How was the audio? I made some tweaks, so hopefully it feels more natural than the last one!
Didnt even notice it, which is always a good sign!
Much better, thanks you!
I didn't notice it either so the tweaks must have definitely helped you come across more natural 👍
Think the audio itself was fine, just the acoustics of the space didn't help.
I was only conscious of the audio when you were commenting on the fiber artwork helping to keep the bedroom from echoing. I noticed that your kitchen space, with its hard surfaces, did echo a bit. Not a problem, though!
That's a very clever split between your reaction video and the original video. Standing portrait mode reaction, genius!
I agree!
Wow, I love Daniel's analysis, did not realise the bedroom curtains not really function well, and mentioned what the chef's video did not mentioned, top quality analysis!
that bedroom needs rugs on the floor not on the walls
Damn I knew Joshua was doing well but this is FANCY as hell. I can't even buy a normal house lmao renting is hell
You should watch Scuffed Realtor, its pretty good
Joshua has over 9 Million subscribers on UA-cam, 2 Million on Instagram and 7 Million on TikTok. He must be absolutely ROLLING in cash, not evening taking any sponsorships into account. He probably could've paid for the whole house in cash or made it 3x bigger and still be fine. I actually expected *more* lavishness and insanity from him, the house actually feels kinda normal - just brand new and beautifully made, which makes it look even better. He could have easily done a home with a whole filming room, super-expensive cameras à la MKBHD etc.
I don't watch his content actively anymore, but the direction he has taken has definitely made his channel explode in growth. He switched from focused, sometimes almost boring, high precision cooking to more "clickable" content with tons of listicles and a bit more dramatized editing that appeals to the masses.
He started out with filming out of his cupboard in his small kitchen on the West Coast and being notorious for producing absolutely everything from scratch if possible in any way in order to achieve the maximum quality, which was mostly pretty unrealistic and people (understandably) memed on him for that. His content is still good, but just not "as" meticulous as it once was.
isn’t his wife also a LAWYER???
@@christianw6723 Also Joshua's trained to become a professional chief
Happy to first-hand witness the channel's growth.
How funny is it that I was literally just watching this. Tis house is special in so many ways, first the hardwood celings, it brings. that warmth and coziness into the home and it makes the home very welcoming. Next, the tall windows that are literally everywhere in this gorgeous house bring natural light from every angle. Next, the geometric shapes and all the different angles, it makes the house unique. Just the overall location of the house, makes it very zen and serene. I'm so happy for Joshua Weissmanna andd his beautiful wife,
This is deepening and almost like fact checking the AD video. Hope you'll do more of these - the AD videos are entertaining and maybe inspiring, but this was educational! Thank you Daniel!
Loved this video. This needs to be a series 🔥
Going to put this out there, saw the AD episode when it came out. Hate it. Hate it so much haha.
Same omg I was hoping this would be more harsh 😂
I would love to see more videos like this!
I really like this kind of video. If you're up for it, how about giving your professional feedback on some Never Too Small tours? I'm curious about how you would tweak the layouts, what you think works or doesn't work or hacks that you might add. It's the insight into the thinking of an architect that I really appreciate.
This is a crossover I was NOT expecting!
I think the size of the dining area in the great room looks like it might be able to accommodate a round/oval table. This potentially could offer more room for seating. It also might soften up angles and straight lines of everything else in the room. Functionally, it may help the space flow better by being less of a barrier to circulation as well.
Totally agree with your analysis. Floor to ceiling windows in a bedroom are not for real life. I have a normal window, with custom blinds in a casing with blackout curtains over that. People don't realize how important darkness is for sleep. When do you get to enjoy those windows anyway? If I were gutting that house, I'd put the living or dining room at the back with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the view. Realistically, he cooks for a living, so I wonder if he cooks at home much at all, or entertains. That bench, ergh.
Wow ,I’m surprised at how well he is doing.Good for him.Im sure he has a cleaner come to clean so he doesn’t have to worry about finger prints on the cabinets.
Joshua Weissman comes across as such a brag-about narcissist - like a kid does - while Daniel’s narrative is calmly informative & very instructive. Good video!
