‘More than a movie, more of a movement’ says Mary McGuckian about the way in which the many worlds of Eileen Gray contribute to this project.
Indeed, The Price of Desire exists as just one part of the #EileenGrayProject, an ambitious and multi-faceted celebration of Gray’s life and work. Additional elements of the project are detailed below.

e1027: a virtual experience
E1027 is a supernatural love story, told as a first person video game. With a focus on exploration, the player will uncover the mystery of the villa by the sea; of what dark events have taken place inside this unique house over the decades and what message the spirit that remains in the house is resolute to communicate.
The game explores the universal human emotions of greed, jealousy, and love that connect us all. Fragments of story are uncovered when exploring the various rooms, as the house shifts between three distinct periods.
An interactive non-fiction game for PC and iPad that pushes the emotional boundaries of narrative experience with the vivid tale of Eileen Gray’s pioneering architectural work, e1027.
