Play Haus features the work of 21 emerging and established artists whose practices themselves center on play or sustainability, photographed in-situ in one of Rude Haus’ residential projects, Clover House. Their work is crafted from remnants, centered on reuse or saturated with color; their pieces bring texture, memory, and form into conversation. Together, these pieces and this home create a domestic landscape that feels vibrant and slightly unruly. It’s an environment shaped by touch not perfection.
The project was conceived as an immersive, hands-on act of making, where even some creative direction emerged directly through material exploration. Rather than impose a borrowed architectural language, the designers chose to build one from the inside out. With a limited budget and complete creative trust, they set out to construct a personality reflective of their clients using color, craft, and custom fabrication as primary tools.
