This was posted about a month ago on Vimeo, and I didn’t think too much about it. However, after finally watching it, I figured it was worth posting.

Columbia City-based Dwell Development, the group responsible for a number of modern homes throughout the neighborhood, including these on Edmunds (starting in the mid $900s), put together a promo video for their Rainier Development project (which has a total of 51 homes). Technically an advertisement for their micro-community, it does, however, provide an overview of this major addition to the neighborhood and highlights the elements, design, and philosophy of the project. Since so many neighbors I’ve spoken with are unaware of the specifics and scale of what Dwell’s been up to at Rainier Vista, (or even the company’s presence and impact on the neighborhood at all) the video–I decided–was worth posting here.
