Video & Photography for Canal house

Canal house

Layered with stories and concealed by decades of change, this 17th-century listed canal house has been thoughtfully reawakened by pham.

Over the course of three years, the interior architects completed a full restoration, uncovering original features and reinterpreting them for modern living. The design favours restraint over opulence, creating 800m² of elegant, livable spaces that feel timeless, personal, and precisely crafted.

For a home as unique as this, pham invited us to develop a visual approach that would both honour the project and serve as a visual identity for the firm. To reflect the restoration’s balance of heritage and modernity, we photographed the residence in both digital and analogue formats, applying a subtle filmic grain to the edit. On film, we captured the home’s atmosphere in slow, deliberate frames – drawing attention to the materials, textures, and craftsmanship that define it.
