When you live in a shared house, your bedroom is the only space you have to truly make your own.
And in the San Francisco Bay Area – home to many of the most expensive zip codes in the US – most people cannot afford to live alone.
So, if you manage to earn enough to try and live here, you're likely going to need others to help you pay the full rent.
And so you have housemates.
Together you shape a home, merging possessions to outfit a common space and doing your best to make your bedroom feel like yours only.
Within those constraints, rooms become so much more than a place to sleep –
they can be a yoga studio, home office, kombucha brewing lab, personal library, or maybe, singular place of respite.
This ongoing project aims to explore these spaces and their creators.
