exhibition soundtrack design 1999
Nigel Coates won a competition to produce a new type of modern
prefabricated living space
which was exhibited at the Daily Mail Ideal Home Exhibition at Olympia, London
in 1998.
I did the sound design for the house by
adding the
sounds of the invisible inhabitants to all the rooms.
Nigel Coates's oyster house takes the idea of loft living that
is already establishing itself in
the urban apartment market and applies it to a house. In the way that lofts
offer a space for
you to use your own way, this house reflects the changes in how people live
together and
the real life extensions of the family group to incorporate work, friends and
relations".
The show drew crowds in excess of 500,000 with the
Oyster House being one of the main attractions.
