This may be my favorite of your videos thus far. I would love to live in this house, and I would love to have a deep philosophical conversation with you about this house and architecture I general. You have me reconsidering my career goals. I'm an artist and a philosopher, and I've found myself wanting to create art people can immerse themselves in. You're inspiring, thank you. ❤

Why are these so damn good! Never seen such high level of production and storytelling

[@kevincurrie2052]

To mark the passage of the season’s you could have a “Stonehenge” window, where on a certain day it will illuminate another part of the house. Also add pumps to the pool to douse all the trees surrounding the house in case there’s a bushfire

[@finnthewastebin1503]

My favourite moment of the video was you explaining the fabric-concrete. It was beautiful visual storytelling that not only let me visualize the texture, but really feel it. This video is a masterclass in visual storytelling and editing, and the home is beautiful. 🙌

[@emilegeldenhuys7082]

I'm not particularly interested in architecture but these videos are just so so good , so well made, so informative.

[@arielyambao7857]

Makes me wonder that even how hard the concrete would be, in can be softened by this fabric infused texture material.

[@NeiFidelis]

Asbestos, maybe?

[@ravenbathory9471]

​@@NeiFidelis that was my thought too 😂😂 looks very much like asbestos

[@besknighter]

I LOVED this concept. Someday I want to live in a house that is both a warm welcoming home, but also kind of a art statement. Were each cm² was designed with a specific higher purpose in mind. Like the labyrinth or the entranceway or the sundial aspect of this one. Bedrooms that feel like a sanctuary to sleep, where trying to do anything but sleep (and that other thing) feels completely out of place. An office that let's you work but reminds you of why you work and when it's time to rest. And doing all this not like a commander, demanding obedience, or through fear. But as a lovely, gentle and kind, invisible hand remining you to be present.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Sounds beautiful. You would make a great client. 😊

[@allenrice9223]

Dear Dami Lee and everyone responsible for producing this video, Thank you so much for making this video. This was such an absolutely amazing and thought provoking experience. Your architecture has always inspired me in a general sense, but this takes things to an entirely different level of thinking and of feeling. Cinematically it was a beautiful video. The monologue describing the reasoning and visualizations behind the concept were truly elucidating and quite clear. How this concept plays with the fundamental nature of our reality was such an interesting perception and I cannot tell you how much this has inspired me in my current project. Thank you.

[@nazramz5224]

THIS IS HOW CHRISTOPHER NOLAN WOULD DESIGN A BUILDING IF HE WAS AN ARCHITECT

[@sonyalindee8676]

This is almost poetic as it is beautiful. Thank you for expanding my mindset when it comes to the concept of time very few architects have embraced. It’s so funny how people used to spend a whole day doing laundry by hand, and now we have machines that do it for us but we still have no time. Taking the time in those moments of pause are to me such a quality existence. I couldn’t imagine even having that headache of a frustrating job just to come home to four walls that do nothing for you. I’m still designing my future home, but now I will inculcate these concepts. Time is pieces of our lives that we should not waste.

[@sindre.]

You mentioned "in-between-moments" which reminded me of the work of photographer Gregory Crewdson, who made whole series based on that concept, albeit with a more ominous setting rather than tranquil. I find it fascinating and exhilarating how much thought and effort you put into the design. It requires quite the perspicacious mindset. Looking forward to seeing how this project continues!

[@archigal]

Every time I think your videos can't get any better, there you go. This is amazing. I feel like I have learned more from you than from my professors. And I'm not even gonna talk about inspiration.

[@DamiLeeArch]

Thank you!! 🙏 I'm very honoured 😊

[@bellousow2607]

so truth

[@kellylizhang]

Wow, the original site seemed challenging with the amount of protected trees, but you integrated the house beautifully into the natural landscape. I also loved the way you explained the movement of light throughout the house. The refraction from the water and the shadows cast by the roof really connect the natural elements throughout the entire project.

