Architect Designs a Modern House in a Hidden Forest (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
In a nuanced response to landscape, Winter Creek is a modern house in a hidden forest - a seamless reflection of the expansive farm in which the home resides. SOS Architects draws on modernist design principles combined with subdued interiors by Studio Tom to create a dwelling that is clean, modern and considered so that it doesn't compete with the site but, instead, harmonises with it. Located in Trentham, Victoria, Winter Creek is a single-storey, contemporary home that nestles into the site. SOS Architects deeply considered the placement of the house to ensure it both complemented and responded to the site.
The architectural approach used for the modern house in a hidden forest was grounded in a contemporary, sleek design. The form of Winter Creek consists of two distinct volumes - a floating roof that connects to the landscape, which encompasses the main living zones, and the ‘flat box’ section that is more private and introspective, housing the bedrooms and bathrooms. A key feature of the design is also the transparency of the dwelling. At many intersections, one can see through the house, further connecting the home to the landscape.
The interior design approach was very much an extension of the architectural design, with Studio Tom collaborating with SOS Architects to create a modern house in a hidden forest that feels seamless and cohesive. The palette is subdued, dominated by charcoal, neutral and grey tones, and furnishings are minimalist and refined. These choices mean the interior continues the theme of blending into the misty, grey, wintery scenes typical of the landscape beyond.
Continuing the seamless aesthetic that defines this modern house in a hidden forest, the AbsoluteMatte range from Laminex was used throughout the interior. The versatile nature of the product allowed it to be used for the joinery, wall panelling and door skins. The mood created by the matte finish becomes palpable as the light bounces off its surface. This sense of harmony offers a poetic response to the home’s natural surrounds.
An inspiring collaboration, SOS Architects and Studio Tom bring the clients’ vision to life with an attention to detail and harmony that becomes tangible as you walk through the modern house in a hidden forest. By creating a home that co-exists with the surrounds, there is an awe-inspiring and calm feeling that immediately envelops those who enter.

The glass wall bring the outside view inside this beautiful home. Really love the open floor plan. Thanks Local Project
Wow! The mood of this house brings such a sense of calm. This could only be achieved with the emended natural light and local environment. Nice work!
Former Landscape Architect...Siting a building is an important step. This design successfully integrates the Built Environment with the surrounding Natural Environment. Use of High Ceilings, Oversized Floor to Ceiling Glass Walls, and Muted Colors allows the Outside and Inside to Flow between them easily. Interior Spaces are Open and Flow between Rooms. A simple Palette both Inside and Outside helps create a Calming Feeling. The lucky Inhabitants will enjoy this Masterpiece for years to come.
The Local Project is a special channel that epitomizes a focus on attention to detail. The recent focus on properties primarily covered in dark colors is intriguing from a viewer perspective. One can appreciate the change of wavelengths that the eye experiences when viewing such projects without dismissing the (potentially) unhealthy nature dark spaces present. Please consider incorporating properties featuring more life and light without compromising what makes your work so captivating.

A little too dark for me and funny how the architect loves “the way the light bounces off the absolute black” when really it sucks all the light up. Just look at the sconce in the hallway - it doesn’t light anything lol. I do love the land it sits in, though.

Just more proof that nonsensical salesman talk is not limited to real estate agents & car salesman. Architects will also use fancy but self-contradictory words if you pay them well enough. 😂

3:27 It is quite dark, no arguing about that. But the muted mood and unassuming features only add to its appeal imo. 1:40 just watch the wall pop to a shade of brown when the lights turn on - like! 👌🏻

One of my top favourites. Elegant, calming and it lets the surroundings speak. A stunning job by all involved ✔️
Gorgeous space, I can image how tranquil and lovely it would be to live in.
Even though the mood and concept of your contents are darker, I am seeing how you showcase those beautiful homes with sophistication. More of this please. 😍💯
I love it- all my favorite color- black everything- its creepy but soothing

I think it's only creepy for those, unable to stand their own mind's chatter when lacking a certain amount of distraction/noise.
Absolutely beautiful. Quiet, calm demeaner is what I feel when I view the interior. Great job to everyone involved. Wish I was the owner.
It's insane Also I can imagine a really good horror movie
This house can fit perfectly a creepy hunted house movie

I’m intrigued how a hunted house movie would work. It would be quite different to a haunted house movie. I’m into it!

Formally express what is what was going on within the house…. huh? What? Architecture jargons way out of control here. It’s just a clean space with some bits of nice furniture. What’s there to express and what’s really going on within it?

Nah i think your house would be perfect for that 💀
Absolute stunner! A delicate blend of mood and a minimalist lifestyle. If I was a vampire this would be my lair 😎
I love the simplicity of this home everything about it is so calming ❤❤
Beautiful home. . . . Very serene.
Soooo creepy! And that poster doesn’t help 😂
A perfect architectural expression of a central Victorian winter. Bleak and unrelenting.
The local project is my inspiration. Keep being inspirational.
What a wonderful home.
In _one_ word: serene! 👌🏻🌱
Восхищение!!! Спасибо за вдохновение!!
It will be really helpful if they also mention how much it costs to build this home.
It's strange, throughout the whole video I didn't get any real sense of the layout of the house or how the spaces related to each other (probably because a lot of the video was focused on discussing laminate) but I also didn't get any sense of what the laminate was made of or how it looked close-up (other than it was matte black). Was it a video for the house or the laminate?
I really love this open 1 floor
its like a lovely sanctuary in the middle of the forest
@The local project congratulations for 1M subscribers 🎊🎉 please keep it up u are doing a great job over there ✨👏

Thank you so much - we couldn't have done it without our amazing community ❤️
بالتوفيق ❤
Looks like the holiday home of Batman..
architecture looks like my local dentist office and the interior minus the furniture reminds me of a coffee shop to be fair
Santuary house,my heart house ❤
nice place
I love it but I can't help but think about the hush movie and I'm scaaared
Mies would be happy !
clean
❤️❤️❤️
It's all very melodramatic
🙌
😍
Total area
🥰
there is a little bit of Mies in this project
The mood it creates is def one of depression.
Everything beautiful except the fact that that gap between wall and ceiling is wrong. If it were 3/6 cm only would be better...
👍
DR. STRANGE???!!!!
Gorgeous but would love to curate a different art collection for the space. The single painting contributes towards a bit of a psychological downward spiral.😌In my opinion, replacing the existing work with a minimal display of few vibrant pieces with nature themes or adding to the current exhibition with pieces expressing a diverse range of personality, color, texture, and emotions would balance against the minimal, clean, de-saturated design of this space.
This building violates this landscape rather than complement it - that giant purposeless concrete slab is the most egregious assault. The dark interior makes me feel suicidal just after several seconds of watching.
Not for me, too dark and cold and dare i say creepy. Jet Black takes out any sense of warmth. The materials too are so cold and devoid of feeling.
Is it just me or he looks like dr strange 😅
none more black
Boring
What a depressing colour scheme.. not right. Bloody depressing. Concrete slab. Low roof. Boxy. Love this channel but this one is rough 😕
I can see myself being batman if i could live here.
