  • I would love to build my own home.

  • I think Sarah has some great design ideas...especially the Not So Big House concept. For any of you thinking of building a home, check out our site for some professional advice for saving some serious money. Building your own home is totally possible and can be extremely rewarding!

  • The home building and architect world should be open to the public. We need to advance our homes. They cost too much to be equipped with just 4 lights and some doors. There needs to more technology.

  • @heartlessvietboy The public is not going to build my home nor do I want some asshole telling me how my house should be.

  • Do you have a choice? Aren't they building your home?

  • @heartlessvietboy umm no lol

  • Then who is building your house?

  • @heartlessvietboy me and freands. When you say public do you mean like a contracter ? Thats not public lol I know what you mean. sorry for that

  • @67tr876 ... wouldn't it be interesting or valuable if that "asshole" had a bit more skill and knowledge than yourself and came up with some great ideas that saved you heaps of money"?

  • one thign i would like to see in more houses is better ventilation systems. YOu always find they have an air extractor but not always and air intake to suck fresh air into the home so you can adjust the humidity in every zone. Thats why alot of modern homes are often stuffy and too warm. my ideal home would have forced air intake and also and exhaust vent so i could adjust the humidity.

  • Leave it to an architect to not realize that the resale of a building influences it's liquidity. What a surprise, architect doesn't understand the financial issues behind a building, news at 11!

  • If i had the money i would build my dream home, i think building your home must give it a much better character and atmosphere because you could say to every who visited your home i built this house, this is my creation.

  • unity temple is such a gorgeous building. Frank Lloyd Wright: Father of modern architecture.

  • how can go about getting one of these homes for charity?

  • Buy one then give it to the charity of your choice.

  • sure i will after i win the power ball and of course with the lords blessings first.

  • I hate realtors more then used car salesman.

  • @918yourass

    Why is that?

  • That's all fine if you won the lotto. Never have to worry about resale architects are for about 3% of the population . Home plan web sites are making them extinct as dinosaurs. ppl cant afford the track homes their in . just look at the post its great for dreamers so go out and make millions then find a good architect that was self taught ,those are always the best scrap the collage dudes . Frank Loyd wright never learn how to put things together like some one else.

  • design and build for increased energy efficiency

  • I would like too build an underground house. With the walls and ceilings insulated adobe style but igglo shaped walls.

  • I would like to build my own home. How much can you save? By the way I am very handy and not afraid of investing my time. ---I really like the idea in this vid. buld for yourself.

  • This is pretty controversial issue at the moment, because of financial worries and the economy. Experts do say that a house should be a place for living and not as a monetary concern. As a budding architect myself I would like to think people will realise that homes should not apply stress in the economic area of one's mind and that great properties can still be designed and built all over the world. Great video by the way.

  • Thanks for your input, and for checking out my video.

  • @hession14 You said your an architect. If someone had the money could you design and build a castle that was like the one from Beauty and the Beast??? How much would it cost?

  • LOL.

  • Unity is a really special place and I was distressed to learn that it is on a Landmarks watch list because there is apparently not enough money to keep it maintained. Glad you like the setting and the video. Thanks for the comment. - Ilyce

  • Excellent points. Few can overcome the pressure that exists to design for resale rather than for themselves. If you want a house that is a bit different, there is bound to be other folks out there who'll like it too. That is, if you did it well. Different is good but it still has to look good and function well. Love Unity Temple, by the way.
