Nick Lewis puts his own dream home on the drawing board
The design commentator's Vancouver house-build series adds a personal project to a channel drawing nearly seven times its usual daily views.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 149,667 views a day, 6.9 times a normal day (21,607).
Nick Lewis has built an audience pointing out what goes wrong in other people's rooms. His own floor plans are getting an airing, too, as his channel draws roughly 150,000 views in a day, nearly seven times its usual pace.
The jump spans the channel, rather than establishing a single upload as the cause. But his recent catalog has a particularly personal thread: the critic is building a home and explaining why the one he already lives in doesn't have to please everyone.
In "Building My New Custom Dream Home! // Episode 1", posted in September, Lewis introduces his Vancouver project with floor-plan discussions, bathroom changes and an interior concept meeting before moving to the mood board. He names Leckie Studio as the architect, Forte Projects as the builder and Banfield Design Co as the designer. In the description, he says designing his forever home has already taught him a great deal.
That project sits beside "Let's Talk About My \"Ugly\" Home", his response to criticism of his living space and filming backdrop. His chapter headings make room for competing priorities, transitional living situations and the time it takes to find a style. For someone whose most-watched regular uploads include living-room and bedroom design mistakes, it's a useful distinction: spotting a design problem isn't the same as demanding that every home look finished.
