“ more than a space ”. a cinematic case study

CORE CONCEPT

“More Than Space” is a 90-second cinematic case study told through the real experience of Jess and her husband.

It showcases how a well-designed renovation can transform everyday life - moving beyond square footage to create a space that simply feels right.

With elegant visuals, emotive storytelling, and a soft testimonial style, the film positions James Spiteri as the architect for clients who value thoughtful, lifestyle-focused design.

about the film

Narration: Jess & her husband (primary voices), with James featured throughout as the architect and expert
Tone: Warm, cinematic, lifestyle-driven
Style: Natural storytelling, high-end visuals, soft-sell
Length: 90 seconds
Flow:

  1. Hook – Honest truth from Jess: “We didn’t need a bigger house—we needed one that worked.”

  2. Problem – Family life felt cramped and disjointed

  3. Introduction of James – “Then we found James. He listened differently.”

  4. The Process – Thoughtful planning, calm execution

  5. Transformation – Light-filled, social, functional living

  6. Close – Emotional reflection + James’ design philosophy: “Good architecture isn’t just structure—it’s how you feel in the space.”

James appears visually throughout (walking through plans, on site, listening, sketching) and speaks sparingly—just enough to position him as intelligent, intuitive, and quietly confident.

Short-Form Clips

These will be edited naturally within the flow of the main piece, but can also be used standalone:

  1. “We didn’t need more space…”
    Jess and husband reflecting on the real motivation behind the renovation

  2. “The moment James walked in…”
    A warm turning point where the project starts to feel possible

  3. “It’s where everything happens now”
    A cinematic look at the finished space and how the family lives in it today

Each clip will be visually elegant, emotionally charged, and tailored for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.
