Good video, as always. Interesting to see new places apart from seeing new sketches

[@perevision]

What an amazing house! Love your adventures

[@donnabuttons1]

What a lovely idea to invite your group there to sketch... what a nice guy.
(Loved Drewscape's sketch 👋😃).
Thanks for making another super video Teoh 😊🙏

[@leonieandrewsart4137]

Can't wait to go here next time we visit. I have seen the house from the outside and always wondered what it was like inside.😊

[@teohyc]

Me too. I did not even know it’s this old

[@Drewscape-art]

Good historical record combined with the art of urban sketching! Kang Sua is the guy to ask about the details about such places.

Lovely video Teoh. Many thanks. Wonderful sketches and a very interesting and historic house.

Very interesting it all is! Those dragon sculptures are so cool! I think of all the time put into them. Thank you so much!❤️

Thank you for bringing us to this beautiful place!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

This place is a feast for eyes😊

[@christinelazarides8916]

Beautiful home!

[@PaulaBean]

There is much visual complexity in the house ornaments. Personally, I like no clutter in my house. I would go mad if I lived in that house...

[@teohyc]

That’s the style of the past. Interestingly applies to other continents in the past too. Eg Sagrada Familia. Modern architecture just goes with clean.

[@PaulaBean]

@@teohyc Photos of Victorian interiors (from the UK, 19th century) give me a claustrophic feeling, too. And I can remember my grandparents having fugly furniture, made of heavy oak, ornamented with swirls, ball legs, and coachman's lanterns. 🤪

[@tsoiyuz]

I think it’s balanced out. The walls are quite plain, and the mansion itself is so airy and open. Love that highly ornamental, old style. I’ve passed by this building countless of times and admired how distinct it looks just slapped down in the middle of giant glass buildings.

AWESOME. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU.
