It’s always interesting when one of the architecture channels has an opening drone shot that makes you go, “Wait, I know that leafy hill in front of towers in front of a sound.” Welcome to a lovely residence in the Leschi neighborhood (or just slightly south). The rest of the video is a sturdy mix of ARCH 301 studio description and the ASMR real estate videos with the ever-moving camera. Bonus for the use of the word “gizmo” to describe the front door’s opening mechanism.
Presenter Kevin Kudo-King is the owner-principal of architecture firm Olsen Kundig who designed the house. The firm has overseen local landmarks like the Center for Wooden Boats and the Burke Museum. Kudo-King has collaborated on a number of galleries and residential projects, and does some good work here explaining the benefits of exposed pipes.
From an analysis point of view, sometimes it’s just fun to see a local building talked up and listen to how architects describe Seattle to the outside world.
Hopefully there’s a ton of sunlight and not “liquid light” for your holiday weekend plans. Welcome to summer, everyone.
