Wembury Mews

London, 2024, 3:41 min

The short film about Wembury Mews begins by immersing the audience in the surroundings of the London Borough of Haringey. Guided by the chime of St. Augustine Highgate’s church bell, the narrative transitions to the house, with the view of the church tower from within the serene walled garden. As morning light enters the ground floor, the film explores the relationship between the interior spaces and the outdoor terrace. When the garden door opens, the story moves outside to showcase the rear façade, then transitions to the front of the house, highlighting the corridor that defines the spatial arrangement of the project and the linear connection along the 20-meter-long axis. After returning inside the home through the upstairs window, the narrative then descends through the intricate timber stairwell. In its final sequence, the film captures the transition to night, syncing the rhythm of lights and music as curtains draw closed, and a bottle of wine is uncorked, leaving viewers with a sense of intimacy and closure.
