Despite the architectural qualities, one of the reasons I love Eichler homes is the fact that Eichler was one of the first American developers to adopt a non-discrimination policy. I read somewhere that he even offered to buy back the homes of buyers who were uncomfortable with the fact that black families would be his neighbors. What a great spirit!
The Eichler is the quintessential Californian Architecture in my opinion. I have done dozens of as-built drawings of many variations of these homes and they are all spectacular!
I dont know that this narration gave as much detail or emphasis to the architecture that I'd like but having said that... I love the direction of the edit and seeing perspectives from the nature and the liveliness of people through the space. You guys always deliver incredible visuals of these projects and Im constantly in awe of how you're pioneerring the presentation of architecture videos
one of my all time favorites! the attention details in architcture landscaping and furninishings is on a modern perfection level!! nice job to the homeowners also!
Loved the integrated duality, on this project, so much. It's so well aligned and achieved to the point of not being obvious if it was rather a house built inside a garden or a garden built inside and around the house. A genuine *sigh* of love from me to you, beautiful nature in the house in the nature.
Definitely captured the modern home vibe. I feel like you'd have to wear sunglasses inside more often than outside! LOL The entry courtyard is amazing.
definitivamente este proyecto es mi favorito.😍😍Estoy encantado con el concepto y su estética naturalista. creo que en la modernidad es importante diseñar las casas para que sean santuarios para relajarse y desconectarse de la rutina acelerada de la ciudad.
I always think the same thing; you couldn't pull that off in southern Alberta, Canada! I love that open air architecture. Guess I need to move to California.
Hermoso concepto de pensar en las áreas verdes antes que en en el concreto. Mal por the local proyect pues no ves más de la casa, detalles que este parece solo estética y sombras.
I just don't understand how we have celebrities with millions, billions of dollars, and barely any of them have any houses as beautiful as this. If I was rich, I'd pay an architect to give me a house like this
Unfortunately this video is falling back into the same pattern of not showing the actual architecture of this structure. The last few videos seemed to have made the conscious choice to show more of the homes spaces and transitions and thankfully some drone footage to show neighborhood or topographic context. This seems more like a commercial for some type of picket fence stereotypic American lifestyle. Please put more emphasis on the architecture and not a 100 percent overly romanticized propaganda short films. Don’t want to be harsh because the production value is good but seems extremely surface driven.
Which is what makes The Local Project so good. Each project is unique and captures what the author wants use to see and feel. Brilliant work as always.
I think what is potentially missing is arguably the foundation of design literacy: the FLOOR PLAN. It would be so beneficial to ground and orient the viewer to the concept. The visuals would then articulate and reinforce what the goals were. Shots of bark and plants doesn’t help understand the indoor outdoor connection but a plan showing the courtyard and all the openings would. You raise a good question about how one might think they are communicating design and how design is actually communicated. If we reflect and ask ‘What is the take away here? What did this content reveal or demonstrate about successful design? What is going to make me remember this piece of architecture?” I’m not sure I could respond with anything more in depth than ‘courtyards are good?’. 🤷🏻♀️ They didn’t speak about zero thresholding, or continuity of materiality between inside or outside, or the size of the openings, or view lines, or how the courtyard and backyard relate etc. etc. and relate it back to the plan… Never Too Small do a great job of showing how the architecture works, you might enjoy their channel.
I really wanted to see more of the house and how all the spaces interact together. The gardens are beautiful, but I feel cheated as far as the house goes.
I love the incorporation of nature into the house, how airy and open it feels and how intimate at the sometime. One issue is that, to me, it feels too white. It has white wood ceilings and beams, white walls and light grey floors. I wonder how it would look like with natural wood ceiling vs. white-painted one? maybe it's deviating too much from the original mid-century design?
The choice of having the primary bathroom be so transparent to the inner courtyard, and thus all the public spaces of the house, is really weird to me. I get wanting to open the bathroom into the space, but unless you live alone the lack of privacy would just be too weird to me.
Sunnyvale native here. Raised in an Eichler. Why was Eichler never mentioned, student of FLW. Nor did you mention that these homes are historically protected and can only be modified in a limited way. This video implies you designed this house. This is a tract home Eichler. Kind of implied taking credit for Eichler design.
I usually enjoy these videos, but there were too many close up shots here that I couldn't get a feel for anything the floor plan in this house does. I kept thinking they would close-up a paper clip. If there is a site with the house featured, I would like to see it because the house seems like something I would like, outside of the close-ups on the plants, the kids toys. Oh and the woman's voice was so off-putting I had to turn off the sound, then when it got to the kid on the patio chair, I gave up.
I was so excited to see a house in Sunnyvale on this channel - Bay Area native here! The home is beautiful, but I had to stop watching the video. The vocal fry was annoying af. They both sound so pretentious.
Sadly this channel has made the choice of showing homes without actually showing them. I love the home choices but i wish someone came after them and just gave me a house tour video, so i can understand what im seeing
Her voice really distracts me, I can clearly hear it is forced to go low. Some Americans do that, I don't know why, I guess there must be a sociologic reason.
What's the point of an atrium? It always looks so goofy Edit: Unwatchable due to the cuts every 2 secs. Absolutely nauseating. Stop being so pretentious

