From Drab to Fab! These design fix videos really help me to link these individual concepts form other videos of yours together. I feel like I'm starting to get it professor.
Awesome! So glad to hear that.
Masterclass.
These videos are incredible. I think it also highlights that the difference between good and great is made up of small details. Those details aren't even that expensive. It's all in the planning and design. If only more homeowners and home builders were educated on these things. Brent, you are an inspiration!
Passion for Craft Patreon member here (Setrof) and think more folks should join!
Awesome!! Thanks so much for being on Patreon. CHeers!
Top marks as always! That looked like a warehouse before you got your hands on it!
haha Thanks.
Knocked it out of the park - AGAIN! So fun to follow your logic...beautiful!
Thanks again!
Your work is incredible! In addition to a carpenter, you're a proper architect!
haha. hopefully working to become a master builder.
Excellent explanation. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Wow! This is my favorite "shorter" type of content you've put out so far. Thank you, and keep them coming!
Thanks, will do!
Great stuff! Would love to see more like this!
You got it! Thanks.
Very lovely
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for showing how important this is. Better decisions make better houses. I would like to see what that did to the interior too. Thanks Brent!
Ok, thanks.
Looks good
Thanks.
That is exactly what is needed. Great job
Thank you!
How did you do?? PERFECT fix!! Your re-imagined plan is sooo much better!! You're brilliant!
Thanks for watching.
Loved it! Great changes, great video! Titles still need work. "Design Fix: Boring and Blank 1920s Lake House"
Noted! Thanks.
Still not good. The "Drab to Fab" was the best title...
Outstanding lesson. You’re like a wizard with details. Keep these design video’s coming.
Thanks! Will do!
Impressed the the transformation every time. Love seeing the little details add up and make the design come together
Thank you! Cheers!
excellent!
Thanks.
Brilliant changes. Your rationale and description of every change is masterful. Absolutely love these before/after videos.
So glad to hear it.
This is great Brent! This has gone from a nothing/nondescript house to a fabulous, beautiful house!!!
Wow, thank you!
thanks so much for calling out the detail on the middle section of porch above columns! i need that info for my historic porch
Glad it was helpful!
Please keep making these videos!
It’s one thing to hear you talk about the right way to do things. It’s one step better to take a less than perfect design (like the homes I see/build all the time) and show what details are helpful to correct.
Also, love the hand drawn skills. Super inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to share! Please don’t stop!
Ok Thanks! More to come!
Love it Brent! This series has been really helpful in seeing how to implement a lot of your other principles.
So glad to hear that.
Brett, you did a really good job on this one.
The fact that they had to go to the builder to "fix" the plan, says volumes about today's architects. I am constantly having to change designs to make them what the client wanted in the first place. Kudos to the client for wanting something better and not just going with what was designed and ending up with just another lackluster dime store structure.
Nice. Thanks.
Love it, bringing artistry and life back to architecture.
Thanks!
This is all good stuff. Little details make a big difference. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful transformation. I really enjoy these design fix videos! They help me see and understand the important elements of design. Would there be any chance of seeing some photos or short videos of these buildings after the design fixes are complete? Thanks Brent! Great work!
Nice, when complete I'll share.
Love to see the finished product, really beautiful transformation.
Thanks. more to come.
I could watch this all day. Awesome work!
Wow, thanks!
Hey Brent, Patreon member here, love these videos! Showing how to incorporate all of the classical orders through these projects is wonderful as I'm a visual person. Reading books and learning about it is great, but learning how to incorporate it into an actual job is awesome! Thanks so much! 🍻
Great feedback! Thanks. And thanks for being a Patreon member. It means so much.
excellent examples of what should have been done ! we should be asking if the designer allowed the computer to illustrate the original drawings and that was the problem. It is critical that you put a pencil in your hand and start sketching !!
100%
Love the improvement on the garage side. Historic garage doors are commonly replaced with a door without much detail and with no light or oddly divided light. Garage doors being so large in area make a huge impact especially when they are on the front side of the house.
Well said!
Great illustration of how to spruce up a contemporary house. I work on historic yachts and we have to fill a lot of gaps that have been lost to time.
