An Architect's Own Family Home Designed to Stand the Test of Time (House Tour)

- An architect’s own family home is often an insight into their design ethos and the Melbourne home that Architecton Director Nick Lukas designed for himself and his family is no exception. Balancing the simplicity of rectilinear forms and raw materials such as concrete, steel and glass with elegant, detailed interiors, it is a contemporary family home designed to stand the test of time.
Externally, the architecture reads as a series of intersecting light and dark planes. Despite the abundance of glass, the front façade is deliberately closed, with a deep setback and double-height off-form concrete wall creating a sense of protection from the street. Operable black louvre screens create an additional layer across the glazing that allows the level of privacy and sunlight to be controlled.
The interior design continues the use of concrete but balances the rawness of the material with refined detailing and a contemporary yet timeless palette of natural stone and delicate Japanese ceramic tiles. The tiles are employed behind the bar in an effect that captures the movement and sheen of water, while in the bathrooms, Elba marble creates a sense of contemporary luxury. Glazing is strategically positioned to open onto views of the landscaped yard, in which the garden will grow and, with time, come to surround the home.
Exemplifying a unified approach to design, this contemporary home sees architecture, interior design and landscape all come together to create a place where the family can settle and put down roots.

I will never regret randomly finding this channel! All the work you put in every video is just superb!
Thanks Kenneth - we really appreciate it!
The Local Project 🤘🏽

Hear hear 👏
Algorithms are not random. This is like saying science is magic. But glad you enjoy it. Me too.
The details in this house is lit. It's bragging in the most humble way possible
Haha - very well said Dyrim!
This house giving me "Parasite" vibes
A few people have noted that! Such a great film.
Yess
Exactly
I was going to comment that also 😅😂
The feels
Imagine building a different house texture and all your neighbors have the same house and you're the one with a different type LMAO.
Better to stand out than blend in like sheep.
That's my problem with this design - it seems not to fit in the neighbourhood, not only in terms of materials, but also scale of the entire house and particular elements (unlike in most suburban houses walls and windows are huge, clearly separated surfaces)
You clearly haven't been in greece everyone's house Is a completely different architecture styleb
Pro gamer move right there
@An amazed cat
The colour palette could be changed tho
The materials used showing a lot of textures.. stunning beauty.
Yes, such a great use of materials - especially those tiles & the stone in the bathroom.
As a fellow Architect, this is really a masterpiece the little details throughout the house makes it very unique, it almost has 2 colours grey and black and they are dramatically well done. Kudos
This is like a movie that critics love for all the little nods and references to obscure old art films, but is a commercial flop because it's not entertaining.
@@scratchy996 Yeah I think there will never be something like a perfect house in all human existence. Actually in Architecture everything is unique even when ugly, however, there are bad designs though but this i dont think its a bad design. Its just not alot of peoples taste
@@IanbestSmith true, but sometimes even the best design can lack heart, and I think that's more important, if it truly wants to stand the test of time.
@@scratchy996 I am 100% agreeing with you on that Max such a strong point
th-cam.com/video/bQGEBEYPf9g/w-d-xo.html
Architects are artists. The exacting lines, the attention to detail. Love it.
the people actually complain about this house “it’s not looks like a real house” “it’s not cozy” “why the roofs are flat” sounds like the kind of clients that architects hate it, exists architects for every kind of tastes, but the most the architects love this kind of architecture.
Such a beautiful modern utilitarian home - very easy on the eyes but you need to recognize how modern designs are first.
@N S yeah ive seen some kind of house have that style, and it was soo beautiful. I would pay money for the house if i have enough 😂
i got a seizure reading this
@@lightyagami5760 this person might not completely know English 💀 lmao wack
I find it cozy tbh
The videography and the house is so deep like some sci fi thriller movie
Thank you (we think)..! 😄
the first black tiles they showed was magnificent! it does look like gentle running water!
Amazing aren't they! Artedomus do the best custom Japanese tiles - ever..!
