I have to say this is probably my favorite, (among many). There's a strange warmth, in the combination of concrete, stone and wood. He's blended the old and new beautifully. The views are beyond beautiful. I continue to look forward to your videos every week. You continue to fine the most creative and imaginative people in the world.
@Paul Fahs I hear you. Not sure if it´s my favorite, but it is one of my favorites. There is a fine blend of old/history and exquisite design simplicity.
My favorite was the micheln star chefs home in Catalonia from a year ago very similar to this but much more minimalist … this is a very close 2nd very cool vibe I love it … and these videos so beautiful and satisfying !!!
I have never seen another site on the internet that caused.....explosions in my heart and brain that this did......that architect did such a wonderful job.......I am in shock.....
Most people you interview on this channel are pretty cool, but I absolutely LOVE this dude. He seems like an amazing blend of laid-back and detail-oriented. The house is great too. Everything is so tasteful and aesthetic without being too precious to use. Everything is modern and impressive, but still taking a backseat to the natural beauty around. This house makes me question what the relationship between house and nature really is. It's awesome.
Amazing! And love the rod stewart art. Loved the wine stain detail, "So here there was happiness", we often forget this in modern society and value objects too much
So interesting the microclimate aspect of the dining room. Also your translation was on point. Was succinct and interpretative instead of literal, bridging the 2 languages conveying the true meaning. Great job. That landscape was beautiful. The builders did a wonderful job. Very creative use of the topography of the site.
It has a downside though. An example: In japan most of the time only the living room is climate controlled. The temperature differences when changing rooms in traditional japanese houses is really high. Upon changing rooms the body can get into a shock like state causing a heart attack. It's why in japan heart attack cases at home are really high, especially in elderly. The body isn't perfect. I think a better way is to have temperature transition lightly.
Mr. Ibargoyen's architect friend, Jordi Hidalgo Tane, is a genius. I can't help but see the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright in this marvelous structure. I love the way that massive concrete ceiling seems to float over the space. The transition from the old structure (wonderfully restored) into the new is like a religious experience. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when Mr. Ibargoyen said some people said the concrete needed to be painted. Sad testament as to how society in general has become so influenced by the building/design trade's standards for the sake of profit.
I agree that in the extension the concrete works as is, but the argument for raw, grey concrete reminds me of the Renaissance and Enlightenment appreciation for the bare white marbles of Classical Antiquity...which we now know were not bare white.
That passageway is just too awesome.....I can Imagine my self in there in the rain.....the daytime rain and the night time rain......I would probably even extend it to making it available as a living/entertaining space....beautiful
I’ve always the same philosophy about using things. If it's chipped, it's chipped. I love what he said about the wine stain. "There was happiness here." Perfect. The way he lives is what I long for. Brilliant, self-sufficient and generous with his neighbors. Awesome.
Kristen and family, you are my favorite channel on youtube. The exposure you give to a wide variety of living spaces is so interesting. Cannot thank you enough.
En primer lugar, fantástico canal. 16 años llevo fuera de mi tierra, siempre viendo videos de arquitectura y por fin, escucho una explicación en modo "Jatorra". Claro que si, la casa es para usarse y si se ensucia demuestra vida. Enhorabuena a ambos, propietario y arquitecto, ganas de regresar a Navarra.
I agree, this addition and the renovation of the barn does equal happiness. The home is as stunning as the view!!! I don't know how you find these fabulous homes, Kirsten, but please don't stop! I would like to know when it was built, how long the construction took and what the cost was to build. Truly magnificent!
Wow! This is by far one of the best houses I have seen. I've seen videos about mansions in LA and California but honestly, if I had the money I would do something like this, renovate an older house and build an extension into the hillside. Great project and video. 10/10
...is due to this is Architecture and those mansions are Mc Mansions; actually the same steel or wood framing like a normal house but 10 times bigger and with high end appliances and furniture but poor quality architectures
This is amazing :) I can't believe it's been 10 years since I started watching your videos and still find each one super interesting to this day. Huge supporter of you capturing these works around the world. What an awesome job!
It is so difficult to say which of your videos is the best, but this one clearly is on that list. Thank you for giving us these magnificent presents every and each time. You help me to dream and be inspired and alive. Love!
I think this is the most amazing one yet. I love how they married the old and new with a glass passage way. I love how well hidden the newer building is.
