I inherited a small Georgian stone house from my grandfather up in the mountain region. The walls are like impenetrable fortress🙏🏼 I miss firing up a wood stove with him and chats . Oh the memories
A fantastic video but I would love to see some of the process that they went through, Fitting? Cutting? Shaping? to make the stones fit together so beautifully!
@@Memento-_-Mori-_-982It’s not a dry-set stone walls (mortar less) so the mortar does a lot of the work. I’m more curious about what is holding up the largest openings… without collapse, as I can see the lintels supporting the window openings…???
@lazerdicks43 I'd bet that some of these stone lentils are really strong. Most likely 2 feet wide, 16" tall minimum, and probably 4-5 feet long. Some of the stones I've encountered in my career are super tough to crack or break through. I agree man. Would loved to have seen some more views. 👍
Interesting construction and thank you for the video. I noticed how well the stones have been piled up. But the small stones over the large openings are a breach of classic stone walls building rules. There can be no such an opening without concrete behind and it would have been better to rather chose arches with keystones to stay in line. Of course this would have changed the shape of these large openings... making the building look more ancient.
Hello Nick. Yeah you are right. We had a project like this one not so long ago. We had so many sleepless nights thinking about that one. Bu in final form we decided to leave utterly strong character of the building. Because most of the people don't know about the statics of the building and do not realise how these long openings must be build back then. :D
@@emrecalk1585 Now I still add another suggestion: Can still be done whenever there is a will to do so: Just replace the small stones which are over the large openings by a large size cut tree trunk. Even though this piece of wood will just hide the Reinforced Concrete support which is there inside the wall. Because in the old days they often used such cut trees to cover openings in stone walls. I guess the proportions of something similar in dimensions as railway track woods could do well. Anyhow.. just a suggestion. This way you do not need to build vaults or arches which of course would too much alter the idea of the massive stone house with only vertical and horizontal lines which is the style of this kind of houses.
@@NickVenture1 Yepp that's right. As civil engineers we use reinforced concrete or wooden bond beams inside the stone structural walls. And some times if it is a restoration project we could use whatever material used before like plumbum, iron, brass or mixed metal alloys to strengthen the wall. But i personally suggest reinforced concrete beams inside the walls of course, if it is a matter of architectural form we can use wooden beams that large enough to see on face of the walls between floors. Thanks for your comment.🖐🏻😄
@@ramseydieter I think they rather created reinforced concrete there. Easy to do. REBAR and concrete poured into casings. Just less than a day of work.
This is a very nice video. I appreciate the choice of music and the house is beautiful. I would have liked more information on the build choices and the reinforcement over the porch area.
Это самая тупая идея из всех как по мне. Судите сами: дом полностью каменный, без водяного хртя бы отопления, на камине. Бред уже. Почему не печь ? Ну наверное традиция. Но камин не греет вокруг себя а только перед собой. И ск.таких каминов надо чтоб согреть этот каменный мешок? А труда сколько.. этож ппц!
In our research of a duplex stone house, this is the most inspiring and would probably be a blue print of our future house up in the Himalayas. Many thanks to the designers for such detailed photography
@@mateomaderas5504 thank you for your reply, traditionally our houses ( in Garhwal himalayas) are made of stone and mud, in recent times people have shifted to concrete but it has a huge compromise in aesthetics. Please do let us know why do you think of stone houses are not suitable for himalayas (our altitude from sea level is 1300 meter at the construction site).
@@RahulUrvashi It's pretty simple really. Earthquakes make you think and build differently. We do not use unreinforced masonry anywhere it might fall on someone. For example, there are no brick chimneys in Christchurch, and they are being removed everywhere else. You also need to be careful about supporting anything massive, like water tanks, bookshelves, tiling, planters or pools. Wood and steel are the materials of choice. There are some great sealing products now that can ensure a wooden house stays weatherproof and dry.
Interesting, so concrete and rebar, extra stability I guess. Nice job. It is Good to know there are still people out there building with stone. I love it myself.
