Would have loved to have seen the house. Instead of glimpses of a corner.
you didnt underestand the film then
@@guillermotaylor6506 you don't understand life you dense cabbage.
@@heisenberg9616 no I dont... Im really far away from understanding life, and Im pretty sure most people dont understand life either.
What I do understand is this little film we´ve just watched
Detail.
@Guillermo Taylor Heinsberg’s probably a Teenager. Thanks for showing patience with him
His dad gave him 500 dollars in 1958 (he was born in 1940) and that’s approximately 4,525 usd right now lol.
Thats what I was wondering when he mentioned that
Why isn't anyone talking bout this detail 😭
Awsome
And he's currently worth $500 million.
@@musk4mars116 yep 😭 he sounded so casual as if 500 was a small sum of money for a teenager
imagine waking up and hearing the birds chirp and breathing the clean air and having some fresh fruit smoothie for breakfast and drinking clean water.
it is my reality and it is worth the pursuit.
Ahh Maine I love thee
I’m fortunate, that is the way I wake in the mornings. I live in a tiny tiny one room home in the Vienna Woods and every morning is a glorious cacophony of birdsong and on windy days the constant sway of trees and the Sound of the wind moving through them.
@@ianmedium you’re so lucky
That lake water isn't drinkable. Learn about water!!!
Imagine how incredible it is here when it rains
i can feel it, very deep vibes, gloomy , sad ,serenity,foggy, romance & mystic All mix together also when you see the window and look at the rain fallin with a cup of tea/coffee/wine thinking about mystery of life.
Um, you forgot to show us the freakin' house and talk about it's design.
Open your eyes while watching.
Reminds me of when a coach hired a guy to come in and film our team for an instagram ad. Really artistic and creative shots but the stuff he was filming was just fucking trash.
My grandfather was an architect and for retirement he designed himself a modern "treehouse" on the Oregon Coast on a cliff looking over the ocean. This reminds me so much of that. I miss that home it was so magical to visit there. The pacific northwest is magical, and it doesn't surprise me that another architect wanted to build a similar home for themselves. Great video :)
Damn. Looks like the house from Ex Machina
Exactly
Yes it does. The house in Ex Machina is located in Norway and was featured in season one of Extraordinary Homes (available on Netflix).
juvet.com - The hotell fra Ex Machina. I live almost next door to this :) Best regards from Norway.
I think so
As soon as I heard this treehouse was facing south, it made me think about the sunlight that the house would get from morning until early afternoon :-). Places (esp. when it comes to getting an apartment in Korea) facing south are most preferred and it was great to hear about what Mr. Olson learned during his studies abroad. Thank you, Nowness, for all these amazing clips and narrations!
Every builder must know south-facing advantages, no?
@@enblanchard5492 just do it..can not try....oh no..
Like what everyone else here are saying, show the house, the house!
I love the moods you all create with the music, lighting and angles, but I really needed to see more of this space! It looked interesting from what I peeped.
A tour and some discussion about the details of the house would have been amazing. Nice video and home overall.
I always dreamed of getting home and atmosphere like this
Too many extreme closeups...(for instance, a 1’ X 2’ spot).....can’t see anything that shows me wtf this place actually looks like. Need to zoom out a bit.
Architecture isn’t always about the grand scale it’s about the moments it creates
And it made the inside of the house look super boring. TBH the best part about this wasn't even the house, it was the property.
@@KimiEclipse u know nothing please go back to arch school
@@lisandroas9 I know what I can see.
In this particular instance it was some poor choices of camera angles, closups and editing. Nothing to do with "arch"
@@KimiEclipse then if u never went to arch school please dont talk about what arch "really" is. Stay in your lane mister
i want to cry at how beautiful this house on the lakefront is
don't cry. be harmony
+River Klain Not a lake. It's on Puget Sound.
cry me a river, ...
If only the presentation were more artsy-fartsy-pretentious. Cry? No way. Retch? Close.
