“if you’re focused on being an architect, in your work i would love to see it reference the 17 year old version of what you thought of a house as well as what you think of it is now...” - virgil abloh

The project finds its site in Stoke Newington, London, UK with a unique site being situated with neighboring buildings on all sides next to a cemetery. The client purchased the site a decade ago and decided to have a full time home, accommodating a family structure while also including a space that celebrates the individuals past achievements.

The imagined client for the project is artist, architect, and fashion designer Virgil Abloh. Seeking a family home in 2020 and to be closer to his London based research firmx. The project explores Abloh’s ideologies and beliefs throughout his career as a spatial experience. The home is a built environment of human-made nostalgia through a curation of our achievements displayed in ways that the individual can experience their former selves

exploration on “blemishes” or “happenings that occur to a built environment. Spaces are built with intention, however they are ultimately experienced and changed by those who inhabit the spaces. Occurrences to the environment, for better or for worse, have the ability to transform a space beyond the initial design. The project seeks to document, then reinterpret and utilize these changes into a 30” x 60” repeat pattern.
