Wonderful video and beautiful restoration. I created a previous Smith House II KZbin video entirely from photos kzbin.info/www/bejne/jImxdmmarLpkjKc. As an architect, I've always wanted to see that home in person and these interior shots are the next best thing. In one sense, it's a bit of a shame that Gordon and Marion's studio spaces are no longer being used for their original purpose. But It appears they are being used as home gallery spaces, which happily honors that element of the original program. This home and its integration with its setting has always seemed a masterwork to me. Even if Erickson had never done another building, he would still be known for this creation.
