Rather than a Wealden house, it reminds me more of a Roman villa, with its central courtyard garden. I'm impressed by how well the blend of contemporary and antique furniture works. Da iawn 👍
Roman villa? Exactly. But forgetting that the Roman villa was a functional structure first and foremost, with its design dictated by the materials available, storage and defensive requirements etc etc. None apply here.
The importance of a courtyard on human well being is understated in modern architecture. As you heard in the video the owners use the courtyard much more.
Aussie here - i love it! You could plonk that design down here in Queensland and it would suit very well. Indoor/outdoor life, air flow, shade. Beautiful ❤️
OMG, perfection!!! I would love to life in such a beautiful house!!!! I would change only 1 thing and that would be, a little 'pool' in the middle of the 'courtyard' cause I love water (cold!!) and just sitting in it, not swimming. Cause this would feel so good at my body and help my illness (against the hellish pains I now have 24/7). You did a fab job!! Lots of love to the whole family from an old (rebel); Pinkie
@@zoeolsson5683 Hi dear, I want a sit-in pool, kind of jacuzzi (but with cold water) ;-) And to be honest, would not wanna have so much ground around the house neither, only the house and the inside area. Love from Pinkie
This is a brilliant idea, I do really like that central garden, almost like a Japanese Zen Garden style. How the layout is, giving so much light throughout the house, Brilliant job all way round.
APSOLUTLY not for old folks,, I am 72 and I can tell you first hand,, a home layout like this will never be used. There is simply to much to walk to get to any area.. rather you will have areas you live in and the rest will collect dust.
is RIBA changing the standard of house design ? surprised by the shortlist of 2024 seems soo humble and humane than compared to the current contemporary era interesting
Do you know how much a house like this would have cost to construct? It would easily be nudging £2m I would estimate with the landscaping. I'm not sure that's 'humble' for most people.
vernacular architecture is originally from south India, still seen in many villages. usually not a standalone structure like a remote farm house, but it is typically owned by farmers living together in villages
This style of house is traditionally called a 'haveli' in india or 'hanok' in korea. Very old concept having an internal courtyard area within the perimiter walls of the house.
I thought that too, older people housing often use this style. I do like courtyards, very practical areas, you can move around with the sun and less wind. But i guess more materials are used.
OK, so I've watched all six videos. Of the six houses shortlisted, two were designed by the architect for the architect. Given the age of the designers of the Peckham House I suspect that they had family help to carry out the work. Another two houses were commissioned by wealthy families using their kids as the designers - a total unrealistic example of how house design works in reality (for them there were no commercial pressures, no time pressures). The Hall seems to be a genuine commercial relationship between architect and client but given the length of the construction programme - 5 years - and the size of the house / extent of the work I would estimate it cost well over £5m. So that just leaves the Farmworker's House which appears to be a normal client / Architect appointment and with a budget that doesn't run into the many millions. So it should win.
It's a box. It's a study in rectangles. White/neutral everything. Let me know when the mid-cent fad is over, and people start designing with style again.
So much roof, and no solar panels, what a waste. The windows are way too big, impossible to clean for old people. Someone has to come in and professionaly clean the huge amount of big windows. Kitchen is not speerate, so the complete house smells like food, or in the worst case, burned food. The positiv thing are the wide doors, easy access with a wheel chair or walking aid. Hopefully the bathroom is designed for people with a walking aid and the shower has no steps to get into it and is big enougth to fit a bathing chair. So the elderly can be washed by a caretaker in their own home.
Like the form of the roof from the exterior, and the courtyard, agree that the interior is sterile and dull. Maybe more due to choice of furniture and design than architecture.
@@蒙西-b8h Nah. No furniture can make this home feel warm and welcoming. And using a lot of interior space for corridors make no sense. I hope the architect will live there.
@@giovannagallottini this is actually a common layout for wealthy families in Asia. Yes the interior needs to be lived in more to start looking homely, but it's an incredibly livable layout especially for young families & even 3 generation households. It's the best layout if you live in a city suburb with close neighbors for example.
@@j134679 Wrong place. This home is not located in Asia and it is not in a city suburb with close neighbors. Nothing can be done to the interior to make it "homely" or even friendly. The ratio of vertical to horizontal surfaces is wrong. The interior feels alternatively small and cramped and vast and wasted. This creates tension and is not harmonious.The home does not go with its surroundings. But if the owners are happy, that's all it matters. To each his/her own.
manything go wrong and meanless, keep talk too much things not really important, the thing is when u still rely on furniture, your space being meanless, or when u design a tree, it not about plant a tree but it is about u are around a tree,...
Actually, quite disappointing. I just can't see why this house on a listed building site would be worth an award. The interiors are really poor, result of throwing furniture in a large open barn. It just doesn't work.

