Horror media explores the alterity of those unconventional spaces that inhabit the ordinary house. How can we redesign closets, attics, and spaces between walls to create new types of living conditions that allow us to embrace those moments of the house we rarely visit? This project proposes new ways of exploiting these elements of the ordinary house structure that we are morbidly intrigued by, suggesting that we should consider the potential of these moments through “mutations” derived from the ordinary catalogue home.
The house is full of fundamental spaces that surround and take up a large majority of the building. Human inhabitants occasionally visit these moments when making repairs or storing their belongings, but we never get to truly “live” there. By breaking down the catalogue homes and further taking a look at the unconventional nooks and crannies where horror loves to play, we can architecturally modify and reveal hidden relationships.
