‘Construction Lines’ is a short speculative documentary animation about the proposed interior of a London 'iceberg' home (a home where the sub-ground levels are larger than the house above). The project was initiated by David Graham, a Canadian billionaire, who is the owner of the original property in Knightsbridge, West London. In the end the project was not developed due to hundreds of objections from surrounding neighbours.
‘Construction Lines’ shows this iceberg home rendered as a 3D model, using the original architectural plans and the software ‘Sketchup’. The narrative of the film, the model of the home, and the scenes played out within it, are informed by the objections filed against the planning application by local neighbours, as well as online articles speculating about the lives and lifestyles of the super-rich.