@1:14ff, The seamless lines of the tiles running from inside to the outside was a well thought out touch.
Despite the architectural qualities, one of the reasons I love Eichler homes is the fact that Eichler was one of the first American developers to adopt a non-discrimination policy. I read somewhere that he even offered to buy back the homes of buyers who were uncomfortable with the fact that black families would be his neighbors. What a great spirit!
The Eichler is the quintessential Californian Architecture in my opinion. I have done dozens of as-built drawings of many variations of these homes and they are all spectacular!
give the videographer/editor a raise!!! 😍 very beautiful house. Perfection!!!!
I love the effect of entering the front and walking through a garden. Great design and a beautiful house. Lots of natural light.
Every two or three videos, I see my dream house design. I love this channel.
🥰
Great example of architecture & design functionality meeting family's personality creating what a true home should be in the end.
My favorite here was the garden full of beautiful plants. It really stood out & adds the element of calmness in this home. Thanks Local Project
You are so welcome!
Just watching this episode made me feel so relaxed, I loved the zoned but open space living
I dont know that this narration gave as much detail or emphasis to the architecture that I'd like but having said that...

Can't express enough what a great job you guys do capturing and conveying the feel of these homes, it's so relaxing! ♥️
one of my all time favorites! the attention details in architcture landscaping and furninishings is on a modern perfection level!! nice job to the homeowners also!
謝謝！
Thank you!
Wow this is so beautiful, the sense of openness and transparency is incredible, and the landscape is amazing, thanks for sharing this with us
Our pleasure Isaac!

Ive been waiting years for someone to capture this house on video
Amazing space! It's a feel good home. What a peaceful place for kids to grow up!
Definitely captured the modern home vibe. I feel like you'd have to wear sunglasses inside more often than outside! LOL The entry courtyard is amazing.
The woman's voice fry was so strong that felt as if she didn't even want to be talking at all.
Actually had to stop watching the video because her voice was so annoying. Beautiful house though.

Absolutely stunning! What a joyful home
May god bless this family even more.
This is a beautiful build. Must be nice to live in an environment that enables an open architecture. Try that in the Midwest or South USA. 😅
I always think the same thing; you couldn't pull that off in southern Alberta, Canada! I love that open air architecture. Guess I need to move to California.
Amazing! Truly made with the heart.
The editing in this video is so cool
Really beautiful and cosy house!
So beautiful! It’s dream! Bravo 👏🏽
What a stunner. Very well thought out and peaceful.
Great work as usual. It's lovely to have you in California!
Thank you, it’s good to be here!
Seems like a very happy home
this is a beauty
The house with it's spaces and gardens is incredible...and then you live in Sunnyvale 😅
I love this house so much. Thank you for making this beautiful video! 🙌🙏😍
Прекрасный семейный дом по домашнему уютный дети бегают играют счастливы и это главное спасибо
Great work!
너무 좋아요...
SUNNYVALE MY HOMEEE ❤
Man, the vocal fry on these two. T.h.e. h.o.u.s.e i.s g.r.e.a.a.a.a.t.
Cool garden/house design.
❤❤❤❤ gorgeous home
I absolutely love this!
beautiful home.
Hermoso concepto de pensar en las áreas verdes antes que en en el concreto. Mal por the local proyect pues no ves más de la casa, detalles que este parece solo estética y sombras.
all i want is an indoor garden in my future home
Thank You ... Well Done ...
Amazing project. Surprised to see a Ukrainian flag near the house number! 😎
Good work, come to Palm Springs !
Coming very soon! 🙂
Amazing
I want to believe that there is something wrong, because from here it looks so darn perfect.
nice house! personally not a fan of the square tiles being all over but other than that it looks great!
I wouldn't mind to see something like this in Canada. 😂
Love Sunnyvale, love Eichler, good landscaping. But please skip the music, or turn volumn way down.
I just don't understand how we have celebrities with millions, billions of dollars, and barely any of them have any houses as beautiful as this. If I was rich, I'd pay an architect to give me a house like this
beautiful home but I would feel very anxious at night..

