I saw this on the side of the road for sale… in Moss Landing, CA. It is the wheelhouse from an old fishing boat. Now it is haunting me… it wants me to buy it and make it into something fun. I could stick it into the roof of something perhaps… or build it into a shed in an ocean of long grass…

This is a napkin drawing idea I have for a steep “tv dinner tray” type hillside home… a simple white modernist box on powdercoated orange steel stilts… with huge powdercoated steel webbed feet on the bottom of each stilt, orange painted deck out front and two round blue glass windows. It could be called birdHaus, duckhaus or maybe quackMod. I have to build this someday… just to make people smile. I call this style “storybook modern”.
Don’t worry… I’m not actually gonna build it…
