Bethany — the full set in performance, kitchen with the green monopoly houses

About the Design

A transforming set that shifts between a suburban kitchen and a Saturn car dealership — two worlds the play moves between. Includes a monopoly-house sculptural element and a developed materials and paint package.

Process & Documentation

This page pairs the rendering with the working drawings behind it — ground plans, elevations, sections and construction details — so the full arc from concept to build is visible.
