    lm in New Zealand and saw your house years ago, which changed my life. I loved it, never forgot it and went on to buy a commercial building to live and work in myself . 7 years later now I adore my building and love how well it works for me … I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your inspired innovation : )

    Fantastic. I like that it was built about 20 years ago and still looks so modern. Really like the natural elements incorporated into the living space, and how apart it seems to be from it all while you can still see the rooftops of surrounding buildings. Very well done Jonathan.

    Saw this on another channel a few years back that had a little more footage and different angled shots on that relaxing courtyard. Between that and the trussed ceiling area alone has that place looking very nice. That brick wall has the color and look that just draws me to it, which is odd as I use to dislike the industrial look, not sure why, but man do I love it now. Thanks for posting.

      So I live in a stone house with no heating or insulation; sunlight only hits it until around midday and then it gets pretty chilly right after. You kinda just get used to it. We resort to loads of clothing and small indoor burners during the worst days (around -6C outdoors; -10 indoors), and it works just fine. Usually, our temps sit around 10 degrees Celcius, except during the really hot days, then we're thankful it's a cool house.

      @oliverbolton8302 3 роки тому +4

      Shaishannah Bennett think it was more of a comment pointed at Russian oligarchs and the likes moving money offshore by buying super expensive properties in London. Central London has extortionate pricing because of foreign investment, a well known fact. If you go out, it’s a bit more affordable. Queen’s Park is not off the scale. Admittedly, compared to areas just half an hour by train it’s laughable in terms of property prices but ultimately a couple with well paying jobs and a rudimentary understanding of saving could help get on the ladder there and climb it over time, with help from parents of course

      @oliverbolton8302 3 роки тому

      @@DeepThinkingGPU I am not too knowledgeable on the subject, but from what I understand New York was incredibly expensive in terms of overall living - plus people hated it there. London for the most part has people that love living there. Of course there are people moving away, because it is extremely busy and loud etc but it is still thriving quite a bit. It has a lot of attractions. Long term we will have to wait and see but big ticket sales for expensive properties are still happening a lot at the moment as per domus nova press releases. I don’t anticipate we will go to a 5 day wfh week, which should cause some people to stay in London. There is currently a stamp duty holiday (effectively a tax incentive) so that may be artificially growing demand for now. Let’s wait and see what happens following the end of the holiday

    I feel like there's this narrative that gets perpetuated online about the crafty, design savvy do it yourselfer who buys a run-down property in an expensive place and then puts in their own blood sweat and tears to transform it into a beautiful oasis with only a modest investment.
    As a new homeowner who got a deal on an architercturally fascinating house in a fancy area that needed some work, I feel like this story is just flawed. It's not the hard work, although holy shit I've never worked so hard in my life. It's the amount of monetary investment involved in making even small changes, not to mention things like permit requirements and associated costs. The idea of DIY gutting a building and remaking it into something beautiful on the cheap like they so often show in these videos is just a myth.
