Description
|
Ultra violent trompe l'oeil in every day living. Brainchild of Don Smith, 50 Aston Street is a typical suburban terrace house from the outside - but inside is a world of wonder. A near continuous mural decorates the interior, depicting of a magical land of forests, fairies, castles, knights and dragons. The house is tactical and quite indestructible - the red room is made entirely of soft furnishings, the loft features a waterbed and giant bean bags for maximum comfort when viewing movies on the giant wall sized screen. The UV mural even extends into the garden, which features various pixie folk cavorting by a lake and a Hansel & Gretel style house of sweets (which is actually a sauna) as well as a social hot tub. The house can be viewed during the annual Art Weeks festival in May each year, or check out www.50astonstreet.com and arrange your own time to visit.
