Kirk Cranston's apartment Apt. 150, Santa Barbara

At the end of 1985, we get acquainted with the apartment of a character who is going to mark the show for his mean intentions : Kirk Cranston. The business lawyer lives in a very modern two-room apartment within a building of the city center.

Sand-colored color walls, beige carpet, vast and perfectly tidied up main room : everything is made to give to the place a neutral, comfortable aspect but without soul. Behind a small separation constituted by two beams framing a sofa, we enter the lounge. A second sofa, blue too, faces the first one. Its frame gives the impression that it is inlayed in the ground, between some stairs and a small hidden recess. Around the lounge, a few elements to be indicated : a coffee table, a fireplace, some impersonal frames on the walls, and two French windows looking onto a green space.

On the left of the lounge, a hidden recess behind a new separation allows to reach a cuboïde where Kirk tidies up his clothes. It is there that Pearl Bradford will find the shoes that Kirk wore the evening of the murder attempt on C.C. Capwell. Around the flowery vases, a big cactus with tortuous forms in a jar calls back this feeling of danger around the character of Kirk.

Behind the second sofa, after some steps, we reach a door to the left of the two plate glass windows. This door constitutes in a way the "highlight" of the apartment : a huge reproduction of King of hearts. This choice is not insignificant : Kirk considers himself as the dominant male, the one who, by his little schemes, leads the game and has to gain the victories at all costs.

This door allows to go into the bedroom, second room of the apartment. The dark blue walls strengthen the feeling of coolness, whereas the decoration, always minimalist, reflects once again the lack of soul of his owner.

After his wedding with Eden, Kirk will come to live in the Capwell mansion with her, leaving his apartment behind him.
