Devon and Ricken's Home

The home of Devon and Ricken Hale sits nestled on the slope of a wooded hill, approximately 15 minutes away from Mark Scout's house in Kier, PE.

The house is built in the Usonian style, an architectural school of thought advanced by Frank Lloyd Wright emphasizing an integration into the surrounding environment, as well as horizontal lines, natural materials such as brick and wood, and natural lighting.

The decor of the house is also in warm tones of browns and reds, a color scheme that echoes the show's palette dichotomy of cool greens and blues represent the world of the innie, and reds and oranges represent the world of the outie. Many portraits of Ricken hang on the walls. It is a warm and welcoming space.

The Dinner Party

In Good News About Hell, Devon and Ricken host Mark and several of Ricken's friends for a “dinnerless dinner party” at the house, where Mark's job on Lumon Industries' SVR'D floor is volunteered by Ricken as a topic of discussion, providing the viewer with insight into the public's perception of the severance procedure.

The house is also the location where the re-integrated Petey first approaches Mark. Following the no-food dinner party, Mark stays the night at the house. While getting a drink in middle of the night he spots Petey outside, staring at him from a distance before disappearing. The next morning, Mark tells Devon that he witnessed “a businessman in the yard last night.” Devon suggests that perhaps he was a drunk stumbling over from a bar down the hill.

The Book Reading

In What's For Dinner and The We We Are, Devon and Ricken host a book reading for Ricken's latest self-help book, The You You Are. Both Mark and Mrs. Selvig are present at the reading when Dylan G. activates the Overtime Contingency, remotely waking up Mark's innie.

Filming Location

The real-world filming location for Devon and Ricken's home is known as the Bier House (Usonia site 53), located in Usonia, NY (Google Maps). The house is an example of the Usonian style, designed by architect and landscape designer Kaneji Domoto, a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright. It was built between 1948 and 1956 for the family of Arthur and Gertrude Bier. Source
