Tim is an architect, but an architect with an amazingly artistic flair. Once I had the chance to see models of his houses, I wanted to feature them somehow in a show at the Co-op. Functional yet beautiful, I think theses scale model houses will impress you as much as they impressed me.
Tim hails originally from

He writes that he “first became interested in trapezoidal forms in 1996, while trying to formulate a way to frame housing with less material.” He was looking for a way “to be not complicated,” but to use a form that was “strong, long lasting and less expensive.” He wanted “good quality affordable green housing, based on a frame you can prepare and assemble yourself which is recyclable and reusable.”
Three things that excite him most about the designs are: the non box like feel of the living space, the performance possibilities of the structure for energy and water issues, and the modular scalability possible from a small start.

Tim's work answers my dreams of beauty and practicality combining to please the eye while serving a true need. I urge you to come during the opening and meet the artist. You will be sure of an interesting conversation. If our world contained more examples of such balance of form, we would be most blessed.
