very peaceful and that view ! Wow . Every little corner is perfect . I see myself writing a novel there or getting inspired to do many things . Congratulations .
Es hermosa y parece un experimento. Vivir sin ninguna protección. Enseñando toda tu vida 24 horas..., me gusta ¿ pero realmente se puede vivir ahí? Es un ejercicio de exhibicionismo. De confianza. Es un teatro. No sé si es una idea tipo sueño.
Absolutely love this design amazing for me I'd need just a tad bit of privacy which can easily be achieved with such a great design I love the minimalism here & the scale of the house is perfect just what I need.
Yo as a writer my dream is to have an open walled pavilion in the middle of nature with only a desk, a bed, and a bathroom. Lo and behold, someone somewhere on Earth had the same dream. Wild.
You know I REALLY HATE draperies and window coverings, but this is at a whole new level; I do not like it; It is also not safe either; I do not recommend this house. You alos do not have to have enemies for people to take pot shots at you
I love the heat generated by the summer sun in nz afternoon. Glass home. Haha. The glass can grill BBQ. Imagine how hot inside. Then after sunset. The temperature of the house will soon drop to 10 degrees. I live in Auckland so I know this house is just for a look not for live. Maybe a good for rent DND.
Can you add water glass falls with LED patterns to light up and create still a frost of waterfall privacy instead of your traditional Floor to ceiling curtains... I thought that would be cool!
Did you study/research the Philip Johnson Glass House when designing this? Wondering if you were looking at any problems he had in order to avoid/solve with yours. It's beautiful. I would live there... tho I might need some more storage. Guess it's not for permanent living. Regards from Indiana.
People on here complaining, and yes it is a little too open, but if there’s no neighbors I don’t see why not. Weird take, but I feel that it helps the author with sleep schedule. Up when the suns up and down when the suns down. There’s no dark room to hide and it just seems so free
I love all the glass but I'm sure that PETA would have a field day with that place. At least you don't have to go far to rustle up a meal. This, however, is a home that would give Captain Chesley Burnett Sullenberger III (Sully) horrible flashbacks every time there's a thud.
It is reminding me of Mis van der Rohe's pavilion in berlin. The visual is the same as the pavilion, but the concept of "transparent space" is the same too… BUT! It is not bad, i'm love how it was done in residential function. I would like to live here, it is a unique type.
Imagine having such a problem with procrastination that you build this house instead of writing your book
I was thinking exactly that! Like: "Man, just write the damn book wherever" hahaha
LMAAOOO
Next level!
I used to write for journalism and no lie, writer’s block is a thing. You could sit in front of a screen and nothing would come out
They have also created quite the asset. That I’n itself is quite valuable. Will probably make as much as the book deal just on the property if chose to sell
Imagine feeling privacy in a glass House. What a profound luxury.
Who's gonna watch on him? Birds?

True, but would cost a bucket load.
@@arsalanz2214 I do not think the person who had this built would be concerned or bothered with the price
I agree, what a dream house. ❤️ 😍
Re. light control, I was wondering how light linen veil drapes would go. Ruin the effect or give it more movement and texture?
The more unplugged the better - even with modern appliances etc. Not sure if it suit.

What a brief for an architect to be given. This shelter not only looks great but would be a dream to live in. Love it.

its all so pretty, until someone with a chain saw and a hockey mask will be standing in your lawn.
It looks like the Glass House which was made years before this one. Still actually pretty cool tho

Right? I was expecting a smaller home but this is huge lol
Brodette, it's a glass square, that's it.
Interesting that this house plays on the unobstructed views, but yet is meaty enough to actually be a house. Very fine line with so much glass.
Wow. 1 minute in, I had to stop and share and email this around, and Pin it as well. So pure, such views, just incredible.

A great view of outdoors without the bugs.
After the sun goes down this house is the setting for a horror movie
Took my breathe away. Beautiful.
Why doesn't the architect acknowledge this structure is little more than a replica of the famous Philip Johnson "Glass House" completed in 1949?
Everyone has a mother and father.
Crikey. It’s open or open. Most users would feel very exposed in something like this, especially at night when you can’t see out but you know things out there can see in. If the client enjoys this experience then fair play.
Why not just have some super minimal drop down blinds. It would make the place way more dynamic, you would be able to play with a sense of enclosure in all directions, in day and at night.
Edith Farnsworth would agree with you. 😏
Maybe he's writing some horror story, so the house helps him to do that.
Once you eliminate all light sources, you can't see in from the outside, certainly not with any detail
wow!!!! one of the!! most amazing houses that i have seen!!! LOVE IT!

This place, this house live in my head rent free!
reminds of philip johnson's glass house
This reminds me of Keanu's home in "The Lake House".
Perfect...a wonderfully uncluttered space to write with an open heart.
Gorgeous house. As an author, I can't really see where the actual writing would get done. But maybe that's not the point.
Gee - let's hope his novel is a best-seller!
Love it. Just don’t know how they can comply with the energy efficiency standards or bushfire attack levels?
I can imagine it being a wonderful space to be creative. Stunning
What an extraordinary piece of art.
What a great brief, a great collaboration resulting in a beautiful result in a breathtaking, peaceful location.
Nice place, breath taking views and serenity. But imagine at night looking into the abyss of nothingness.
I love the elegant simplistic honesty of this design. I would prefer many more trees immediately around it, but leave the view seaward, unobstructed.
