3 Breathtaking Houses by the Waterfront | Dwell

How many dates per day?

I know white paint is on purpose, but it looks horrible. I get the minimalism, but it looks horrible. I understand that a pure white lends itself to more inviting colors, but it looks horrible. No wonder Columbians are so fun. They live in color. This chic tho

Love to take baths with candle lights

The second house... What the hell is that lady wearing while sitting down ...? And all three people's seem very pretentious

A stunner of a place.

They describe their houses very well

The first house is gorgeous but the videography is way too distracting. The close-up pan shots across areas don't give a good sense of the space. Stopped watching

ONE DAY MY HONEY WIFE ZAHRA HASSANPOUR AND ME , WOULD BUY A HOUSE LIKE THAT, SIMPLE AND BEAUTY NEAR THE KISH BEACH.

eww her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

will this concrete house stand against Hurricanes or Typhoons?

Wonderful

The third house cost almost nothing to make because concrete is very cheap in Mexico. I do hope they have screens for mosquitos

🤗🙄👏💕

These homes are special especially because of the people and the space

Loved the Mexico homes....the others were more of the same

I love the 3rd house ❤️

The first house cool and practical. The second house nice, but too far out there away from everything. The third house becomes typical b.s. of architects falling in love with themselves, and no light in the bathroom need to light candles
and the entire outer walls allow for mosquitos to get in, met lots of these hipsters come on

cool. but didn't know shadows dance.. is that a Mexican thing?

Dwell's videos are always great. 👍

OMG the last house is mindblowing

Turned it off after 20 seconds the woman's voice is so annoying.

the last one are or genius or syco

Y'all should have separated this into 3 videos. Love the last house!

Too many close-up shots on this one, I can't really experience or feel how spaces flow from one room to another in this house.

Unfortunately had to mute because the background music overpowered the narration, but the images were lovely.

The most beautiful family home i've seen yet !!!

The third house is so simple and inviting. very close to my heart.

The picture of the beach in the living room is so amazing.

Warning: The following is a rant about architecture. First off, all three of these homes are beautiful. Let's move on. There are two elements of architectural design that feel like scratching on a chalkboard: 1) Canned lights. In every new build and in every remodel canned lights litter the ceiling. Canned lights look cheap. Canned lights emit harsh glaring light. Never have I looked up at recessed canned lighting and admired the soft, diffused light. They look like they belong in a department store, not in a home. Even in historic homes, where canned lighting never existed, they are plopped in everywhere because they are cheap, easy to install, and builders are too lazy to judiciously hang light fixtures. Architects who rely on canned lighting do not know how to control light. To make matters worse these canned lights are never on a dimmer switch. Canned ceiling lights are the bane of contemporary architecture. They are the acid washed jeans of our time. Then there is: 2) Paint. Yes, the use of drywall and paint in a home needs to be left in the 20th century. Painting an interior is messy, a hassle, and must be repeated every few years. Floors, fixtures, and furniture are often damaged. If you live in a rental property or in an apartment paint may be the only option but, looking forward, architects need to embrace the NO PAINT HOUSE. I was stunned to see that the third home on this list did not use paint anywhere. Ingenious. Homes that eschew paint in favor of solid materials will age gracefully and develop a rich patina over time. Paint free houses have less maintenance costs and are healthier to live in. Moving forward in the 21st century with these two simple changes will make architecture better than it was before.

Annoying Voices

3rd house s d best,but mosquito prone

The last house blows my mind. Doesn’t look like a house, more of a hangout concrete hut or cabana. Don’t even know what I am saying. Lol

The first 2 houses is kinda 'meh' for me....I only like this video for the 3rd house. What a beautiful well-thought out house!

cool

I loved the 3 rd house. The poetic way they talked about their house, “the interplay of shadow and light” , “the way the light dances throughout the house”; the roof viewing platform, “so we can watch and be one with the cosmos”; “the blurring of boundaries”. I especially liked the great functionality and beauty created in a small footprint. The first house’s family members inter generational house was so well thought out and met everyone’s needs so well. I loved the different levels for the different members. I am sure this architecture will bond their close family even closer lots of shared memories. I liked the historical elements of the long generations of history of that family rooted in place in house two, and one.

The last home is a work of art, beautiful and simple, for bathroom I would have put a skylight and have soft lights, a bathroom needs to be more airy-more light; candle lights are nice at night only..the 2nd home design is nice but lacks warmth; the 1st home is really nice for big families..I prefer more wood in design of homes next to the waterfront..

My question is; how do you keep those white couches clean when there so many children running around haha🤨

beautiful designed house, I love it

second house for meeee wowww that lush greeeeeen grassss.

With all the incredible architecture design and technological advancements available today I don’t understand why we have an affordable housing problem anywhere in the world. It can be done and done right and affordable.

The last house reminds me of a jail. No light in the shower? Really annoying.

梦想的房子

Gorgeous Oaxaca house at the end.

2nd house is breathtaking ❤️

A great house in my opinion has to be cozy, fun, practical, great design, easy to maintain, sustainable, inexpensive and timeless. I think the last house has all those elements and it’s a winner. Anyone can get in huge debt and build something very expensive, but not everyone can accomplish great architecture on a budget.

The last house is amazing!

super and amazing...

sanaol 🥺💗

I could not absorb any of the speakers words. Why is the music so Loud? We didn't click the video for a music listening secession.
