    The Monterey Spanish style embodies the elements of architecture I am drawn to: for example, the second story balcony, the stucco walls, floor to ceiling windows, et al. This style also imbues a classic but informal facade. Warm and welcoming with a more rustic quality which allows for flexibility inside and outside. Landscapes can be designed with formal gardens or natural organic ones. And, of course, a mixture plays well with the versatility of the architecture. Most importantly, the design isn’t pretentious but certainly elegant.

    outstanding insights!. I am an EE designing an ADU on an existing lot with a home that meets the maximum size criteria, but is for the most part wheelchair accessible 🦽on the main floor. I grew up in Monterey and was endeavoring to incorporate a Monterey Revival style as per your video. I have read all the “ Not so Big House” books and used Sara’s ideas, but my 1150 SF doesn’t allow for everything 😂 My daughter likes the current design iteration that was originally just a single level with lower pitched intersecting shed roofs with clerestory windows for light. I use Punch Pro 3D CAD, so it s pretty straightforward to alter. Thanks so much for your ideas on poor design. Just finished the cantilevered porches today🤗Happy trails from Austin City Limits Texas 🎸🪗🎺🎷🎻🪕🎹

    • @TheHomeDesignMentor

      About ten years ago, Houseplans dot com was selling some of the Eichler house plans. A handful were built in Palm Springs over the last few years. But that website is not selling the plans any longer. You can certainly come up with a facsimile of an Eichler house designed for today's standards. Check out my website at midmodpad dot com. I sell variations of the theme there.

      Thanks, so glad you found it engaging! I don't know the architect for this place, but it is in the Movie Colony area of Palm Springs. The architecture is also reminiscent of Edward Durrell Stone, and it has a round shaped living room behind that rock wall. Very chic in the day, for sure.

    Does Turner's book cover the Greek orders at all? I've not found a great reference for Doric or Ionic entasis since it varied so much

    • @TheHomeDesignMentor
      @TheHomeDesignMentor 2 роки тому

      Yes, it does! It has extensive illustrations for the Parthenon as well a few other detailed plates on other Athenian monuments. As for the Greek entasis, it's hard to find much about it because it did vary so much. I think it was quite individualistic per building.

    Great to see literacy with Classical style. I've paid close attention to mansions and they always get classical wrong. Typically using random columns, made up proportions, and shoebox rooms. I have a feeling the majority of modern architects can't take on a project like this and execute faithfully. Bravo!

    • @TheHomeDesignMentor
      @TheHomeDesignMentor 2 роки тому

      Yes, there is much bad architecture out there, both classical and modern. They don't teach classical design in most universities these days. It's a shame, because it's an extraordinary exercise in scale and proportion, two touchstones of architecture. Of course, my creation or anyone else's can be scrutinized, but for heaven's sake, it's not that hard to learn the proper classical vocabulary. Some books on classical architecture are free too, check on Amazon. Learn it, it's so fascinating! Thank you for watching.

      Yes, this was thought about quite a bit. Sound insulation can help, but the idea is to have a lookout on the little ones in case they need help or are in distress. Even if they are misbehaving, you want to know about it for their discipline. Imagine if they were running amuck in another wing of the mansion. That could be problematic too. It's a balance.

    This is a priceless video. Thank you so much for walking us through the construction. I'm studying Classical Architecture to get my proportions right and this video really helps to illustrate all the nuances. P.S. It would be amazing if you'd find the time to make similar videos. I'm mainly struggling with Ionic and Corinthian capitals. I have 9 years professional experience in SketchUp and yet modelling those capitals seems impossible to me.
