A perfectly proportioned house designed to imitate the neat and clever folds in origami was given a paint treatment that enhances the architecture and gives it a sense of fun.
The paper house resembles a paper dart from the outside, and carefully folded origami on the interior.
The white walls are the perfect backdrop for the homeowner's collection of art and books.
The perforated screen on the triangular window allows filtered light in and casts a pattern on the white walls.
Due to the high pitch of the ceiling in the living space, careful maneuvring of a mobile scaffold allowed the G&K Decorating team access to all corners of the ceiling.

The handrail was finished in a simple natural wax coating.
Simplicity was the key in the interior. G & K Decorating painted all walls in a soothing white.
The Paper House was created to resemble folded paper and makes the most of a very compact site.
