Chapter One - Introduction

For those of you who don't have the time to watch the whole film in one sitting, I've broken the documentary up into five little bite size chapters. Chapter 1 is the introduction and will give you a taste of the ideology and inspiration behind this interesting little house. Scroll down to view the other chapters. Enjoy the show!

Chapter Two - The Image of House

Chapter 2 includes an interview with the two designers and a walk through of the ground floor of their home. Housing it seems has become more and more about lifestyle marketing than actual smart design. Choice it seems is plenty if you buy into the glossy stock photos of pretty people sipping lattes with their pure white teeth and fashionable clothes. But if you're not into what the developers are offering it's a different story.

Chapter Three - Angel Investors

Having the will to build your own home is not enough. Like all things in this world you need capital and for first time home buyers finding the financing can be tricky. Thankfully for Pete and Suzanne they had the trust and support of their parents to lend a hand.

Chapter Four - A Personal Note

This chapter includes a walk through of the 2nd floor highlighting the bridge, a key feature of the double height space and circulation in the home. It also includes a candid interview with Suzanne in which she reveals what inspired them to take the plunge and build their dream home.

Chapter Five - Building Relationships

In the final chapter you'll get to see the master suite and the roof garden, as well as, the first addition to Pete and Suzanne's new home.

Welcome Friends of Treehugger

Hello and thanks for stopping by! I'm excited to see the number of people interested in this project by Pete and Suzanne. I'm a big fan of what they have done so I hope you stick around to watch the film.

Thanks to Graham and Lloyd at Treehugger for the post and directing you folks to my corner of the web. Over the next few days I'll post a high rez version for those with the bandwidth. I'm also thinking of breaking the film up into chapters for those of you who want to get the low down on the story, but would rather consume it in bite size amounts - so let me know if you'd rather see it this way.

If you have questions or comments please send me an e-mail at twixt@shaw.ca. I'd love to hear from you.

Peace,

Casey
