Having spent the majority of his life in London, renowned architectural designer John Pawson set about creating a country home for his family, dedicating five years to renovating an old farm in the Cotswolds. Known as Home Farm, the property showcases an unlikely application of Pawson's lauded minimal approach to architecture, resulting in an idiosyncratic masterpiece, combining utilitarian farm buildings – some dating back as far as the 17th century – with modern insertions of glass, steel and concrete.

In this film, Danish director Marcus Clausen juxtaposes Pawson's skilful interventions with the natural beauty of the countryside. Since its completion, Home Farm’s concrete floors, unpainted plaster walls and elm woodwork have come to host a variety of scenes and lively family gatherings. Yet, away from the bustle that often occupies the space, the film presents its intimate spaces in an empty state, focusing on materiality and the play of light that connects the interiors with the natural surroundings.

Exploring the therapeutic nature of Pawson’s architecture, capable of inducing self-reflection, Clausen navigates Home Farm as a place where proportion and scale harmonize. Engaging with Pawson’s design approach, his initial attraction to the space, and the methods through which he learned to live within its walls, Clausen's lens follows his painstaking sense of consideration for enhancing spaces, editing them down to their essential attributes with a view to make daily functions uncomplicated.