That's just Joshua Weissman being Joshua Weissman.
I suspect he has a pop up backspash for that stove. Ive seen one somewhere before
keep doing architects redesign videos
Daniel, thank you for the video! It was very interesting to hear your thoughts and professional analysis. Could you recommend books about architecture styles and key architects, who had influenced them the most? If I want to dive in a little bit and get to know the styles and personalities, as a roundups.
Wow you said exactly what I was thinking Daniel from the kitchen marble, to the black cabinets, dining table, to the roller blinds and your suggestions aligned exactly with how I would change things too. Very nice to know my thoughts were affirmed by an aesthetic but also very functionally minded expert like you 😇
marble STAINS! never, Never, NEVER!
was reading, depending on how well it was polished from the factory. It can actually be stain resistant and non-porous without the need of sealing, I'd still be paranoid to do anything on them.
If I very were ever to pick marble for my home, I would pick a darker, somewhat patterned stone that could take some wear and patina it will inevitably get over time. I like to cook, and also wouldn't trust myself/significant others/kids/guests to keep my marble (or anything else for that matter) pristine. Carrara is just too delicate, and is likely to be very quickly marred by tomato/turmeric/or beauty product stains. The added benefit is that you could pick something more unique, that has a bit more character and is less overdone than white/grey veined marbles that are often the default.
Marble countertops is the new trend. My dad who builds apartments always installs marble countertops because that one of the first things buyers look for
Hi Daniel, loved this breakdown and format. I’m curious about the kitchen feedback. For the countertops and cabinets, what finishes or materials would you advice that have a balance of both function and aesthetics?
Oh my I would've never thought I'd see Josh in one of your videos
I love the esthetic of the house.
Kudos for Joshua being able to buy a house, but to me those minimalist modern houses doesn't feel like a house at all because they look like you're living in an art gallery and they don't feel cozy at all.
Entirely agree with your view on blinds in the bedroom - I just got blackout blinds installed in my bedroom and they leak so much light, they're not anywhere near as precision fit as I hoped. Considering ditching them already.
I noticed they quickly cut away from any pictures of how close this house was to the neighbors! All that glass with neighbors!…
Plus, I would not sleep one night in that bedroom comfortably. Having all of that access from the outside! ..plus the view of the neighbors. My knee jerk reaction is I want safety first and this creeps me out.
I loved this review.. well done with such grace. I agreed with everything! But I don’t think my brain could shut off worrying about safety… and the fishbowl affect at night with all of the lights on inside. 🤷♀️ no
I don’t mind the rear so much…it’s about as private as you get in Austin or near any major city frankly. I doubt the rear/side neighbors have any interest in my activities as long as they are undisturbed. Besides, most of the glass is atrium/rear yard facing. My main concern would be how open the living area seems to be to anyone in the front yard/front door. I want to be able to enjoy my living space looking less than presentable at times/hide from solicitors and other unwelcome guests, lol. Maybe there are shades on all the lower windows that aren’t apparent.
Not a book in sight.. I'd be afraid to visit in that space
Bloody love it.
Is AD the new MTV Cribs for old people? 😂
Back to macbook!?
Love the contents 👍
It's a beautiful home, him and his SO clearly have good design taste as I've seen over the years in their other homes/cars/etc. I think a lot of the rooms are unfinished, considering he moved in fairly recently, and from his previous, smaller home. He's likely been incredibly busy if you look at his channel/social media! If I were to offer next steps to really make it a comfortable home, it could use way more soft textures in the form of rugs, pillows, etc. The bedroom and office would really benefit from area rugs. Besides that, I would start to introduce more art and plants that will help further personalize/warm up the house.
The house is a black and white mausoleum. There is no warmth or comfort.
The marble kitchen counter top can be sealed to prevent stains. Lone Fox (Drew) installed marble in his kitchen and he sealed the marble.
Noted @3:23. Using marble in such a clueless way says you have lots of money, but no taste or style of your own.