@@TheLocalProject Which tile is used in this video? So beautiful. Hello from South Texas @artedomus
@@txstate117 I've narrowed it down to tiles from Inax in Japan. Havent found the exact tile yet.
@@hansteeuwen5330 same, also i have a hunch that it might not be sold online because it seems like its from a local factory in aichi
@@hansteeuwen5330 maybe this dude imported it through a friend
What a theatrical composition of light, texture, and volume! Divine!
Good "Aēsop" advertising
We wish they were a sponsor.. 🙃
This whole video is a complete cliché..
In Melbourne Aesop is a status symbol for middle class, like the H blanket on the bed
The Japanese black tiles are beautiful and stylish, I want those in my home
I love the little swing in the girl's bedroom
as an architecture student this is oddly satisfying
th-cam.com/video/klGi_WZ17U0/w-d-xo.html
The whole house is beautiful but, that bathtub and that bathroom are STUNNING.
It's our dream bathtub!
Gorgeous, slick clean lines love this house.
Yes, such a great family home!
This was honestly amazing and inspiring, I'm glad I stumbled across this video. I'm currently mid-way through my medical degree at the university of Cambridge and neck deep in student debt that my family is struggling to cope with, and I don't know why, but watching this has given me some hope and motivation to push through it all, and maybe one day I'll achieve something as beautiful as what you have achieved here, even though right now I'm in need of great financial assistance. So, Thank you.
We're so glad to hear Lumi and thank you for the kind words. We have more videos coming soon too which we hope helps get you through your degree (even just a little bit..!). Hang in there - it'll all be worth it once you graduate! 🙂
Bro this is the journey, your journey !
Walk through uncertainity, walk through pain ! There is something good at the end for you. prepare yourself for the suny days. Continue to work hard. Others have done it , you can do it too !
From a brother with same issues.
This home is breathtakingly Awesome!!! It definitely has a tiny fraction of homes in heaven! I am so grateful for this opportunity to have seen such benevolence in Architecture!.
One of the few videos that makes me proud and excited to be an architect. Love those tiles from Japan. Stunning. Well spoken by both gents.
Those black tiles are spectacular and what an exceptional choice in the vertical placement
Stunning isn't it!
Those dark green tiles are just unbelievable amazing!
Oh my goodness, this house is so me. Im gonna bookmark this and copy this when im gonna build my own home
Same
the attention to detail throughout this property is breath-taking.
Very beautiful! The materials used here are of very high quality.
The music and shots, insane.
Oh my - a free hanging fireplace. Love the 60's-70's. We have these all over Phoenix AZ. Because that is when it started to become a destination.
I absolutely love all your videos; every single one of them. Being able to see these amazing homes with such organic Architectural details are stunning! Thank you!
I love how their house is so different from everyone else's house in the neighborhood
This house is just a dream!
Yes it is! Such a stunning family home 😃
That's what i call an art! You're not an architect you're an artist. Seriously 😍😍
Might be the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen
I feel this is how a house should be. Such sleek and modern, yet not so loud or overbearing or extravagant.
I pity some people who invest millions in multi acre property with a pre built big house when they are a family of just a few members. This is a kind of house that they could have invested in. I guess it's not everyone's taste, or should I say, they have never tasted it.
Thanks for the comment Musaddiq!
design is minimalist...very post modern, futuristic...design is 50 years in the future...the best house design so far!
Exactly
Everyone has their ideal homes in mind, and him being an architect, I completely understand why he made his house to be the way it is. Very modern with lots of unique architectural designs. It’s very beautiful indeed! But personally though, it’s not my style. If God wills I get to build my own house in the future, i’d love for my house to have lots of light coming in (cuz I get scared of dark spaces), bright, airy, with a good amount of wooden textures inside, with green plants- to give off a Zen kind’of vibe. Because I want my home to be a relaxing place to go home to. I want it to be zen, homy & cozy, light and airy, but modern still! 😍
Pretty sure you just described his house exactly..
