PLAY HAUS SCENES
like a dollhouse, open, mutable and alive to change.
In Play Haus, play is a method not an aesthetic. It is the act of trying, rearranging, and living with what’s already there. Sustainability is no longer a set of rules, it is the play itself. Like a child returning again and again to a dollhouse filled with the same objects and imagining new worlds for them, we play within the limits and discover they are not limits at all. The pieces shift, the scenes evolve, and the home becomes a place of ongoing possibility.
A SMALL CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVE +
The exhibition wasn’t about a dramatic reveal, but a subtle rethinking of use. Rather than sweeping changes, we focused on rearranging what was already there—allowing pieces to move, rooms to borrow from one another, and the floor plan to quietly evolve. This isn’t before and after; it’s after and after.
Just reshaping the furniture in the living room can change the dynamic. The change altered how the space functions and feels, opening up the plan and creating more opportunities for layered, maximal expression across the home.
It's not before and after,
it's after and after again.
HIDE AND SEEK +
Our clients are movie lovers, but also love to entertain and they have an extensive art collection; so, the living room needed to be multi-functional. We built a shelving wall around their cherished vintage Stanley Prowler piece, which gave them options to sink into the sectional and enjoy a movie, or easily cover the TV when they have guests over to entertain–plus plenty of space to show off their collection.
DINNER OR DESSERT +
While creating the two scenes, we imagined distinct uses for the space to shift the mood. The dinner setting leans into color-blocking—punchy oranges, warm wood tones, and a subtle mod, mid-century edge.
The dessert scene softens and opens up. It pulls from the mural’s palette and sense of expression—layered textiles, a more feminine energy, and a loose interpretation of nature that echoes the wall itself.
a subtle shift, reflects new ideas.
