The creators were listening as the house spoke to them, to help tell them what the piece would become, they said. “We’re developing characters and material, trying to meet the space on its own terms,” Mr. Pearson said. “There’s something so self-contained and yet mysterious about all these houses.” A Southern Gothic vibe was emerging, he said… Mr. Morris, however, saw the house as a creature unto itself, its two chimneys the horns of a Minotaur or some other misunderstood monster.
