Humble ( building ) materials

- Humble materials aren’t costly or luxurious, but using them in residential design doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice interest or refinement. Many architects find inspiration in the humble beauty of simple structures dressed in plain materials that are used honestly. These materials don’t draw attention to themselves or pretend to be something they’re not. They’re chosen to modestly serve their purpose.
In this video I review:
- Plywood
- Natural (unfinished wood)
- Live edge wood
- Exposed framing (clear and painted)
- Reclaimed wood
- Gypsum board (painted and unpainted)
- Commercial steel components
- Concrete block (CMU)
- Concrete sheet goods (Hardipanel, Cembonit)

I've been binge watching your videos. What I like is that your narration calls attention to detail and gives good information while moving at a relaxed yet consistent pace. The overall length let's me get through the entire video without getting bored. Also the noticable lack of annoying slideshow music and transitions is appreciated.
kind words my friend...many thanks...
Tad Eley yes, very professional and informative series.
Really love these tutorials. Smart and unpretentious talks while get to look at beautiful examples of whatever's being discussed. Hope he never runs out of subjects.
my father passed away in '08 after 57 years of home building, i'm determined to build our forever dream home in a humble way :) thank you for providing your exceptional understanding of the pre-build, the thoughtful considerations surrounding being conservative rather than layers upon layers of costly materials that increase the bottom line, not to mention the complication of too much esthetics - keeping it simple is my mantra :) and our resources are limited so we have to be conservative :) thank you for your enormous contribution to the project!
We carefully choose a beautiful grey colour for our finished basement. Turned out it was almost the exact colour of the unfinished Gypsum board. I have to say it's a peaceful space, we love it.
I've been re-watching your older videos, you used to make quite a few of these architectural essays if I can call them that way. As an architecture student, they are really valuable ressource to me. Thank you very much for they great chanel you built and the knowledge you share!
Very informative, and humble delivery. Thank you!
Great fun and interesting uses to consider. Thx
So informative thank you I would love to watch more of this definitions of materials ❤️
I'm so glad I subscribed!
Recently I was trying to paint some gypsum board that had originally been left bare. The surface paper fell apart when I tried to use a paint roller. I would recommend putting some kind of a coating -- mud or paint -- on it regardless of the effect you want.
Thank you for this!
Great work. Thanks
great content - I really like your videos!
A very unique content, humble maybe, strong statements call to a small group of people (client).
Really great and informative video! Is it possible to get your script?
wow great video
a (humble) thanks...
interesting to see the different materials. sure is miles away from this mundane pvc siding that's far too common here
Regular face brick didn't get a mention?
What's the name of that concrete block house shown at 6:20?
Hi, are you familiar with a light, insulated block called Ytong or Poroton in Germany? Not sure what it is called here, but I think I saw something like it at a simple builders show here in NW Michigan. Perhaps you have mentioned this material in a video?
Durisol is the closest I've come to an insulated block, however, I'm wouldn't be able to recommend that product...
Supposedly the Germans tried introducing them in Florida to withstand hurricanes, but my neighbor in Germany, who builds prefab concrete walls for half of Europe, told me the Americans would not stray from their "stick house" constructions! Not sure how true that is.... I'm sure there are other reasons. Anyway, I have to check if the product you mention is what I saw last year. Thanks for your response!
I suspect it's very true. Vested (commercial) interests in timber frame construction. The resistance to AAC use here in Australia is puzzling.
My sister-in-law used foam block on her house in Florida.@@janine4360
Michael Kmiotek is she satisfied with the results?
Let me correct this, concrete block from USA are nice and clean surface. But concrete block from Puerto Rico. u cant use them as material finish. U need to spoil and paint it.
1:36 the happy face on that kid made me lol hard
I love humble materials, but also noble materials. Or whatever they're called: brick, wood, stone, metal, tiles. I truly hate modern hi-tech materials, don't get me wrong, I understand there's a place for everything and the many advantages they offer, but I just don't like them and I consider they don't age well in general.
Plywood can be just as expensive as any hard wood boards
Plywood as an interior finish makes for a noisy space.
Nah
