Whether you are in the real estate business, or need some inspiration on new ways of living, read further to get an introduction to some of our favourite and most inspirational Netflix Series.
1. Abstract: The Art of Design
Get inspired by great design minds in this documentary series that follows artists and designers across the world to understand their work and their thinking process.
Our favourite episode from the second season, which debuted this autumn, is about Olafur Eliasson, an Icelandic-Danish architect and installation artist who explains some of the major steps of his career, what is the state-of-art of his industry and why his work does matter. Eliasson creates rich-sensorial experiences by playing with illusions and physics, such as his particular use of lights to create absence of colours and highlight details.
Through his immersive artworks the artist wants to address social causes by challenging the viewer’s perception and thought. The audience quickly understands during the episode that nothing that you see should be taken as granted and that to really make a difference you need to see beyond.
Experiential design can be used as a form of art, but is a concept that can also be explored inside the real estate context when building a living space or arranging the interiors. Nothing should be left by chance, get inspired by Abstract: The Art of Design and start thinking further.
2. Terrace House
While coliving spaces are becoming increasingly common worldwide, their growth in some countries has been slower than others. One of these cases is represented by Japan, where people culturally tend to keep their lives private.
The so-called “share houses” are still an emerging asset, but the market has a bright future ahead. Believe it or not, one of the main factors that gave attention to the coliving model in Japan is a Netflix reality TV show called Terrace House.
The show, which is already running from 2012, features six young individuals living together in a coliving space while being filmed by numerous cameras. There have been many editions of the series always in a different location. The main difference between Terrace House and other similar reality TV shows is that is completely unscripted, allowing the viewer to better connect with the participants.
Terrace House had a huge success and started to build attention around coliving spaces in Japan, a country with a culture deeply rooted in privacy. By breaking the negative assumptions towards sharing a household with people outside of your own family group, this show has inspired a nation about the positive sides of coliving.
