Rem Koolhass took a 25 year break from building private homes. Follow along as he makes his return on a steep hill in Austria, with the successor to the famous House in Bordeaux.

An international tech entrepreneur purchases an impossibly narrow piece of steep mountain slope in Austria, where he grew up. The building site will only allow for a 4-meter-wide house. This challenge sparks the interest of famous architect and founding partner of OMA Rem Koolhaas. It will be the first private house Rem builds since his acclaimed House in Bordeaux over 20 years ago. The building process was captured by photographer and filmmaker Frans Parthesius, using primarily a simple static security camera. Slowly, the house reveals itself as the film reveals clues about Koolhaas's process and his relation to the client.

DA:

Rem Koolhaas tog en pause på 25 år fra at tegne private boliger. Følg med, når han vender tilbage – på en stejl bjergskråning i Østrig – med efterfølgeren til det berømte House in Bordeaux.

En international tech-iværksætter køber et utroligt smalt stykke bjergskråning i Østrig, hvor han er vokset op. Byggegrunden tillader kun et hus, der er fire meter bredt. Denne udfordring fanger interessen hos den verdensberømte arkitekt og stiftende partner i OMA, Rem Koolhaas. Det bliver det første private hjem, Rem bygger siden det anerkendte House in Bordeaux for over 20 år siden. Byggeprocessen er dokumenteret af fotograf og filminstruktør Frans Parthesius, primært ved hjælp af et simpelt, stationært overvågningskamera. Langsomt afslører huset sig selv, i takt med at filmen giver små indblik i Koolhaas’ arbejdsproces og hans relation til bygherren.
