Architect Designs A Contemporary House With A Unique Interior Design (House Tour)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- Located on Telegraph Hill, a meticulously preserved locale in San Francisco, Hidden House breaks away from conventional architectural styles and emerges as a contemporary house amid the historical backdrop of the city. To realise the project, OPA demonstrates contextual sensitivity with the facade, which features timber as well as a traditional bay window with extensive glazing, fitting for the streetscape. Furthermore, the facade is adorned with wooden panels transitioning from vertical to horizontal orientations, symbolising contemporary innovation over traditional craftmanship.
The contemporary house is composed of three fundamental elements. The house tour unveils how the facade of the home serves as a disguise, concealing the inner workings of the residence along with its modern interior design and architecture. Additionally, the unique house boasts two distinct zones, each with its own character and personality. One zone presents a vertical and abstract aesthetic, where the materiality is obscured by vibrant blue paint, while the other exudes a raw and refined charm. The initial zone aims to immerse visitors in a psychological experience, utilising colour as a bold element within the home’s interior design, despite its relatively low cost compared to other features. Transitioning to the second zone of the contemporary house, OPA has achieved a strikingly contrasting effect. In this area, materials are expressed in their raw and refined forms, all oriented horizontally. This deliberate choice fosters a juxtaposition between the two zones while maintaining a connection that allows them to harmonise seamlessly. Furthermore, the spirit of expression is intricately woven into the interior design and decor, instilling a sense of spontaneity and dynamism throughout the space.
For the lighting, the architect has installed two systems. In the second zone, meshed sheet modules with LED strips are fitted. Ultimately, the overarching idea is to unify the entire space while juxtaposing the spotlighting in the blue zone. The spotlights in this area serve a directional purpose rather than casting light horizontally, helping to distinguish between spaces and materials. With an emphasis on illuminating the central areas of the home, including the kitchen, OPA incorporates a skylight to welcome natural light deep into the contemporary house. Additionally, the skylight’s illumination adds a layer of complexity to the interior, contributing moments of expression to the interior design and enriching the character of the home. True to San Francisco’s architectural style, the unique family home artfully conceals its contemporary nature behind a metaphorical mask, reminiscent of the traditional facades of neighbouring residences.

Are these vids about the house or camera/editing skills? Please show the flow of the houses better. This is just the same part of the house for 5 minutes. Barely shows anything.
no that's all there is to see here unfortunately
@@adamarcher5998🤣
You couldn't have said it better. I wish they had shown more of the house.
I'll bet that shade of blue is etched into your retina, though.
I love the local project and almost every house but this house I couldn’t imagine living in. I can see why you have included it because the architecture and design is amazing and it does challenge typical housing configurations. It fits more with a contemporary office space. Also I can’t help worry about kids hitting their heads on all those sharp and hard corners and surfaces.
Amazed they got permission to build such a jarring looking thing in a row of classic looking buildings. A spooky looking dark prison.
most depressing, anxiety-inducing, insane asylum hellscape of a house.
Besides the facade, this is a masterclass in what not to do, people.
Exactly😂
2:28 Getting out of bed and being on an uneven floor, sharp slope! One way to welcome physical and psychological 'complexities'.
“A city that is in love with itself”. Pot. Kettle. Blue.
hahaha that's exactly what I thought. this guys ego bigger than the whole city. lets pray for him, clearly he's hurting.
This guy seems like he eats cereal with a fork…, you know; because intellectual architecture 😂
Yep, we are too stupid to understand 🤪😁👍!
Yes, this is not for average minds with a lack of taste
@@Helleborus77 no, it’s for people who only think they have an “above average mind with good taste.” 😂
I prefer to use a butter knife, it's 'edgier'. ke ke ke.
Way to gut a classic Victorian house just to make it look like the interior of an Acne Studios retail store
lol nailed it
Great video. The house feels more like an artistic experiment first and a place for a person to live second, very highly tailored to the tastes, feelings, and thoughts of an individual. That works very well if the person who has those tastes, feelings, and thoughts is also the person who's going to be living in it, but I can't help feeling that if I ever visited it I'd listen to the reasoning behind the choices, and be able to recognise the artistic beauty, while also being very happy that I don't live there.
That was a really great way to say exactly what I was thinking. haha.
This is not design, this is art. I don't mean it in a good way 😊A very large presence of the artist...
I am happy to say it is art in a good way.
@@janelte congratulations on a witty rejoinder.
Super arrogant. Putting the evaporators out for all the neighbors to enjoy. It's obviously a view neighborhood. I feel like calling the city planner it's that rude.
I agree, it's more art. They used architecture to evoke feelings. The feelings I get are cold, sterile and unwelcoming. Imagine what this would do your mindset, if every morning you would wake up in this dreary sad environment. Who did the architect design this for? I wonder if the architect who lead this was more interested in being progressive for the sake of being progressive.
