Don't Copy This House Design
Вставка

- I design homes in the UK and I am always keen to learn from architects in other countries. I was asked by my followers on TikTok to review this house in Ontario, Canada from the @theotherstallone channel. The external appearance is well composed but the entrance, stair location, open plan design, the excessive use of exposed stone walls, and window positions are all badly thought out, in my opinion.

Thank you for your comments especially the thermal leaks from the stone walls
The stairs is like an egg slice
Not a good image and the orientation is wrong
And the window heights are too high or the windows too shallow
And I like warmer tones
And those stone wall could rip the skin off you
And hide the sink !! You need to hide the burnt pots and pans
The stonework is just a facade cladding, referred to as stone veneer. If it was built by a developer it is more than likely over timber frame construction or possibly ICF, if it was owner commissioned.
I think the thing above the oven is a tap to fill pots and pans but im not to sure.
Yes, someone else explained it. Not a bad idea
I had the same reaction for the entrance. Entering a home should provide a welcoming feeling but we get cell bars instead. I do think the open space can be broken down with curtains or other separating accessories like panel room dividers. But that view of the water can't be altered in any way. I like the approach of having multiple textures when walking around but there's a certain balance to respect. This would still be a dream house for me nevertheless. I enjoy this type of video so thank you very much!
Thanks, I’ve been making videos like this on TikTok for a while but will post more on here from now on
Yes, absolutely agree. It doesn’t seem to flow or use the space well either, & why all those tv’s & multiple kitchens yet tiny bathrooms. Quite like the cantilevers, indoor grow areas and covered exterior space but it the rooms just don’t do it for me. From the exterior i thought perhaps we were in for a post-Frank Lloyd Wright experience but sadly this isn’t so.
I know, it flatters to deceive from the outside.
That's not a second kitchen in the living area. That's a wet bar with wine racks.
That's a pot filler above the range. It's just an additional faucet for filling large pots with water directly on the stovetop. Very common in North America.
Thank you
the "stone walls" are probably just an outer decorative layer a couple cm thick
I wondered about that after posting the video
@@RealLifeArchitectureas with most north american construction it's more theater decor than anything else
@@AmauryJacquot we have brick “slips” in the UK. Fake brick effect tiles that can be stuck on.
lol You are brutal but honest ..
👍
I sometimes wonder how such "architects" with such mediocre technical and design errors, get such huge projects?
It looks like a student project brought to life.
Good point. A large number of homes in the UK are designed by people who aren’t architects
@@RealLifeArchitectureI'm pretty sure that the original buyer has more money than sense / taste and been taken advantage of
Spec / Flip house for some wealthy person who won't live there full time, has a chef or catering for parties and doesn't care about the heating bill.
That would make sense
Agree on the toys remark
Thank you
Agree 👍🏼
This would be the home of a corporate executive, who would entertain large groups of guests often. So, yes, it features grandiose proportions, outsized appliances, and more toys than most people could even imagine having in their homes. In the corporate world, these things would be expected, as would the oh-so-modern architecture. The style came about in the 1950s, when the floor would have been marble or some other extravagant material. When the middle class became attracted to the style, such real estate developers as Joseph Eichler built homes for them in more appropriate proportions and with more affordable finishing materials. The houses are appreciated to this day, architecturally, but because they were very energy inefficient . . . Well, you can imagine. Fascinating to look at, but completely infeasible for today's living conditions.
I am familiar with Eichler. I suspect your assumption about who lives out this house is correct, it makes sense
Pot filler… :)
👍
Cultural alarm
What do you mean?
