Collectively, these homes form a cabinet of curiosities, containing ornament to be rediscovered and rearranged. By designing at the 1:1, a direct preservation is enacted through a tactile personal connection. It questions how each could fit into the resident’s routine as opposed to remaining at eye’s reach. Within, each ornament is treated as a generative tool to produce a kit of parts, able to liberate any heritage type.
Without patronising the history, these altered homes teach us to profess to love, they show us how we too might carry valuable parts of the past into the restless future.
