My son want to be engineer, that's why i told him to watch your channel. Now he is motivated to become like you, and we have a father and son bonding while watching you, thanks man!

That is why my dream house is not just 1 house but 3 houses, one child-friendly, one resort feel, and one accessible to all my needs (Workspace).

I love how this person gives us advice like a close friend.

Thanks for the birthday greetings fam ❤️

04:40 It's basically called the Greenhouse effect, that's why you can't just build an all-glass house, there has to be some form of ventilation. This is also true with slab roofing since the slab will absorb all that heat from the sun during day and emit it inside during the night. You can't just build slab roofing or glass house just because you like it, you need to mind the side effect and how to counter it. One way to counter heat is to put tall trees around the house, if you can and don't mind cleaning dead leaves on your gutter every now and then. You can also look into evaporative cooling system, but requires large window openings for air movement. For slab, there has to be heat reflective insulation under the slab with ample moving air layer in between. You can also try one-way mirror film on sides directly hit by the sun.

Thank you for this! Thank you for not being too proud to admit that not everything that looks perfect really is perfect. It takes a lot of humility to make a vlog like this. Very helpful for a lot of people to learn from! More power to you guys!

There's no perfect home talaga Eng. Slater, sabi nga ng prof ko sa design dapat talaga daw talaga versatile yung spaces para easy to convert lang po whenever a situation arises.

I love the honesty! Thank you for sharing your regrets. It makes us feel okay with any misses we have in our humble homes. Regardless of the errors, the SKYPOD still is one of the prettiest properties out there! Kudos, Slater and Kryz!

Your editing skills and cinematography is on another level. Keep it up sir slater 🙏

the typical coffee broll intro. level up na cinematography & editing skills nimo engr!

im not even interested about engineering stuff but there's something about people that talk passionately about their passion/life. it really pulls you

Galing ng editooor and the song ang bg music choices! 💯

I'm not even an engineer pero I just love watching Slater explains things about the house stuff. Kryz and Slater have lots of wisdom that you will not be bored talaga to watch them. 😊

dayumm who's editing Sir Slater's videos? so aesthetically pleasing, manly and clean

Happy Birthday Engr. Slater Young! more blessings to come to you and the whole SKYFAM!

sa dami ng gamit ng wife ko, i know the kind of dream house for us! a warehouse! hahahahaha!!

Thank you for sharing your work and wisdom. You did a great job! When the baby starts walking and running, he will touch everything. He will bump into sharp corners. I take care of a 2 yr old grandson. Baby proofing will be next project so you can enjoy the physical playing. Things will change and the way you use the house will change again.

I really like this episode kay gina discuss nimu ang unsay mas maimprove pa sa work during construction and after. As an architect, another checklist ni pagcheck sa site before, during, and after the construction. Thanks, Engr. Slater!

I am a lover of all black kitchens or kitchens with colors that have blue or black. So, glad you didn't go for another all white kitchens like everyone else.

It would be funny if the video started with him saying “Nothing” tapos biglang black screen for the rest of the video HAHAHAHA

My dad is a civil engineer for more than 20 years now but he still keep commiting mistakes.. Yet, he learn from those.. Nothing or no one is perfect. 😊

I think pwede ka Professor. You teach so well, and I feel that you love it, the passion, it reflects. ❤️

I’m learning so much from your vlog. Really took notes of the things for our future home. More vlogs about engineering stuff, at least for us na di engineers can easily understand your world at di kami madaling maloko ng iba. Love from Zamboanga 🥰

You know what slater, lalo mo kong pinahanga, admitting your regrets were so amazing.

The tile gaps can indeed be annoying, but I just learned to accept that not everything can or will be perfect. Even if you're able to perfect 99.9% of your tiles, that 1 slab that's slightly uneven will just stick in your mind, discounting the perfection of the 99.9%. And even if you do get the tiles perfect, you will eventually find something to get annoyed about like the slightly protruding hinge, or not perfectly set corners, etc. So don't sweat the little things. :) You already have a home that's more beautiful than most of the people you will ever meet. :)

Love your house despite some minor regrets you mentioned. Your bedroom is better facing East and getting the morning sun. If your room is facing West, the heat will be scorching hot. You're good you chose the right spot.