[@feliciariego9694]

Something I want to tell you is how you captured that feeling of pause. I’ve lived in our farm in the Philippines by the mountains and every noon, this is how it feels like. Just the leaves dancing through the wind while inside our breezy and open house, the ceiling fan is the only noise. The sun’s rays are reflecting from a mirror or the window. I live in Canada now and how I miss this feeling of slowing down and living life so much. Thank you for sharing your creativity in the world. 💖

[@PJZ]

I'm a tourist when it comes to appreciating architecture but I find it quite exciting whenever you speak about it. Your passion (and excellent production value) keeps me coming back. Please take your time with all your updates...they've been so fascinating to watch. Keep up the great work, it's incredibly inspiring.

[@ahsanulrehan8779]

Your videos are a reminder that there is beauty in allowing time for myself, in watching the days go by. At least to me that is. Thanks for everything you do 😇

[@GTcinematics]

I can't stop thinking about "maybe this movement(light) can even guide activity in the house". I don't think I will be able to look at another space without considering light in this way. Natural light is so important in bringing spaces to life, but it goes so much deeper than just more or less direct sunlight. It's not just there to illuminate a room, but to shape and move it. That phrase will be stuck in my head for a while. Thanks for this serene video and all your hard work!

[@jay4239]

This video gave me some serious goosebumps. The video itself was well crafted. Using architecture to tap into, and feel passage of time. It felt like you brought a small part of cosmos into the home

[@viniciuspontes8764]

It's hard to stick to one specific aspect of the design. The concept that embraces the project as a whole is charming. The house, through textures, light, sounds and paths, invites us to observe, pause, be present and all of this, I believe, brings us closer to the essence of life. I feel very happy and motivated by the possibility of being able to follow and learn from your design process. Thanks, Dami and team :)

[@Nanobit84]

These video updates, the details, on your first project is amazing. I love it. It goes to show how much work gets into it. I know it will be a long time til we see it finished but I can’t wait.

[@DamiLeeArch]

A couple years tend to go by very fast when designing a building 😁

[@DomenicoMontaruli]

Hi Dami, are there any updates on this project?@@DamiLeeArch

[@surajramrakhya2318]

I love how each of the aspect whether it's the labyrinth or use of refraction from water or the sun dial, it is introduced specifically to achieve some purpose. But among all the these aspects my favorite part about this was the labyrinth, the path to reach the entrance, the feeling of being lost and then found, I just love it. Great work, Dami.🙌

[@saxxonzs]

I find the concept of time and its perception in the design really thought provoking. Curiosity and contemplation seem to play a huge role in evoking the feeling of time being slowed down and I truly admire the way you have incorporated this into your design. The complexity of the labyrinthine garden path or the placement of the pools, allowing for sunlight to interact with water, seems almost ethereal. There are so many aspects of this house (and presentation) that I find genuinely inspiring. Great video! I'm excited to see how it progresses.

[@diotough]

I bloody love hill houses and your design is amazing. Hillside houses always have a feeling of having your own pocket world where nobody else can get to.

[@m_ie8487]

Thank you Dami for being such an inspirational architect. The thoughts that guided you through the designing process are truly original. I especially liked how you connected your initial ideas for the placement of the house and the problem that sunlight seemed to cause into the main focus of the building. The concept was beautiful and I can't wait to see the progress made on this project in the future!

[@olinwread137]

An introverts paradise! A monastery for the soul and body in a philosophical sense, but not literal sense! ❤😂

[@peterpolus5272]

This video is so... inspiring! I love the concepts it's about, such as how quality of an experience shapes our perception of time in that moment, the creative ways of using water to light the relaxation room and designing the spaces of the house around the changing light and shade positions! Also the commentary is brilliant, I like how sometimes it sounds so poetic. We can really hear and see your passion towards what you create! I'm happy that I discovered your channel😌

[@Ryukishi442]

I don't know how often I look at empty lots and think of how I could design a house for that space. This was beautiful to watch.

[@nikodelpapa]

You guys are creating beautiful storytelling, and amazingly put together sensory videos. I’m learning so much about the thought process of architecture but then take it a step further to include concepts like time. Just great work. I’m looking forward to watch more of these !

