♻️ More sustainability facts of Garden House
- The house was designed with passive solar features built in. Most windows face North and have fixed awnings. The large North facing double height windows have external venetian blinds. This all works well with lots of passive heating in winter and the sun effectively blocked out in summer.
- The house is double studded with double thickness wall insulation, underfloor insulation, an insulated concrete slab and double glazed windows with thermally broken aluminium frames.
- The concrete slab was specified at 50% fly-ash content cement, making it much lower in embodied emissions than standard concrete.
- The brickwork is all recycled brick
- Major trees in the garden were left in place and the house built to accommodate them
- The house can maintain 10-15 degree heat variation to outside for reasonable periods without active heating or cooling.
- The house is all-electric with no connection to the gas network. Hot water, space heating and cooling, hydronic heating, pool heating - is all supplied by highly efficient heat pumps. Cooking is done on induction cooktops and electric fan-forced ovens (and a steam oven).
- The house has 17kW of solar panels, facing North, East and West - to maximise solar output throughout the day. Way more than enough electricity than the house uses during Autumn, Summer and Spring and on sunny Winter days. They often produce over 100kWh of electricity/day
- The house has 2 Tesla Powerwalls - that store 26kWh of electricity. In Autumn, Summer and Spring this is usually enough to power the house through the night - and the house effectively is self-powered. In fact, most days it would be self-powered and put excess electricity back into the grid.
- The garage has 3-phase EV charging and regularly charges a Tesla Model 3. On a sunny day, the solar and battery capacity can easily accommodate charging the car - so effectively it runs for free.
- The house is fully automated with Dynalite and Control4. Blinds, lights, fans and HVAC can be controlled from anywhere.
- The hydronic heating runs off a Nest thermostat which automatically optimises usage
- The house has heat recovery ventilation which is constantly bringing in fresh, filtered air at the same temperature of the interior of the house.
- Water: 15,000 litres of water tank storage, stored under slab in garage. Tank water used to irrigate garden and for toilets
- Zoning: The house can be zoned off into sections so that you only need to heat or cool the section of the house being used
- Teleconferencing: The office is equipped with high-quality teleconferencing equipment, which reduces the need for travel
- Bicycles: The house has a bicycle entrance leading to a bicycle storage area - this removes friction from making the decision whether to travel by bike and substantially cuts down on car use
- Compost: We have installed a Hungry Bin which can get through 2kg of food waste / day removing the need to put food waste into land fill
- Vege patch: Irrigated vege patches that grow most of the herbs that we use plus seasonal vegetables.
Really love the relationship between the house and the garden. So important in my mind. All buildings should do this. This would definitely be a great home to live in. If l had the money l would love these architects to design a sustainable home for me.😊
As a young grad in Melbourne videos like this are so inspiring. I can see myself returning to this video again and again and pick up on new details every time.
Yes and you will. That’s why archimarathon’s motto is “Learn to see architecture. See to learn architecture”. We believe these videos we make are educational and the UA-cam medium allows for people to rewatch as many times as possible indefinitely.
Working my way through your back catalogue (and waching the hair un-grey as I go) and from this untrained but design and garden and space-loving person, you may not be the best in the world, or even Australia (what would I know?) but you are bloody good! This stands up so well as a suburban family home that makes wonderful use of the assets accumulated in the past (trees, screening, an established and serviced community) and sets the inhabitants up for a happy life in the future. The interior space is complex, interesting, but restful, and really thoughtful. It feels like it has so much more usable, purposeful space than a McMansion with none of the sprawl and no clear-felling and destruction in order to achieve it. Congratulations to the homeowners for having the courage (and budget) and to Andrew's firm.
Great stuff. My house will be called " THE GARDEN HOUSE". Thanks for the ideas...Cheers!
That garage door is amazing! This solves the problem of typical garage door who is poor thermal barrier, worse, are a vast expanse of ugliness out of scale with the fenestration of the living spaces.
Being an architecture student, projects like these teach me how an architect is able to give importance to any space and how every detail is funded by beautiful and functional thought. Thank you for the wonderful tour. Please bring in more videos like these😁
That’s the idea of this channel. We have a few in the library now but we plan on having a lot more.
If Frank Lloyd Wright would have lived another 72 years this home may be an example of what he’d be designing, but with these more Modern materials. The Pyrex material he used similar in the S.C. Johnson building in Racine, Wisconsin. Your eyes always drawn to the outdoors with the lines blurred between inside/outside and much thought put into exposure to the Sun, passive design. This is a wonderful design, very original, it’s just nice to realize the evolution of architecture and materials both old and modern as a mix.
Incredibly thoughtful design that you can really see the brain power that went into it. Very inspiring!
💪🧠👍
Protected trees and their structural root zones, what a worthy concept, amazing!! [Hover over the roots...]. Oh! and Andrew, wtf [00:20:43] !
