Tucked

Faith starts living in Jackie’s apartment because Faith has no place to stay. Within the club where they perform, there is a dressing room which serves as a key location in the movie because many important scenes take place there. The dressing room is a very intimate space and acts as an interspace between the performers private lives and the safe space of the community and symbolises the process of transition of the characters.

In the project, the closet serves as a symbolic element which represents the dressing room. It functions as an interstitial space between the private rooms of the inhabitant’s private bedroom and the communal kitchen and living space in the middle. Just like the dressing room in the movie, the closet stands for transition and acts as a connection between the two different living spaces. The closet is a space-creating element that itself becomes a space. The layer of the closet also acts as a kind of filter. Through the materialization, it is already possible to guess how much is going on in the common area. The light and the outlines from the things behind the doors are visible and you also can hear what is happening behind.

The wardrobe contains elements that are accessible from the private room and such that are accessible from the communal area. The communal area in the middle contains two smaller kitchen and function on one side as a performing space for everyday life activities like cooking and eating but on the other side the middle part functions as one single large dressing room to which all wardrobes can be opened.

The ground floor allows the residents and the neighborhood to interact with each other and to connect the building to the Viererfeld. Like the dressing room from the film and the wardrobe layer on the upper floors, it forms the interspace between the neighborhood and the building.