Nice. Thanks.
This is great!
Thanks.
Really talented work! Thnx Brent!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I estimate there are around 5 or 6 architects? in America regularly putting up canonical traditional buildings. I'am talking Robert Stern, Peter Pennoyer, and others. But interestingly, I don't think the others are connecting with the general public the way you do. I saw a thing about James Beard and people said despite his passion about cooking and all his books and articles, his TV appearances were only so-so. Anyway, it's just great that you can be so engaging on camera. If you could nudge even 1% of the construction in America in a better direction, that would be huge! And, sorry, the only other people I see really with helpful wide spread influence are the New Urbanists. Anyway, thanks for spreading this knowledge.
Thanks for the feedback. My hope is to nudge as well. Hopefully we can start to see some change.
Enlightening. I really value your design insights.
Thanks for the feedback.
My man Brett just casually destroying whoever did up that original
Haha.
Beautiful design! Would love to see that house while cruising the lake vs the other.
Worrying/wondering how much will be changed back to factory blah due to availability, cost, and especially regarding the deck, as modern safety code may dictate different railing height and width.
It will be a huge difference. I hope it upgrades the lake front.
Love it!
Thanks!!
It's so awesome that charm/curb appeal and interior ambience can be taught like this ❗️
Entasis = copying how Father God does it with trees, perhaps.
Word! Thanks.
would like to see finished house----love to see the drawings and hear your thinking.
This one is just getting started. Thanks.
Wow, your redesign of the exterior looks fantastic. I do have a few questions though:
1. If the clients told the architect that they wanted a cottage that looked like it was built in the 1920’s why did they get a design more suited to the 2020’s? Also, did they ask the architect to make changes or did they just bring the plans to you and ask you to do it? How did they find/contact you and start the process?
2. In redesigning the exterior, you moved around most of the doors and windows (and even added windows). How do these changes affect the interior layout of the rooms and the placement of cabinetry, especially in the kitchen?
3. How do you flash the tops of those Doric columns since they stick out past the edge of the upper deck? Do you use several pieces of flashing, overlapped both horizontally and vertically to completely wrap around the column caps or do you have a one-piece custom flashing made to tie everything together from the vertical upper deck edge onto the horizontal Doric column cap? Personally, I think the reason a lot of architects and builders don’t use column caps that protrude beyond the edge of an upper deck is that they don’t know how to flash them properly.
4. I believe this is the second house you’ve featured where you’ve done a redesign on the exterior. Did either of the original architects come to you after you had improved their designs and said “Can you teach me how to do this on future projects” or was your consultation more of "a one time thing"?
1. They were not trained in traditional design and didn't understand the details. The homeowner came to me for the changes. They showed me an inspiration pic.
2. I have worked only on the exterior with as few changes on the interior as possible.
3. Yes, it is just a proper flashing detail.
4. No they were homeowner led.
Thanks,
I freaking love your content man. You're an artist... Any chance we can see the finished houses after they're finally built?
Sure, i think they start the build this spring.
The top of the column has a capital. I’m concerned that rain water will collect on top of the capital and over time will cause water damage to the deck and columns.
There is no other way to do it. A slight taper to shed water and flashing would be how I would do it. Your mileage may vary.
Well they have been building this way for 100's if not thousands of years. I think we are ok. As Kurt notes, Good flashing is all that is needed.
@@BrentHull In a future video could you show the flashing on a historic building how it was done around windows and columns to learn the skills of why buildings lasted so long. Im always concerned about water damage probably because I grew up in an old 90 yr old house and the roof would always leak and my Dad couldn’t figure it out. He’d go up on the roof and brush tar on the seems, but it didn’t stop the leaks.
What do you do about gutters when they are covering the exposed rafter tails?
Its a great historic detail.
Beautiful changes, as always, and a great watch. Curious: how much of a difference in price do your changes translate into roughly, since most of the structure is relatively unchanged? (Otoh, obviously, more than just some cosmetic trim changes, etc)
Good question. I don't think that much. Trim built ups are more detailed, but mostly it is building the same thing with better attention to details. Thanks
Did they make all the changes you brought forward?
Yes, they did. Construction starts soon.
