The Challenge

When architect Glen Oxford and designer Rozanne Jackson built their own home at Alys Beach, the result was four years of work and a home defined by deliberate, personal details, a 25-foot entrance tower, an inverted dining room dome, an oculus casting shadow patterns by the pool. Alys Beach needed a film that could capture what made the home distinctive without flattening it into a standard real estate walkthrough, and do it justice as the personal project of two working designers, not just another featured property.

The Approach

Ninety Nine Natives built the film around Glen and Rozanne's own voices rather than narration, letting the couple explain the thinking behind their choices directly: how flooring set the tone for the entire home, why bedrooms were deliberately kept apart from each other, what the entrance tower was meant to say to a guest walking in for the first time.

The Execution

The film moves through the home the way its architects actually think about it, from the tower's "here we are" introduction, to the flow of stone and French white oak connecting indoor and outdoor space, to the more playful architectural details, the upside-down stairs, the inverted dome, that reward a closer look. Interviews with Glen and Rozanne throughout let a home built by two designers for themselves feel like exactly that, rather than a product shot for a listing.

The Result

The film became a centerpiece of Alys Beach's own Alys Gazette feature on the home, giving Glen and Rozanne's design story a piece that captures the personality behind the property, not just its square footage, for a community publication built around exactly that kind of storytelling.
