“But those ended up being too restrictive because you’d have to have a block of tiles in the right size and position for it to work as hydraulic lifts,” said Gooding. This required many iterations with banisters coming down or coming up in blocks with the tiles from the courtyard. The greatest challenge was constructing the courtyard staircase with moving pieces as part of a platform and hydraulic-like system.

We had to create a lot of multi-purpose areas where tiles, floorboards, and windows were the chief ways of how the house could manipulate things.” None of this is literally possible so we wanted to see what we can get away with. “So there were many tests of staircases created on screen and even walls being extended,” Gooding said, “and at one point the courtyard would get bigger to accommodate a party. That’s where the magic came in, with moving and manipulating staircases, doors, windows, and shutters. The trick, though, was deciding on the interior design. Some of them are weird things like animal blood, which has been replaced by cement.” “It’s not like adobe, where you make a multi-purpose, standardized brick size,” Gooding continued. You set up these large molds and you pass a big piece of a wall in place by packing earth taken from the construction site, usually mixed with different stabilizers that they used. The art department landed on the ancient construction method called “tapia pisada” (rammed earth): a technique for building walls using raw materials of earth, chalk, lime, and gravel. We took a lot of the colorful and complex window and door inspiration from Salento, and the color palette came from Guatapé and Cartagena, which have colorful buildings. “That provided a distinctive construction method. “And one of the towns the directors visited was Barichara ,” he added.
