An amazing house, especially the wine cellar is spectacular 😍 but also the pool area and of course the fantastic view from the house to the mountains and Lake Lugano. I am already looking forward to the next episode 😊
I think it's more of a Bond house in my opinion, elegant, somewhat dark but still with some light color and lots of green. I would imagine a Batman home to be completely underground, mostly with dark colors and with little green nature 😅 Beautufil house as it is 😍
This house stands in Morcote. Villas in that village are being sold in the market for 6-20 mio. $. Assuming there must have been already an (old) house on that property before, this house must have cost in the range of 10-25m. Wow.
I live not far from this house and I never noticed it! Truly stealthy! Stunning home; I’d have chosen lighter colors for the kitchen and the closets and would have left less walls in their raw concrete form (this is very common in modern architecture in Switzerland, see the new wing of the Kunsthaus in Zürich), but I guess it’s a matter of taste.
Impressive, also the fact that they bought an expensive luxury mansion, demolished it, and built this. At the very least 10M CHF total cost. Thanks for the tour. Unfortunately technically difficult to film such a house with dark colors inside, with very bright diffuse light outside.
No amount of flowery words can make up for the fact that the house is too dark. Surely, designing for daylight has to be one of the primary considerarions in architecture.
Even outdoors its gloomy and overcast. It would have been interesting to see the inside with the light coming in. I think it might have been oppressive and almost impossible to shoot if the sun had been shining in directly
I think some of this has to do with how the video is shot. A lot of the indoor shots are exposed to keep the sky outside properly exposed. It’s probably a bit brighter in person. You can tell based on how dark his face is in a lot of the shots.
Black is very much “in” right now in styling. Just wait 5-10 years and it will look out of place. The old mansions around it have stood the test of time and “fancy” styles that have come and gone. Black won’t survive as well. Black actually fades and oxidizes over time. Based on the wealth of the owner, I doubt it will matter much to him.
If this video was shot now in Winter then the lighting is different anyway to when it is summer. I think i would want to see it in real life to see what it is really like.
Hi Christian I have just binge watched all your videos. Apart from the fact that you are incredibly cute. I love your presentation enthusiasm and content. You are on another level when it comes to architecture videos Thank you so much Can’t wait for your next video Christopher
The nerve of the people in the comments saying, "There isn't enough natural light", "Doesn't feel like a home", etc... The house is named 'The Stealth'. Even the title says "Batman or Bond?", so I would think there was a conscious intention to make it so... Not every design has to cater to our personal preferences. It takes away from appreciating what a design has to offer. And also, judging by the harsh quality of light, it's most definitely South or South-West facing, which is why the shots are clearly kept a bit under-exposed.
Cool project in many aspects. But sometimes monotonous and there is a lot of not cool objects (too much in the living room) with ugly plants. 8/10 nice finish and as man I think that’s a cool bat cave. Another comment. Small bedrooms and kitchen.
As Frank Lloyd Wright said about bedrooms: They are only to be slept in. Don’t waste space on them. He also made note of kitchens: They are work rooms defined for a singular purpose. Very different from today where the kitchen becomes part of the living experience. Depending on the owner’s preference, the kitchen could just be for servants or catering staff to use. If they aren’t gourmet cooks themselves, they may not want it part of their living experience. Just for making some coffee in the morning. The large living room is genius. So many options for arranging set ups. Look at the size of the dining room table. 16-20 people around it! Try fitting all those people into a single seating arrangement in the living room. They need different groupings.
A house really depends on the lifestyle, perception and needs of its user. Not everyone in the world have the requirement of a 'house' in its traditional definition.
Had to turn up the brightness of my device to the max to find out: the house is way too dark! It consumes all the light. If you turn on the lamps in this house it probably gets even darker
Love the brutalist concrete with glass and the dark look but the living room is disappointing. 3 different sofa sets in one large room with no separation? Looks like a hotel lobby. Views are nice though. And the "gym" is a joke.
Batman lives there, that’s why. 😂 No, I’m joking. I guess you refer to the shots in the living room? It is a low-light setting and with the bright sun outside, you cannot perfectly expose the camera for the view and the interior at the same time. So you will either have blown out white windows (not being able to see the view) or make the interior appear a little darker to be able to see both at the same time. Hope it helped. 👍🏼