[@froggie4321]

My favorite part of this video is the part about water reflection concretized the passing of time. It starts from 7:50 and goes till 8:32. The music, the quotes , the imagery; everything radiated creative brilliance. The whole video was great, as always, but that part really resonated within me.

[@willbarron8583]

I love that you're taking us along with you and diving deep into the concepts of each piece of this project. Excited to see the end product! My favorite concept is the reflective water theories. A hidden world is so cool.

[@oscarflores6884]

Absolutely a “wow!” factor throughout the video. I enjoy watching the process from beginning to end on any sort of project and I remember watching your video on your site visit to the hillside. I could go on and on on how your attention to detail within the video is amazing, but what really interested me is how far you’ve come along with this project and also showing us your design process and inspirations which help you implement those ideas into your own. As many have said, props to you and the team. Can’t wait to see more!

[@matthewt7300]

As a co-captain of the UBC Concrete Canoe design team, your detailed explanation of your experience of the special concrete at 5:51 resonated with me. Also your exploration of the design through all the mediums of site plans, 3d CAD models, physical models, and a site visit focused your points from perfect perspectives.

[@leimomiwieckowicz6782]

I love how you took making a home to a whole other level. The way you planned the journey from down the hill, all the way up, and into the home was amazing! And thing that you said about pausing is very true and I enjoy those moments. I love your vids❤️

[@Lexter606]

The design process, the poetic value and path, the self realization of nature and life are to the top notch!

I’m currently working on a couple of hillside jobs right now so I appreciate the struggle and opportunities these type of projects present. Really love the transitions and the concept of tracking the sun. Looking forward to the next video!!

[@desireer6915]

This house is soooo well thought out and GORGEOUS. I love the way you designed the house around a relationship between the building and sunlight and reflections. The sundial idea implimented into the roof of the house, so at different times of the day, the light shines through to the different rooms is so cool! I'm also OBSESSED with the room below the pool and how the light reflects through the water into the house! ❤ This is just SO amazing.

[@user-of5bd9xf4s]

Love love love how you integrate your amazing and beautiful video style with actually showing a real life and meaningful project! Please show us more of your architecture work and thoght process 😊

[@ComputerGeekOnTwoWheels]

The flow of the home is beautiful with the light rays and the reflection of water. The only reservation I have is the means of getting to the home. I looked up the site on Google maps and can see that there is a way to get to the property from a road above. You did mention that in the video and "Yes" Orinda has a protective tree ordinance in place. But there is a clause that trees can be relocated on the property. Putting a tram from the bottom would be sketchy since the terrain is steep and the ground is loose. It is a a definitely a challenge but the home would benefit with a safe and practical means of entry.

[@goncaloshred]

I know why I subscribed to your channel, this was simply brilliant! Looking for more updates and projects like this one. Keep it up!

[@wilcokersing5578]

Thank you Dami for brightening up my day and design process. After seven years of architecture on my own you get taken over by time and the urge for an end fast end result but forget to enjoy the process. The process I loved back when studying. I just stumbled across your amazing videos and love the way the quality of how you approach a project and out of the box thoughts flow through the screen. You slowed down my morning with this video, thank you.

[@deerock1377]

Just wow. What a video. It looked great, sounded great, but the ideas communicated within it gave me the warm and fuzzies. I loved seeing your ideas come to life (maze, the large stone at the end of it, the entry way, the sun dial effect throughout the home, the split levels, and my fav the room bathed in the refracted light from the pool). I wish everyone around me was a thoughtful, reflective, and playful as you. Your friends are lucky to know you! Looking forward to the next one!