Lovely! You can feel it was designed with love. Calming, sensitive and purposeful.
Beautiful and calming. Such a fantastic achievement.
How wonderful, and I love the nod to mid-century design. The roof is magnificent.
It could be converted into a Pizza Hut with only minimal alterations, so it's a source of passive income
Yes! My thought exactly.
😂😂😂
Thats really funny 🤣
My number one favourite style of home, is one with an interior courtyard. Well done!
The importance of a courtyard on human well being is understated in modern architecture. As you heard in the video the owners use the courtyard much more.
Well, now we all know what a 'heroic roof' is. Thanks, Tom.
Absolutely phenomenal so calmly magically made with love. 🎉🎉❤❤❤
Love it! Beautiful design. Love the idea of collecting the water on the eavesdrop
This looks absolutely stunning, Tom. The windows and doors perfectly the frame the stunning courtyard. Congratulations.
Fantastic - what a place (and story) - beautiful. The very best of luck to you all.
Heartwarming... Great work. Respect.
Absolutely beautiful, modest but elegant and so well thought out 😊

Pinkie ... I think would be better to have the pool outside... A narrow pool running the length of the side ... Then you could have a walk in pool.

Beautiful house great family story

perfection -- so many great combinations and details!
Gorgeous! I especially love the roof, & the eaves where rainwater falls into the stone trough, thence to water the garden. An ingenious idea.
Collecting water from the roof is one of the oldest concepts and often the main way to provide water for the house.
.... beautiful and elegant....
Neither.
Absolutely stunning and the thought that went into every detail is expressed with love and appreciation. Well done Tom, we're so proud 👏🏾 ❤
Your parents must be so proud of you…beautiful house…well done👏👏👏👏👏
I'm in love. The house in stunning as well.
Simple beauty is simply beautiful❤❤
Love this design. I have often thought of this design using shipping containers.

@@hartleyjr not about cost but quality of design
@KwameAmedzo The two are inextricably linked
@hartleyjr not necessarily..I've seen a lot of rich folks without class
Nice job great attention to detail 🎉🎉🎉🎉

or just a roman villa. It probably exists in every civilization with access to Roman trade back in the day
I notice old Japanese homes have a similar design. I'd definitely love a home like this
Nice job, show plans.
Interesting take on a bungalow.
Reminds me of some care homes that have repeated courtyards like this.
That type of courtyard works well in warmer and sunnier climates.
@giovannagallottini regarding indoor humidity and temperature levels yep.
But I believe there is a way around it 😄
I thought that too, older people housing often use this style. I do like courtyards, very practical areas, you can move around with the sun and less wind. But i guess more materials are used.

Love the home, but a RIBA contender…….😊
Not my cup of tea. Lovely that the owners love it.
This retirement home sounds like a beautiful sanctuary designed with thoughtful consideration for wellbeing and accessibility!
Wow!
It's a lot of house for an ageing couple to clean
I imagine they can probably afford a cleaner 😂
Clean and heat!
❤🙏
Unremarkable showroom of a house. Eaves acknowleable though.
The roof will be costly to replace when the time comes.
❤
Und so weiter und so weiter
The Romans would be proud
Yes, but we are not Romans. Different requirements, materials, energy sources etc.
It's a box. It's a study in rectangles. White/neutral everything. Let me know when the mid-cent fad is over, and people start designing with style again.
Study in rectangles? Yes! Triangles too.
A bit inwardly focused for my taste.
Yes. It does not work with the outdoor. Architect's showoff.
Bland & big internally for 2 people!! Not for me, glad they love it. Way too complex for what they needed
Tough life huh….from riches to riches.