Happy Birthday Slater. Nung nagmove din kami sa sarili namin bahay since budgeted ang home improvement namin, ang advise sa amin is unahin ipaayos ang kitchen and laundry area na maayos na sampayan w roof dahil everyday daw ginagamit yun. Make sure din magkaron ng storage room para sa mga seasonal na gamit like xmas decors etc. And lahat yun ginawa namin, totoo nga bukod sa sala, dining and bedrooms.

Love that "See you sLATER!" in the end! 👌 anyway, happy birthday Engr! 🤘

Haha you two look like best friends when talking about your home

I can tell na super OC si slater. Hahahaha. And man I totally I understand. Even the smallest detail na namamali bothers me a lot. Hahaha

Waiting for Mr Oliver to react on this and do some recommendations

just put an awning and have the glass tinted .Its an easy fix. I learned a lot. If the tiles are really sharp use a sanding block to blunt the sharp edge of the tile. Dont sand the top part just the protruding edge

Beautiful house, there will always be regrets. I built modernist house in the UK 17 years ago. I had a solar control glass on the facades that took in the orientation of the sun, I also had electromagnetic glass to the front facades for privacy. The window frames were hugely expensive, Schuco frames. Structurally bonded glass to frames for seamless look. Great job with the house , I may build a house in the Philippines one day, so great to see design ideas and cues. God bless 🙏

Im not an architect nor a designer by profession but i learnt a lot while we are building our house. Functionality and practicality must comes first before design. Maliit lang bahay nmin at ako lang nagdesign by grabbing inspiration online.😅 Since nanggaling ako sa bahay n malaki i realized gaano sya kahirap linisin kaya we decided to make it small and simple. Nilakihan n lng nmin bintana with screen para pasok p din hangin since masarap hangin sa bukid. 😊 Marami din nabago as the construction goes on specially the budget 🤣...but for me whatever your house is made of, what matters most is you can still make it a home. 😘

Nakakatuwa na you're being honest sa flaws ng sarili mong design. Sobrang ina idolize na kita ngayon sr. Slater

You’d definitely wish you added more rooms or rooms are bigger especially when your kids are older. They’d want privacy, their friends would come over or even sleepover, they’d have more stuff (study table, books, etc) and the like. 😅

The Skypod still Awesome Love it wish i have one too ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

There is no slater vlog that i dont like talaga. Very informative, honest, down-to-earth ng mga vlogs nyo po PLUSSSSS the cinematography and background music are really 👌👌👌 more power to u po!

I idolize you sir engr. for accepting your mistakes, small details lang nman.. 👍

Ito yung reality na talagang kahit professional/s may mistake pa din when designing. Kaya napaka importante talagang magkaroon ng proper conceptualization until ma-turn over ang project, na kailangan habang nasa planning process palang, nakikita na yung mga possibilities lalo na pagdating sa users. :) Kudos sa Skyfam! Napakaraming learnings. :)

the intro tho, thats how u should flex peeps hindi yung naka starbucks then lakad

Great for u to share your experiences in house design. No perfect house, never mind, just a happy and loving family will make up for all minor irritations.

that's a learning process, so thankful for sharing it honestly so that viewers could somehow anticipate things and prevent them when they plan to do their own house na. hoping for more vlogs on pros and cons pa on house construction, Engineer! thanks!

What if yung outro is: "I'll see you guyS LATER" MHMMMMMMMM... 🤔

I agree on the window opening the upper portion ng wall. Hot air rises cool air sinks passive cooling principle!

