Perfect design...co-living with family is coming back in trend & with the cost of living skyrocketing in so many countries is actually quite a sensible solution. This design captures a wonderful essence of privacy & togetherness.

I love the varying levels and spaces and especially how the design achieves the aims of it's philosophy. What a fabulous lifestyle he has created.

What a heart for community he has! Very lively collaboration of two homes. Love it! Also, how wonderful for neighbors being there for each other in times of need…for example, physically challenged or the elderly having a need for caring neighbors.

I love the sense of exploration that he created and the material selection is very expressive. ❤

Perfect! I would love to see this house as a character /setting in a movie. Also loved the sound scape in this.

Thank you, I’ve been having a go at “music-less” videos to focus more on the sounds of the home.

Great design and use of small lots 👏👏

Grateful to have channels that feature living houses.

Thank you for sharing unique projects like this one 🫶

A powerful statement about living in community with reliable people.. enjoyed this tour thank you.

Nice houses. It will be great if the video can start off giving us an overview of the layout. Can’t make out how the whole house looks with these still shots.

Lovely!

So thoughtfully arranged. Beautiful

Beautiful, could imagine myself retiring there and having a peaceful life with my lovely Neighbour

Great video Anthony. Awesome to see you exposing other homes from across the world

To think this was created from an open lot. I can't even imagine designing or visualizing this on paper before it was constructed.

I love Japanese architecture both old and new. Having Japanese in laws and visiting Japan I never tire of looking at dwellings. So many innovative ideas.

super interesting

divina, fabulosa

I love everything about these houses and their concept. The ‘communal’ alleyway is a wonderful way to connect neighbours, the interior materials of the houses feel warm and inviting and the change of levels creates interesting spaces. Does anyone know where these are?

super nice house! does anyone know what kind of wood he used in the interior project?

Kindly have a full house tour video... Of this... 😊❤

Was this 8-minute video not enough? Haha

Stunning and unique building! Also beautifully shot. I always love the composition of the shots, so artistic! If I may just comment on one aspect I noticed since watching this channel which may be a matter of taste but perhaps something to consider: I sometimes feel a bit desorientated as the shots - beautiful as they are - shift rapidly to a different location in the house with seemingly little spatial connection between them (perhaps I'm the only one who feels a bit lost this way). It sometimes gives me the feeling that I haven't seen the whole house, which leaves me somewhat unfulfilled. I'd like to be more constructive as I unfortunately don't have a specific solution in mind within the style of the channel but I just wanted to share in case this feedback is useful :) Anyway, I keep watching for the tasteful stills and wonderful architecture so keep it up!

Hi Tony, thank you for your comment, it's something I'm aware of (and amplified probably with this particular video given it's two houses in one). If I may offer some perspective from my end, but please don't take this as me being defensive or 'biting back'. The main reason it isn't so 'sequenced' is because the story the architect presents isn't room-by-room, instead we focus on bigger picture things like site, brief, challenges, idea, materials and sustainability. There is a short segment about the layout (with the floor plan) popping up, and I try to make that a sequence which gives a visual flow. So with a story the way I present it, I try to pair shots that relate more so to what they are speaking about, rather than what room is next. So if they talk about the brief being a grand kitchen and dedicated home office, I'll show the kitchen and home office, and they might be at other ends of the home. If that makes sense? There are also parts of the home I don't film, whether it's at the request of the owners, or it's just not that interesting to the story, or it's a room that becomes the 'shoot day storage' (as not every home is filmed 100% the way it's lived in). So this probably contributes to your feeling of not always seeing the whole house, as sometimes the whole house isn't shown. Back to your original point of disorientation and lack of sequencing, I'll continue to work on this.

@@SimpleDwelling I appreciate your reply and perspective! It gave me a better grasp of what's behind the desorientation that I couldn't exactly put a finger on. I may be more sensitive to it than most. I definitely understand the format makes spatial awareness more difficult and that it's not an easy task to include it. Glad though that I wasn't crazy thinking some parts of the houses were missing! Thanks again for your thoughts and for making these videos - they are both inspiring and relaxing :)

I also wish we could see each space for longer. The images flip through too quick to see all the great ideas in these houses

Hi Chris, can we dive a bit deeper into your comment? I ask because typically I have a single shot up for 5-6 seconds, then I cut to another 5-6 second shot. Would you prefer something longer? I'm just curious as a lot of other architecture channels, and KZread at large, are all about the fast cuts, and I'm here thinking 6 seconds for one shot is a lifetime...

It's showing up on my end. Once you click the little CC button, make sure you then click the cog (settings, right next to CC), click on subtitles and then select 'English (United Kingdom), and you should be right to go. Let me know if this works for you, Clara.

The guy is a little verbose 😅 but the project is very nice and well executed 👌
