Open House
Measured, furnished, handed over.
The hall becomes an apartment you designed together. Floor plans taped on the ground, a room per group, material swatches on every wall, and the keys handed over at the end.
01
The concept
Four years of furnishing rooms you'll never live in. Hand over this one.
Open House runs the day as the handover of a flat the class designed. Masking-tape walls mark out a living room, a studio, a kitchen and a balcony on the floor; each group dresses one with borrowed furniture, printed swatches and a lamp. Guests walk through with a floor plan, and at the end the class hands a real set of keys to the department.
It's for interior design students who notice the skirting before the people. The palette is walnut brown, plaster white and a single brass-tone key.
02
Identity
A floor plan and a material code.
A room-tag lockup — room, area, finish, lighting — in Arabic and English, with the department code on the plan's title block. Supplied editable.
A room tag per group and a four-page guide to the one rule: the key tone marks keys and handover, nothing else.

Photography
Twelve shots, in order, like a listing.
Shoot it like a property listing: the empty taped floor, each dressed room from its doorway, details of the swatches, the key handed over.
A warm grade with straight verticals — tilt the phone level and it looks like a magazine spread.

Photo pieces
The things people photograph
Eight pieces come in every realm, drawn in that realm's own colours. Each one is a print file at its real size with a how-to page — send it to a print shop or make it at home. Your department code and year change on all of them at once in Studio.
