Your changes take the house from "good to great." Your thinking on the changes keeps this from looking like any "new construction" build, to being something special. I look forward to seeing what happens with the rest of the house.

You’ve taken it from builder/architect blah to fabulous. Love how you explain exactly why you make changes and how it creates a building narrative. Please do continue these each week. I learn so much from every one. The original design was just computer copying and pasting standard elements that lack all the historical architecture that you have added.

These series are an amazing juxtaposition to the typical Build show videos that talk about cutting edge products and building science.

Love that you made the columns more substantial and eliminated so much wall to wall glass. I read somewhere thar too much glass gives the impression that there is not enough visual strength to give a sense of support. Also, as an interior designer, I find that the long expanses of glass make it difficult to place furniture so that the room looks balanced. Very nice improvement. I love your work/videos.

Another terrific video. This one much subtler than the others I've seen. It's so nice to hear you speak about why you make the changes you make: the reasoning behind them. Really nice for me. I just look at a place and think it's not quite right, but can't put my finger on it. I'll often try to draw out corrections or improvements, but I'm just playing around because I don't quite know why... they just look right to me. Kinda envious of your education LOL, and of course your abilities. These videos really make me think. Thanks again!

Are you kidding me?! If I want technical information I listen to your podcast, I follow your KZread channel specifically FOR the design details and inspiration. It is dead easy to look at a modern facade and know that something is "off" it is far, far more difficult to diagnose the problem and fix it. I have "Get Your House Right," by Marianne Cusato (enormously helpful) and the entire "Not so Big House" collection by Sarah Susanka, also helpful. But nothing is as helpful as watching you work out what is wrong and provide ideas for fixing the problem. Seeing your design process is enormously helpful. Please keep it up!

I would love to see how you’d recommend folks adapt or modify their houses in the Suburbs built in the 70s and 80s. They’re all cookie cutter boring homes. How can we tweak or modify them to show our passion for design but with more modest means?

Hi Brent. I’m a stay at home mom that dabbles in wood working and furniture restoration. What are some things I can do to fix up the exterior and interior of my boring 1979 ranch style house that I’m stuck with for now. I thought of an eyebrow or cedar shingles above garage door. It’s really a terrible new house with no character. Im in love with craftsman houses but I don’t wanna waste money decorating with moldings/etc. for a different style house.

@BrentHull

Жыл бұрын

Yes, that is the challenge. I feel your pain. In my 62 bad ranch house, I have upgraded moldings but not done much outside except landscaping. Save your money for the better next house.

Maybe its ridiculous, but our home is a lower end midwest single story 1950s house and id be amazed at seeing what it was historically "going for" and how it could be improved.
