    looks amazing. As a plantsman I am not exactly clear on how you are going to manage the trees or the fernery behind the glass panels; how you are going to clean the glass or how you are going to mitigate root damage and stop the trees stretching up to the light and thereby obscuring their original form. Its a perfect place for moulds to take hold without any air circulation around the base.

      I thought the same. But I think without the tree and with some practical repairs, it wouldn't even lost the magical effect and it could be almost the same

      @AnnSarasvati หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s a beautiful plan. I love how you incorporated the derelict stone gable end and the dormer window. Yes, some practicalities would need to be addressed like how to clean the windows around the trees and tree growth. But the ideas are so creative.

      This plan is quite innovated, but the ultra modern is so cold. I love your thinking. Deconstructed apple pie is what you’re going for. The warmth of a cottage is missing. Cottage to monolithic is such a contrast to heritage. ~just a little ‘ole historian

    Incredible! Absolutely gorgeous architecture. The fact that you have respect for the old while also minimizing the impact of the modern structure, while maintaining a sense of grandeur in small footprint building is exceptional. I hope you can continue your profession for a while. I'm studying architecture myself after having finished a bachelor in urban planning. While I'm nowhere near as talented as you, I hope in the future I could collaborate with you on building my own home. It would be an honor!

    Love what you did with the roof level and access to the great outdoors. Also as a horticulturist the plants behind the glass over time get bugs, disease then die. An open space there would be a fun workplace. Love that the building can be saved and re-purposed and your approach to it.

    Contemporary architecture/interior design is typically not my thing, but it's done so well here. It's not flat, boring, and devoid of detail, even though it's very minimalist. I love the interior courtyards full of plants!

  • @sarahtyster7342
    @sarahtyster7342 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

    I absolutely love it, it's very very beautiful, my concern is the planting - a lot of trees will find it quite hard to grow upwards and planting fully grown will be problematic without a proper irrigation system. likewise the ferns. I'm sure that given teh cost of this build all that would be put in, but a rootball of a tall silver birch will be pretty bit, c.f. the size of the internal courtyard, and likewise if it's too free draining the tree will die. I've seen three new large silver birches die in a much larger space for the rootball after being put in. these are just gardening thoughts on those issues, but the design is absolutely incredible.

    • @gemmawheeler
      @gemmawheeler  หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      That’s very interesting and absolutely not my area of expertise! We put a full grown silver birch in a small courtyard of a new build and as far as I know it didn’t have any issues by the time I saw it again several years later. Again though, I know very little about trees so maybe didn’t know what signs to look for. This is the beauty of seeking out specialists to answer these kinds of questions!

  • @shawnw.4440
    @shawnw.4440 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I so appreciate the time you take to explain your thought process during the creative planning. This interpretation of finding the balance between respect for the historical past and the modern convenience is your best work thus far. There is so much intrigue in the design that a resident would never be bored living there contrasted with so many common banal, slick and soul-less contemporary homes. Thanks!

    An excellent applied solution as always, Gemma. The brevity of the forms belie the clever articulation of spaces to a precise fit, very well done. I've often struggled to convince clients the value of open living space being situated above the sleeping areas as I've always felt the ground floor in many small footprint sites always competed for space.

    If the site and view are accurate, then I think it's a wonderful decision to create a reverse floor plan to take full advantage of the views from the upstairs living areas.

    Beautiful, as always.

    Amazing!! Flipping the living and sleeping spaces was such a good idea. The bedrooms are cosy, with the amazing views of outdoors and the courtyards with the stone walls. The living room and dining room also have fantastic views, and that great piece of stone wall integrated into the space. I'd love to sit out on that terrace, surrounded by the old roof line.
    By adding the addition, you were able to save the old roofline, instead of being forced to build up to create more space. There are views of the old building's walls from just about every window in the house, and that's what I love the most about this design.

    So gorgeous and creative! I really love the look of this amazing transformation. I have some practical questions... How do you get into those internal courtyards to weed, water, add/subtract plantings, and wash the glass? Since the old masonry is unprotected from weather, what keeps it from continuing to crumble around you? And in that beautiful living area upstairs, is there a way to put a rail or wall to keep you from tumbling down those stairs without destroying that beautiful view?

    • @cherivanhoover9663

    • @gemmawheeler
      @gemmawheeler  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi! Thanks for the thought you’ve put into this! So you could hinge one of the glass panes for each of the courtyards to gain access for maintenance. The stonework you would restore and stabilise as part of the construction process and could be maintained as normal too. And for the internal stair there is actually a glazed panel to protect from it - I rarely go for glazing in this way but couldn’t miss out on that view! Thanks again!

    • @gemmawheeler
      @gemmawheeler  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I know it’s one of those things that would make all the difference to know! I deliberately don’t talk about it as costs vary enormously by location - across regions let alone countries - so would worry I was misleading people if I speculated on this. The best way of estimating costs is from the advice of a builder working at a cost/m2 for a mid to high level spec. They usually require detailed drawings to be able to do this but you could find out if they are seeing patterns emerging at any given time.

    Fascinating duality and the dark materials as a manifested shadow concept is lovely. But one can see into the bedroom from the hallway and the upstairs 😅

      @@gregpendrey6711 Good idea! Or even some kind of curtain for when people need to get changed or want some privacy for other reasons

    This is really fun, I love the way it reimagines something many of us will have seen in a way that embraces the history

    Oh Gemma- your designs always bring me SO MUCH JOY!!! The renderings on this one, with the beautiful sunslhine creating golden light and shadows, were STUNNING ! My imagination is always ignited after seeing your vlogs! Wishing you a very happy holiday and a wonderful New Year! Xo from Canada ❤️

    I really love the design, but do wonder: where are all the utilities kept, like hot water boilers, heating, electricity, ventilation etcetera... 🤷‍♀️
