I have seen this video maybe 20 times now over the last years, and it continues to impress me. It makes you almost wistful, but in a beautiful way. Everything here fits together: the images, the words, the music. It is perfect and pure. So tasteful, so inspiring.

[@ladolcevita7793]

Very true, I think about this video and miss it,,,,,,, I watched it over 40 times. It’s truly magical it inspires me every time.

[@scheepalicious]

The art direction, the music, the pacing, her delivery (and the part where she looks down pensively, saddened for no reason at all) - poetry in motion.

[@CRFSUIGENERIS]

Well said.

[@jenns.5791]

i thought the same thing. ..the first time I watched this, i caught myself being captivated the moment she "looks down pensively" ..I seriously had to pause it and go back and watch that moment again and again. ..i didn't know whether to be happy, to feel sad or to fall in love with her... - OR - all of the above. there's just something so beautiful, organic and human about that moment...

[@hieroglyph321]

You have a simple mind. Easily led.

[@hieroglyph321]

@@jenns.5791 It's the guilt. She looks down because she's thinking: "Holy f@ck, this cannot be right ... but I'll take it ... I'll take it. Sorry, Lord, I'm taking it!". *burst into pensive tears* There's your f@cking poetry :)

[@oltedders]

It was more like a depressing art film.

[@CRFSUIGENERIS]

Never thought looking at a beautiful home could feel so profound, like I was staring into the vast universe, but alas, they were only furniture and rooms... I know the music is a heavy part in it, but there is something about harmonious and regal spaces that make you feel close to the universal "divine".

[@hashemmd172]

I am not focused, but i feel something behind the words

[@milanthedrummer]

Soundtrack is amazing indeed. It's Max Richter

[@tomhuijben1073]

careful consideration and surrounding yourself with beautiful things (not just aesthetically but also with stories and meaning) does a whole lot of good to you 😉

I couldn't help crying... watching this video I felt like this house is an old friend I've just met again after a long time.

[@eandean]

Exactly. The natural gloomy light reminded me of places I've been when I was a child. It's nostalgic and melancholic.

[@markcharney3556]

it's not the house; it's the music, the light work, the movement of the camera. Come there on a regular day, it's just a grand, lonely, sad place....and such a waste of valuable, life-changing resources...what a waste of life

[@fawziasajid5410]

Beyond mesmerising. This is by far the most beautiful home I’ve ever seen. No words can describe it’s haunting elegance. A true reflection of the owner. The background music could have been written with this house in mind because it was in perfect harmony.

[@kat.5927]

Such a sad melancholic vibe to this house. I don't know why, it's beautiful though. But as somebody who's dealt with depression, I've become very aware and sensitive to my surroundings and as soon as I go somewhere I know immediately if the place will lift up my spirits or bring me even further down.

[@fergal2424]

Kat G. The music.

[@In_time]

Kat G. What would this place do for you?

[@Ursaminor31]

Yes the tone was to be timeless ethereal but it came off as lonely solitude

[@chrisblue6916]

I do think the music, although beautiful, sets the mood. Maybe watch without the sound off and see if you feel differently

"It's a very happy house." Background music: I am gonna kill this house's career.

When Ms. Uniacke looked down and for a brief moment allowed us to see the undoubtedly immense personal struggle in all that was involved for such a gorgeous success, it was impossible not to be so moved by her emotion... Thank you, Ma'am...

“It’s a very happy house to me.” However the song chosen is one of the saddest songs ive ever heard. But absolutely beautiful.

[@primrosedahlia9466]

I don't find it sad at all. I find it so full of joy. It's called On the nature of daylight, and to me it's a representation of how beautiful the changing daylight is. It's like age, every age has its charm. I can see all my beautiful memories flash before me. I thi K this episode especially represented the house so beautifully. The way a home can represent so many different positive things, bot with lots of people in it, or just the homeowner. You know, creating memories there, and also painting a picture of who you are as a person through the interiors you design

[@swicheroo1]

It's not a 'song.' Songs have words.

Something about this video has silence that resonates so deeply and yet absolutely cracks you open. Like water freezing into ice. Like the smell of blown out birthday candles.

[@celiajarvis3168]

The House itself is a piece of art even without the furnishings. The sensuality of the stairs, the garden, the simplicity of the bathroom. Love the heavy, tall doors and windows. Rose Uniacke designer extraordinaire.

