escape

This list describes my ideal house in the woods, my ultimate goal. ‘Cabin’ doesn’t seem an appropriate name for it, since it needs to be big enough to house and entertain all my visitors.

  • My house will be built into a hill and just look like a grassy knoll from the North.
  • It will have a two story wall of glass facing South.
  • There will be a great room, for living, cooking and eating.
  • A little loft area will be tucked away, barely visible, and only accessible to children.
  • A geodesic green house will be attached and full of herbs and veggies.
  • It will be totally surrounded by trees, private enough to enjoy your morning coffee naked on the deck.
  • The shower will be outside.
  • There will be wifi access of course.
  • There will be room for all of you!

New Heights

When studying animation, one of our first projects was to do a few walk cycles. We were given a 3d model (in Maya, a 3d animation program) that looked like an artist dummy and told to create three personalities with just their walks. It it pretty amazing how much you can communicate with just a walk—age, self-confidence, sex, mood, purpose, etc.

This is a monies-no-object type of fantasy. Also the house would be energy-efficient, self-sustaining and all that jazz of course.

Lots of natural materials, sunlight and unpainted wood.