All the American videos are just not as heart warming… just my opinion

I agree I feel like I didn’t get to see the actual house or decor which I really enjoy.
I really wanted to see more of the house and how all the spaces interact together. The gardens are beautiful, but I feel cheated as far as the house goes.
Stunning, luminous home. I could do without the designer’s California voooocaaal fryyyyyhy…
It's beautiful! Loved the Ukrainian flag :)
Would have loved to see some ‘before’ shots
I live in sunnyvale!
I love the incorporation of nature into the house, how airy and open it feels and how intimate at the sometime. One issue is that, to me, it feels too white.

Great editing and shits on this one!
Psssst! That maple needs more room for its roots.
Love the openness and airy vibe
The choice of having the primary bathroom be so transparent to the inner courtyard, and thus all the public spaces of the house, is really weird to me. I get wanting to open the bathroom into the space, but unless you live alone the lack of privacy would just be too weird to me.
Beautiful house! Watched as much as I could before the vocal fry drove me out.
Lush lady garden indeed
100% сад есть , дома нет , нужен садовник , реклама магазина растений
oooff... that vocal fry
I could not get through their grating voices, turned it off and just watched the images of the interior.
😍
♥♥♥
Cute
@3:36 is that a maple tree?
Japanese maple
The house must have a a lot of echo if I can hear it through the video.
I love when your editor is on acid!
Noice! Video production is right out there - on the verge of intrusive maybe.
vasadhi, vaipu
The vocal fry used by both presenters is distracting.
It seems like your main goal was White paint.
The problem with this property is the small lot it sits on.
Sunnyvale native here. Raised in an Eichler. Why was Eichler never mentioned, student of FLW. Nor did you mention that these homes are historically protected and can only be modified in a limited way. This video implies you designed this house. This is a tract home Eichler. Kind of implied taking credit for Eichler design.
Too much about the “feeling” of the house. Would love to have seen more about the actual redesign, layout, materials, before/after etc.
The home is good but you should definitely speak from throat.
bismillah
Hope that toddler doesn’t fall in. No pool gate???
I usually enjoy these videos, but there were too many close up shots here that I couldn't get a feel for anything the floor plan in this house does. I kept thinking they would close-up a paper clip.

House is beautiful but the amount of voice frying of the architect is just too much!

Sadly this channel has made the choice of showing homes without actually showing them.
I love the home choices but i wish someone came after them and just gave me a house tour video, so i can understand what im seeing
Surprising to see people let such little kids run by a pool like that.
The background music on this video sucks. Too bad for the architect.
why is she talking like that?
First time in a video I hear both, a female and a male, speaking in vocal fry.
Why is everyone on this channel talking like they have a pair of fish in their throats?
Not trying to be mean but i think the garden will be a big hassle to maintain.
that SoCal vocal fry is turned all the way up 😑...
Her voice really distracts me, I can clearly hear it is forced to go low. Some Americans do that, I don't know why, I guess there must be a sociologic reason.
What's the point of an atrium? It always looks so goofy
Edit:
Unwatchable due to the cuts every 2 secs. Absolutely nauseating. Stop being so pretentious
You couldn't find a worse music to annoy your subscribers within seconds, could you? 😂
That blonde’s affected vocal fry made it unbearable to watch and listen
It was difficult to listen to, sounded painful.
exactly
What is wrong with the woman’s voice? Is she alright?
Such a nice house, such an annoying vocal fry!!!
Saw like... one room. Using 1000 camera tricks.
everything about the house is perfect, except for the lady's made up accent
music bad
