Channel Title: Uncommon Channel Description: For far too many people, building a home is intimidating and disempowering. Folks don't necessarily know they want inspired and thoughtful design. Not everybody will ask architects to make something special for them. Uncommon celebrates design and architecture. We seek to inspire by featuring buildings of architectural significance (no cliché and nothing glib) and taking a trip into the minds of industry leaders and rising talents. We investigate the thought and creation process, how they make sense of life with a building. Young residents of Athens used to take an oath to leave their city better - more beautiful - than it was left to them. They understood the power of architecture, its ability to stir, heal, rejuvenate. When done well, architecture added to the sum of human happiness, uplifting communities, reducing crime and transforming economies. This is our ambition. There are forces at work against those that want to produce meaningful architecture. This is our push back. <video> S1E5: Transforming an Old Home Into a Micro Cinema Description: A young architect's first and ambitious project was to transform this post-war home in Cubao into a micro cinema. Architect Justin Guiab and his partner Jondi de Guzman designed Sine Pop, retaining most of the home's original features and planting a bamboo forest in lieu of additional parking. Architecture by Justin Guiab and Jondi de Guzman Produced by Gino Cariño, Jar Concengco, Paolo Periquet Directed and Edited by Jar Concengco Additional Video by Omar Despabeladero Drone Footage by Gino Cariño Special Thanks to Carlson Chan </video> <video> S2E2: A House Within A Shed by Tina Periquet Description: Most roofs are like a hat. They perch on top of the house to deflect the elements, but on a hot day they gather heat, and they can only take so much rain. In a land constantly battered by sun and rain, you need more than a hat - you need an umbrella. And, perhaps, so does your home. Inspired by the simple notion of a canopy floating overhead, allowing air to flow freely underneath while giving shade and shelter, Studio Periquet Galicia designed "a house within a shed". The structure is an arrangement of boxes set on a low tiled platform, which protects it from flood waters while providing a covered sidewalk all around the house. Hovering above is a large pitched roof, supported by four massive pillars - an archetypal image of human shelter, deconstructed to respond to the realities of a tropical environment. Space, air and light flow as freely inside as outside, from the open plan of the ground floor to the shaded roof deck below the canopy. The layout is flexible, able to adapt to the needs of a growing family with an evolving lifestyle. Tall windows bring daylight deep into the core of the house, while creating a stately rhythm of light and shade that both calms and uplifts. The result is the best-selling model of Magis Homes' design-and-build platform. Aldo - a sheltered house.
