I watch this periodically. I love his home so much. The homes architects create for themselves are often their best works because they are labors of love for their families.

I love this house - the light and dark spaces, the open flow, and the coziness at the same time.

Absolutely stunning design work. Extraordinary in its integration into the landscape. Beautiful contrasting materials, interlocking volumes, elegant lighting effects, light and shadows, just spectacular work. New to me and very pleased to find it here today. Thanks for posting.

I find these sequences frustratingly short...

I remember watching this when I had creative blocks back in college a couple years ago. I miss all the dark early mornings I spent sitting in a cafe taking out my plates and listening to this video, so awesome.

A piece of architecture like this is impossible to comprehend by this kind of video. Music selection for this video was good. Goes nice with the dramatic design

if i could have any house. I'd love Ray Kappe's house, just the spaces and that it sits in a forest of trees...with lots of light. The perfect multi-functional space, each with it's own section

I had the pleasure of walking through this property during a tour of homes in the 1990’s, which included the Eames House… a truly memorable day.

I hear him in a lecture in SCI-Arc and he is the most incredible inspiring person.

We are currently building our own house, heavily inspired by Ray Kappe. I had hoped to show him the end result. Unfortunately it’s too late for that. RIP Mr Kappe.

What a grace, what a beauty of character, both house and owner.

[Effyyy]

His place is so beautiful like im in a psychological horror art house type of film can't explain but that's what the vibe his house is giving to me

[elisekhoury]

Stunning design and great use of light!
As well the video captures perfectly the essence of the house.

[alvaroa.fuentes]

i the music fits the house since its dark and surrounded with trees

Get back to nature with a visit to American architect Ray Kappe’s LA hideaway, complete with private natural spring

[susancorgi]

One day i'm gonna have a house like that. Design every inch of it.

[antoniofernandolopezgarrid]

Simplemente maravillosa. Un sitio idílico

It's so perfect, amazing way to mix a house as a true home, right in the forest. Beautiful. Just one thing, how much is for gardening expenses monthly?

[suginami]

Delightful house and ambience. No music might have been better.
