Hello again!

How are you guys doing?

Today we're talking about Troye Sivan's house.

Finally.

I feel like it's really inevitable that I would make this video,

but more of you than I was expecting actually commented that I should do this,

so we're doing it.

The reason I didn't do Troye Sivan's home tour,

like, in my very first video,

is just because I felt like it was pretty obvious.

Like,

we all love it we all know we love it but

that doesn't mean it's not fun or valuable to talk about why we love it

so let's talk about why we love it and

if you haven't seen choice simon's architectural digest home tour first of all i'm

so excited for you because it's amazing and beautiful and very inspiring

but make sure you watch the full home tour like before this

or after this because every second of it is so good and I can't put the whole video in my video.

So yeah, let's watch.

Ah, hey AD, what's up?

It's Troye Sivan.

This is my house in Melbourne.

Please, please come inside, make yourselves at home.

I have been waiting for this day for my entire life, so...

okay before we really get into the video i just want to point out a few things

that i hope you'll all notice first of all this video

is how i found flack studio in australia they're the design team

that choice of on worked with and they're

so talented they really get it i really recommend checking out more of their projects

because there's just so much inspiration there and so much to learn from

but some of the best things

that they did in choice of on's house specifically are the lighting and the use of color and texture and materiality.

The whole project really just like sings.

And I think this home is a really good example of designing thoughtfully

and not making your decisions according to like a theme or a style or like a predetermined language in any way.

And I found this house and I was just like, done.

Okay, first things first, this is like literally the most comfortable couch in the world.

I feel like they, oh,

people are going to get mad at me for not taking off my shoes.

Like here in the living room,

you can see the use of color is so good.

I think a lot of people

that try to bring color into a space are kind of like overreacting to these like very bland, minimalist spaces.

And they just go like too strong and like too crazy with it.

And it ends up feeling really uncomfortable and not nice.

I say this a lot,

but when you're applying color to like something pretty large,

like a sofa or a wall or a big piece of furniture,

you'll be very surprised by how like saturated and strong colors become when they're used in a large application.

Like a small paint swatch or material sample can look very dull when it's like this big.

So people end up choosing like really strong colors and then

when it's actually in the space on a bigger scale it can just be very overwhelming.

So I think the use of color here is very smart,

very sophisticated, and just brings a very nice, warm feeling.

These Akari lamps are my favorite.

I think the goal was to have like a soup of light,

you know what I mean?

Soup of light.

This is the goal people, a soup of light.

Just finding soft light just kind of gently fills the room.

And we kind of followed suit with these pendants, they're vintage.

Every single light fixture in this home is doing exactly what a light fixture should do,

which is interestingly and intentionally manipulating light.

And it's just so lovely.

Like the vibe of every single space is so well thought out.

I really appreciate it.

This little moment, this is my reading nook or whatever.

And it's super, super comfortable.

Again, just like any view that you take of this home from any angle,

you can count like more than 10 textures and materials and it just brings so much depth to the space.

It's really lovely.

I'm going to say this a lot,

but I think it's my favorite part of the house.

It just feels really, really chill.

We've got this like awesome green stone.

The materiality in the kitchen is,

I think, my favorite in the house.

We've got, like, all this black steel,

and I love the way that it shows.

I don't even know.

These, like, sort of natural markings, and then just wood.

Heaps and heaps and heaps of wood, because I love wood.

Like, the diversity of materials in the kitchen,

from the countertop to the cabinetry to the floor, it's so lovely.

It's all working so well.

I feel like the designers at Flak Studio are really just,

like, champions when it comes to material palettes,

because they're all so good.

I talk a lot about like a minimalist approach to design without a minimalist aesthetic

and I think that's exactly what's happening here.

None of the ornament or interest in the kitchen is coming from like an unnecessary place.

Instead it's coming from like thoughtfully considered authentic materials

and using those materials to highlight what's happening and I think it's just really really successful.

Truly to me this house is exactly what modernism is and exactly what design should be.

