This traditional Hungarian grape press has a tight layout with awkward traditional features that must be included in the design to make the building comfortable. This video will show you how I turned this tricky building into a well proportioned comfortable home. This unique house design is perfect for those looking for ideas to renovate traditional buildings while learning about the architect's design process.

I agree and I really hope these are turning into commissions for you. My sister does some drawings for clients as an add on to her property business. Unfortunately there are a number of clients that seem to push, push and push to get far more out of the brief than originally agreed

The hand drawn sketches combined with the computer generated renderings really demonstrate the clarity of the design and its intentions in creating a new space. The narrative is also technical and simple enough for a layperson to understand, but not overly verbose as so many other architects can be. Much respect from a fellow architect from Fiji 👍😎🤙

Totally love the inside architecture! The only thing I wouldn’t change is the outside in it’s original colors and even it’s slightly broken down aspect that I always love. The contrast with the modern interior doesn’t feel to disconnected to me. Do love the added openings and build-in bench on the terrasse. I wonder how they are planning to heat it and if adding a stove would be a necessity to keep heating cost down in winters?

I've been watching your channel for a while now. I love how you explain your design choices very clearly and mention other options you have cpnaidered in the designing process. You always consider every single detail very carefully, but you never forget to consider the overall picture either. Kudos for your excellent work! I noticed that you usually focus on small residential buildings. Would you also feel like tackling projects with the opposite problem - too much space. How would you allow for intuitive circulation and how would you make them feel warm and homely? Also, I would love to see you design buildings with different purposes: How about schools, religious sites, hospitals, hotels, train stations, office spaces or even museums?

@gemmawheeler 10 ай бұрын

Ah interesting, someone sent me a circular building actually which got me thinking about that kind of thing. Hopefully I’ll get to it because I have some ideas. In terms of the type of architecture, the majority of my experience is in residential design so that’s where I focus. And I keep it small to make it possible to keep the videos coming. But I never know what I’m going to do next so now you’ve planted the seed of the idea…?!

We actually own one of these press houses in this same area of Hungary and have spent the last 11 months renovating it. Our ground floor is an office/spare bed/cinema room. The 1st floor is our studio apartment with 3 piece bath. We haven't done anything to the attic space yet but will take inspriation from your roof. Our wine house is also fully loaded with smart technology, security and whole home audio (inside and out) all controlled with Control4. Ours in also painted white. These tiny houses are so lovely and well worth the conversion to be able to live/visit/stay in one of the prettiest parts of Europe. ❤
