Sala House: Hand-painted children’s bedroom alcoves
1983The painting of the children's room with two bed alcoves, involved both Christopher Alexander and Andre Sala; it started with discussions about color between the two and continued with testing bits of cardboard painted and pinned up in the walls. The unexpected result was a darkish red, almost over-saturated darkening red with qualities of pink. Then, for fine-tuning, a purple with a touch of turquoise in it, connected with the red, was added when small diamond flowers were painted over the red. The paint used was varnished gouache, applied on wood surfaces prepared with gesso.
