Change of Plan!

This project needs to be something that will interest people to come and engage with and relate to and be interested in. Therefore, it's function and purpose needs to change. The new plan is to go back to the original idea od making it a furniture shop. Visitors who live in terraced houses will be interested in visiting a shop that is in a form of what looks like their house. The name 'ComeHome' is suiting to it as people go into what looks like 'their home' to buy the furniture for it. The focus will be on keeping the facade as that is the face behind which memories are built. The interior is always changing. Every person that lives or affects the interior changes it in some way. Every piece of furniture that is brought into the house changes the interior. This furniture shop can represent this somehow - it can show the changing nature of the terraced house interior and the uniqueness of every person. Show change through the movement of the visitors - this could become the concept.

A House in Showa-cho by Shintaro Fujiwara

I then found this example of a staircase that is very similar in design and has some good persepctives of the staircase to truly understand how it divides and connects the space.

Central Staircase

I was thinking how it could be possible to open up the house to using the basement and attic and to connect the spaces. I worked on a little model to see how this could be done. I placed a staircase going through the centre of the house that illustrated how the space can be divided, opened up and connected.

White Interiors

As my project will be a museum, I was thinking of ways to show how it used to look, without objects and decorations and painting them white. Using them as the 'canvas' there would then be projections on them of images and videos of what life may have looked like back in the 19th and mid 20th century.

These are some white images that show well what I had in mind.