These house episodes are my favorites. Seems so unusual to me for architects to treat a pre-existing urban "garden" with the same care and consideration normally associated with building on more "wild" land. The solving for this intention is one thing that makes these projects so special. The strategic "perching" spots and rumpus activity inside the house have become part of the Austin Maynard branding brief and they are thoughtful and specific in a way that I think other designers are afraid to approach because they think (maybe) about the life of the space beyond the current client. Obligatory Corb reference duly noted and appreciated in context. All the brick ----> Oh my. Although I have really liked the other Austin Maynard houses you've shown us, this is the first one I would move in to tomorrow.
Yes the bricks are Melbourne University yellow bricks.
I really love the attention to detail and transitioning of materials as you go through different spaces. The house is interesting, I bet the occupants would discover newer things as the day goes by, I love the focus on the garden, personally as an Architecture student I think biophilic architecture is particularly essential in the president day. It has numerous advantages. Love your videos and I love this design. Thank you.♥️
Thanks for awesome result ! 👍😆 ..
that was such a valuable 20+ mins condensed from ...
20+ years of saving ...
20+ months of building ...
20+ weeks of documentation ...
20+ days design development ...
20+ hours of video production ...
... watching every second I was just thinking, all I could see was just years & years of hard yakka by all involved ! ... not just effort, probably *Skills* is better appreciation of what I just watched.
Thank you 🙏
A-mazing!! All the attention to detail, all those different materials working so well together!! Well done! You should be very proud of your hard work! This is a gem!
Interesting discussion around the "Garden House" concept. Please bring me more biophilic, sustainable design. truly enjoyed this conversation. sweet!
I've just rewatched this after reading a feature on the house in the German magazine Häuser - where it turned out there is a POOL! It took me rewatching and comparing shots with the floor plan in Häuser to discover it at 11:03. Pity it was covered up during your visit! Now I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to have a pool run up to your dining room...
I'm a little jealous of what you guys can do in Australia and still hit your performance metrics. Designing for energy efficiency in Canada usually results in very simple massing. Designing a house with a court yard feels like an unimaginable luxury.
Yes our architect designed houses have a lot more freedom to play here than other parts of the Western developed world. We also have the climate. The downside is we also have super expensive labour cost
Very inspiring. And exciting!
Organic baby!!!.....well done! 👍🏻
It all started to make sense when I finally remembered this is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Yes I have done it in some videos where I put a little bit of text explaining it's Southern Hemisphere. But I should do it to all videos. Where are you hailing from?
@@Archimarathon Houston, Texas. Where oil is, unfortunately, still king. But we're slowly evolving. Loved this house and your channel is really great.
Thanks Darryl. I will get to Texas one day.
Smart move to not connect to gas. Induction cooking & all electric appliances are so much better & cheaper to run.
Energy systems are typically little understood by architects & the worst offenders are plumbers, who just want to connect gas because that's what they always did.
Really appreciate your fun, clever & beautiful designs.
2:30 poor Kevin! But I actually enjoyed hearing about the specs. Maybe because it was my first time. Also, I have window envy already!
Check the description. I have included all of Andrew’s stats he wanted to talk about there down the bottom
I love details!!!!!
Forget the house, I love the garden!
To be honest, I really admire AustinMaynard´s work. There´s a lot of effort in thinking and designing every single detail. Is not easy to build a house in urban lots, sometimes the orientation is not the best, or as in this case, they have to deal with the existing garden with all these amazing trees.
I couldn´t agree more with the decision to prioritize the relationship of the garden with every room of the house. I think the result is a house that can be lived and enjoyed by all the senses. And is always great to be close to nature, surrounded by plants.
Well as I said about Chinese gardens, it’s both the house and the garden and the relationship between them that makes the difference
@@Archimarathon Absolutely
I love Australia
Brilliant.
I am glad you guys talk about Chinese garden. Not many people can appreciate or understand the logic behind the garden layout. Maybe you guys can do an episode purely about the Chinese/Japanese gardens?
Yes actually that was my thesis and my interest. I wish to be doing that actually in a proper Chinese garden. The closest we get without being in Suzhou again is the one in Sydney.
@@Archimarathon Yes I have been to that Chinese Garden of Friendship. Small but complex enough to allow you to spend hours in there. Love it.
I think it’s a must see architecture in Sydney.
brilliant building and discussion thankyou
You are most welcome
This is awesome!
love the diagrammatic plan at 6:03!
Properly publication plans to come as this is really fresh. Documentation plans are a bit hard to quickly interpret
This house is so beautiful!
Some great detailing, really like the way you turned down the skirting top shadow gap by kids climbing access hole.
Great that someone noticed that detail in that additional shot.
@@Archimarathon "God is in the details"
What an inspiration!
Thanks. That’s what we are hoping the video to do.
@@Archimarathon You two are great! I wish I had my tutors like you.
I have much to say today😊, 18:20, you were saying the aesthetics suffered a little bit due to the frames and something came into my mind... to have those transoms and mullions have a texture or form that mimics the small tree trunks with that trunk, I presume that will preserve the garden feel. Well that’s just me that came into my mind as i was enjoying this informative video. I love the layering of spaces ... the gardens animate the transitional spaces hence making those bridges enjoyable.
