Point of Origin - Building a house in Austria

This documentary showcases the creative process of renowned architect Rem Koolhaas as he tackles the design of a house on an exceptionally narrow piece of land in Zell am See, Austria. The film documents the challenges faced in drawing light into a structure that is primarily underground and less than four meters wide.

Frans Parthesius, the director and filmmaker, captures not only the building process but also the special rapport between Koolhaas and his client, an international tech entrepreneur with a passion for architecture. The runtime of 46 minutes provides a focused glimpse into the intricacies of architectural design and the innovative solutions proposed by Koolhaas.
