    Kirsten, I have been enjoying your videos for years. I LOVE how you always present each space at every possible angle, allowing the owner/designer to speak at length about the intent behind each decision. What an absolute joy. Can’t thank you enough for all the creative inspiration (and relaxation) I’ve drawn from your videos!! Love from Minnesota. ❄️

    I am enthused by the concepts, particularly the layerings of space on the exterior. While I respect the adaptability of the interior, as a partially mobile 72 year old, I could not do the climbing required to use the living areas. I'd love to see a potential adaptation to accommodate those limitations.

    So there is no vapor barrier or protection for the cork insulation? I certainly have no experience with cork as a building material, but I would think it would need shelter from driving rain.
    Also, a 1x2 under panels is not a long-term solution to a step.

    Great video and stunning home. Yeah his voice is easy on the ears.
    When I built my last venture, I contacted the University of Texas and used their 'tongue and grove' design to build a tornado safe room in my Inn. 10' walls with OSB stood vertically brick and mortar style was their design with a hogs trough to connect each wall layer to the ceiling layer. The pressure change within was deafening.
    OSB is a fiber board made from quick growing and sustainable varieties such as yellow pine and some populars and it is much stronger than regular plywood.

    hihihihi, this guy is telling us: you can move stuff around as you wish. He procedes to devide and move the table, shortly after he places it back in the first position. He continues to devide the chair but he places it back in the same position. He continues to move the plank on the wall, he even places a lamp on it. Than he puts it all back in the original position... (I would do the exact same thing, but seeing someone else doing this makes me chuckle)
    As usual: the video is of quite an interesting build, a lot of stuff is well engineerd and well tought out! thanks for the great content Kirsten Dirksen.

      I would definitely shore it up a bit more underneath, but also have a piece of artwork made of varnished wood or something like that to fit over it as a table top when it's time to eat. Maybe a couple of those floor sofa/chair cushions on the window corner side for lounging the rest of the time & they can be quickly stashed underneath for meals. Would also double as a second sleeping place that way!

    It’s innovative, especially from an environmental standpoint, but not comfortable. All hard surfaces except the mattress. I also wonder about protection from fire - it kind of looks like a tinderbox. I appreciate people who are doing projects like this because they are providing a path to the future. It’s just that comfort and safety have to be factored in, and I wonder how something like this could be scaled up for high density living in a city. Then we’d really have something.

    • @sunspot42
      @sunspot42 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I wonder if the charred wood cladding is somewhat fire-resistant. The cork panels would definitely be fire-resistant, although the vegetation is too close to the house, which is probably the greatest fire risk. The gravel on the roof would be fire-resistant, so there’s that.

    • @Rancorous_Redwood
      @Rancorous_Redwood 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Charred cladding is relatively fire resistant, and it's worth noting that vinal siding is common in wall systems that cover cardboard structural elements, so it's not far worse than that.

    I would love to visit this place once lockdown is over interested in how he has built these boards with just dowels. Maybe it's on there page. Such a cool place to visit just outside Barcelona, nice one for the video👍😃

    More information on how the roof functions is welcome, overall an interesting concept.

    This is architecture itself lol. Except, the table as a ramp is will give out sooner or later as there are already signs of curving. The overall color of the house is organic but I think you can give a little more life to it with paint (+ decors). I love that shower space. The toilet area atleast needs a curtain.

    Cross laminate, a new name for plywood. Somebody need to study wood joinery.

    Was put off by the appearance at first but it is growing on me. I take it the steep angle of the exterior slats presents an advantage over horizontal or vertical shades. Where would I find more about that? Apologies if that was answered here; I tire easily and miss much.

    Definitely more practical than the last pre fab panel home they built. Here in BC 🇨🇦,CLP’s are being used in award winning commercial and multi story residential builds.

    This seems to be a colony where Kris Harbour would thrive, cutting trees, milling on site & then using the timber in natural architecture....

    I'm confused by the number of people who think insulting this man's intelligence is productive for any reason, not only is it massively hypocritical but it doesn't nothing but harm you. This man will never see these comment sbecause this is not his channel, so you cant use the excuse "constructive criticism". Not to mention the people who think that because they personally don't like a design aspect that automatically makes it bad? No, its just means you're ignorant for shutting down an idea immediately based off of the arbitrary and the optics

    I love the roof garden rain filter & the methane recovery system. These are things we can incorporate into the future.
    However, I don't know about spending 2 weeks self-isolating without food storage & a way to prepare it.

    Heat and cooking fuel come from the methane generation on the first level. I did not see their counterparts on the inside. Great build.

    Love the subjects of these videos, think I've watched every single one. I do wish the camera would be held steady though. It almost feels like it's intentionally this wobbly but I don't understand why.

    I love all of Kirsten Dirksen's videos and this one entertained me very much as well. However, I felt that this one wasted a lot of wood when a number of more efficient building principals might have made an equally interesting structure. Also, I shudder to imagine how utterly flammable this lovely little cabin is in this Spanish forest. Spain fairly lit up last summer! I think I might have chosen a nice stone house.
