@@carlossaysroar I believe they must have some control measures put in place for that. Personally, I would incorporate sliding glass windows or screens as a second internal layer to prevent mosquitoes from getting in when the wooden panels are open. One could also design the house in a way that isolates each space internally. So internal doors connecting each room so that each space can be controlled remotely.
I thought exactly the same thing. My friend from India said to me once, "Americans are outside smart, inside stupid." I laughed hysterically. He was spot on. I've traveled around the world and I've seen how generations of families live together. It's beautiful. It takes pressure off of the parents from having to watch the kids 24/7. The children keep the grandparents young at heart and the grandparents pass on wisdom to the grandchildren. Grandparents are sent away to die but are surrounded by loved ones. At least that's how it's supposed to work. It's a win-win-win for everyone.
I agree. With the third house there was no paint anywhere, no glass windows, and no lighting in the bathroom. Ingeniuos and specific to the warm climate in Oaxaca, Mexico. I highly doubt an international architect would have been this sensitive to this environment.
I agree with you. I loved everything about it. It was just as devoid of clutter as the other ones but full of earth tones and nooks and crannies. The lighting was amazing. Simply gorgeous !
No light is the bathroom seems a bit extreme. I'm all for the environment, but avoiding a led lamp saves virtually nothing. It's in mexico, take advantage of all the sun and make the house self sufficient in energy.
@@simioni I love no light in bathroom. It's made of concrete and theres no windows. You have to slow down and do things the old-fashioned way. Light candles every day. If need be you can use a portable paper lantern or use a kerosene lamp too. I know here in New England rich people build second homes without any electricity. They'll have a $100 million Rothko hanging on a wall lit by a wrought iron candle chandelier.
certainly, everyone is a bit different and has his own preferences, therefore the only thing I consider interesting about the last house are those large timbermade windowshields and the roof. The concrete leaves an unfinished impression, it reminds of all those rather unpleasant public swim buildings. Unfortunaly the pictures do not inform us about the weather and temperatures that exist where the house is located, imho that's very important when its about architecture. Therefore my number one would be the second one with its three floors, and the first one for its surrounding nature.
I loved the 3 rd house. The poetic way they talked about their house, “the interplay of shadow and light” , “the way the light dances throughout the house”; the roof viewing platform, “so we can watch and be one with the cosmos”; “the blurring of boundaries”. I especially liked the great functionality and beauty created in a small footprint. The first house’s family members inter generational house was so well thought out and met everyone’s needs so well. I loved the different levels for the different members. I am sure this architecture will bond their close family even closer lots of shared memories. I liked the historical elements of the long generations of history of that family rooted in place in house two, and one.
With all the incredible architecture design and technological advancements available today I don’t understand why we have an affordable housing problem anywhere in the world. It can be done and done right and affordable.
hello, dwell! I am the fan of this channel. And i want to give u an advice which is please you guys show us more about the house details. really thank u!
A great house in my opinion has to be cozy, fun, practical, great design, easy to maintain, sustainable, inexpensive and timeless. I think the last house has all those elements and it’s a winner. Anyone can get in huge debt and build something very expensive, but not everyone can accomplish great architecture on a budget.
All beautiful homes but a little commentary: When listening to the second homes owner it made me think about 2020 . When we talk about issues related to the wealth gap, institutional racism, 2 americas, the pandemic and our current political landscape you see how people can be so thoroughly frustrated. Generational wealth created by land & property ownership is an incredible signifier of how the myth of the American Dream takes it form. How a small group of people were able to manifest generations of wealth and property ownership through obtaining a plot of land over 100 years ago while millions of hard working, struggling, tax paying citizens are supporting an economic system which they will likely never benefit from. This is the great paradox and challenge of our age. How will we balance the scales?
If you go to Minnesota you can probably get land on a lake for about $100k and then build a house with prefab for about $200-300k for a total of about $300-400k. Median home price in the United States is about $329k. I believe your issue with generational wealth due to acquisition and holding of income producing assets (stocks, bonds, rental properties, businesses), unequal opportunity due to where someone lives, legal discrimination based on where someone went to college if they went to college at all, and their race or gender. Not some family with a house on a lake in Wisconsin. If you are really interested in how our society got to the problems you feel are here you should read "The Meritocracy Trap" by Daniel Markovits.
Her parents worked hard to provide good life for their children maybe your lazy parents should have worked harder too. The lifestyle she is enjoying is her parents karma. It is a basic human r nature to want to see their offsprings prosper.
@@snow-rm3jx Do you not think that the Native Americans who her ancestor got rid of to steel their land land worked very hard for their families too? Do you consider that genocide to be karma? GFY.
@@lsamoa first of all it is wrong to assume that she is the direct descendent of somebody who took lands from natives maybe their family was poor and somebody decided to work hard and become rich.
The last home is a work of art, beautiful and simple, for bathroom I would have put a skylight and have soft lights, a bathroom needs to be more airy-more light; candle lights are nice at night only..the 2nd home design is nice but lacks warmth; the 1st home is really nice for big families..I prefer more wood in design of homes next to the waterfront..
Beautiful homes,! The last house is not the most practical home. You would be hard pressed in a lot of countries to build this structure with modern building codes. I would die to build with such freedom!
Why don't you name the architect of the third house in the description? Nice looking house but only works if you have people that clean the house every other day, without windows it is a nightmare.
Mosquito repellent incense and by experience most mosquitos enter houses between 5pm to 7pm. When its 8pm its probably inside your neighbors' homes already
@@arianaraquel1958 so, no bathroom breaks at night? You have to be Confined to the realm of the mosquitero? There must be some mesh that can be installed sandwiched between the slats, surely?
@@carlossaysroar just don't be a pussy if you wanna live in Paradise. A bite is going to happen sometimes. We have to deal with dengue , I personally had zika in the epidémic of 2016 cause I live 2 hours from where is that house (Huatulco) It is not a big deal, live goes on!
The first house cool and practical. The second house nice, but too far out there away from everything. The third house becomes typical b.s. of architects falling in love with themselves, and no light in the bathroom need to light candles and the entire outer walls allow for mosquitos to get in, met lots of these hipsters come on
showering with candlelight is an amazing experience...until u try showering after finishing a horror movie and the lights go out. yh no thanks. i grew up with candles and scary folklores, i'll take electricity over that any day.
*Warning: The following is a rant about architecture.* First off, all three of these homes are beautiful. Let's move on. There are two elements of architectural design that feel like scratching on a chalkboard: *1) Canned lights.* In every new build and in every remodel canned lights litter the ceiling. Canned lights look cheap. Canned lights emit harsh glaring light. Never have I looked up at recessed canned lighting and admired the soft, diffused light. They look like they belong in a department store, not in a home. Even in historic homes, where canned lighting never existed, they are plopped in everywhere because they are cheap, easy to install, and builders are too lazy to judiciously hang light fixtures. Architects who rely on canned lighting do not know how to control light. To make matters worse these canned lights are never on a dimmer switch. Canned ceiling lights are the bane of contemporary architecture. They are the acid washed jeans of our time. Then there is: *2) Paint.* Yes, the use of drywall and paint in a home needs to be left in the 20th century. Painting an interior is messy, a hassle, and must be repeated every few years. Floors, fixtures, and furniture are often damaged. If you live in a rental property or in an apartment paint may be the only option but, looking forward, architects need to embrace the *NO PAINT HOUSE.* I was stunned to see that the third home on this list did not use paint anywhere. Ingenious. Homes that eschew paint in favor of solid materials will age gracefully and develop a rich patina over time. Paint free houses have less maintenance costs and are healthier to live in. Moving forward in the 21st century with these two simple changes will make architecture better than it was before.
Most canned lights actually don’t look cheap at all.It just depends on the finish and the size.The part on less o paint and more natural materials I agree 100%.
Beautiful house, but so many people and all relatives, it's a recipe for disaster. Unless you have top notch sound isolation, several bathrooms and tv's. And shared Netflix ;)
Come on, you REALLY think she does it herself? I know lots of rich people. They work insane hours and they do NOTHING for themselves. Lol Certainly not clean.
The first house is gorgeous but the videography is way too distracting. The close-up pan shots across areas don't give a good sense of the space. Stopped watching
I know white paint is on purpose, but it looks horrible. I get the minimalism, but it looks horrible. I understand that a pure white lends itself to more inviting colors, but it looks horrible. No wonder Columbians are so fun. They live in color. This chic tho
Breathtaking... give me a break. The 1st one is a lame box in an overcrowded favela. Wouldn't live there if you paid me. The 2nd one is nice. The 3rd one is meh.
The third house is my favorite. I luv the wooden slats used around the home.
That last house is everything
Especially those sliding doors. Love the design and wood.
How would you control mosquitoes?

