Take Rem Koolhaas with you on holiday!

Koolhaas Houselife, Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, 2008, ’58

Koolhaas Houselife, directed by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine, offers a refreshingly intimate and tactile portrait of the celebrated House in Bordeaux, a 1998 design by Rem Koolhaas / OMA, through the perspective of someone who knows the house better than anyone: the housekeeper.This witty and insightful landmark of architecture filmmaking invites the viewers to experience the building through the rhythms of daily life. Over 24 episodic chapters, we follow Guadalupe Acedo as she dusts, mops, vacuums, waters and reflects on the house’s eccentricities. As she wrestles with automated features gone awry, the film reveals the tension between the architect’s vision and the demands of everyday life.
