In Pittsburgh, the Troy Hill Art Houses contain unique art installations within ordinary homes. Each house offers an immersive experience, such as a 1960s living room for Christmas and an attic with natural history specimens, a Cold War communication hub alongside a seismic lab, a functioning lighthouse in a previously burned structure, and a psychedelic living space with hidden tunnels. The project was inspired by Japanese site-specific art installations on Naoshima, emphasizing the need for permanent yet evolving creative expressions by the artists.
In one art installation, visitors find a perfectly preserved 1960s living room ready for Christmas, alongside an attic filled with extensive natural history specimens.
Another house features a Cold War radio communication hub combined with a seismic laboratory, integrating both historical and scientific themes into the art.
The house, once burned, hides a fully functioning lighthouse accessible for visitors to experience the ambiance of a caretaker watching the waves across seasons.
One psychedelic living room is adorned entirely in album covers and vinyl records, offering visitors hidden tunnels and secret passageways that can be explored.