Eugene, we have to respect that people are living there. Ideally, this would be a multiple day shoot, but that’s not always possible for practical reasons. We try to get the most out of the time we have available.
I don’t really see the architectural masterpiece here. Architecturally it reminds me of countless other modern glass box houses. It seems more of an interior design showpiece than an architectural one - if you want a home in charcoal grey and black and you love the idea of hiding the bar behind panelling. But the views are stunning. Obviously.
Sadly the design is dated already ... very 2010 . moderately depressing in color pallet. Its linear straight lines and square corners give the design a mildly evil "filing cabinet" vibe ... far far from anything artistic organic sustainable or tactile. A general feeling of being dehumanized with a moderate level of unfriendliness. The cellar recycling of wine cases the only exception. This design is a lost opportunity to integrate at least solar panels into the all black roof design. The sense of scale and portions are generous and balanced. The orientation and flow between inside and outside are well executed. Engineering is of highest quality. Unfinished raw concrete surface shows a lack of imagination and cries out for render white plaster or paint to try to balance the flood of moody black surfaces. While the view is great the land size and location is urban and restrictive making the design oversized and an over use of the size of the land. If the owner had real money the design would look more sculptural on a land size 300 to 400% larger OR a scaled down version of the villa on the land of this size. SUMMARY interesting however far too restrictive and brutalist in general style lacking flow or a creative flare. Reminds me of Russian rocket launch station rather than a positive creative living space for free thinking humans to actually live in.. With todays AI powered designs available this design is already dated. A nice place for cold black AI robots to live in. Sadly lacking colour curves and imagination and dare I say it some art ! SCORE 7/10 however for the money that was spent on this project its fundamentally a lost design opportunity in comparison to what it could have been ...however to be fair the end produce probably reflects the owner's mind set rather the it being the Designers own property.
Takovej budu mít jenom na vejkendy… S váma v zádech na nej vydělám za měsíc… Vždyť ze mě děláte milionáře už deset let… teda sorry… prej už miliardáře 😂😂😂😅
Sinceramente non mi convince.... Poca luce, non è accogliente, non mi piace il cemento grigio... Considerando che siamo in Svizzera costerà dai 15-20.000.000 di franchi, non ha senso.
This might be the most annoying narration ive ever heard. Where do you come upbwith these fantasies about architechture javing a conversation with nature? Give me a break. Oh and its a dark cave
This is another expensive home for the rich. The building is bleak and bare like the Modern Architecture demands. Who can afford a wine sellar? None of the stairs have railings. The mansion merges the living room and the bathroom which is fashionable but will age badly. Who wants to shower in front of everyone? Who wants to relieve himself with company nearby. Why not build for those of limited means? That is really novel.
All technological advancement begins with someone trying to push the boundaries of what is possible. When new discoveries are made, past inventions are replaced by better and often much cheaper options. If no one was trying to design and build something extraordinary, the materials conventional homes are built with today would likely not even have been found. Bold architecture is needed; it will also have a positive affect towards affordable housing.
Dicky, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but you are denying one critical factor here: This is what the owner wanted otherwise it would not have been built!! You have no appreciation for what this wealthy individual desired for his home. This is a complete one-off design. Not an ordinary or budget-market home for the masses.
I'm not going to spend all that money to have a place that's like an airport departure lounge. Why do they have to put in so much furniture? Not all of us need people around all the time. If I bought this, it'd be to be most alone except maybe with the kids. That's all. Maybe an occasional person who I feel is worth bringing there. The idea is to escape and be away from human beings. Don't you people get it? Not all of us have club-going tendency. I just want to watch Jumper in quiet and peace without the stuidity of some person messing up the vibes for me.
that's really unique when you have - in your living room - such a beautiful lakesight that is not disrupted by anything.
This villa is simply fantastic ! Congratulation to the architect !
Incredible home. Breathtaking setting. Simply stunning❤
Very unique houses need very unique buyers. Very very dark but nice Layout!

