"You find a house by its light well. Everything else is furniture."

Ines Marr, on House 14

Fr. 14A. Three storeys around one planted court in Ostra, filmed rising from the garden path to the roof.

"The plainest shed on the hill, and the only one with a window where the evening lands."

Ines Marr, on the barn

Fr. 17. A timber barn on the Vael ridge, walked around from the porch to the gable end.

"Behind a pale door, one room the colour of cherries. That room is the whole house."

Ines Marr, on the cabin

Fr. 22. A pine cabin above the lake at Lanthe; the door swings open on the sleeping room.
