Architect Designs a Narrow Home That is Only 6 Metres Wide (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
Situated on a site measuring only 6 metres wide, Light Scoop House required a compelling architectural response. As is necessary when an architect designs a narrow home, Molecule Studio enables function in a compact space, crafting a serene residence well-suited to the lifestyle of the client.
Understandably, when an architect designs a narrow home, access to natural sunlight is given high priority. Located in the bay-side suburb of Brighton, Light Scoop House is named in reference to its tapered-edge pavilion roofs which pull natural light into the home and lift the gaze upwards.
If an architect designs a narrow home without considering the lifestyle of the occupant, the design will not succeed. Molecule Studio thoroughly examines the personal likes, dislikes and daily habits of the client, producing a tranquil home that captures sunlight across its textural surfaces.
Molecule Studio punctuates the spatial plan of Light Scoop House with landscaped courtyards. In doing so, the architect designs a narrow home that fosters a distinct feeling of retreat, effortlessly connecting the occupant to nature.
Light Scoop House demonstrates that when an architect designs a narrow home, the outcome can exceed expectations. Using a limited materiality, Molecule Studio creates a sense of calm and careful construction that extends far beyond the demands of the brief.

I don't like this type of environment. Each house likes a cube and packed so tight with other cubes.

Lovely project! This design could easily have looked stark but is warmed up with the soft textures, vegetation and light treatment throughout. Bravo!
Great design given the limitations I did not expect such a lovely plan. Even solar included.
Can we all have a moment of awe for that kitchen? Talk about fabulous and sophisticated! Love the placement of the television. Another lovely Zen home. The glass wall and entry to the garden is wonderful.

The problem with this channel is that it shows very beautiful projects but the quality of editing is meh and the timeline is very CONFUSING! You don't even know which part of the house you're looking at. And please... don't even label it as a "house tour". You can only see "parts" of the house the architects mention.

Yes it’s time most architects kept to what they know best- architecture. Many are really embarrassing when they try to speak in poetry without knowing enough grammar to be convincing, using absurd invented terms that just confuse once the laughter stops, and personification where inanimate objects like floors are given human characteristics and have a “dialogue” with the ceiling.

When interested in these videos, by the thumbnail, I've started to think, "Oh. But it's by The Local Project," so I'll lower my expectations, because it's always a shot of this, a shot of that, a shot from above, a shot of a plant, etc. There's no story being told, with the camera. There's no flow, to allow us a sense of what it's like to live in that house. It's more like a magazine spread, and it always leaves me disappointed that I didn't get to tour the house. THIS house was so interesting and lovely, but I have no idea about the visual sense of moving from one end of the house to the other, and of how the bedrooms connect to everything else. The greater disappointment is that I want to like Australian channels more than ones made overseas.
That detail ❤️

How much a house like this would cost if i just want to build the part of backyard living room section?
It's nice house, but what I do not like about it, this style does not fit styles of houses next door, so it look like sore eye. As stand alone it would be very nice.
Visualmente buen video pero no se muestra ningún croquis de la casa o el conjunto para poder apreciar el ingenio. Parece que quieren esconder el secreto.
Why wouodn't you want a rooftop hangout spot? That's a perfect roof to put some outdoor furniture. Love the house but it kind of looks like no one lives there.

Great! You can compose a series pretty shots and play some airy-fairy words and spa music over the top of them. But, beyond the self-indulgent ‘aren’t I so profound’ production standards, no one has any real idea what the house is like. Please, in the future, put the horse before the cart and prioritise what you’re trying to communicate before you begin self-fellating.
Such a lovely dungeon vibe.

This merely house porn. There is no discussion on how this home performs with the environment ... heating/cooling/water storage etc. Architect is way too self impressed and clients were driven by "cool"? Like a 16 year old who is very pretty but doesn't have much depth. I'd prefer to see homes for adults that include environmentally conscious issues like the extreme heat and cold of (Melbourne?) Australia.

In Malaysia 6m of width is not narrow, it's the typical housing width for terrace type houses through out the nation.
I like these videos but I have to watch them with the sound muted.Every single architect's voiceover is highly irritating.A case of ' why use one word when 10 will do'.
A calm energy of a brick wall on all sides… ahh… So peaceful and zen-like without a single view to the outside. 🤦🏻♂️ Zoning rules in our cities are so anti-human. We’ve evolved to gaze over the horizon. 🐒

It's low slope butterfly style standing seam roof, which means that drain is located in the middle of roof. And yeah, usually those types of roofs are suited for areas with less rainfall, but if it's retailed correctly it absolutely could work in medium wetness as well.

Good morning :) I am so sorry to say, but I don't feel peace looking at the images of the interior of the house. To me their is too much info in the house. A bit chaotic. What I mean is, there is so much going on. For instance, the white painted concrete brick wall with the timber roof, that is a lot of info. To me that is the opposite of peaceful.
no idea what this looks like in real life
It may be peaceful, but for me, it looks like their living outside instead of indoors with all the brick interior.
