This design looks at the secret lives of doors. It comes from the idea of the door function of absorbing sound and the idea of holding history. If only houses could speak, what a story they would have to tell.

Doors are used for privacy and they stops sounds transmitting from one room to the next, also they are about a change of state. These doors are curious; they listen to the sounds in the house and record randomly, when someone interacts with the door or if there is a sound near the door. They absorb the sound into the door holding a history of sounds.

Yet doors are also about people listening and eaves dropping when they are being curious or nosey.