@@anco6058I actually was not trying to be witty, I meant it as a compliment. THere are people who would feel truly forunate to live in such a conceptually-rich space, and others who want something more "comfortable", but this works beautifully within the brief that is being communicated. Each to their own, of course.
Best room is the roof deck.
As architects and designers, we really need to stop talking like this. Over intellectualising every minor decision has become a sport where The Local Project is the Olympics.
😂😂
self aggrandizing to say the least. Usually love hearing why the architects made the decisions they did. This guy is all just im so successful and intellectual
no
Honestly bad design, does not fit the location, has a lack of living space looks and feels like a museum art pieces. Houses are ment to live inn not just a symbol of wealth
I guess there is indeed something called as Neo-Alcatraz
It's dystopian, not contemporary. Way too much going on to be contemporary yet not enough going on. Definitely not contemporary.
Absolutely amazing piece of artwork though, well designed, so many little details everywhere.
I could go on and on with what I spot that is just awesome, from light on stairwell to the floor sloped up the bottom of bay window and exposed fastners on the steel joists.
Kudos to this architect. This is what happens when someone with passion for architecture and design just let's loose and comes up with what they want, regardless of how abnormal it may be.
Also, his choice of finishes, really amazing though also the most cost effective options too.
Amazing work to the one who created this.
We went into an historic neighborhood desperately trying to save an iconic look and feel, and then we did everything we possibly could to undo that while still abiding by the rules, but not the spirit, of the planning commission. Bro, not the flex you think it is.
While I don't disagree with this, to me the damage was done prior to this project.
The homes immediately flanking this one (around 1:10) look like they were done with far less care to the connected properties. Having lived in a historic neighborhood for 25 years (Indianapolis), I've noticed that replicating history seldom leads to good outcomes. It's hard to know how much of the property was intact before this renovation, but if I were on that block - I'd be happy to have that home carry the neighborhood in the future. The scale and massing are appropriate, they did a great job of hiding the overhead door and used natural materials.
The blue, metals, concrete and rigid sharp lines makes it cold, I do appreciate the contrasting hues of blues due to the sunlight but still cold ...in the room the ply wood use is nothing new however it does warm up the space and appears to be the only warmth, besides the sun coming in through the windows. The contrast between the cold of the inside and the lack of warmth is also felt when the gentleman steps out onto the rooftop...it will date fast (retro comes to mind)...unless it can be kept at the crisp immaculate state it is now, looking brand new...the outside facade is appreciated, I enjoy the modern twist on the historical and classical buildings that surround it...personally it does not feel like a home but a good effort...
Why not for the outside, but the inside is as warming and welcoming as a fridge 😬!
Not for me 🥴🥶...
it's beautiful but, yeah, it'd be so uncomfortable to live there
Is this a house tour or a blue stairs' tour?
LOL, you’re so right! Blue stairs are all we saw of this one.
I look at alot of architecture, and what you have done, with paint, ..is so strong, but absolutely beautiful in its subtitles.. to do something with nothing...Amazing
A lot of STAIRS! We need more stairs! And more blue to the fridge house LOL! 🤤
Невероятно крутой проект дома😮
Really nice house. But why put the AC unit just on top of the window? There might have been a better place somewhere else...
Noticed the same thing. The two condenser units looked to be right at the front of the house at the top.
The external shell, the external design is gorgeous; love how it works within the streetscape. And that rooftop, love. I was taken aback with the blue interior😆, just a personal taste thing as blue is my least favourite colour. I also feel, we have many gorgeous industrial interiors here in Australia with concrete, steel and glass… but look far more up-market and refined, and it comes down to detail. This example just needs some refinement for my tastes, and I’d love to see some of that gorgeous external timber, steel and glass brought inside to add some warmth. It reminds me of a Tardis. There’s no relationship between the external skin and the internal skin.
All you need now is pops of green plants and you will have your own Aquarium.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have seen this project's exterior many times in person, so I can comment here in ways others might not be able to.
The facade is absolutely exquisite and eye-catching without being loud, and it adds to the lexicon for those in love with screen compositions. When it's lit, the veil radiates and is stunning and calm rather than out of character.
SF has more wood-clad buildings than you would assume if you look for them. There are also many junk facades from renovations done in the '70s-'90s, so we can't be too precious in search of pure historicalness. Remember that the city also celebrates innovation as part of its identity.
The inside may be a miss for some, and I get that, but it is extremely driven by the concept and/or the client, and the execution is on point, so the project's goals were successful. If we were the client, it would be hygge-y af, as is all the rage, but that's not this house. You do see peaks of wood and skimmed concrete, and it would have been nice to see some of that warmer detail captured in the video.
