I watched this a few days ago but didn't get a chance to comment... I've been thinking about this building ever since - how is this not taught more at uni?! How is this the first time I'm encountering this building?! Just brilliant.. Seems like Heide II did DfMA before it was cool. Also, this video kind of seems like Andrew's audition tape to be the new host of Grand Designs (or similar, since Andrew probably wouldn't stoop to Grand Designs....) Looking forward to visiting when I next come to Melbourne!

Great video, guys. I really love how you explained the design aspects of the house in a comprehensive but down-to-earth way. I've visited Heide a few times over the years but brought my infant daughter with me for the first time recently. Lockdown meant that the building was closed but she thoroughly enjoyed exploring the secret gardens and walkways outside. I wish I could go inside and see the current exhibition with the original furniture. Thanks so much for a really great video.

I immediately fell in love with the architecture and the feeling you get when you are both inside and outside. I came away wanting to know more about the house and who designed it and found this video, thank you for such a wonderful explanation. I am not an architect, so the breakdown of why it is so great was very educational. I would love to have a home like this one day, it is perfect in every way, I am in love.