[@nathanyim]

How did I not find this channel sooner?? I'm fascinated by the whole design process and love the depth of thought that goes into every decision about the house. I particularly like that, despite sight being the 'loudest' of our senses, the way in which one experiences the space through their other senses is also carefully considered. PS: While the house slows down time, the visuals/editing of this video sure did the opposite! Presenting 15min of content in a way that feels like only 5 is an art in and of itself. Cheers! 🕓

[@rafi52ify]

I loved this SO MUCH!! Masterclass in presenting such an incredible, well thought-out project! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

[@GlawinsOctaneTune]

This has been, and continues to be, one of the most amazing journeys I've witnessed. Your descriptive narration, your imagery, your explanation for your choices always leave me with the mental image of actually being able to live the experience as if I have seen it first hand.

[@lordofgraphite]

Loving this, so grateful to be brought along. The way you explain these concepts and how you implement them into the design is incredibly inspiring

[@Elevendyeleven]

Like so many other amazing pieces of architecture, its incredible. I just wish regular people had more access to beautiful architecture. For the most part it seems to be reserved for a very lucky few.

[@markkens9]

Time has its separate existence in the long fall from cause to effect. In antiquity until today our fascination has been with the dividing of time into ever-shrinking increments. In your natural restriction of the speed of movement into and inside the structure, I think you have succeeded in your design goal to invite the guest or dweller to savor the space, and by extension the events within it. Impressive...well done! Love your channel and your work!

[@pedro_afonso04]

Just finished my first year of architecture school...I feel so tired and oh i just wanted this to end and get my well deserved hours of sleep and vacations. i was thinking that for about 2 hours, then i found this video and all of a sudden im not tired anymore, now i just want to start the next year and explore more architecture, the way you talk about the project and the way you present this is simply amazing, truly inspiring.

Your videos are so analytical and lyrical at the same time. They touch the heart, the soul and the mind. You are a great inspiration for me and also a gift: your videos always shine in deep corners of my mind where some reflections are stored and never come out so often. You always remind me that reflecting on things is important. Thanks for sharing all your work!

[@marcusperry9481]

Wonderful video. Another torpedo shot to hurry sickness lands. Beautiful architectural concept; I really like the pause area before entering where you separate the outside from the inside. Right now I'm using a brass Victorian era pedestal table with a silver eagle on it and the entirety of my kitchen island for that function. I may try to to integrate something similar using scrap wood and an old cedar chest. Probably not, though. 🙃

[@hichemmmm]

I think making the house blend more with it's environment would be excellent, you could do that by adding grass rooftops and falling plants all around the house to contrast the green floors more.

[@GabrielLeite123456789]

Grass rooftops are incredibly thick, heavy and expensive, requiring dedicated drainage systems. Not feasible for this house

[@countess3047]

The love you have for your craft emanates through every little detail of this video. It's heartwarming

[@mattlubetich6333]

Multiple favorite parts of this video/archi project: I have done walk under polymer pools (at 24 story ele.) and love how you made what I call the cubby-room below. That light arc, along with the light in the entryway are my favorite parts of the archi project. My favorite part of the video is when you pull out the wall divider at the entrance as you are deciding how to adjust the skylight and how the light will refract. That was pretty cool! I love modeling and site visits...Your model detail is awesome. Great job.

[@atharvchakole4280]

I loves how you integrated the 'refraxation room' into the house via steps. It really lends to the feeling that you're on a hill (while also being in a separate concept of time as you mentioned). The idea of being connected to the physical world around you while being disconnected from the construct of time just seems really cool to me. It gives a lightness to the design I can't quite describe. This video is honestly one of your best, PLEASE keep making more 🙌. @theatharb

Oh! Quick note: Bullwhips are a tool moreso than they are a weapon. Although if someone is holed up behind a bar with a pistol, a bullwhip is an effective way to arch the angle of attack. #businesstips The Cincinnati Reds are a ball team in Cincinnati Ohio. They play American baseball.

[@BygoneBuffalo]

I agree with everything in this statement. It's interesting that the comment escalated to some sort of life threatening occurrence inside a tavern, but this author's accurate description of what may or may not occur in such an event seems viably possible given certain conditions. The statements about baseball seem out of context, but they are simply statements. Each one appears to be accurate and non-threatening. Baseball is a sport. This person would appear to be representing themselves as potentially being a fan of sports, given certain conditions.