Way too short. Why did you not show more of the inside? Also I think Bach was hijacked. Bach is so divine - anything you show with this music gets elevated to a heavenly level.
I bought a block of land similar to this about 5 yrs ago (without the beach, just bush) Many aspects of this house is what I dream of building so I had a big smile on my face watching this. Waking up to the birds chirping, nestled amongst the trees, either doing yoga on the balcony or snuggled up on a comfortable hammock chair sipping coffee. I dream of that everyday. Bliss.
It reminds of the car crash scene in ferris buellers day off
That's rush the bands practice area!
@John Smith shut up
@John Smith one more time.
Shut up
😂
Im joking
As an architecture student I wish my dad gave me 500 dollars to build a house in the Woods LUL
Jim, are you telling me I can take $500 and build one of those out on my step-dad's pasture? Hill behind you and facing south over the water; would there be enough for me to build the pond too, or is that going to set me back another $500? Im asking for a friend.
I felt the same way. Apparently there's a lot more to the story... olsonkundig.com/projects/cabin-at-longbranch/
103 years of property kept in the family! That’s amazing!
Okay BUT WHERE IS THE PRINGLE HOUSE, ANYBODY?!
And with J.S. Bach - Cantata BWV 4 "Christ lag in Todesbanden ...simply divine.
In fact music is far more great
Your house is prone to wild animals also, like snakes
Is this where Cameron Frye sent his dad’s Ferrari crashing through the garage window?

Beautiful. I love the silver wood walls surrounding the bed. What a little jewel of a room. Very well done film as well. A+ work for everyone.
It looks very peaceful.❤️
Does anyone know what song this is?
Perfect living environment
My favorite part was the newspaper (what’s a newspaper?) blowing open and off. imperfect & “retro”.
Oliver Burke : yes but I don’t think it was recycled naturally organic paper and full of nasty print chemicals.
The music feels like from a slice of life japanese anime🙄❤️
video made my morning shine!How lucky to live there!Thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!I love this site!
I want a house like that!
Really like these videos, but wish they showed more house and less conversation.
More "reportage" instead of ambient moody, touchy- feely ,free form- floaty, dopey camera moves.
It's awsome
Damn looks so cozy
Hi, scrolled down into the comments and couldn't find out the composer and piece,.anyone know?
Bach „Christ lag in Todesbanden”
I wish a house like your house. It is all what I deeply need.
I'm just wondering how all these people with houses in the middle of nowhere get fiber internet?
exodus2oo They don’t. You have to have satellite internet if you’re way out there. I’ve got it. It’s ok but it’s not unlimited data and data that you’re allowed goes pretty quickly. But better than dial up.
@@soarornor damn..
Starlink
I think a lot of people don’t understand the difference between architecture and interior design...also the fact that “this house is about looking out” which is a statement of the owner. And nowness is never about showing just the design of a dwelling.
Houses that are housed by nature is the real definition of home.
The bgm and the colour tone undermines greatly how beautiful of a house this is
Blessed are the ones who lives like this in this world
Dream Home...omg
The Lake House
Beautiful! Simple, nature is the star!
And then Hollywood couple rent this house for romantic film
Jim Olson is one of the finest architects and i love his sense of simplicity.
Beautiful environment ♻️ love the house around the cedar :)
really didnt "SHOW" the house just the outside and surrounding woods - rather 'misleading' video
Little house in the big woods
(บ้านเล็กในป่าใหญ่)
Heaven on earth
(สวรรค์บนดิน)
I remember first reading about this house .. a natural accretion of pavilions over the years
.. beautiful place, beautiful structures
This is everyone's dream... The surroundings, the place and the house it was perfect.. Superb! 🏡 💯👌
Perfect zombie apocalypse house. Would probably need to hide it a little bit more so that people wouldn't find it. But that could be done with more leaves/trees foliage etc.
