Surface complexity, layered depth, and rich materiality provide an alternative to blankness or monolithic; here ornamental agency claims the space itself, every single wall, floor and ceiling. Spatial ornamentation fosters intimate, rather than indifferent, engagement with the home through controlled articulation, drawing one into the visual sensuousness of its unfolding depth.
House in a Field is a series of insertions as vertically staggered living spaces, catalyzed by visual richness, prompting the inhabitant to intimately move amongst the visceral immediacy of spatial ornament. The tactile personality of form, its articulated surface, combats the cold uniformity of standardization.