[@marcusperry8978]

@BygoneBuffalo I'm in agreement with this statement as well. Also, I would like to add that I believe there may be additional humor attached to this particular comment. My reason for making that statement is the fact that the image that I'm seeing as the thumbnail is an image of Harrison Ford (American actor) in a brown hat walking through what appear to be cobwebs (perhaps produced by an arachnid of some kind). This is what appears to me to be in reference to the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. In that film, the lead character (who is portrayed by American actor Harrison Ford at the time of the filming) does in fact brandish a bullwhip in multiple scenes throughout the film.

[@marcusperry9481]

Thanks!

[@marcusperry9481]

Also, I've seen the fabric-like concrete somewhere else.. would either be Nashville or Cincinnati.. will probably come to me eventually.

[@marcusperry9481]

Where else have I seen this fabric concrete? I can see it. I know exactly what that stuff is. Where was it...?

[@WandersNowherre]

I love how you get a sense of an architect as both a scientist and an artist here.

Me pergunto se seria bom envelhecer nessa casa, são muitas escadas... Mas uma coisa eu tenho a dizer, eu finalmente entendi pra que serve a arquitetura :D

[@mabus4910]

I'm torn about this project: it's a beautiful house, in a beautiful location. I also get the impression that there really is a philosophy behind it, if not some poetry. Far too often, when it comes to architecture, I have the impression that the architects only want to express their ego and then invent post facto explanations for it. It is definitely a house I would enjoy living in. On the other hand, it is a very expensive project that only a few very privileged people can afford, and in a very isolated location. In times of housing crises, I see that as a minus. The residents will have to rely on one or more cars for the smallest errand, which is not very good for the environment. The heart says yes, the mind says no.

This video is beautiful with all the meaning of the word, I'm astonished and blown away by this piece of art.

Incredible video, incredible house! The client will love this video, all of the process and thought explained by the architect herself, how incredible

Thanks for keeping us updated on the project and its progressions.

I've just watched your video 'Yugen' about your time in Japan (soon I will experience it fully 🙏🏽) This came on after, and it's made me feel something I don't have a word for; a familiarity, an emotion which as I write this tears are rolling down my cheeks, not of sadness but the indefinable 'isness'. Your work, and the philosophy you work from is incredible... I look forward to more, thankyou 🙏🏽💚

Love this video 🤍 The idea, cinematography, storytelling, design, and everything is really beautiful

I really love the whole concept of this house, the architecture, how it blends with nature, and the personal experiences you bring into it! Would love to see more of this house and its progress in future :)

Stunningly beautiful video: you keep getting better and better. As a Californian, I can't even begin to imagine how much this house must have cost. The client must have loved it! Your dynamic model made it very accessible to those of us who will never experience this home.

I love this house and I would love to see you and the team go farther in your concepts of light and time. Their is so much narrative and philosophy in it that you practically have endless amounts of ways to capture these elements in the built environment. Great job

This house is so beautiful. Loving the interplay with light and time. 👏🧐

You guys make architecture such a neat thing. I always was interested in architecture (not a passion but something really cool) and the concept of time being savored by this house, it being the center of the design, is so amazing. I hope that the client loves the final design that you create.

Hey Dami! Thanks for the video, I took a lot of notes and you helped me realize things. My favourite part was the water's reflection on the wall! It creates a completely different experience. I also loved how you made a few steps in each place instead of dividing them into rooms. It's a beautiful solution to the topography! I got two favourite's! 😊

I had teary eyes while watching this. The concept was so beautiful 🥰 As an architecture student, I hope I could come up with a concept like this someday too. Truly an inspiration, Dami 🥰

WOW! You are moving people with your work. It's beautiful. I'm greatful that our lives intersect in this way. It reminds of the 15 year old me who wanted to pursue Architecture and and have such impact with his work. I instead took on Law. Not to say i regret it, because I love it too. Watching your content allows me to live that dream vicariously through you, giving me the best of both worlds. So thank you... Keep inspiring!