Building with natural rock is an Art. Every corner, every edge, every wall is perfect. Using reinforced concrete and high strength mortar helps ensure long life. Rock never wears out and this house will last much longer than the current owners.
Over a longer distance a reinforced concrete solution is an easier/stronger option, and another thing is the weight of such a big piece of rock, how do you get it in place.
That must be some warm country because I can see no thermal insulation. And how are you going to reconstruct canalization in case of leaks after 50 years of operation while it is inside the foundation?
Hermosa con una Alineacion Perfecta .. Construccion a CONCIENCIA .. Magnifica... Ojala que construyeran Asi hoy en dia . Lastima que No lo hacen Solo Madera y carton de hieso ... Triste ..
Sadly the use of the reinforced concrete (assuming steel not basalt for the rebar) and they've put a 20-110 lifespan on it. The chemical composition of concrete allows water to permiate through it and degalvansises the steel which leads to slow but inevitable rusting. Its ironically why both pure concrete and pure steel structures outlast reinforced concrete.
@@leannetabaczka6362 Hello. The house has a roof. And the rainwater is prevented from reaching the concrete surfaces below it. As long as the roof is maintained the concrete surfaces of this house will not get wet. Anyhow the concrete needs to be exposed to moisture for very long periods of time to even have the corrosion of metal inside become significant.
An excellent craftsmanship. Those who built this building were really masters. I hope the owners of the house live long in peace. I sincerely congratulate you.
I would have either preferred reinforced concrete or stone lintels, stone arches or large oak lintels over the large openings. The small stone flat arch goes against design that spans ages. I am surprised you did that seeing that you had an reinforced concrete floor slab that was obviously engineered.
Agreed. I didn't want to nitpick but noticed that too. I've seen it before in houses that want to look old, but aren't. Very unnecessary for a flat arch or jack arch is easy to make
@@davidmicheletti6292 I am not sure why that showed up here, it is a comment I wrote to someone else on a video I made, TH-cam gliches sort of freak me out. You did not seem to be in a bad mood either. This is so weird. But, I love stone too!
A home for generations. Will stand the test of time. So much better then the ugly wood and paper homes made in the US for more money then you could make in a decade.
Really nice to see people do new things with stone; though the large spans without lintels are kindof a bummer; they detract from the structural look of the stone; you can tell the stone isnt doing the work there, but its just there to look pretty. I guess the architect was going for an angular look or something but imo would have looked much nicer if those large spans were arches.
Is it cheaper than a brick/concret house? It seems you could pick all those stones up from side roads for free, but laying them in such constructive pattern seems a separate type of craft on its own...
The steel reinforced concrete supports are excellent. But I want to build one using no wood at all except for minimal interior finished of reclaimed wood.
Sure we can. The structural elements that carry the forces are out of concrete and the stones are just like face bricks. They dont serve a purpose except to look nice.
Great! It’s lovely, but are the builders only interested in aesthetics, or the cosmetics of building? Where’s the air sealing, insulation and moisture controls? Occupants must heat and condition the thing. Have we forgotten the future cost of human housing comforts?

Not too keen on the colours, but it's so tidy I can't stop admiring the workmanship.

What a beauty along with old-school scaffolding and ladder.
A beautiful building,top marks to the constructors involved👍
That's what a million dollar home should be. So beautiful.

Take me a couple years to lay all that stone. Very nice!

As long as the reinforced concrete stays dry there will be not enough moisture to corrode the steel inside the concrete. And this house has a roof.

My dream home! I’m sure it’s not cheap though. Thanks for sharing
Nice video. But this is not a "stone house". It's a concrete house with stones hiding the concrete.
Yes but the facade looks structural and beautiful at least and steel will help it last longer
widest openings have no lintel at all? stunning construction
very nice, looks solid as a rock too.
This is not a timelapse, but rather a chronological arranged set of pics. Very nice build though.
What happens when the rebar oxidizes? Does the building come down? I'm wondering how long this building would last with proper maintenance.
