An Architects Own Quirky Home Designed to Live Differently (House Tour)

- Jimmy’s House by MJA Studio is an architects own home that goes against the common ideas of architecture and interior design. With a big housewarming party, the owner was able to meet his neighbours as well as broaden their ideas of what architecture is and how interior design can be experienced. Located in north Perth, and surrounded by homes that have been subdivided, Jimmy’s House demonstrates the different ways in which one can design a home that incorporates gardens.
Traversing into an architect’s own home, the house tour reveals a laneway residence with a portion cut out for a parking space, with the front door adjacent. Moving into the dwelling, the tour of an architects own home reveals bedroom suites on the left of the house, which then expand out towards the summer courtyard space. To the north side of the structure is the studio space, which receives a wealth of natural sunlight. Upstairs, arranged in an L-shape, are the living spaces, which let in more northern light that then soaks the lower levels.
Across the form of an architects own home are three different garden spaces, and on the outside of the courtyard walls is the perimeter garden that contains all edible plants and trees. Within the central courtyard, the plants grown are medicinal and contain a series of plants, trees and shrubs that are used for teas and tinctures. The remaining gardens of an architect’s own home are on the roof space - these are used as a case study for how plants can grow in a green roof scenario. Additionally, these plants support local flora and fauna and become a place for birds and other life to find respite. As architect, interior designer and stylist of his own home, Jimmy Thompson, Creative Director at MJA Studio, has created a house that challenges what society believes to be a home.

Homes with this aesthetic say "fun" or "lived in". If I spilled my red wine, I would get laughed at, not scorned for ruining the $8,000 white rug. Don't get me wrong, I love contemporary homes including minimalist design, but sometimes my heart really feels this kind of home. Love that ladder to the roof! Anybody that is a child at heart would love to climb up on the roof! I love how it is a smaller modest home without any excess. Do we really need a 8 person dining room that we only use 3 of 365 days? And that amazing private garden courtyard, I am in heaven! The artist in me would be very comfy in a place like this. I feel relaxed just viewing it, I can only imagine living there. Nice job Jimmy! You win my vote for top 5 livable homes in Australia!
This is a great example of how to do a modern house and incorporate nature into it and also not worry about the clutter and worry about 'minimalism' that so often modern architecture seems to demand. This is the opposite of minimalist and it still works! Great, honest look into a real house without staging.
I don’t think there’s a box that this home doesn’t tick. Love everything. One of my absolute favourites so far.
same here, it's so well designed and thought out. you can tell this dude has a soul
so spot on, I'm actually jealous- and I'm not usually the urban living type-one of the best houses I've seen for a long time-totally agreee with you
There’s something about this house. It’s very true and authentic, without sugar coating. Bravo 👏
I’m lucky to live nearby and loved watching this being built and garden spill on to park.
I’ve said it before - showing a FLOOR PLAN would be an easy and efficient way to connect the visuals to the design concepts. Including these won’t take away from content included in the book. 🙏
Awesome house!!
100% agree! My brain needs to see the floor plan to put everything in context & see how it all ACTUALLY works together.
Yes! A modern design, owned by a creative who isn't doing minimalism, and it works! I appreciate minimalism, but I couldn't do it or live in it in my own home, even if I tried really hard. Not a hoarder, but a lover of beautiful things and stuff. I love the green life and the overall vibe of this house!
LOVE LOVE LOVE homes that are infused with as many plants and elements of nature as possible, its such a beautiful break from the monotony of walls and concrete!! ♥
Not just a spectacular house but a real spirited home. I would really appreciate if you showed better footage of the kitchen and the bathroom because the little we can see is stunning. I d love to own a home like yours Jimmy. Serene.
Yeah, some houses are so good they need an hour long episode.
Wow, talk about a home with a soul and atmosphere galore. Love the courtyard and insanely well though out architecture and material choices. Love the moody vibe and lived in look. The connection to nature especially the view of the garden is simply stunning.
