an apartment interior: EISENHOWER.

Renovation of 1930’s apartment, deconstructing the conventional spatial layout. Inspired by dazzle painting, the geometric wall patterns contradict or skew existing perspectives and plans. 

An old building is a palimpsest of alterations. This renovation avoids fixing the apartment in some new ideal or idealised state. The all-over patterning creates space for future, localised modifications.
