A conceptual commentary on the original "gangstas" using light,sound, and high-tech treats.Combining icons from the show and mergingit with neon and the latest in audio technology, Thorpe's room is asanctuary of good and evil.
Rich with texture, fabrics, and objects of desire, this theatricalmodern day basilica features projections from the Assassins Creed II, avideo game set in Renaissance Italy. Keith Baltimore's space featureselaborate techniques including venetian plastering, an elaboraterenaissance-inspired archway, textured wallpaper, jewel tones, richvelvets and colorations, and a poison den to boot.
The dark passenger’s ultimate refuge: if Dexter could live openly,it would be here. From the books, to the furniture, to the use of newtechnology, this space serves as cocoon for the character’s alter-ego.Created by Michael C. Hall's own interior designer, Jeff Andrews, thisevocative home-office space of Dexter provides a contemplative area forplanning, scheming and committing evil deeds. The masculine space isheavily textured with leather flooring, animal skins, wallpaper thatresembles snakeskin and sinister touches throughout.
Altering the doorway with raised, dramatically altered platformcovered with black astroturf, visitors perception is challenged uponentering. At the end of the tunnel one encounters a monumental photothat has been wallpapered on the ceiling. A mirrored floor reflects acompromising view of mischief occurring in the bedroom, while lettersand clear acrylic furnishings convey a cryptic tone of Hank Moody'sliving area.
This color-filled extravaganza pays tribute to the program byimagining a Paradise Lost + Garden of Eden tribute redux. Customwallpaper known as Wallskins designed by Loecke and developed by HP,anchor the space along with overscaled floral accessories, textiles andobjet along with artwork and portraits hung salon style.
Using his real-life experience in designing a cancer center, Chungrelies on chroma-therapy techniques and interactive motion technologyfor this space. Designed to rejuvenate and recharge, the soothingbedroom features a movable chroma-therapy sculpture, interactive bookcase and a color center that alters the rooms interior color.
Inspired by her favorite show, Bohn draws from Nurse Jackie’s mosthilarious moments: a room of whimsy with surgical lights,hallucinations, and even a confessional. Lines on the floor alter thevisitors perspective, drawing them toward the bed, while the customizedlight fixture conjures images of surgical activities. A series ofx-rays line the walls and custom curtains made of latex surround thebed.
Children behave as adults and adults behave as children in thisedgy lounge, which showcases an interactive photo booth that willenable visitors to become one of their favorite characters. Mirroredcustom cabinetry and combo desk/bar serve as complex reminders of HankMoody's status--conflicted over his success as a writer, but feelingcompromised as a New York "artist" living in Los Angeles.
Inspired by an antiseptic chic color palette, this interior spacefeatures apothecary jars, hand stenciled wall coverings, and othersurprises.
Integrating space, technology, textures, and interior concepts,these rooms are defined by a series of “Big C’s”--Change, Clarity,Calm, Comedy, and Courage. The Clarity Lounge conveys a fairy taletheme, complete with giant rabbit sculpture, a living garden wall, a 3dtv showing butterflies and a bright pastel color palette. In contrast,the calming Contemplation Room provides a white environs to reflectwith a purple chair wrapped in gossamer.
This space draws visitors in with an interlocking exoskeletonstructure. One is drawn into Tara's multiple personalities with headphones and a monitor that tracks every move and mimics visitors path.The roof deck upstairs features oversized tires, colorful seating andlarge grouping of wildflower type plants, provided by Jungle Design.
Cutting-edge technology and innovative interiors are combined hereto envelop visitors and immerse them in Dexter’s world. Okshteyn tookinspiration from Georgia O'Keefe paintings and monster films such asAlien and crafted an intricate love seat that resembles both elements.A mirror stained with what appears to be blood is actually a speakeremitting sounds from the Dexter video game. The bath tantalizesvisitors with a video of a woman showering and using the toilet.
Using iconic emblems from each program, Bruce Mau Design projectedimages in large scale with a technique anamorphosis that allows viewersto decipher icons only from one angle--while from others, the itemcomes off as an abstraction.
