This house is a masterpiece.
That place is stunning!!! I'm so jealous. 😉
I love this so much. From the inside out, it's perfect.
Nice house. I'd live there. But I'd keep a low profile about the Eco-equality of thousands of square feet of glass.
This is my style all the way! I love modern minimalist architecture. I would only need one third this size for living. Love the floor to ceiling windows. I'm a fan of Japanese residential design too.
I thought your dog was a sheep
I really like the design!!
The Hudson valley is my home. I love glass houses.
Must be pretty life-changing to want to give that place up.
The taxes are probably too high
I saw this house passing by on the train just wow
Beautiful! I love the house and the video is very well done.
Who washes the windows?
Gorgeous house!
beautiful
Amazing !
Awesome
Fasinating
would love this on the ocean
My fellow Guyanese🤗
It's a glass box.
Great design but how many birds do you kill a season?!
Very nice...just make sure you plan to live there a long time. These homes can be a tough sell with a limited buyer pool who wants it and can afford it. Unique homes like this are expensive to build and rarely does the seller make their money back.
what's the point if you can't walk around in your underwear
Charles why can't you? :)
who says you can't?
Sabrina Spencer
I like this answer 🤣👍🏼
Charles, you old "fart", I don't think passersby are bringing their lawn chairs and cocktails to gaze up the hill to ogle and wave.
My house of the last twelve years was on a cul-du-sac with twelve other residence and we had no window treatments at all. The South facing facade was all windows overlooking down a wooded slope. The site was oriented in such a manner one would have to walk into our yard stand and point. Try as we might, no one seemed interested and I had an in-shape wife!
no neighbours, why not..
Cold,in more ways than one
Don't throw stones at this awful glass house.
Someone should use this house in a horror movie. The possibilities are endless for a gripping and terror ridden story.
Lucky lady
Looks more like "I wanted a house that reminded me of an office building built in the mid-century in the International Style, but I'll call it 'mid-century' because whatever."
Interesting house by Toshiko Mori, but the description is a bit painful.
is this not considered mid-century modern style? curious..
@@mattmarkus4868 Yeah, this isn’t really the style. Mid-century modern is more space-age looking; this just looks like an office building. Even the furniture doesn’t really fit the style.
I want my house to feel like titanic lol
I build these houses. I can build them even better than she has. But, I also like animals, and the problem with this particular house is that the birds keep flying into the glass... However, I found a solution. If you like the slate she talks about at 2.27 "Vermont Slate" I know exactly what place in Vermont they have this slate. I can cover your floors, stairs, outside walls with this slate.
I live in a glass house, and work at a historical glass house. Havent seen a dead bird yet.
Great house for a peeping tom
I bet its so loud during a rain storm
Why is my anxiety planning my funeral?
2 solar panels? Wow, earth changing.
Install steam glass windows and I'm in
super 1
I love the house but mid century means middle century, like 1940- 1960.
please there is english subtitles
She says she cares for environment but her footprint is way larger than average person. 👍. If its ok for her then ok for all of us.
I’m the 100th comment!!!!!
did I see a balcony without entrance to it? hopefully not...
there is an entrance its just cleverly hidden to not disturb the design
Sounds like a trini I could be wrong
I love it but it's too much white. It comes off as cold and sterile. I would have used more warm colors to make it more cozy and homey.
She’s a physician, they like the clinical, sterile feeling.
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672 Ok, Boyd; now you're just being mean..😄
Triandad?
Everyone who buys big houses always downsizes. Why do we become so stary-eyed with large homes?
Not everybody.
She saved the bamboo forest by using it as a flooring for her 3000 sqft home. And it's just her and her dog living in a 3-bedroom, 3000 sqft home. PRAISE THE WOMAN FOR CARING SOOOOOO MUCH ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT!
No children, no family? I wouldn't choose such a life, no matter how beautiful the house is.
Its like living in a 1960's office building on 6th Ave
(PS: Philip Johnson invented the glass house 70 years ago so this is an old idea.)
So?
Mies van der Rohe invented the glass house -- Philip Johnson's house (when he was working with Mies) was built before the previously designed Farnsworth House near Chicago.
as if concrete houses are the latest model ..
This is straight modern, no mid here
What kills me about homes like these is the fact that people spend millions building and countless hours designing with an architect, but then don't hire anyone for their interior design. The furnishings completely kill the vibe throughout the home and don't seem to mesh at all.
Or, like, you know you're having a photoshoot... put your toothbrush away.
She lost me when she said the house she was living in was 3,000 square feet!
Right! Maybe she's moving because her kids moved out or she got divorced.
nice lady
Checking off all the liberal boxes.
So, basically this is just a promotional video about the house that wanting to sell.
Sugar mama👀
i love the house but I hate the furnitures
Sorry I don’t buy the “I wanted an environment friendly house” speech. It should take soooo much fuel heat this with all these glass walls. Be honest and say “I wanted a house that would make me feel good and look good”
Geo-Thermal will heat it without using too much power for pumps, etc. But all that glass - just the manufacturing of it was a huge tax on the environment.
But hey, I love it. Just tired of virtue-signaling.
Michael Padovano. Something that costs 20.000 dollars to install must be using a lot of natural resources. I guess my point is: this is a beautiful house. Looks gorgeous. But when you make a point about environment for a house made of glass -common- it sounds soo phony.
Are you dumb?
its free energy provided deep down in Mother Earth...infinite. what they used in the first skyscrapers in NYC before the oligarchs invented the meter and our serfdom to it!
But it has two solar panels...
a peeping toms wet dream
so basically I grew tired of building storefronts of glass for New York's finest and decided to buildy my own to put myself on display...
Floors are bamboo from sustainable forests. Shame about the thousands of miles it traveled to get to you.
I believe bamboo grows in the US as well.
Couldnt agree more!!!
Michael Padovano In New York?
Great question! Haha. I think in the southeast?
Bamboo is literally growing in my backyard like a weed that cant be tamed lol. It can grow pretty much anywhere.
It’s an office or hospital, not a home.
Who do people think living in a office building is cool? You can smell the New money.
What are your thoughts on the Glass House in New Caanan?
Not very interesting....looks like a Frank Lloyd Wright design redone....smh
Well aren’t you clever.
I would never want to live in this house.. it's tasteless. No disrespect tho, just saying.
But she may feel the same about your home.....hmm.
Other houses would all look the same, wouldn't that be fun!
I totally agree. Emotionless is the word I would use. Cold!!!
I know I’m meant to feel jealous but this whole thing just makes me feel sorry for her :(
It’s sad that a women that beautiful and successful does not have a husband
why is it sad
neo69121 many successful people have successful children, and her good looking genes may not be passed on.
Lol, that’s your dream and idea of ‘perfection’
Wanted: single man, must have window washing experience.
@@sharksport01 ha ha ha ha haaaa! And his own ladder
she's clearly single
Only thing bad about this house is the Buddha idol inside. Serve Jesus, the truth to make it to heaven.
