Nest has always loved to collaborate with artists and with the completion of the Lyons Residence we thought it would be great to invite Tai Snaith to insert installations of her choosing into some of the rooms of the house. The idea was to see if Tai’s installations would make us see the rooms in a different way, outside of the usual architectural lens. The ‘Animal House Project’ certainly changed the atmosphere of the house from austere architecture to something akin to a petting zoo.
