In Residence Ep 14: “Alexandre de Betak” by Matthew Donaldson

[@novifilms]

Watching these videos has re-sparked my desire to become an architect and make beautiful spaces. It might just have been the kick I needed. Thank you Mathew and Nowness.

[@ashoornable]

[@susancorgi]

Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!its like a home on a cloud, with its creaminess, ereathal openness, uncomplicated but extremely profound statement at the same time. Very personal but warm and inviting. Along with that amazing music,,,from my country!❤🇪🇸

[@andresmatagu8992]

I dont know why but this house looks like if it had been taken out of an Almodovar’s film, beautiful 💛

[@prashanthb6521]

Yep

[@whatithoughtyouwere]

my thoughts exactly - though perhaps missing the bold colours

[@jamesjiang1274]

Agree! I’m getting a lot of Pain & Glory from this

[@lydiarowe491]

On repeat..couldn't get enough of this serene place of tranquil bliss⭐

[@ethelforbes6571]

Wine on tap...Inspired. That certain something between pride and humility...humanity.

[@Bobouwehand]

I need a wine tap.

[@marneycohen9165]

Most beautiful home, so soft and dreamy uncluttered...

[@miroporvos]

"I spent the first year and a half, two years buying..." I thought he was going to say pillows.

[@earth0337]

[@TomahAwkDJ7]

[@SamanthaFrancis]

[@troianoleonardo]

What BEAUTIFUL music is that????

[@Funes5]

Not just a house, a lifestyle!

[@popeye94]

He must have a lot of people over. Those couches look so comfortable.

[@Freedomexpresstrain]

The house is as sensually alive as it is aesthetically dreamy.

[@robontube12]

Very beautiful, thanks for showing!

[@helveticalouie]

[@bennydimirco5073]

[@rmiddlehouse]

[@pocavida]

Literally my dream home🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@meg8809]

Holy cow this is amazing

[@eugenicasanovasolanes8338]

A flamenco guitar in Majorca is like a Scottish pipe in Gibraltar.

[@ETIENNE8100]

Simplicity is stunning

[@pihermoso11]

if you could look past the 2 babes at 2:34, there's a darth vader helmet and a robot, my initial guess was that it was Mazinger Z ( Tranzor Z ) but then i looked closely and the robot head is not it, mazinger z had a very iconic helmet shape so i did a little research and it is actually GRENDIZER, which is in the same anime universe as mazinger z.. that would explain their similarities in body lines and color..

[@carlosagell3094]

theres also a R2D2 sculpture and a Vader Scarecrow in the garden! :)

[@mequable]

I'm clicking away when I see the name of the director. How is it possible to put together so many closeups and so little actual footage of the interior or exterior?! It's beyond me.

[@XxclzTHexX]

increíble .... vista la mar, jardín y espacios bien ocupados ... es espectacular

[@valvacious2793]

I like the furniture, the white leather chair, sofa etc.

[@phmwu7368]

A bit Star Wars inspired...

[@AngusRobert]

​@@phmwu7368 He is sitting in an 'Elda' chair, originally designed by Joe Colombo around 1963 - Star Wars came out in 1977. Plenty of designers were ahead of Lucas and co., with regards to shaping what was then considered to be the image of the future.

[@AngusRobert]

In your defence, he's also sitting next to sculptures of Darth Vader.

[@69elchupacabra69]

I'm a simple man I like the tits

[@E-Kat]

This is true home!

[@Zaparancuencano]

Una pasada, el entorno y la casa. No me importaría pasar allí unos días 🙄🙏🏻

[@KID-963]

This is such a fire house

[@TheYoungSuccess]

Does anyone know the name of the song?

[@caramimi]

Falseta por levante by Miguel Angel Orcaray

[@ExtraordinaryTK]

Does any one knows what materials are these houses built from? Houses like these of Santorini or Italy where the wall is almost like hand polish so it's imperfect. creamy white with no window frame. It can't be just common cement and white paint right? it's looks more older and primitive and wonderful.

[@eripa141]

The materials used for this result is white plaster. There are many ways to apply white plaster to the walls but if I'm correct this one in particular is called Tadelakt. Layered six to seven times and mainly used in bathrooms since the product is water resistant. I hope that helps putting a name to what you're looking at the video. Have a nice day 🌞

[@ExtraordinaryTK]

@@eripa141 Tadelakt - That's brilliant mate thank you. According to Google, it is waterproof and water repelled which is one of the key elements I was looking for. I will do more research if this is what is used in Santorini as well because every video on youtube they are all just conventional concrete and white paint. It started with beautiful white mud/cob houses, how the exterior is visually pleasing. I later learned that the coating of cob houses is lime-based plaster and it is not water-resistant, hint the roof and how they must have extended edge to protect the cob from rainwater. However, I came across Santorini cliff-side resident and they share similarity accept Santorini building have no roof. I always thought the ancient built it with just stone and unknown waterproof white powder coating or some sort and I always prefer the old style of architecture, the simplicity of it all.