20:45 😂😂😂 you shocked me Sir with that gunshot sound😂😂😂
Above all thank you for such an informative and wit filled content.... keep it up Andy and Kev🙌🏻🙌🏻
Haha. We did actually a couple of episodes with the gun shot. See if you can find them. They were at the end of the videos. It’s worth watching till the very end of each video as there are often surprises
brilliant!
There are quite a few similarities between this house and your award winner from Canberra.
The separate pavilions, the connecting bridge ways, the cladding, the mirrors, the little nooks and crannies through out and the gardens of course. My general feeling though is one of a big disconnect between the spaces. It feels like I have to think hard where I am in the house and which way to go next, which way is up and which is down and where the plane is .LOL From a practical point of view the house must be a charmer to clean. Your presentations though are always priceless and hurray for the trees.
Obviously if you live there then the experience of orientation is completely different
I watch way too many architecture video but this house is my new favourite, and glad to know it's in Melbourne!
Glad to hear. Did you check out the other ones by AMA on our channel?
Just watched the Southern cross video. You guys should do a "architects roast" series
Too easy to be negative about things. We won’t do that
Great project! Loved the design thoughts around the garage. 👏🏼
Congrats!!!
Gracias
Brilliant
Thanks
Please do a Archimarathon video o the "House House."
I really like your videos and thank you for introducing these amazing work , the opening part never disappoint me!
Haha and often there are Easter eggs at the end too.
Been binge watching the house tours 🤩 thank you so much for the inspiration!!
You are welcome. Please share
Great episode guys! I love so much about this house. You really need to do an episode about fees.
Thanks 🙏.
Another masterpiece.❤🔥🙌🏽
Have a lot to say about this, but I love the design values you weaved into the thinking process; your attention to details overall, your respect for sites and nature, your understanding of the poetry of the site and living experience of the client.
Its something I don't hear or see in my country, they're experts in bulldozing everything.
Awesome work. Very inspiring and educative.💥
Do you have a book or something?, I would like to know more about the climate and sun orientation you always talk about in your design.
Look up passive solar design
@@Archimarathon Alright.👍
When shall we start Archimarathon tour again # #
Most likely around Easter and to Sydney. Same as the one that got cancelled last year
I can't imagine how could you design every millimeter in that interesting way I'm really fond of what you're creating in our world, there's nothing there by chance or not already thought of...How much time in average do you spend designing such amazing houses, I mean the design ideas and concepts part not the detailed drawing however I'm curious to know also how much time do you spend on detailed working drawings and construction
That is something for Andrew to answer
@@Archimarathon can't wait
This is a very productive and useful video. Please do make such educational videos where you explain the interiors, materials, and thought process. Really great design and keep it up.
Thanks. That’s what we plan on doing more of yes, when the pandemic is over. Have you checked out our other videos that also talk about these things?
@@Archimarathon I'll check them out for sure..Also if you can't visit the sites, you can still talk about some particular topics or show real life example building (through internet pics/ videos) and talk about their design process, how sustainable it is, etc..like a pod cast. Looking forward for more such videos
Check out the other videos then you’ll know
All these colorbond metal fences that collect spider webs should be double sided solar panels
Beautiful, intelligent architecture. I love all the sustainable, thermal efficient design aspects. However ... how many people live in this house? What is the total floor area? That's the only thing that bothers me a bit - all this, for only four people (probably).
Now, I could imagine a very similar place for me and Victoria, any grown children who want to live with us; and re-iterate three or four times with like minded communalists. About ten to twelve people. What a great place for a tribe!
I understand Andrew’s original design was a lot smaller.
Do you have birds flying and dying against the large windows? I have those problems with my big windows. It's heartbreaking.
What kind of trees are in the back of you two when you are speaking?
Cost to implement all these good ideas? 15KlL rain tank? Madness for a small house.
This house ain’t small.
Let's show everybody, how decorative cute and relaxing can be vegetals as best life maties, wish you show everybody how easy can be, planting veggies and having a true oxygen factory on a home wall, beans or pumpkins, pepermint or jasmine, they are the best life maties to ..switch the home fragrance right away. I was watching another TV documentary about gardening, raising up from the ground the soil for planting is healthier, even vegetals love to breathe in the air, that is giving everybody more space for gardening , yeah, until we dismantle every desert on this planet if possible guys, do you mind to recycle the submarines trick and bringing underground the smart agriculture thanks to the mirrors reflections bringing the Sun light down bellow out there in the desert, no extreme heat could ever stop us gardening. A lot of business opportunities for young generations..only loving Mother Earth's never ending beauties indeed
How airtight is it? How many people live in it? And how many kWh per day per person does it use?

@@Archimarathon thanks for more details
Just came across it as someone posted that in our Discord server.
its wonderful. but. do people really need houses that large????
Original design was a lot smaller but at the end of the day clients pay the bills.
but its like teenage sex....
When you opened up with the global warming nonsense, I had to change it and unsubscribe
Perfect!