Hi, you said that your mood depends on light, you can check some 10000 lux lamps, it works for some people, for me it's so-so.
idk but this just doesn't feel like a home. It is trully really nice to look at and is in someway art, but that bedroom looks increbily empty and huge the bed looks hostile and not especially comfortable and cozy aswell. The library room is very pretty but lacks character and is in my opinion overplayed with the whole aesthetic.
The kitchen area is really nice and also the sofa that they showed, it actually looks livable. The dining table just does not look right with that bench and i agree that it should have just had chair all round.
Also for such a huge space one would expect a bigger dining table even though its obviously not as easy to fit in the current layout.
6.5/10
exactly, you feel like you in a museum where you arent allowed to touch anything
Probably because it houses a sociopath.
i think that's the whole point though - home is never going to look the same to everyone. an example would be: the cozy, cluttered look, to me, is only going to make me feel bad because all i see are more things to clean and maintain and possible homes to pests.
also im pretty sure the guy cleaned out the house REALLY WELL for the interview, i'd do it too hahahah
@@felicity4841I really have no idea what you mean. Its about how the spaces look not how many things are in them
I don't watch cooking TV. If I did and this guy is as full into himself as he is about his house, I wouldn't be able to stomach it. I agree with you Daniel, he had no clue. Making this the first video of yours I couldn't watch the whole thing, stopping when he went to his bedroom.
Hmm interesting. I don't like the feel of the inside of the home. The outside seems more inviting. I can't quite express what I don't like.. the inside feels empty, for me it's not a space id want to spend time in. It lacks some kind of personality and homeliness its bland and just feels like space but not very inspiring inside.
I really like the handtufted wall hanging in the bedroom, and fully agree the acoustic benefits are much needed in that minimal space.
I have to say, I do think they absolutely butchered the exterior of the building. Those grey wall tiles are clearly applied and not actual stone masonry, which is so antithetical to the mid-century modern and organic modern ethos. But it may also just be a matter of taste... The original building looked much more 'rooted' in the landscape, whereas the new design looks like it was just 'plonked on top' of some grass, completely disconnected. I'm glad they retained the beautiful trees though, including the one in front of the bedroom window.
The house feels very "man cave"-y, very sharp, minimal and lacking in décor - which is fine if that's your style but I would've loved some sheer curtains, rugs, plants and art. I got the feeling of it being a house and not really a home yet but in a few years it might have accumulated some more pieces and warmth
personally, keeping to that minimal man cave look, I just wished there was more texture and finishes. you can have all white walls, but could have different texture finish. same with shapes, and wood stains. There's not much difference in stones either and fabric textiles arent varied and looks so flat
@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel yes maybe some lime-wash or terrazzo stone in some place just to have some visual interest. I like the wood tones but maybe some more of it or bringing in those warm tones in the paint colour.
I find the AD videos in general to be quite annoying, but enjoyed your analysis of this one. You showed just enough of Joshua's tour footage to get the gist of it while focusing on the pieces that YOU wanted to highlight. A good fit for your channel, in my opinion.
Thé toilet is closed, which makes it useable for couples? Sorry I’m confused.
He just means that one person can be using the rest of the bathroom, such as the sink area while the other is using the toilet.
An espresso machine worth thousands and he got a budget grinder? Should have used some of the money from the marble to at least get a Weber EG-1
Carrara marble is just about the worse choice. It’s very porous and very prone to staining 😊
Hmm. I lived in Austin 22 years and never heard of Stinger. To me, this house has great bones but is unfinished. You can be a minimalist and not have it look like you got everything at Ikea. Carrara Marble is gorgeous, but stains like crazy. He must not cook in that kitchen.
Matching a LM Linea Mini with a DF64 is so bad, wtf. You are getting one of the best home prosumer machines you can get and for the grinder you match it with a low end grinder. The DF64 is a great budget option, dont get me wrong, but that budget it is clearly a horrible option.
lol a DF64 is fine, especially if you update to ssp burrs which we don't know if he did or not. flat burr is still the way to go and honestly plenty of people have a niche + linea mini combo but in my experience having both df64 outperforms niche every day. df64 is not a "low end grinder" it's pretty high-mid. it's not like he has some baratza encore sitting there.
