VILLA WAALRE
Waalre, Netherlands
2023–
A documentary about the villa designed by Russell Jones outside of Eindhoven that presents the relationship between the villa and the surrounding landscape as they transform across the year and the seasons.

Working closely with architects in the production of videos about contemporary architecture since 2015. The projects selected to shoot follow an interest in strong and clear formal proposals, aesthetically rich spatial conditions, and inspiring landscapes.
