GDL08: The House That Kevin Built - Scaff’s down

by Suw on June 5, 2008

By the end of Friday, the seventh day, the Kevin’s house was starting to look complete. The roof was waterproof and complete with skylights. Windows were in and glazed, and the cladding applied to the sides of the house.

The cladding panels for the upper half of the house were made on site by a computerised flatbed router. I suspect that they could be a fabulous habitat for bees, and possibly house martens too, as they provide a nice sheltered space under the slats for nest-building. I’m not sure that was the intention though…

How many camera folk does it take to do a practice run of a piece to camera? Six, it would seem. I love the camera on the enormous boom - that’s how they get those fabulous, swoopy shots.

By the end of the day, the scaffolding was down and the house was revealed in all it’s glory.

And from certain angles, you can start to get a feel for how this would look if it were in a residential setting, instead of on a patch of grass in between a massive exhibition hall and a hotel.