This was filmed on a rainy day, so who are you to say it's not bright?
@@DELPHIIII agreed, basically just the house in the video apart from "having a good amount of wooden textures inside".
Extraordinary. My favorite by far
I love the furnitures and materials used. For me the lighting is perfect not too bright but not too dark. Everything is elegant and timeless. This is not just a house this is a masterpiece.
Agreed, so beautifully furnished - Nick and his wife have excellent taste!
Very gray and rectangular. Makes me feel restless. Cozy is not a word I would use to describe this house.
I agree. These sort of designs are very common here in Australia and it really puts me off. Ngl, Aussies have a weird taste for anything
Their choice
Looks like the one from Parasite lol but I love it.
I agree. The audio Feels like narration to a totally different house from the cold expensive showpiece I’m seeing on screen
I feel like maybe the colors, but other than that it is very cozy. The restroom is beautiful, restrooms don't need to be cozy. But it isn't cold, the rounded edges, the natural light, all the textures. In in the other rooms too, flooded with light and interesting textures. The living room sofa is so graceful and comfortable looking
Love the waterfall look tiles!
Us too, thanks Jacob!
How can we get waterfall tiles?
I think this stunning home is my favorite of all the homes I've seen.. So far!
Individual tiles, stones, & other materials in this house is so beautiful!
TH-cam obscured part of the thumbnail image for this video so I read "An Architect's Own Family Home Designed to Stand the Test of Tim". That Tim must be quite confronting in person.
Tim is a menace!
@@TheLocalProject Just perfect
definitely built to last.
every architect’s dream - to build their own house and pass it down
I love how much his house stands out
truly felt the breathtakingness
Man do I love YT for recommending this absolute masterpiece to me. IMMA SUB
THANK YOU! Enjoy 😇
Normally I love homes like this. I love this style. For some reason the whole coronavirus has made me look at things differently and question how important some things like this truly are. Beautiful home but i realize it's not the most important thing. Not trying to be a prude. Life experience just opens my eyes. That's all.
very true.. i realized same
We appreciate the honesty Jeremy & agree that having a beautiful home is not always the most important thing in life!
What is the most important thing for you?
Absolutely!
This is the best minimalist house i’ve seen. Just perfect! It’s a solid one! 💯👌🏻
This is the best house in the world. For 30 years I have not seen a better home than this one.
Very masculine house.
Thanks Jefferson - Nick will be happy to hear!
Absolute dream, stunning and clean is an understatement for this house. Inspiring
We agree!
Blows my expectations
the finishes in this home are exquisite
chills !
A tuly special home!
oooh wow.. the textures in this home are amazing.
Beautiful aren't they - such a brilliantly designed home!
Beautiful Contempo minimalistic home!!!...this is my kinda design style....
Great job!
This channel and these homes featured on it are amazing.
Those Japanese tiles are beautiful.
Such a beautiful use of materiality throughout the home!
Agreed!
Who say only big home has personality even the small or med also got one ❤️
Exactly right! 😄
Many times the small homes have more personality than the bigger homes which look just huge and bland.
Love this house. My kind of style. It looks elegant and solidly built to last.
The emotionless response of these two matches
Someday I’ll have a house that resembles this one.
Absolutely beautiful home! 😍👏
It really is!
A structural work of art. You raise the bar sir!
Stunning. Contemporary, yet comfortable and functional. Love seeing the kids actually enjoying the space. Lucky kids! Why didn't I go into architecture...
Very cool place. Love the off-form concrete and the tactility of the Hagi ware tiles behind the bar.
A brilliant home and an incredibly lovely family! Agreed, the concrete work and INAX tiles are something special.
I'm not really a fan of modern houses but this look good.
Glad you like it Uwu!
Omg that tile❕😍
Clean, textured, functional, artful, spectacular.
The architect look so young and he achieve so much. Well done. A beautiful architecture home
Nick is an incredibly talented man and an absolute pleasure to work with!
