Hearing people talk about a house reno is interesting, but seeing it's better. More focus on the house would be nice.

In regards to the house, can I see the house ?

[rhephokrits]

there's a thing called voiceover. Talk about the house but show the house at the same time.

some day dwell will make a video that will actually show the house

“I tried not to take anything away from what he had originally done”
> we repainted, replaced the floors, tore down walls and ceilings, and removed 28 trees… 😆

Here's a good idea: show the house instead of talking about the house.

Thank you, thank you for not placing the tv over the fireplace! It seems that so many houses are built or arranged around the tv, and that the best place to put it is above the fireplace for some reason.

It's nice to get the architect's opinion on updates to the home!

00:45 Beautiful but why the spacings between each artwork on the wall are off and even not aligned with the bed ? … Ok, I am too picky 😅

[Traisoon]

Nice house but the video doesn’t show much.

What is the name of the song at the end credits?

I love Mortiz and grew up in what I assume was a replica of his designs. The same exact layout of this home with an extra wing on the right on the water in Connecticut. We loved it so much we didn’t mess around with the design. When my parents sold it the new owners changed just about everything About it sadly and didn’t keep to the original mid century design styles. It was brown instead of blue and had framed what I consider my dream house to be. House hunting is much more difficult when you only like modern and mid century designs.

Considering the view and the direction of light and a breeze when building a home vs. your local development where every house looks the same and there are no trees.

Wonderful! Is this perhaps Tom Kundig's father? Tom is one of the biggest architects in the world today.

So you took a hidden gem and opened it up to the street. Not sure if it's a hidden gem anymore or even a gem. Crappy video for sure.

Wish in the interior design they had used some more mid century pieces. The interior design is very basic and trendy and seems a shame not to compliment the architecture with the design. Although you can hardly see the house in this video so maybe they did and I just can’t see it haha

I would have left most of the pines. I love a forest surround.

[KyleEisenhart]

Wow looks amazing! I have so many questions ha

Great house!! I am nervous about those tall trees in the front yard however 😳
