Im so glad architects like this gentleman still exist today
Modern building and architecture "design" is nothing less than anti-human in both it's goals and it's product. It's inspiring to know there are professional architects still dedicated to historic heritage and the classical architectural system, despite the generations-long organized malevolence that has endeavored to tear down those systems. Thank You.
Love Gils work! He’s such a clever guy. He’s designs of new houses to look old is incredible
I love his commitment to design for the memory, for the child's delight. That made me shed a tear, because it is such a human truth.
Hi Gil. I live in New Zealand and I have both your books and have ordered the third. Love your work
I love these designs. It look so ethereal and the landscape of where it sit is really gold
Lovely video. Thank you for this serene and cultured experience. I'd like to see so much more on traditional architecture for every use, and not just high-end houses. Thank you again!
Gil Schafer is a lovely human, I hope his firm starts their own channel I could listen to him for hours.
Absolutely beautiful homes both the properties, and the architect, have a great energy. Thank you for this video.
Stunning!!!!
Thank you for sharing this with all of us Youtubers that like this sort of stuff (architecture, interior design, horticulturist). All the best.
Incredible work by Gil Schafer. He has managed to design and build these houses as if they really belonged to the land. Great talent and a compelling story teller! Thanks for sharing.
Mr.Schafer artfully transcends trends. Compelling, Beautiful work. Thank you.
What a blessed life Gil Schafer leads! He's surrounded by beauty, and creating it, too
This video was so impressive! I’ve scene videos of his personal homes, but to see and hear how he developed these outstanding homes was beyond a treat. Thank you, but of course I want more🥂
Incredibly talented chap with a civilised, cultured aesthetic sensibility. So much of post modernist architecture is almost deliberately ugly, unfriendly and completely disconnected from a sense of human scale and proportion. Gil definitely raises the bar. It was a delight to watch this video, so thank you Gil and the video producer.
Stunning. Gil's perspectives in associating traditions, memories, families and land with a new design that feels old is refreshing. I purchased his new book, "A place to call home" on Amazon recently and now use it as a guide as my wife and I redesign our home in retirement. Thank you Gil!
Mesmerizing, I took it all in and was transported there
As Christopher Alexander and Sir Roger Scruton have so well argued, the design of buildings, parks, of any in-public structure is never for a single client! It is for the long-term, whether consciously or not, and therefore one needs to ask designers to grow in their capacity to see responsibility as to more than one client at one time in the life of any structure!
