A SHADOW

PLAY

REPRE-

SENTATION

OF THE

WORLD

What if, tumbling down from outer space, you fell, like Alice,

through a large, rectangular mirror, finding yourself on our own side

of the Universe: finally bound to planet Earth? These rooms reinvent

the familiar pattern of human life as we know it. Wood and soft fabrics

reconnect us to our need for a fireplace, a stripped down brick wall

offers a humble, solid comfort: this is a place we are instinctively drawn

to – a place easy to call home. Soft tones of sepia are outlined in solid

black, helping our vision to readjust to the intimate pleasures of

domesticity. Objects are at rest in the natural light that tumbles in from

the high windows, printing the shapes of the city onto the walls inside,

a shadow play representation of the world, at large. The house calmly

responds in an unobtrusive dialogue of inner and outer spaces, in which

each part politely waits for an answer.