It's funny, I walked by this house a couple of weeks ago and stopped to photograph the exterior facade. It really stuck out to me in its interesting contemporary design. I never would've guessed the inside design. Really really cool.
“There are a lot of things happening in the project that question received ideas architecture”… insert example please
Quite cool, Luke/ OPA. Great job.
Much staircase. The stairwell is the main room, right? Great facade with large windows.
where is the bathroom and kitchen?
Folks that want a house like that don't eat or poop.
Didn’t feel like a classic Local project walk through.
a lot to unpack with this one. architecture is all about opinion and this project is more polarising than most. I guess as long as its answered the client brief, who's to judge too critically, but I'm not convinced its going to provide a legacy for future inhabitants - build in redundancy? perhaps the idea is to inspire a future gut renovation and remodel?
Is he more concerned with architecture vocabulary or architecture? This house is the architectural equivalent of a person that likes to read and memorize the menu, instead of taste all the food. I would not want to live in that thing.
Ooooh, the build up to 3:30, and then the transition with the music at 4:15. chef's kiss.
Personally, I do not enjoy how the outside stands out so much amongst it's neighbors. It doesn't feel like it fits in among the community. But I do deeply appreciate how interesting of a concept the interior was on this one. Going monochromatic with the paint is something I would never do, but it was very cool to see (and totally makes sense) how the singular shade varies in color throughout the day to raise interest.
This is only for AirBnB and entertaining or is it not? Or some person with at least a primary home in the South Bay I hope. It reminds me of the interior of an aquarium.
good luck selling it when you're tired of it
Exactly! What a waste.
coat of white paint should do it.. else a bulldozer.
A video not filled with advertisement? Well done.
Yes shame on people for wanting to make a living while providing free content for you. 🙃
@@asideofsweetshame on people for knowing how to read 😂
They put so much thought into creating a beautiful facade and then stuck a pair of ugly aircon units on top, which ruin the entire appearance
as welcoming and cozy as my local morgue
would never live there. feels like living in an unfinished warehouse
This is the sort of thing I wish we would get here on infill sites here in Glasgow. 19th century red or yellow sandstone tenements with huge bay windows (the entire width of that room) are our most predominant residential architectural style within the city limits. Infill tends to ignore it altogether or to mimic it is the dullest way possible. Something like this would be a fresh take. Though not in wood. We are much too wet for that much wood!
Not for everyone but I can see myself living in such a space.
I like creating the unexpected within constraints.
The blue staircase brings the outside in, perhaps adding some plants.
Didn’t get to see much of the interior but I like streamlined lifestyle.
No plan to have kids, so i don’t have some of the practical concerns parents would have.
that might be one of the most pretentious people I've heard talkling in a long time. "intelectually daring" painting stuff blue .. ok
had to shut it off after 2 mins, can't listen to him talk...the contraption he created is no better, I can't believe people actually live in this monstrosity
I agree. I feel like the Australian Architects are more down to earth than the American ones.....and better at making beautiful living spaces. I say that as an American.
😂
@@canieto1don’t let the accent fool you. It’s the same gross art speak.
Well, painting an interior in monochrome colours is daring. Or have any of you done it? And just because someone’s language is a bit more elaborate, there’s no need for all this hate on here
Interesting 😊
Суперечливо
Мала досвід проживання у яскраво- блакитному тотально інтер‘рі.
Спочатку- вау-ефект.
Через рік мало не збожеволіла.
Have to give credit for thinking outside the box. Not sure it's my thing but I give them credit for being bold enough to do it.
I enjoyed the video but had to watch it on mute.
It’s cold
Not a bad thing, but I’m not sure the twist are subtle!
You're hip, you're cool, you want to show everybody your distain for everything that went before. Just should have done it somewhere else.
What's up with all the dislikes?
The dislike button is for disliking a video.
People didnt like the video.
People pressed the dislike button.
I hope its clear enough.
I did not know that.
How unfortunate.
So it seems.
That is clear enough. Thank you.
;) What I am trying to understand, is if people dislike the video, not because it’s a bad video but simply because the design being presented is not their taste. The whole point of these is to learn about different styles, even (or maby especially) if it’s wildly different from your own taste.
You're my boy Blue!
Love it so cosy and comforting
Missing kitchen shot
Why does this vid have so many dislikes?

@@Ulexcool alr smarty pants
My guess would be because of the interior. Comments on it are polarized. I myself am in the dislike camp (though I didn't press the button.)
@@dennischiapello7243 ah ok Ty for taking the time out ur day to explain. Much appreciated man!
Insanely cool house. Personally, I couldn’t imagine living in it. In my opinion, contemporary design lacks the coziness most people look for in order to turn a house into a home.
If depression had an address, this would be it.
🤩🤩🤩
Could someone do a translation from the architectese language to just normal English? Maybe academics understand him but I really didn't get it - too much fluff.