One of my favorite art pieces in the whole house,

this is my Ramesh sculpture.

The artist Ramesh just is so sick and eccentric.

Come here I want to show you the ghost.

So if you look up here we've got two art pieces.

100

Here's a little ghost by this artist named Nell.

101

It's hand-blown glass and this is by an artist called Sydney Ball

102

and there's another one outside which I'm going to show you

103

Throughout his entire space you can tell that he didn't buy art with the goal of like filling his home,

104

but rather he found places in his home for the art that he collected.

105

And I think that's just really lovely and that sense of curation and collection always comes through in a design.

106

Like I talk about a lot,

107

having a connection to your art and caring about the things in your home.

108

It just brings so much soul and life and authenticity into a space

109

and it doesn't have to be done with expensive art like anyone can take this approach

110

so here we are on the landing this is one of my favorite places in the house to come

111

and look it's kind of lofty and reminds me of some places

112

that i've been to in like williamsburg his like mezzanine landing thing is obviously

113

so cool

114

and i especially love the contrast of it with the cork ceiling i think something really nice is happening there

115

and in general this house just has so much depth

116

and look at the lighting under it I love the effect that that's having where the beams meet the wall.

117

This house is just so good.

118

Jack Pearson, one of my favorite photographers.

119

I shot with him a couple of years ago and it's just so, so, so sick.

120

Oh, look at this one.

121

I got this two days ago.

122

Hotels of Pyongyang.

123

Super, super, super interesting.

124

Really similar to what I said about how you can tell he cares about his art.

125

He also cares about his books.

126

Everything in his home feels very like authentic and nothing is just there because it looks a certain way.

127

So, this is the guest bedroom.

128

Another huge Akari lamp.

129

Every single room in this house has an amazing lamp and I just appreciate it so much.

130

So these cork ceilings were original to the house.

131

It kind of makes the whole house feel kind of like a really cozy cave.

132

And we did the walls in this like Venetian plaster,

133

which is so smooth and soft.

134

And so I feel like everything just kind of like hugs you at night.

135

This Venetian plaster in the guest bedroom,

136

I think is a really good example of what I said in one of my bad design trend videos.

137

Basically, I think if you're going to do something really like impactful and significant on all the walls of a room,

138

it should be in a smaller,

139

more intimate space and not like throughout your entire house.

140

Like I think if this texture was on his walls in his living room and dining room,

141

it would be pretty overwhelming.

142

But using it in like a smaller,

143

cozier space like a bedroom,

144

I think is really nice.

145

I really do mean it this time.

146

I think this is my favorite room in the house.

147

It's my sister's bathroom.

148

Just like the colors and everything.

149

It kills me.

150

It really does.

151

Like Flak Studio, who I worked with,

152

did the most unbelievable job.

153

Again, the materials and color and texture and lighting,

154

it's like so harmonious yet so interesting.

155

I also really love that throughout the house,

156

a lot of the millwork and like cabinetry details have like kind of interesting handle pulls.

157

Like also the fridge in the kitchen had a pretty cool handle.

158

And here this cabinet in the bathroom has this really like fun, chunky handle detail.

159

I think it's very cool.

160

So this is my bedroom,

161

this is my little sanctuary.

162

It's really, really quiet.

163

This opens up to the park and all of these windows open up.

164

And then when it's like a really pretty day,

165

I don't know, I just feel like I'm outside.

166

This bedroom is like actually a dream bedroom.

167

The like angled walls from the roof line and the beams and the windows that open up,

168

like the architecture of the space is so nice.

169

And I think they used it really well.

170

I really love an interior design when the architecture of a building is really felt in a space.

171

And when that happens, when you're occupying like an upper level or like an attic space,

172

I just love it so much.

173

I think it's really lovely.

174

I think it really relates you to the building that you're in.

175

And I just think it's really nice to use it as a feature in an interior.

176

So I really love that they left these beams exposed.

