Who sits here, what are they doing, and for how long? A room changes with the person using it.
PEOPLE × HOME
06People × Home
The room belongs to a household. Its interruptions arrive one person at a time.
ONE HOME · THREE LIVES
A shared address changes by person.
- Alex
- Work
The desk stays visible from the place used to rest.
- Robin
- Rest
The shared bedroom also holds the day's unfinished tasks.
- Casey
- Study
The current project competes with every previous one.
FICTIONAL HOUSEHOLD · DIFFERENT ROOM USE
A shared address does not produce a shared experience.
The family route passes the desk. For ten minutes it is company. For eight hours it is an interruption.
Follow each resident through the same home. Where do their needs meet, and where do they compete?
The same home
Walls and doors remain in place. Work, sleep, study and privacy make different demands on them.
The position
Who sits here? For how long? What passes behind them? The answers locate the pressure.
The conflict
An active edge may suit conversation and interrupt sleep. A household contains both demands.
The boundary
A shared reading includes only what each person has agreed to share. Paying for the home does not grant access to another person’s private chart.