Thats because he didn’t really say anything of substance, very full of himself, I think. As another comment said, it’s a form of art, but not design.
Wow as long as the client is happy here that's really all that matters... but that blue staircase is really giving parking ramp. Also what child draws concrete floors? This was all very confusing.
Wow.. I really hated this! First time this channel has a house that I actually hate. Or, at least the parts they decided to show - which is just exterior, which I actually liked, and that horrific staircase that looks like it belongs in jail or maybe a crazy high school. Why show a house without showing a house? Not a single living space was shown besides that 1 bay window, no kitchen, no bedrooms or bathrooms. Just again and again and again that blue staircase and that wire mesh... ugly
True. It was mostly slow panning of dramatic angles and close-ups of details. Sunlight seemed more in service of dramatic shadows it might cast than of the people who might live there. Very little sense of living space. The narrator called San Francisco a city in love with itself. So. Here's an interior in love with its own images.
Very different, maybe over designed in some ways?
Nice shots and everything but I didn't even see the house... Show the spaces not just nice transitions shots!
Stunning But what's the point of living in a place where your life means NOTHING total lawlessness
Can't have stairs with open risers - kittens can fall and break their neck. Also, the roof space needs to be pet proof. Finally, what about parking?
Otherwise - it's beautiful.
If I were a car, I'd love living in this garage, lovely echo inside
Is it me or is the architecture in Australia miles ahead from what we’ve seen so far from the US? please bring back Aussie stuff
The blue is offensive. I'm offended.
Very institutional The way it is filmed doesn’t allow me to understand the home . I think that much blue is enough in our sky
Why is 90% of the video looking at the Blue's Clues stair🙃? Gotta be my least favorite video I've seen on the channel.
I will never understand why you would design a house whose exterior is so vastly different to the surrounding properties. It stands out in a bad way
Not everyone wants to live in the past.
@@davidkambic9169This is true.
But I pity the HOA Board that has to listen to the neighbors howl about that exterior. My community had to replace our old custom stop signs, and didn’t want to spend $12k to make the new ones custom (city only pays for standard ones), and people lost their sh*t. The amount of hate mail and threats of violence cycling around was mind-blowing. 🤯🤯🤯
To me the exterior is "vastly different" to the interior, which is my problem with this house. I think its presence on the block is an agreeable one.
They didn't show the kitchen...Is it in a closet? A hot plate on the stairs?
UberEats.
@@dennischiapello7243 I don't wanna know about the bathroom.
Here for the comments. Let’s go! 🤓
An austere, neurotic and surreal childish nightmare. Interesting only behind binocular lenses. Definitely an exercise in postmodern excess and probably home to Patrick Bateman's cousin. Takes a lot of gall to build that where it is.
From sleek design to unexpected pops, surely a masterpiece. ✨✨
Too industrial for me...interior looks like a factory. Exterior is more interesting than interior.
Agree with a lot of comments here: you wouldn't be able to live in it. I watched another video before this one and the light coming into the space makes it. You can see what's going on when there is light coming in. Skylight doesn't help as much as the architects think.
No voy a opinar sobre la presentación del arquitecto. Hay profesionales de este campo que toman su trabajo de distintas formas; los hay sencillos y muy enfocados a la vida en sus obras y otros " muy artistas" que descontextualizan su creación dentro de un universo muy propio y no tienen en cuenta el uso y la vida en esos espacios. Me gusta verlos a todos..., pero no viviria ahi, no trabajaria en ese lugar, no veo posible relajarse en ese lugar...no me gusta. No es una casa. Es su obra?
The facade is great. The interior feels like an insane asylum.
🥇🥥👨👩👧🥥🥇💝💝💝💝
no idea what this guy is on about
Stiff and bleak. Exactly what I’d imaging someone with his “mind” looking like.
The House Clashes with the Classic Victorians. The Interior is Cold. Too Futuristic even though it’s Present.
I can appreciate this video not bad 👌
Half of the video is stairs... would have been nice to see more of the actual rooms of the house.
A lifeless home.
What is bro yappin about?
nobody knows
Hidden House eh? It shoud've stayed hidden.
Typical "architect talk". Do they tech them to talk this way?
a blue prison
About as pretentious a description as I've ever heard. Didn't fn see it dude.
The blue and internal design is hideous. Could have been so much more. External is not bad.
I don't feel the house is hidden at all. Perhaps if the architect kept the original facade paying homage to the history (born and raised in the SF Bay Area myself it makes me saddened) the interior would be more of a contrast. Too severe for my taste, but someone will find or has found it a sanctuary.
This is not a house, this is an art experiment...
Seems like a house where Jeffrey Dahmer would stay.
Not to be dramatic but .... This... feels like a jail
🤮🤮🤮
Errrrrr, No.
