kind words, many thanks...!

Great for colder environments...not so much in very sunny parts of the country. I would want something less warming the house. This is great for London or Seattle WA, or Portland OR.

You stole my words. I think the same every time I see these videos on Architecture and interior designing. I am inherently pulled towards these topics and I do not have anything to do with these fields otherwise. I think these are the effects of we not discovering our passion before its too late :-(

Vidyasagarbb I feel the same, and I would maybe go for it if I wasn’t so bad at math

PJ well, don’t worry about being good at maths. All of these matter when u r in school. Once u graduate out of school and mastered common sense, u don’t need to depend / restrict urself because u r not good at maths etc. if this is ur passion and u can put a bigger purpose behind this, u should go for it. If u r not ready to change ur line suddenly, then u can start small as side business and then grow it once u think u r ready. I have much bigger passions in life and hence will not get into interior designs and architecture though I am pulled toward it. That’s my decision. Good luck.

Architects and/or Interior Designers must consider orientation, balance, flexibility, alternatives (and a bunch of other concepts) during design. Or just be experienced enough to prevent these issues. What you're mentioning isn't unprecedented but usually it's easily solvable.

I have dimmable lights problem solved

Rod Dempsey most people have never experienced a truly well designed home. The modern home is designed primarily by engineers rather than passionate architects. My stepfather is architect. I’ve learned a lot.

Just add a window in the bedroom...Architects add no value to the building process...said by an architect.

kind words...many thanks...

Yes, I like his voice too

Contractors build what people pay for. Many of us love to build homes that are interesting and unique, but for many reasons that costs significantly more money. Much more time must be spent designing something unusual, rather than merely copying familiar forms. Unusual buildings often require unusual building materials, which usually cost more. Unusual buildings often require more work because they do not follow the simplest design, and because the operations required are less familiar and practiced. Moreover, the majority of people do not have the taste nor courage to even allow themselves to desire an unusual home, ignoring the increased cost.

That's why you hire an architect

Seriously. They’re “ugly” too. I don’t even own a house, but it would drive me crazy to live in some of those houses. My brother just got one. Why do they put ONE narrow window on one end of the living room. Like at the very end where you can’t even dress it evenly? why not in the center or 2 (one on each side). And all these open floor plans are ugh. Windows in random places are ugly. Oh! Let’s not forget that all these new big houses are so close to each other that the sides of the house don’t have windows, if they do, it’s only on the first floor. I can’t wait to get a house. We’re looking for old. By we I mean Me. Lol husband doesn’t mind open floor plans but that’s because he isn’t home 24/7. I like defined spaces. Why are we, guests, served food on counters when there is a table...?? I would never put money on a house that does not have a dining room or a foyer. I also don’t like these new master bathrooms. Like we get it, they are spacious, but why not lay them out BETTER? Why is the tub right up to the sink? Why is the toilet in a tiny room?? The toilet is used way more often than the tub, so why is that not more comfortable/spacious? Maybe it’s the young me that aspired to be an architect... but does anyone else think that garage doors in the front, and bedrooms in the front of the house (first floor) are tacky? I like attached garages, but in the front? Really? Why are all these big houses being built on tiny lots...? Just saw an 1980s house that I really like. Living room, dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, family room with fireplace, 2 car garage, and 5 bedrooms (the one downstairs by the front door would of course serve better as an office/study/tea room), 3-4 bathrooms. The facade can be redone to look colonial. And it has a nice size lawn in the front. And a decent size back and side yards (space to add garden beds on one and a pool on the other.) and it was less than 1 million! $819k. Now that is a home. Rant done lol

Gerardo Salas it’s a powder room not a kitchen

I agree completely. Video is interesting and the ideas are cool but absolutely no coziness at all. Everything looks so...sterile

Catzepap well this is about architecture - built in structures. Mirror is just something you install later on, more for interior design.

Change the glass, it's not expensive.

César Córdova The windows are huge very tall. Way too expensive to replace. Double pained due to hurricane risk.

Hi! I also live in a hot and humid area, i recommend looking into roster bricks, overhangs for shade & air circulation, and light shelves for indirect sunlight use

@@IndigoPuma26281 Thanks

Study the architecture of indigenous buildings in your country.

movable slat shutters work well. My mom has these in her home in the carribean. she also has metal awnings on the outside which can be removed in hurricane season. placing mosquito screens on the window frames help for extra ventilation when the windows are open , also removable . Hope that helps x

I also live with a hot and humid person

Yes. keep the walls white, though the color of the floor may reflect a tone onto the walls and will generally impact. reds will be warm and active (busy) while cooler tones (even a dark cool espresso) will feel more open and neutral and supporting of the architectural structure and elements rather than distracting from it.
