Voiceover: Organized around a central core containing integrated systems, the house is designed to be disassembled into three chunks, allowing ease of delivery and prefabricated assembly.

[Solar panels and thermal collectors land into place from above.]

Voiceover: The roof's inverted-hip shape, calibrated for optimal solar and rainwater collection, contributes to an architecture that is informed by performance criteria.

[The windows slide into place from the side.]

Voiceover: Cutting-edge solar, fabrication, and environmental intelligence of today's smart homes meet the age-old technology of concrete.

[The landscape lands into place from above.]

Voiceover: Enjoy.

[Background music fades out. Construction sequence fades out. Flythrough animation of the Enjoy House fades in. Background music begins. A male sitting down drinking coffee on front deck fades in and out as the animation is paused.]

[The scene shifts as the camera approaches the front door. A male and female having a conversation on the front deck fades in and out as the animation is paused.]
