Today AD travels to the woodlands of the Pacific Northwest to tour Maxon House. Designed by Tom Kundig, owner of Olson Kundig Architects, Maxon House is a modern home revolutionizing the work commute. Work/life balance is given new meaning in Kundig’s design–a fully detachable home office on wheels journeys across a functional rail track into the forest creating an innovative work-from-home setup. With no shortage of ingenious features, Maxon House is a marriage of form and function and a prime example of modernist design.

The title makes it seem like there is something worth watching
Bears can come out as his neighbors. I cannot live in there although it is a very beautiful house.
Love this
The beautiful world of people who apparently own virtually nothing but furniture! That kitchen wall with diplomas and pictures stuck on with magnets is about the only sense that real humans actually live here and it’s not just a concept house. I guess if you could afford a house like this you probably have a storage unit somewhere.
Anyone else’s OCD start geeking when the W’s were just off by a hair?!
Hmmm. There's some creative financing here as well; as he'd theoretically be able to write the entire office structure off his taxes since he's self-employed.
This is what we need more of than generic celebrity houses
with no way to block the windows this seems very climate inefficient
I spent 16 minutes trying to convince myself this was NOT made in unreal engine. Why use that soft focus and color grading so it looks computer made?
should have a railway turntable at the end. that way he can change the light exposure
This is so dumb. Its such an expensive gimmic that will be exciting only the first couple times you show people. I gaurantee they make it move like once a year and otherwise regret how expensive a feature it was.
Hope they got someone to calculate the load and temperature of the wire when it's coiled up and in use….
Loved it . Great train sets
A truly whimsical double wide trailer.
I want one.
That’s just dumb
When you are crazy,
but also rich.
choo choo mofos
sheldon cooper would've loved this
is this a "you can't build in the rear yard" situation?
5:25 I need that painting in my life! Any one know where I can get it?
Thankyou for being a model for what is possible🙏🏿
lol "orthagonal"
The location is everything. The house is cool but it's definitely carried by the environment.
I have a mighty need. I need a house like this. I agree with other commenters he needs a loop of track.
Dont let James May see this he'll start squatting at this house
Ex machina was viewed before building this house.
Always thought this would be a great idea for houses located along erosion prone oceanfront property. Provided there is enough property to retreat back on rails.
the house is so depressing, bro just buy a normal house, its way more practical
Your content ideas are awesome
interesting but why can't you just walk over
How do you get power to that building? And how does it looks docked?
Absolutely no reason that studio needs to actually move on the tracks.
awesome
What is the story at 5:23 with a prominently displayed picture of a red-star Chinese Communist leader holding a Nike Shoe?
Magnificent. I love the dialogue between materials, proportions, solutions and surroundings so much.
When I watch these types of videos of houses in the middle of the woods, I always wonder about security and how that gets taken into consideration…
Architect: Architectural talk.
Owner: I really just love trains.
We’re ist this?
What about zombies and rampant dacoity!? I guess this is a weekend property.😊
Great house if you're going through divorce and she wants to take half your assets.
I'm not usually a fan of these style of modernist homes, however, the exterior material used make it look like a shadow and the trees more dominant in view, much nicer.
Sheldon Cooper would love this house 😭
I am struck. This is what true architectural genius looks like
That big metal gate is hideous.
