Great article and front cover for the Rennie Art Gallery in this month's Canadian Architect, with a lovely paragraph on the Roof Garden on the last page.

Migration of Mel and Judith - Europe & Luxor

Beautifully crafted Architecture as narrative. More fantastic, fantastical work from Tom Hillier. Love this. World in a Lampshade.

'Becoming bored with Europe, Mel & Judith eventually decide to settle down to a new life inLuxor, Egypt. They now live on a small, uninhabited island situated on the River Nile, where in their weird and wonderful ‘Do-It-Yourself’English manor Mel brews beer in his bathtub-brewery whilst Judith bakes rose-bread in the bread-garden. Their island comes alive during the holiday season creating an English retreat in the middle of Luxor, a retreat that lures in English tourists with the opportunity to besurrounded by the sights, sounds and smells of home. The smell ofroses and freshly baked bread drift through the air whilst the temptation to drink beer (whichis illegal inLuxor) is impossible to resist. So if you are ever in Luxor and miss the familiarity of home, take a rowing boat over to Mel and Judith’s island for a little piece of England.'

weekend preoccupations

Current preoccupations: Peter Cook (the cookie monster) and Colin Fournier's Kunsthaus, Graz, a looming, menacing presence with a lo-tek programable skin. The Japan only release from the brilliant FYI design (straight out of Pemberton, BC) of the next level AK 457 packable down insulator and the Casio G-Shock green collection 2300 solar charged watch from the good folk at Livestock. Have a wicked weekend everyone. Happy Halloween.