Great atmosphere. Images of being inside the house on a rainy night, Miles Davis playing in the background and your pizza just arrived.
stunning video, stunning project stunning music!!! pure energy!!!
beautiful exprience thank you for sharing
500$ ? ...🤨 Mmmm magic budget control
Great time capsule and story of the legacy and the journey from the past to the present into the future. Thanks guys for sharing
Quite wonderful. Love the last video of Jim Olson walking along the water and what looks like a silhouette of a small dog observing in the foreground. Was it?
Did the videographer forget his wide lenses? Imagine turning up to film an interior with nothing below a 50mm... this is just a patchwork of closeups. I just want to see the interiors as they are, not one corner at a time.
My dad gave me five hundred thousand dollars..pheww..must be nice!!!!
500 $ go build a house...
..mfw today you get 2 4x4 20 nails and a snickers for that price...
I clicked the video because I was interested in this style of house, and I was glad to hear that you studied in Korea. It's a very good location, a house facing south with mountains behind and water in front. Thank you for letting me see a nice house.
Me being a an antisocial introvert: Take my money!
My dream house exactly looks like this
Wow ! now, 50,000 dollars or 100,000 ?! What the price of such first-world-options ?!
For everyone frustrated by this video, you can see photos and details of the house here: olsonkundig.com/projects/cabin-at-longbranch/
Thank you for sharing the link!
Bless your soul, I was just about to leave an annoyed comment lmaoooo!
People complining about they dont show the house didnt underestand the concept. It is a short film, about a house... and if you want to see more, just go to their web site
I have many scenic location in my village HillSurng Himalayan Region Pakistan administrative Kashmir district,Bagh,Tehsil Dhirkot this is my village where there i was born and raised up i know my village even most other then else i miss you 😭
Where's Bryce Langston when you need him 💯💯

" Please come in "
Beautiful house but it looks sad
few people know what they want you created what you wanted being able to enjoy and feel peace of mind while is priceless thx for sharing
You have the results, of course the beautiful results.
But then you have the architectural plans, the 3d model, the physics and engineering of this object. All of that is beautiful too.
The irony is that we do not get paid for making all those things. We get paid for THINKING and solving architectural problems. Jim Olson gave an outstanding solution that deserves recognition. He had fun doing what he loves the most.
I dont understand the flat roof, under all those trees.
I love single pitch roofs, but I how does he keep from having his roof leak from a flat roof plus organic debris build up that practically guarantees poor drainage
Beautiful! Being one with nature . Very fortunate man.
Beautiful! This place is amazing! I could easily lose myself over there... forever!
The pretentious director signed up to do a architecture video but isnt interested in architecture. Never trust a youtube video that starts with "A film by Director's Name" all big. They make it about them and not the source they're exploiting for their reel.

How does he get this place insured as a place to live? Insurance in rural areas north of me require land cleared around the building unless it's a recreational property. This wouldn't stand a chance in even a small forest fire. You can't live here.
Here son. Have some free land. Here son have some free money. Here son have a free college education.
I love it. The music, also amazing.
very cool. would love to work fro this guy.
what a masterpiece!
So...this is a $500 bunkhouse? Nothing says "nature" to me more than concrete and lucite and metal I-beams, its like you can smell the freshness....
strzał w dziesiątkę! Pana komentarz w sensie :P
No... I think that is what inspired him to eventually build this, I believe. I actually like how it works with enviroment. To each their own.
lucky bastard
Where am I inside ???? I look around and still see my room !!!! LOL!!! I need this house !!!
배산임수[背山臨水]를 배우신 분~ ㅎㅎㅎ
Can somebody please tell me the name of background music?
Don't be a numpty, what do you mean you didn't plan to face south? You would have seen where sun 🌞 set in relation to your position and decided that was the perfect place 👌
That's quite the achievement with dad's $500 budget
Lots of critical comments to mine, which is reasonable, but for me I love the film it fits my brief. Thank you so much
Not bad with $500
Sorry if there someone tell me what is the name of the background music?
So beautiful
Beautiful house . Perfect location facing nature's in its glory .
what a horrible choice of music. why requiem? did someone die?
awesome place
What is the background music?
great home. if only i had the money to build 1 like that