Solid Content Engr. Nice cinematography, transitions and Editing

I’ve seen where I lived weather locations destroys modern stylish homes bc they don’t consider is it practical for location wise. Not saying you can’t have stylist homes, but built it safe place with its functionality & practicality for the family in the long run is best & should not be over looked.

no offense meant. just my observation. a lot of house designers focus on aesthetics instead of functionality (specially with regard to green planning - like wall to floor glass walls. initially, it looks "elegant" but it acts like a magnifying glass. it intensifies the heat from the sun. or when you have neighbors nearby, the first thing homeowners do is cover the glass walls or windows with blinds or curtains. the blinds/curtains block the view, air, and light.)

This is great. My child is a architecture student, 1st year. Very valuable info, thank you for posting this!

Ang ganda ni Kryz dito! 😍 super effortless. She's pretty already sa vlogs nya, pero today's different. So relaxed and soft.

Nice edit wow really show your style!

Yep, ganun din turo sa tropical architecture subject namin Malaki solar heat gain knowing that full glass yung room, Plants can help in cooling down, and extending the overhang,too. :) The pool also constributes to the cooling, so if the pool was somehow extended around the room, mas mababawasan yung init, :)

God is good, all the time. Life is not easy without him. Be bless and Merry Christmas. 👍✌️

Parang nakakatakot naman mag bahay, imagine, yung skypod napag planuhan na ng mabuti pero may mga regrets padin.

I Love the transition in the beggining

Happy birthday, Engineer Young! ❤️🥳

Put some planter trellis with wheels in front of the sun exposed window walls. Maybe use white bougainvillea background with contrasting colors of red and maybe peach. This could be rolled out of the way around noon. You may need to have these custom made to function well, or maybe huge trellis doors mounted to a deeply embedded concrete pole. I'm wondering why you don't move the shades to the bottom of those windows. I imagine you could cut an inch or two off those tiles and put a black tile border or grout surround. You might be able to rout a small convex groove at the joints to eliminate the visible discrepancy that is caused by the the tiles being so close. I don't know if a router bit can withstand the hardness of those tiles, even with water cooling.

We live for this new editing skilzzz 👏🏻❤️

Really appreciate your videos, and the friendly way in which you explain, I know you must have thought about this, but you can put manual or automatic shades on the outside of you glass walls of your bedroom, to keep it cool when the sunrays are directly falling on the glass and heating the room.

Honestly, you guys are the only vloggers where I don't skip ads. Heart heart

Grabe the editing, the intro, everything has greatly improved! Kudos, engr! Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Slater Young! 🤍

I'm planning to buy and build my own home in the next two years, your vid is informative 👍 Thanks! 😊

Your concept behind having smaller rooms is correct and should not regret it. Famous American Architect, Frank Lloyd Wright adheres to the same thinking, to bring everyone into the common rooms. This still relevant today with the onset of internet's allure to keep one on its own.

1. Did you install solar panels and storage batteries? 2. There are plastic films for windows to sun heat by 80-90%.

for the kdrama fans out there, sir slater looks like our Han Ji Pyeong. huhu

Nice informative videos as always. I hope you can give us a tour of the house you grew up in or your parents house and talk about the engineering stuff in it like you always do. More power to your videos!!

You have a very beautiful home. Very very cool Sir.

Sir Slater please make a video about Horizontal Construction like roads,runway bridges and etc... Please po bago lng po kc ako sa trabaho ko and i want to know more about sa ganitong field ng construction please make video about sa kung ano ang dapat at di dapat gawin sa ganitong field ng construction tsaka ano2 po ung kailangan ng materials and testing na kakailanganin thank you po and godbless

I would definitely agree to the idea na, if hindi matutulog everyone should really go out of their own respective bedroom. Kaya ayoko din ng 2floor house at nasa taas ang mga room. Specially malalaki na ang mga bata, halos di na magkita kita ang buong pamilya. But the the same time, i always have this problem with filipino houses na from the outside parang ang laki naman ng bahay pero pag pasok sa loob ang liliit/sisikip ng rooms...but nonetheless i love skypod.. parang ang sarap sarap gumalaw kasi ang luwag ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely house 😍. Putting in skylights in the closet space would probably of made it brighter without compromising on the storage space.

