Hats off all builders who manifest the dream🥰 and the architects' brilliance👌

The architect designed the add on slope going straight towards the house so that all the rain water will rush against the house and then will puddle on the base of the slope. Hmmmm. I hope they weatherproofed the side of the house well.

Of course they did. It is common in historical homes and very easy with modern materials.

@@TheEmbrio Just because modern materials do it, doesn't mean that it was done on this house. Hopefully it was.

Greg is so talented, nice to see him back on another project.

The house looks fantastic and I wish I could work with such a talented and creative architect as Greg. I think the idea of "fitting into its surroundings" is overstated. Yes, the natural materials fit in with "nature," but a modern structure is no more harmonious with the countryside than is a 70s box. Also: the sloping land in the back was not addressed. A deck or patio connecting the new build to the existing structure would have a unifying result and also correct the slope. I'm sure Greg could invent something great!

Gorgeous transformation and landscaping, but I think they might've done without the extension. It sometimes seems like the architects feel compelled to leave a mark; it's not sufficient for them to simply design a better ordinary house.

They gained so much with the budget…well done.

Worth every penny.

The house looks fantastic after the reno.🥰

The exterior surfaces are a big improvement, but not the extension. It could have been just as dramatic and contemporary, and seemed like it belonged to the house. The similarity of the exterior doesn't save it from seeming just "stuck on".... and how is the water that drains off the roof not going to wash straight against the side of the original house? Bad idea. Can't go wrong with huge windows, though...

I like the young architect, He has good taste, and He is capable of transforming what his clients wanted

George kept hinting, sit here with a cup of tea... No tea!!

I really like Greg. Very kind, insightful, and talented man. If he ever wants to model, he's a sure hit. :) Home looks amazingly different and beautiful. Hats off to family for pressing through such a stressful time with perseverance, determination, and class. Well done. George...always a good man to have in your corner.

@@shastac1396 Yeah..me, too. I may be old, but I recognize a beautiful man when I see one. Nothing weird here, just speaking the truth. What was most important to me was his kind way of working with all the people.

That’s a great transformation. First of all, glad they didn’t leave the wood planks over the window, it looked horrendous. And I think they could’ve saved the money and not build the extension. They had perfect corner for the dinner table on the other side and maybe it would even look better without that triangle from the outside. It looks out of place when the house is so rectangular, very obvious it’s not original.

Gorgeous transformation for a reasonable price

What they need in that extension is a circular couch facing the glass doors. Beautiful and cozy and relaxing.

what a gorgeous finish. i love the exterior design, front to back and the interior as well. from old country to modern country look. land scaping is lovely as well.

It’s so good to see Mr. Clark!

Amazing result! 👏

Great idea and a transformation which is very inspiring for the neighbors who live next to them "in a boring box" ; ))

V beautiful transformation

I like the whole 'big idea', however the exterior cladding just ruins it. It feels completely disconnected from the surrounding houses and will feel dated in 10-20 years. If the house was made with simmilar colours/materials as neighbouring houses, I would've liked it more.

Homes built for living. Wonderful.

Chaotic- like everything else these architects come up with.

This turned out beautifully but I have never watched one of these where they stayed in budget. I hope the young people involved do not end up breaking under the strain of added debt.

It was a bit sad to see that they're living with stick furniture until bills are paid down. But, they're doing the bulk of the work went such a long way toward giving their children a more beautiful home for their growing years. Well done!

I am curious about the long term effects of having a roof slope towards the wall instead of away from it. It looks good but I personally would have extended the kitchen into the back half of the garage, extended the top floor over the garage and put an ensuite washroom with a huge window overlooking the extended kitchen area and have the back wall of the entire back extension all glass. That wonky angled roof is striking but really sticks out like a sore thumb in the whole area.

​@@mujkocka that kind if roof design has been used since the 50s. that is practically a butterfly roof. The smaller triangle at the lower portion of the roof is designed to slope downwards where water will be caught by a drain tube on the side of the house. Pause the video on 46:13 and you'll see it.

immaculate taste!!!! bravo.....

Makes me giggle - seriously these ones look like a Scandi timewarp to 30 years ago. The old stuff everyone now wants to change haha and yet the UK is viewing it as new and modern, meanwhile a lot of older english design is very inspiring to new architects

Greg is very talented and handsome.

Beautiful family. Very frustrating extension. If the extension was a square set at the same angle, it could have worked much better. As it is, grabbing the view makes you want to push against that outside wall.

So the architect used a triangle shape once and now does it again, unnecessarily. The house looks great without it and the angle inside means you can't use the wall space much and end up having wasted space.

I hope there is no water pro. The angle of the house might causes drainage isssue

Please! The music! aaaaaarrrrggghhhh.

I don't get why they would want two small living rooms right next to each other.

It’s a great shame that they just did the look and not took the opportunity to make it more energy efficient

This value of the house increased more than the $85K they invested. Living through and in the middle of renovation sucks, but they are looking at a future of raising toddlers for the next few years, meaning they will spending a lot of time at home when not at work. Make it a special and magical place to be everyday for everyone during the times they will remember forever. The original house was horrible so the man made it into a beautiful home for his family and is criticized. I am not getting it.

The house now functions so much better and even if they need to eat rice and beans for awhile (Dave Ramsey) it will taste better while they enjoy living there. Lol Also, the home is now more conducive for attracting a side hustle.