WOW. That is just fantastic. Probably the best home you've ever covered. Just amazing. Tasteful, eco, functional, setting, views... mmm. I like the ambient sounds and clouds too at the start of the video.
I have never seen a house designed with so much love and sensitivity towards nature. Restoration of that old house and connecting with the new space via the glass tunnel was a brilliant execution. Being an Architect myself, I am in awe of this house. I would say clearly one of my favorites. Kudos to the Architect and thank you for bringing this to us Kirsten.
I have watched so many builds and so many have claimed to design the building to blend with the surrounding to not impact the visual harmony etc etc and finally I have seen someone achieve that, bravo, bravo !
I LOVE this! Modern design meets old world beauty that can never be replaced. The use of glass for the connection is simply gorgeous in it's minimalism, and I adore concrete and wood. All together with the natural landscape this home is an architectural gem to be appreciated for generations to come.
I did the Camino in 2016. We walked 227 miles in 13 days and we walked through the two states of Astoria and Galicia and the homes were that we stayed at along the way were amazing, this video brings back those memories.
What a dream! Oh to have the funds, the land, and the creativity to do this. An underground (or, under hill) house seems to be such a fantastic idea, insofar as insulation, weather, safety, cost savings, and general coziness. So smart that the main window faces SW, getting the beautiful sunlight during the day, along with sunsets! Lucky and blessed man and family. Love this place!
Amazing work as usual. Thank you for sharing these stories, i wouldn’t have half the ideas I have for a home if it had not been for your content. Thank you so much.
Fav house on UA-cam, how he kept the integrity of the stones and frame of the existing building. Respecting the natural form of the land. Brilliant air purifying plants completes it phenomenal
Thank you for doing this for people you don’t even know Kirsten! I just bought some property and refuse to do a stick built home. I’m so upset at prices the way they climb and fall anymore. I’ve put so much into the system that I’m ready to just NOT anymore. I’m trying to find the best way to live a sustainable lifestyle, so thank you!
This beautiful home is a Grand Design that could easily have been featured on the UK TV programme of the same name. Many thanks to Kirsten and co for bringing fantastic content of homes both Grand and Tiny for us to enjoy and marvel.
I agree with comment below that the architect is a genius and in terms of how well the extension was thought out. Its a beautiful space and credit to low impact design on the environment. Great place to relax and entertain, and what I found very appealing there is plenty of light and space for the plants to grow successfully and also grow quite large, which is what I love and creating a healthy environment for the occupants. There are elements about the design that remind me of some of the building design at the Eden Project, I like it very much. I hope the owner will have a very good and happy life there.
Love it. The 'bunker" is not too big. It is pretty basic. Nice reno. on the caserio, with lovely touches. He, his family, his architect, and the builders did wonderful work. I renovate old, tiny apartments, alone, minimalist, no transportation...just a wheeled suitcase.
Good to see the family grow (in hight) over the years and present this building with life! I am surprised that I love this architecture to possibly be my most memorable ever. Most impressive perfection
Fantastic build- restoring the old barn to be bedrooms and then building this very modern addition into the mountain. I love how the new building is hidden away, that it is environmental in terms of temperature control, that it easy to take care of, and it has great views.
this is as good architecture as it can get. superb light, great attention to the heritage while creatively reusing an abandoned agroindustrial building without the pretentiuosness of minimalism. one of the best videos you've made so far, thanks!
That VIEW. An extremely sensitive and functional restoration and the extension is absolutely beautiful. Just completely stunning in every way, the architect deserves every bit of praise they could possibly get for this project. If that was my home I doubt I'd ever leave
Wonderful way of keeping the old building with the new beautiful construction. I was waiting to see the entire bathroom in the new place. Gracias por este hermoso video. 🇪🇸 🇲🇽 🇺🇸
The floating ceiling on all sides becomes the focal point to be enjoyed externally and internally, it also creates a sculptural piece of art by itself that represents modernism, dynamism and movement. Along with the paintings on the lit wall, the structure transforms easily into an exhibition space. The only remark i have is that I wish there was some space left above between the glass roof of the annex and the concrete ceiling at the entrance to the new structure. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for the creative architect
This is my favorite kind of design, it's modern in that it uses stark, engineered features on the building itself, but it's rustic in that is builds focus around natural materials on the interior. This kind of interior look for a renovated castle would be awesome.