Happy Birthday, Slater! God bless you always.

The solar gain is the real challenge for glass walls. One of our biggest mistakes as well when we had the house built. Now we're planning to change it off into blockworks and smaller windows nalang 😔. It's important talaga na you layout well the design of your house esp the bedrooms which preferably dapat nasa west side ng bahay.

Nakaka-good vibes yung vid. Very chill at ganda ng aura ni Slater. Ganda din ng editing.

Thank you for sharing! You are the best!

I feel motivated because of your content. Thank You Engineer! Kudos po. I'm a future Civil Engineer, When I watch your videos I put learnings.

Love the SKYPOD even if it's not perfect. 😊 Happy birthday, Mr. Slater! 🎊🥳🎉

Kriz and your vlogs are therapy. ❤️

I agree with Slater about having too much lights being warmer and it's not good for one's bags & shoes👛👠👜👢 But, how about using brighter ones or diffusers😊

SHOUTOUT TO SLATER'S INTRO halatang halata yung effort na nilalagay sa pag gawa ng vid

Consider the location nearer the hospital. Consider also the added kids in the future. Like us condo b4 newly wed. Then nagka baby space naging maliit then we move to townhouse then 2 kids it looks small na again 2 storey then 2br w maids room still kulang

Black also holds the heat. White color reflects/bounce off the heat. So I suggest change the bedroom paint at least to a neutral color 😚

The house design fits for my own eyes to see how it was built..

Happy Birthday, Engr. Have a good one! God bless.

I agree with you Slater. Thank you for your recommendations. I Appreciated you alot. I'll try your recos especially the "Solar outdoor light". :)

Thanks for generously sharing your experiences.

nice pad... after watching your house tour i think problems to be considered is how to maintain a clean clear smudge free glass panels ( mahirap maglinis..... hehehe) another one is your jalousie glass located at the living room .... same thing mahirap maglinis plus i think walang screen to protect against insects ..... pero overall maganda pa rin yung house

Really like the outro “See you Slater!”

This video talks a lot about earnestness and credibility - owning up to your missteps... That compelled me to subscribe... I am also dreaming for a house both here in the US and in the Philippines, I take reference from your videos... Someday, I might ask you topics that are akin to many Americanized Filipinos perspectives and interests... Pinoy balikbayans who still nurture their roots back home...

Salute to you both at least everyone knows that nothing is perfect in this world. Just be content & happy of what one have while working for the better. 👍💗

A heart from an engineer could inspire/motivate an aspiring engineer 🥺🥺🥺

I love Sir Slater and Maam Kryzzz❤️❤️❤️ You two are super adorable with Scottie boo😘

sun blocking window film will solve your bedroom problem.. and you can convert your tronsom windows with hopper windows for ventilation too!!

Coffee Break has become one of my favourite songs this lockdown

I knew it... Nung npanood ko to nung ginagawa itong bahay, nagtaka ako kng bakit ang liit ng kwarto ng 'magiging anak' nila... Walang plano or vision sa future family...

"ako pala talaga, ako pala talaga 😂" hehehe Loveyou SKYFam!

Happy Birthday Engr. Slater Young wish you and your family good health, keep safe and more power to your channel. Keep uploading videos which are very useful for us.

Slater: Things I regret about our home(skypod) Me: Living in a house not built by professionals

Nonetheless, the Skypod is sooooo beautiful! Industrial but very homey and refreshing to stay in kasi it’s “connected” to the outdoors in a way. 💖

Happy bday sir slater... Im a fan of yours.. i just want to share some of my knowledge in concern with your hot room.. i recommend to change your fixed windows to jalousie, same in your living room so that hot air will be blown out the space bcos high air goes up... adding overhang will also work or a trellis or an arbor... please consider sun path for the dimension of overhang By the way im an arch. By profession and i love your house..