[@mariajensen4538]

yes, extraordinary

[@jesusnaseiro-gayoso5975]

She is magnificent, and subsequently her home........( monastical, tranquil, serene, harmonious.....), and I love how the music of Max Richter fills the silent spaces. Superb.

[@ICareBecauseYouDo]

the other "my place" videos are mesmerizing but this one has such a rich emotional dimension to it

[@mingw6965]

I might be biased by saying this is probably my favorite in the series only because Rose Uniacke is one of my favorite designers. This home is simply perfect in every way, shape and form..

[@marlenegraham]

I watched this video several times. I found the video along with the music to be spiritual and touching. The lighting in the rooms was perfect yet haunting...taking me back to a house i owned and a house i grew up in.

[@mooka4515]

Understated, yet stunningly and poetically beautiful. A graceful and lovely interior space. I love Rose Uniacke and the music selected was superb for the space.

[@mgdkns6678]

K O I wouldn't call that house understated by any means.... It is sophisticated luxury, and indeed poetic...

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

The amazing brick like secret door in the internal garden room....the pure white orchids, the historic water feature and ficus lyrata reaching towards the sky and bringing nature in ......the cello.....the cinematography......the pacing....of pans....and of words....gorgeous......

[@ellydavis2066]

Gorgeous. Filmed so well you can feel the house, what it would be like to walk through it alone. I can see why she is happy there even when it's empty.

[@madi846]

This is beautiful and the cinematography is 10/10 but I wish there were more shots that actually showed the rooms instead of just the most pretty shot they could get in the room

[@nowness]

If you liked Rose's house then you'll love what's coming up. We have two brand new episodes of In Residence launching this week. Keep your eyes peeled!

[@bolderiks]

Well balanced poetic interior. Vilhelm Hammershøi would've loved this to pieces, and so will I.

[@sharksport01]

It's not balanced at all, most of the rooms...all the contents are below the half of the volume. Except for the plant area, and its cluttered.

[@Deemce]

SharkSport its not a minimalist style house if that’s what you think when you said it’s cluttered. It’s well balance and some of the room isn’t full of furniture eg, the hallway, the bathrooms. In fact the garden is the most cluttered I’d say.

[@rmonson5002]

@bolderiks thanks for this comment. I had never heard of Vilhelm Hammershøi so I looked him up. I plan to learn more about him and his artwork so thank you! And I'm of Danish descent so I'm especially interested.

What a beautiful and serene film. What a beautiful character. What a delight to see her - I know her name from "World of Interiors", but to see her in her delightful environment means so much more !

[@markcharney3556]

The house is cold and barren, but it's the presentation- the music, the camera movement- that makes it wonderfully otherworldly

[@hijo5966]

1:27 I think this is a key feature that a lot of homes miss is a sense of scale. Either it feels to big or the space is far too small for the furniture purchased. Another thing is a point made by kita konig is the layout. Most homes have weird, impractical layouts with no flow at all. This is simply an exquisite home!

[@nindroid]

On The Nature of Daylight - very ceremonial yet grounded

[@sascha3482]

perfection in every inch of this beautiful house. perfection of fine lines, volume, lights, space...The most beautiful place I have seen in my life

[@constanzeli9915]

This reminded me of the film "Call me by your name". The big old house + the sad music... it all feels familiar.

[@TheFiown]

This is by far my favorite house, the one I can relate Inside to and with a favorite piece of Max Richter too

[@Kennedy749]

Now I know why this song sounds so familiar. It's the OST fro one of my favorite movies Arrival. On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter

[@buddleiabee]

This is song from the movie the arrival, I remember because I liked that song it made the movie more emotional

[@MmmKayHuuNay]

It was in Shutter Island in 2010.

[@mgdkns6678]

It is a song used in many soundtracks, it doesn't "belong" to any movie. It is Max Richter- On The Nature of Daylight.

[@LuisMercadoorg]

This is not a song, is a musical piece; a melody.

I like that these snippets of casa profiles are fundamentally the same as the MTV house tours (or whatever they were named). Yes arguably the former are more tasteful but to me it only speaks at our common humanity, that no matter our background and tendencies, there’s so much more that unites us rather than that which separate us.
