Rush Creek Village, as exemplified by the several residences in this video, is in good hands ! Beautiful restorations and refinishes, handsome landscaping seemingly provided by a single designer, all beautifully photographed by the moving camera which conveys, again and again, the unfolding spaces within these houses. Bravo to all . . .

Great stuff!

And you gotta love the YouTube viewer comment found under the video:
"I would drywall over all that concrete block and carpet all the floors. Paint all the wood white."

Wakefield III looks perfect to me. I could be very comfortable living in it.

At 15:57 there are two chairs in the Gigante House that look very interesting. I'm not sure how comfortable they would be, however. The back is at quite an angle. One can imagine the dentist saying, "Open wide."

Another intriguing house is the tower at 22:01. I wish that had been visited.

"... photographed by the moving camera...."
That's the important thing. It is important. in order to understand the Rush Creek houses as well as FLW's work. It's a difference between the documentaries by Murray Grigor and Ken Burns: Grigor kept the camera moving, while Burns images were static.
