INSIDE THE PRIORS’ HOME

At Cinespace, another crew created the interior of Tris’s house, which was modified to serve as the interior of other Abnegation houses as well. Set decorator Anne Kuljian explains, “What we’ve tried to do with the Abnegation set is reduce living to basic, common needs and necessities. One room functions as the dining area, the living area, and a working area for the family. The only other areas in the house are the kitchen and the bedrooms. So pretty much you’re in this room 24-7 if you’re home. We tried to set it up so that different activities could take place on one giant table. Sometimes eating, sometimes working, sometimes just talking. The confined set reflects the way the Abnegation think. Everything is very tight, and they live as a family unit.”

The houses’ color scheme also reflects the Abnegation aesthetic, Kuljian continues. “We tried to keep the elements at their most raw, and the color tones at their simplest. So we have the cool grays and we have the warm beige of the ash wood that we used quite a lot in this set. The set has a certain warmth, but it definitely feels minimalistic.”

Even the floor of the house was emblematic of Abnegation’s dedication to simplicity and recycled materials. Producer Lucy Fisher was on the set one day. “And there was this band of construction people in the Prior house, all excited. I came over and they were all beaming, so I said, ‘What’s going on?’ They just said, ‘Look at the floor.’ And it was made up of a jigsaw puzzle of little pieces of wood, that supposedly would have been leftover pieces, and they perfectly fit. It was an exquisite floor, and it was so great because they were into the storytelling, too. They understood that the lock of Tris’s hair would be cut and fall to that floor.”
