Excellent work as always! Nice use of shallow depth of field on the finer details of design. The dialogue captured here is very engaging and seemed to capture their mission without sounding like a preachy mission statement.

I was very pulled into the dreamlike quality of the filming.

To quote the Decemberists:

"And I am nothing of a builder

But here I dreamt I was an architect."

Thanks for sharing this!

Love the attention to all of the little details. Love the part when talking about beautiful homes, where you don't know the architect - they may not be published. Some people simply love what they do, and don't need to be vocal about it - but they focus on incredible work. They are passionate. Great job with this video.

I wish they had shown some of the build planing docs. The color coded space use 3d plans have changed how I think about my space.

Loved these guys inspirational attitude and want to check out more of their work. The out of focus "creative" camera work drove me nuts! I kept trying to see glimpses of their work but it wasn't available for more than a second.
