The design uses ‘paper’ as a medium, and it transforms from a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional space through cutting and folding. The abstract visual effect starkly contrasts with the urban scene where it is situated, intending to provide the audience with an experience beyond the ordinary. The IM Design team created spatial dimensions inspired by Le Corbusier’s late-life dwelling, Le Cabanon, measuring 3.66m x 3.66m x 2.26m, a critical case study in discussing the limits of habitable space. The implications of the ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ are repeatedly explored during the folding process. The space created by inward folding is a microcosm of an urban dwelling—doors, windows, tables, chairs, and beds constitute perhaps the most confined living spaces in the city.

Alisa and Kevin’s DIY conversion of a 1996 BlueBird school bus, named “Hygge,” beautifully embodies the Danish concept of coziness and contentment. The exterior of the bus is painted off-white and remains largely unchanged, save for some windows replaced with metal panels and the addition of solar panels on the roof. However, the interior transformation is where the magic happens. The couple has designed a bright and inviting living space with white cabinetry and wooden accents, following a “side-by-side” room layout that includes a charming seating area, a functional kitchen with a rolling pantry, a bathroom with a composting toilet and shower, and a cozy bedroom with ample storage.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.
