House to Home

After our presentation last Thursday on our two interior concepts, we are moving forward with one theme which combines both the “minimal” and “color pop” ideas. Professors Stuth and Matthews were constructive in their criticism and invaluable in our decision to move forward with one theme.

Professor David Matthews, an interior design professor in our college, will be a regular at our Thursday presentations offering insight and advice from another angle of design. Also new to our team is an interior design student Erin Bailey. These two will be strong resources as we get closer to making the interior of the New Norris House a true and welcoming home.

Claire, Ivy, Erin and I are going to begin to compose a narrative of living. We are thinking about the daily rituals of life and how we can begin to engage even the smallest act of placing your keys when you arrive in your home as a moment to be recognized. In addition to addressing ritual we are also moving back into original concepts of having the kitchen, living and outdoor space being a cohesive “tube” along the house and being more of a communal or public realm while the swing space, bedroom and loft are within the private realm of the home.

With another presentation coming up we look forward to working together and understanding the New Norris House as a place to call home.