Now, that's my kind of quirky. Love this house.
Awesome home with no compromise for gardening
Great to see finally a house that looks like people live in, great job
Finally… I have been searching for years on TH-cam for content like this. Thank you, Local Project. Keep up the marvelous work.
More to come!
there also another channel called "Never too small" which is also amazing!
I went past this home yesterday and its such a beautiful example of how architecture can make an environment better. It brings delight and real inspiration to a tastefully bland inner suburban area.
I like the "moodiness" vibe of the house, the use of concrete, shadows and plants that bring so much life/warmth to the home. Very nice.
Surely, food for thought.
Absolutely excellent! I think this home is my favourite on the channel. Love how much thought has gone into it. Aesthetics, light and the environment. Great job.
it's like he went into my brain and created my dream home - but from the looks of the comments, this is everyone's dream home. Absolutely beautiful.
Being creative and skillful may allow a designer to think outside the box. ✨
The smartest small home plan I've seen on TH-cam.
Please create another vid that shows more about the floorplan and living features.
The touch of personal curation that metamorphoses an aesthetic home into a dwelling that radiates a sense of uniqueness- the courtyard spaces are nothing short of magical. There is something profoundly endearing about glimpsing the external universe of Jimmy's home. From the perimeter garden to the central garden space and the rest perched on the roof, each element adds a layer of enchantment. I find it captivating.
Sometimes in looking at a home, you specifically like this or that about it. In this case, it was more like a heart-felt "yes" to the entire home. This is one I'll remember for a long time. Thank you.
Appreciate your vision and execution.
I'm loving Jimmy's house! Well done mate!
love the moody bar/kitchen, feels so relaxed and homey.
Not quite my personal style but absolutely stunning and a flawless execution - love the green spaces, multi-levels and wood interiors - Thanks for posting !!
Ingenious and beautifully realized!
Now make these design principles available to everyday home construction.
it's not an house. it's a place in the world. wunderfull
Quirky and beautiful, with that marvelous indoor/outdoor feel and great thought put into the light that comes through and the gardens all around and even above, making this a "green home."
Masterpiece! ❤
Quite simply the best house designed for now, with extraordinary detail inside and out.
If I ever own land I will be borrowing heavily from Jimmy's design.
Okay, just found my dream home ❤
Superb building
That was perfect. I love the use of brick tiling for pattern and porosity, and the green programming was well done.
Magnificent
My new dream home. I’ve been looking into home ideas that align with my spirit and love of life. Your entire design meets, and exceeds my vision. Mahalo for sharing.
A perfectly well thought out and executed design. Considerate to his neighbors, answers all of the inhabitants needs and fully compliant with the local regulations. He’s come up with something unique that has piqued the residents’ interest in architecture. Bravo Sir👍😎🤘🤙👊
Best maximalist decor in a super cool home! Love the lines and light!!
Wow what a stunning place to call home!
A urban jungle, with a bohemian twist celebrating the old meets now and the future.
Once I get rich will holler at yous....... you can transform my humble Melbourne boudoir into something similar to this!
Luvin this channel, thanks for sharing!
Love the light and airiness.
Sensitive, stylish and so welcoming! A real tour de force
beautiful house and brilliant use of space
SO much to love about this structure, wow! Even down to the details like the amazing artist's pallette side table (among many others). Really well planned, and well laid-out, right down to understanding how the light affects the home (bedrooms on the north side, very smart). It looks very calming and cozy, yet has a comfortable modern flair. And that roof is fantastic as well; however, aesthetics aside, you really should get some type of fencing around it. One unexpected trip on all that vegetation, and you could go sailing over, arse over teakettle!
Fabulous home and concept, the 100% green footprint is amazing.
Excellent! A+ Architecture & design! ❤
So wild and moody. I love how personal this project is. I can see myself actually lives here.
Beautiful home
Love this one.
