Onoff Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) On the back of @epsilonGreedy's crane thread. This is the house built by Wayne Scott, a rather clever chap I know in NZ. A prolific "ideas" man. He'll design a desk then a crane. Often accompanied by beautiful charcoal sketches. Steel feature "reeds" are Corten steel about 5 years old: Edited September 20, 2020 by Onoff 3
MikeSharp01 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Wow - he likes tricky detail challenges doesn't he - taking pipes out through the edges of glass and loads more.

He's a bit special alright. It's all about the form. He did some cool MDF / rolled aluminium chequerplate desks a few years ago.
markc Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Wow! i like his style (insert round of applause)
Mr Punter Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 For me it looks far too complicated and the aesthetic does not impress, especially not the exterior. The workmanship and execution are excellent but he has gone to a lot of trouble for no real purpose other than achieving something difficult.
Onoff Posted September 21, 2020 Author Posted September 21, 2020 Not my cup of tea tbh but it's pretty representative of his mind. Said he's only just fitting some of the corten steel reeds.
the_r_sole Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Looks well done, it's kinda strange to have that in the middle then two really simple rectangular boxes either side. Absolutely incredible view too! Amazing what some will come up with when you don't have the same restrictive planning departments trying to make everything "in keeping"
Cpd Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 Really don't like it...... looks like an abandoned construction site.... like he is building some fancy glass lookout and put his temporary work cabins to close, and then ran out if money And left the cabins and all the unfinished steelwork ..... sorry to be critical but this really is not my thing.

As I said above, not my cup of tea particularly but you have to admire the level of detail.
ash_scotland88 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 This inside reminds me of a stretch tend, and I quite like that. I totally appreciate the workmanship gone into it, but I think the exterior rood is overly fussy (a mess) and doesn't sit well the the flat exterior walls or landscape.
Onoff Posted September 22, 2020 Author Posted September 22, 2020 Wayne's response: it looks after itself reasonably well winter sun keeps it warm, including the floor fireplace for cold days opening doors for hot days W ?

Ferdinand Posted September 22, 2020 Posted September 22, 2020 What's the regulatory planning environment there? For me it isn't a response to the context. F

I know a lot of them buy "forests" as a retirement thing. They manage if as a family during holidays etc. When mature they fell it as their retirement income. They also sh!t in long holes in the ground... 1

They dig seabirds out of holes with pointy sticks. Looks like chicken on the plate and tastes like kippers. I'd kill for about 15 pints (my record) of Speights right now mind.