The third house is so simple and inviting. very close to my heart.
2nd house is just everything beautiful and simple
I like the Oaxaca Puerto Escondido house, it's Divine!!!
The picture of the beach in the living room is so amazing.
OMG the last house is mindblowing
The last house is gorgeous. I would've wanted to see more of the bathroom. A peek into the bedroom would also be appreciated.

All 3 houses are beautiful. Casa Cosmo its my DREAM!!! Thanks DWELL for share
The most beautiful family home i've seen yet !!!
Too many close-up shots on this one, I can't really experience or feel how spaces flow from one room to another in this house.
I hate that, wish people didnt do that. But its not my video i guess.

I agree with all of your comments. All of these homes were special for different reasons.
Gorgeous Oaxaca house at the end.
A stunner of a place.
The last house is amazing!
These homes are special especially because of the people and the space
Love the first house but grandma is on the top floor? Keeping her in shape🤔
Lol
Maybe the Wife should live on the Top Floor.
Help her to Loose Some Weight ????

The third house cost almost nothing to make because concrete is very cheap in Mexico. I do hope they have screens for mosquitos
Dwell's videos are always great. 👍
They describe their houses very well
second house for meeee wowww that lush greeeeeen grassss.
The 1st house, the top floor is for the mother?
I always wonder how if elders get sick and unable to climb the stairs?
they’ll send her to a nursing. while the sibblings to fight over the pent house.
I was about to comment the same thing
Who do you think owns just enough of it for the seniors tax freeze...? Lol
There’s literally an elevator💀
Love the video but find the music distracting. Makes it hard to hear the narration.
obv the last house is amazin
this is love....
The second house’s interior is like unseasoned chicken. So much potential, no flavor whatsoever.
I agree, its sterile like a hospital. Needs a pop of color.
@@Dayesleeper yes!
not surprising considering who lives in it :)
way too big, ugly and cold

Love to take baths with candle lights
Wonderful
Loved the Mexico homes....the others were more of the same
