The Room, 1945

The room has not only the items that are physically there, but the things that were there and events that happened ( the red lines). That's what makes a house home.

Cliff House, 2007

This is an old house on the cliff overlooking small sea inlet.The house is so old, it seems like a part of landscape. It immerses into the environment. The house is full of see. You can see the water almost from any point inside the house. Even the theme of the interior decor is maritime. Despite that the structure is almost dissolved, it protects you and what you call home - the house, the cliff and the lagoon (the doubled lines running along the top and the right edges).

The Brick House

It could look dull. But in the openings and cracks there is so much action.The brick house looks heavy and solid, but actually it is full of dreams and hopes. It has a nice fireplace, where everyone gathers when it's cold and snowy outside.

Return

This is your return home, where you grew up.Warm colors. Fireplace. Everything is familiar. It looks like a box with plasticine or a quill blanket your grandma used to make.Black rectangles are some embarrassing memories, probably from the high school.But it does not spoil your cozy nostalgia. You feel nice and warm, because you know that it is temporary, a long weekend or a vacation. At the end you will go back to more interesting stuff, to the unknown(the cloudy rectangle in the upper right corner).