Indeed. It is not obvious when starting out in your espresso journey, but at that budget, he should have swapped the expenditures and acquired an expensive grinder and a cheaper (but still good) espresso maker. I learned this mistake the hard way too.
@@michaelniezgoda8765 he had a breville barista pro before this so it's safe to assume he actually does know what he's doing a little bit. very few people have grinders that are over $600 even when their machines are in the thousands, there are diminishing returns at that point..
Nice to see someone else catch that. DF64 is actually amazing for what it is. A budget single dose, flat 64mm that allows upgrades down the line. But it needs tweaking to be great and won't reach the user experience high end grinders have. Great to match it with an entry level $500...$1000...$2000? espresso machine.
If you have the money for a Linea Mini, get a Weber/Lagom/Titus/Mahlkonig?/etc.
For the sake of analogy:
-it's like you have an event, buy some amazing $2k bespoke (shell cordovan?) shoes just to match them with a rented tuxedo that would need serious adjustments to fit well;
-or you get a Rolls Royce, but, for some reason, get the option to install Ford seats, instead, to cut costs and you choose that.

I notice zero plants. All that light and no life using it. Uuughh.
How did Joshua get the money? Cant imagine this place is under 2M, and I doubt his income is over 300k meaning he could finance up to 1.5M.
I have noticed he wears a Rolex in some videos.
He has about 42M views a month, the lowest payment from UA-cam is about 3-4 USD per 1000 views, that means he gets about 120-140K USD a month from views alone
Add to that the 2-3 books he sells, sponsors, affiliate links, etc.
He’s blown up career-wise in the past few years. That is a very expensive house (over 3 million these days), in one of the more expensive neighborhoods in the very pricy Austin area. I don’t want to say where for their safety/privacy, but I’m familiar with both the neighborhood and architect. Also, I think his wife just finished her law degree if I remember correctly. So I could see with the two of them combined, they have had a massive jump in income in a short amount of time. He’s definitely been low-key flexing as of late, lol. With the cars and watches as you mentioned. It’s only a matter of time before he gets a Lambo for that garage…
@@ryannatividad3137 Low key flexing? LOL, his entire persona is built on being a snob.
PAPA JOSHUA
Wow what a beautiful warm midcentruary exterior. Devoid of any warmth or personality, on the inside. You don’t have to be a maximalist, to think carefully about the colour, materials and texture you use in a minimalist home. To make it look and feel like an actual human with a personality lives there. Hire an interior designer, do work with and balance that beautiful architectural design.
Okay let me rephrase, in a man splaying way, as a woman architect, who as also at times worked in an interior design spaces. What this home really needs is a woman’s involvement. Or perhaps some input from the wabi-sabie approach, on materials selection, wood, living materials, textiles warm materials with some wear or living things would add volumes to this Instagram rental interior pallet, something anything that the home owner loves and appreciates, art, sculpture, heck a framed price of macaroni art, would improve the blandness, at this point. Go wild paint a wall using lime wash in a warm and neutral shade. Okay, okay I’ve had my rant.
"I call it a library" - proceeds to show a room containing maybe 50 books in total, a dozen of them being author copies of his own books...
Oh, I feel sorry for him, so much money and 0 taste. Did not even finish the video. I hope the designer got like a 100 bucks for it. No personality. Everything is disconnected and gives hospital wibes or rented apartments.
He doesn't live in a kitchen, but there it is in the corner of the room. 😂😂😂 @2:08, fingerprints magnet. Marble worktops? Good luck with that. I see now that I will have to hop over to that Architectural Digest tour and chuck in my tuppence worth. The architects' attempt to mimic a mid-century home has fallen flat. Those were cosy, intimate spaces on a human scale. Weiseman's house is just a series of black and white boxes masquerading as a home.
People in the developing world probably wish they could sleep when it’s too bright too dude :)
Why are all the windows weird and tiny and high? Feels like you’re in a basement the whole time
Because the neighbours are a few steps away.
I read somewhere he made $4 million a year no wonder why he sounds cocky😂
first?
yes sirrr
yeah congrats 🥉
Yes
Wow! That Joshua guy seems very annoying