Gorgeous work! And I had to giggle over the cat who looked upset about global emissions.
Absolutely LOVE your design!!
Jimmy is the business!
Love this home
I love the garden 😍
Absolutely Brilliant and Beautiful!!
Gorgeous
Absolutely brilliant…….🎉
Absolutely fabulous
Stunning house, loved every bit
Us too!
wow - love it
❤this house so much😘
Beautiful home. Just hope Jimmy’s neighbor with the pool and fully concrete back yard becomes influenced a bit …
Fabulous!👏🏻
love it!
great space
Im too distracted by the amok island cockatoo print I missed out on! But love the focus on vegetation, light & shadow
Congrats on 1mil! ❤
This has to be one of the best projects and I must say my dream home would definitely resemble something like this, Absolutely Love it!
love it.
Not a big plot but wonderfully utilised. Love the way nature and green space is incorporated into the home. Zany labyrinth of ‘cosyness’. I wonder how the plants on the roof are watered. Is there a reticulation system that turns on at certain times? And how much and how often?
I like it, I like it a lot
Good ideas♡
Would to have
seen a Floorplan!
Fab.
@0:53, that's a lived in house and not the manicured perfection of a Homes & gardens walkthrough. @4:50, that is a confined site. I see now why there is so much rooftop greenery. Delightful cats enjoying the sunshine.
house of the yr spectaculor its like living in a tropical oasis
The house is so beautiful and the idea of an internal courtyard is awesome because it gives you the outdoors yet total privacy from neighbours. I love this. The only thing I found disappointing was his statement about the area only being inhabited for 100 years. That was really tone deaf considering the inside had Aboriginal art as well. I know he didn't mean it like that, but it wasn't great. Apart from this, the tour was beautiful and it felt like a proper oasis. Thanks for these videos. They give insight into a life most of us will never afford.
Stop creating things to be offended about. If you rewatch and listen carefully he actually didn’t say it’s ONLY been inhabited for the last 100 years, instead merely referencing that period in time in relation to the current built form of the area….
Is there any way to turn this house "inside out" for a view lot? Man, have we got a parcel of land out of Prescott, Arizona that needs a house on it. 50+ mile views! ❤
❤❤❤
Great job, Jimmy. Really different and cool home. I haven't seen a home from Perth on the Local Project. Nice to see this one.
4:57 ❤❤
💚💚💚
Really interesting space. I'm curious where he keeps the litter boxes. Peculiar to talk about sustainability and also have the video bookended by car ads, however.
An interior that looks like the inside of a Charity shop
This guy seems like such a cool unique weirdo. I want to be his best friend and talk design with him.
🎉❤😮😊 liFE
👏
He said a mouthful. "Sub-divided" we're losing more and more liveable space!!! I love gardening, but apartments anymore give nothing to grow anything. No soil and of course no hose hookups. Limited space, but unlimited rent increases!! Too sad😢 Love this house and the natural, edible garden spaces. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
On the full moon you can hear Jimmy howling naked from the roof garden.
How do you control the insects and creeping creatures with all those plants in there?
A car commercial in disguise of an architectural video.
When he said ‘there’s a lot of life up there’ I thought🕷️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️🕸️🕷️😂😂😂
Mja studio
I love the home; how do you deal with neighbours being this close to the house? Or is it that you have to accept being surrounded by - assuming - noises at all times?
all part of the charm of a home like this. Living away from a city or suburb can be well....isolating. That internal courtyard looks like the best private retreat ever!
«Горшок. Спасибо, что живой»
I like the house and the video, BUT the "background" music is way too loud and the bass is driving me crazy. Please 🙏turn the volume down🎚⬇.
I thought it was Jim Thomson’s house in Thailand my bad lol
@Need some UK Properties, Its so bland here. Especially 2 bedroom terraced houses
It drives me crazy how they never show floor plates for these properties. Like do they want us to understand the architecture or not?
Please build my home
