This paper looks at the state of the interior at the transition into the new millennium. In it, I explore the elision of public and private realms in the interior at advent of the 21 st century, surveying the interior spaces of the house, the apartment, the loft, the office, civic spaces, religious spaces, cultural spaces, retail spaces, restaurants, hotels, and therapeutic spaces, from the mid-1980s to the present. Within realm of architecture and design, the contemporary interior has remained largely unexamined as a legitimate index of culture. In the interior, this manifests itself in the revival of ornament, in evidence of craft and materiality, and in spatial complexities that have contributed to a new elasticity in typologies. It is also possible to detect, in the same tendency, a wholly other agenda. The introduction of domestic amenities into commercial spaces is also part of a wider attempt to a more acceptable face on the workings of capital. In this view, interior design dons the mask of entertainment. This instinct to loosen and move boundaries that is the hallmark of postmodernity is given literal expression through a variety of iterations. In the Alterio House (2003) in Sao Paolo, Isay Weinfeld puts the interior on stage by virtually eliminating one façade. There is enormous renewed interest in the potency of the brise soleil to animate the interior with patterns of light and connect the experience of the house to the cycle of the day, Though artists may be in the minority of loft owners today, their legacy is felt in the tendency of the loft to reflect the aesthetic of art movements of the 1970s in its interior style. This is born out equally in the minimalist stainless steel furnishings of Johnson Chou’s Yolles loft (2001) in Toronto and the art brut aesthetic of the Michaelides loft (2000) in London by Buschow Henley.
