    About the film

    After 30 years, extraordinary architects Thom Mayne and Robin Donaldson return to a pivotal site in their careers. 2.5 years to design, 2.5 years to build, the Crawford House in Montecito, California, emerged as a house of ideas and one of the world’s most widely studied pieces of residential architecture.