Absolutely amazing and a great way to use these old houses and create enough useable living space. I like keeping the old house dark and quiet for sleeping and the living area, communal areas separate. I absolutely love this, my favourite video from this channel. Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely beautiful, functional! To the owner: my only rec would be to remove that tent pole from the yard, it impacts the stunning mountain view! Kristen, you have such an interesting channel! I love that you take a step back, shoot plenty of angles, and allow the owners to show you around, displaying their love and history of each home. Bravo!
Approaching a most-appealing and sensible design here. Smart architecture plans for minimum reliance on heating and air conditioning in the home; underground temperatures are more constant. Thanks for showing off more of the design possibilities.
@@canyonhaverfield2201 Or... perhaps it could be about leaving some nature for bugs and birds to flourish instead of just being about making things pretty for humans.
That concrete looks amazing. Very beautiful interior design. Great job and really well done. 100% on point. He knew which look he should achieve for this piece of land. Very very clean.
I really like the house and the living area next to it. Very interesting; ive been thinking about buying an old house and doing exactly this: taking all the wood out, and rebuild the inside with concrete. Really cool! The wood really finishes the whole thing. Thanks for sharing your house! Greetings, Jeff
That was spectacular! But I have so many questions about laying out all the utilities and drainage buried in concrete, and the mounting all that wood, door frames, and cabinets on concrete
Happens all the time. Slab on grade stick built houses have all the plumbing and much electrical often in concrete floor. There are standard arch details on how to do earth roofs with drainage.. the architect for this house did a beautiful job with the concrete structure stepping back in a subtle way!
Yes! And how is the electrical service sourced? My mind was running two tracks: "OMG, this is breathtaking" and "How are the utilities sourced" -- just, How, everything!? It is so lovely and seemingly, everything was attended to for this owner. I wish we had his deep pockets.
Your kids are very lucky, having such experiences around the world of architecture’s and human creativity, if one day they decide to become architects they will have such a real background experience and knowledge, something books can’t offer you! In fact, when I’ve started in Venice at “Istituto di Architettura di Venezia” IUAV, me originally from Roma had choosed, because of the influence of CARLO SCARPA, at time Magnifico Rettore, an so called Artisan of Architecture with a late given Honourable PHD, I was definitely missing this kind of knowledge! That’s why after 2years I’ve quit left to Texas and took professional pilot’s licenses and become a civil professional pilot 🧑🏽✈️ withdrawing from my passion on Architecture! You are great gigantic parents, lucky childrens of yours ❤️
Idk when exactly I found your channel but it was recently. A couple months ago maybe? Anyway, really glad that I did! On Sundays it's my day to myself, away from my partner and daughter so I watch your videos and bicycle long distances. Not at the same time, don't worry. Coming from watching news all of the time and getting depressed to watching only UA-cam videos, either your videos or others like them, my mental health health greatly improved. I hope that you and your family thrive at everything that you do. You are helping a lonely dad find things in life that he enjoys!
What a wonderful beautiful house, what a lovely owner, what a great guy his architect was and how can we persuade people to build more homes like these? God Bless the Basques... and can we please get them on our local council and start giving people living homes?
What an amazing space!… how well narrated and documented this piece of work is! I felt i was sitting there having a glass of wine… The owner “owns” the space and it blends so nicely with who he is (I’m guessing). Keep the good work coming / Super Job!

I thought it is Bryan May? From Queen?

You gotta admire both the architecture and engineering behind the addition. It's a beautiful space on so many levels.
I just love his philosophy about lighting. "Night has come, it's what there is." Just the minimum lighting to move around.

My thoughts exactly. I immediately thought of FLW the moment I saw the caserio extension.
Closer to John Lautner

@@suzettehenderson9278 that is a beautiful way of putting it! You perfectly encapsulated much of what I wanted to comment. You have a good eye!
It’s his OWN genius design without precedent!

he is the master of his physical environment...BRAVO
Astounding design and engineering. At huge expense. Nice to be that wealthy.
This place is paradise.Your family is truly blessed
The transitions between inside and outside, interior and exterior, man made and natural, concrete and mountain, are intriguing.
Your videos feel like a good friend that shows up every Sunday, thank you… As a musician, I enjoy the silence and absence of music ✌🏼
This is Brutalism done right.
In other words, not TOO brutal.
Beautiful design, beautiful location, passionate owner, and engaged interviewers!
and a cart wheeling kid .... just perfect :-)