@D_SQ
I totally agrree. In addition, simply too much use of concrete. Not a fan of this type of trendy architecture.

Love the house 🔥 Please say hi to the adorable kitty for me 😉

Only darkness, no enough light. Those deep shadows 😊. That can’t be breathtaking for the viewer. But I believe being on set it’s amazing.
Not so keen on the long walk to the main entrance. I assume there is an alternative entry point during inclement weather?
There is an elevator from the garage area. Just thought the sequential entrance path was more interesting to show. 😉
Spatial sequences 😮😮😮
Very cold dark and lonely
its perfect for not beeing distracted in enjoying the beautiful seesight and nature.
Flot arkitektur og perfekte beliggenhed!
Does it come with a cape?
Verynicehome
May I ask you the name of the song that is playing from beginning until 6:36 please?
(It’s not Itro Flavour)
Enjoy keeping It clean😂😂😂
The interior darkness in materials gives the house a sense of inclosure. Even though it’s open to the outside
Wow, wow, wow, wow.....
i want to buy it. How much?
Nice bachelor pad, not sure it's quite right for a family. Overall it seems too dark, unless this is due to not using camera lighting.
Are they gonna use it for filming thrilling movies?
@arvinhaddad can you review this property

It would be nice to see it clear inside once it's that dark outside
Yes, definitely some evening shots to show how it glows at night. It must be very impressive. Homes aren’t just experienced during the daytime.
What songs are used in this video? 👌
Ave Air - All Is Now
They Dream By Day - Dagdröm
DEX 1200 - Shadows Unseen
Stunningly beautiful, although I would not want to be the guy in charge of cleaning fingerprints and cat hair all over those dark surfaces.
❤ 🏠👏
Just for being in Switzerland it most cost a fortune
The cost of the building permits alone could buy a decent car.
architects need to realise that there is something called "too much tech"
a house has to make you feel relaxed
A house really depends on the lifestyle, perception and needs of its user. Not everyone in the world have the requirement of a 'house' in its traditional definition.
@@nishlraai the need of a roof above your head came exactly because people felt the need to be sheltered and calm
@@GIANNHSPEIRAIAS Necessity and luxury are two different things.
The detail of the Mr. Lover Lover Corkscrew at @6:24……..
A little easter egg. Well spotted! 😂
This doesn’t feel like a home. It’s very sterile.
It is called stealth but it stands out between all those other houses, this somewhat defeats that purpose. I saw it is more Bond villain.
Perfect house for a cybertruck😂😂
Entrance makes no sense is miles from the door, kitchen is gourgeous
There was another entrance with elevator trought the garage. But main entrance for the guest was down there 🙌🏻
Had to turn up the brightness of my device to the max to find out: the house is way too dark! It consumes all the light. If you turn on the lamps in this house it probably gets even darker
I would love to build a beautiful home on the property.
if you only listen to what he is saying the house looks great, if you open your eyes you will be disapointed.
Very depressive living room and kitchen. Prince of darkness would appreciate it. Family man needs wood white beige etc
A Magnificent McMansion Monstrosity and Masterpiece.
Love the brutalist concrete with glass and the dark look but the living room is disappointing. 3 different sofa sets in one large room with no separation? Looks like a hotel lobby. Views are nice though. And the "gym" is a joke.
I second this
This video is too dark, surely the house can’t be that dark all the time.

Can't help but agree - the shots are too dark and difficult to see the detail which is a shame. Stunning house though
@@RestlessLiving you could have filmed during the day and at night when you have more control of the light sources...
Eugene, we have to respect that people are living there. Ideally, this would be a multiple day shoot, but that’s not always possible for practical reasons. We try to get the most out of the time we have available.
Water damage all over the concrete looks awful. They needed a lip
To budu mít taky?! 😂😂😂
Tak ale nejdřív ten byt zadarmo tomu krupanskymu fizlovi z Dlouhý…

This home has promise but as is, no, it is not yet a masterpiece. For instance, the furnishings are designer grade.
The stealth? Ah yes, a big black roof that blends in its surrounding? How silly do you want it to be?
I don’t really see the architectural masterpiece here. Architecturally it reminds me of countless other modern glass box houses. It seems more of an interior design showpiece than an architectural one - if you want a home in charcoal grey and black and you love the idea of hiding the bar behind panelling.

Obviously Batman. Bond would live in a Palace somewhere in Italy by a lake
I love the way you styled this house! I also run a channel about home design and would love for you to check it out.
I like the overall architecture, but interior is horrible, concrete, black and depressing, really a batman cave
The Wine cellar is terrible on so many levels. Besides that, the rest of the project is top notch if you like a dark themed house.
It sucks. Abd this comes from someone who likes dark interiors. Selling this will be close to impossible.
beautiful view for a concrete penitentiary. Stop trying to sell unfinished concrete as good. It's cheap and ugly.
Якщо дизайнер вважає що зробити все чорним це вишуканий дизайн то вона помилилася.
Sento puzza di evasione fiscale 😂😂😂
the buddha as a decoration is just unnecessary and disrespectful
Disrespectful to the house or to Buddha?
I cannot actually make out the interior as it is dark. Maybe you could have used lights for the photography.
That would have been ideal. But we unfortunately didn’t have enough time nor the budget for that. So we tried to get the most out of what we had. 👌🏼
This is the set of parasite the movie.
La casa está hermosa, pero no saben poner las botellas de vino correctamente
furniture is ugly but the setting and the volume, view, architecture amazing
Nice build, shame about the interior design and lighting.
No respect for the surrounding area, it looks like many late 80s office complexes in the outskirts of Milan. Worst of all it looks old-fashioned.
Could not appreciate much. Very bad lightning.

it sticks out like a sore thumb amidst the other houses. It's not even a nice contemporary design, it's soulless.
It's hideous and so out of touch with it's surroundings and the other houses

architecture is bland and ugly. Nothing about the building says it is swiss-italian but rather just a block of concrete.
Stealth ok, but what's all this crap IN the house??
Please stop moving your hands so much
Stealth=Scary? 💩
Its horrible! Dark dingy depressing looking.
