Speculative & Narrative Design
Deviant Anatomy is a speculative project that challenges the conformity of suburban domesticity by taking the tropes of the suburban landscape and inverting them. Through the unconventional pairing of architectural and programmatic elements, the project explores how spatial design can act as a prop to cultivate new social behaviors.
Set within an existing suburban development, the intervention disrupts conventional patterns by reconfiguring familiar programs, spaces, and elements into unexpected juxtapositions. This reassembly creates an uncanny experience, blurring the boundaries between voyeurism and exhibitionism. By shifting programmatic norms, the design introduces a new network of interactions, encouraging aberrant behavior as a counterpoint to the relentless monotony of suburbia. In this landscape of uniformity, Deviant Anatomy reimagines domestic space as a site of subversion, inviting alternative ways of living and engaging with the built environment.