177

Even though they're painted the same as the walls,

178

I think that it's having a really big impact on the coziness of this bedroom.

179

These lamps are one of my favorite things in the house

180

and we did these amazing like burgundy carpets

181

and at night they light up and there's kind of this like red glow in my room.

182

It's like a really nice warm hug.

183

I'm obsessed with the carpet.

184

I'm obsessed with the lamp on the floor and the way it lights the carpet.

185

In general this room is just so good

186

and see how his tv in the corner is like standing on its own and not on a piece of furniture.

187

I recommended that for people that feel like they need their TV to be in a corner.

188

It's just really nice when it can like be its own object

189

and styling it with the lamp like that is very cool in my opinion.

190

And beyond the color, the use of texture is so interesting.

191

Like the very furry shaggy chair and also notice the stone door frame around the bathroom door.

192

That's so nice and unexpected.

193

I think this room is just fantastic.

194

This is my bathroom!

195

This is my bath!

196

This is where I spend most of my time in this house.

197

Sometimes I put my laptop up here, watch Netflix.

198

Yeah, it's really really peaceful.

199

The daylight coming through the skylight into the bathtub is so pretty it makes me want to cry.

200

It's such a lovely bathroom.

201

And again, this bathroom is a really good example of designing around function,

202

but using interesting, authentic materials and textures to highlight certain moments.

203

Actual favorite part of the house.

204

I think this is the reason why I fell in love with it in the first place.

205

You can fold away these doors and then there's this courtyard that's just like actual heaven to me.

206

Again, you can see like the LA California influence,

207

but then we've also got like a lot of Japanese stuff.

208

This is called the swamp cypress.

209

There's little fishies in here somewhere.

210

I don't know if you can see them.

211

And then we've got like native Australian,

212

like doesn't get much more Australian than this or like the big eucalyptus tree.

213

It's just like paradise for me.

214

I spend a lot of time out here.

215

Troye Sivan's taste is just so good, even in plants.

216

I really love like unique plants that are interesting to look at and this garden is like full of them.

217

It feels very sculptural and I just love that.

218

I also love how it's like walled in and feels very private.

219

Outdoor toilet situation.

220

So this used to be a wine cellar and now it's this.

221

You know when you go to a restaurant and people like oh have you been to the toilet?

222

You have to go to the toilet.

223

Just kind of lent into the fantasy and lent into like a little bit of surrealism.

224

The walls are all curved so it's kind of like a cave.

225

I think the color is called oxblood.

226

And I love this like bathroom moment

227

that they created with this really strong paint color again in a small space i think it works really well

228

and they really leaned into the fact that there's no natural light in here

229

and they just chose all of the right materials

230

and lighting to make it like a very cool cave vibe it's just

231

so nice they didn't get anything wrong in this house basically

232

the history of this house was in 1874 this was a handball court

233

and then it was turned into a brick factory throughout all of the multiple renovations

234

that this place has been through one thing remained if you look really close you can see

235

Two handsome men playing handball in a court

236

and then there's this like weird sort of spear thing on the side and then you walk over here and

237

The same buddy spear they wait till the end of this video to talk about the history of the house

238

which i think is really interesting i love having a little moment to like respect the lifespan of a building

239

and all of the different chapters that his house has seen

240

in general i think flak studio just did such a good

241

job with this house this project is such a good place to look for inspiration

242

when it comes to thoughtful use of color and texture

243

and materiality and like i said at the beginning you can just really tell

244

that every single piece was chosen thoughtfully and not because it was just giving a certain look.

245

I just feel so inspired by this house and I think there's

246

so many lessons to learn from it

247

and I think it makes a lot of sense

248

that this is almost everybody's favorite Architectural Digest tour

249

because it's just really good design

250

and I think it's a really good example of what I try to communicate in all of my videos.

251

So yeah, thank you for watching,

252

make sure you like and comment and subscribe if you haven't

253

because there are many more home tour reviews to come and a lot more inspiration okay i'll see you next week
