What if we’ve been building houses wrong this entire time? Home (watch trailer,runtime: 1:58) is a docu-series that travels around the world to find the most unique homesteads and the people who built them. Some focus on sustainability, some on efficiency, and some on maximizing small spaces. Each home comes with a story just as fascinating as the structures themselves.

Naturhus is a house within a house. In one episode, we meet Anders Solvarm, who built a log cabin for himself and his family in Sweden before building a greenhouse around it to create a Mediterranean climate. In Bali, we’re introduced to a bamboo palace, in Hong Kong a 30-square-meter apartment optimized for versatility, and in Mexico, a 3D-printed home.

The docuseries is a beautifully shot show that goes beyond exhibition. It focuses on the innovation in the creation of these houses as well as the intentions behind designing them. Each episode is 30-40 minutes long and focuses on a different home. The structure can be a little formulaic, but the uniqueness of each home and each designer offsets what little uniformity there is.