@@TheLocalProject indeed he is. I love the design aesthetic and his choice of material. Those tiles are exquisite and elegance
Love the evolution of the videos guys, definitely your best one yet 👏👏
Great to hear, thank you!
This house is art itself. I cant even..
This undoubtedly resonates the notion of an "Ideal home". From the Tadao Ando's Concrete on the farcade to the interior finishes. These materials are cohesively magnificent. Is there an access to the floor plans of the home?
Brilliant analysis! We don't have floor plans unfortunately..!
Please don't compare this to Tadao Ando's work. This is far from it and just because this house uses the same materials or tries to, does not make it to that of Tadao Ando. To me this house is more about materiality and the very expensive products they used rather than talking about the design itself and what this house offers through its design that makes it more successful than standard homes. Well done to the architect for achieving his vision though.
It has some zen characteristics in it.
It certainly does!
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Built to last. Love it
Amazing production guys! Captured the home perfectly despite some classic Victorian weather ;)
Glad you enjoyed it - and yes, clouds & rain all day while shooting this one..! 😬
This is a masterpiece !!
Couldn't agree more - such a beautiful home.
As an Architect myself, I do love this home...and I believe it speaks to a home as a home.
Completely agree Roy!
It's just a priceless masterpiece
Beautiful walls, they do have their own character.
They certainly do!
Amazing authentic beautiful house
Well thought superbly executed home for anyone! If we have the opportunity to build our retirement home! This is a 5 star project, BRAVO!
Such a beautiful home isn't it! Glad you like it 🙂
Just beautiful design. Thank you for sharing.cheers!
MASHAA'ALLAH... Beautiful & Serene. Stay blessed & happy with your family in this dream house of yours!
It's gorgeous. What's the size of the house? How many bedrooms and bathrooms?Also, what's the total cost to build something like that?
Glad you like the house! It's 3 bed, 3 bathrooms - approx. AU$1.5-2M we're estimating..!
@@TheLocalProject There go my hopes and dreams.
Stunning ! Great video .
Glad you enjoyed the video! Such a beautiful home.
Modern design is timeless.
I just subscribed. Story-telling and video-editing are spot on!
I like modern architecture and this home is nice! But alcochol in front of dinner table realy not making sense... even near children which every time sees it... but overall is pretty good.
Feels cold, dark and gloomy, this kind of house is more suited for bachelors.
I believe there's a Kurzgesagt video about how city dwellers' mood is affected by the artificial Square and Rectangle shapes they see all around almost every minute of their lives.
Feels great for a very luxurious arbnb or a hotel design, but it doesmt feel like a home for me
Does this mean a child raised by parents that lived in apartment has never experienced a homely upbringing?
@@pulanala1421 umm no not quite. You see, this place looks nothing like a 'normal' apartment. So comparing this to an apartment has no purpose.
A kid raised in an apartment would probably experience a homely upbringing, assuming it's a normal sized place with both parents home.
They design homes with the different seasons of the year in mind. This video just happened to be filmed on an overcast day making the home appear to be cold and dark. On a clear summers day, the large windows will allow fro plenty of sunlight to flood through and brighten up the rooms.
Love the style. Perfect size. Ideal is the word.
Magnificent!
Wow, how's the kitchen! Can only imagine the feasts that would be prepared there! 🤤🤤
Certainly a special kitchen & home - many a feast would have been prepared & consumed there..! 🍕🍷
This is one sleek house.
Yes it is! 🙌
beautiful home thanks for the video
Beautiful modern architecture house.
You deserve way more subs for this type of quality videos...! Rare to find...
Thanks Mr. Bond - very much appreciated! 🙏
Absolute goal.
HUGE goals!
The Local Project TH-cam is always well watched.
Since the house was built by an architect, the design interior definitely stands out.
What's even more surprising is that the video quality is very good.
Original and delicate interiors With sheer dedication, the final product is usually stunningly beautiful. GooD!
Just stumbled on your channel and it's made me fall in love with architecture again.
If I ever build my own house, it will look exactly like this!
You have great taste!
