This project catalogues an architectural zone that lies in the overlap between the ordinary and the incredible.

These treasure houses all contain powerful deviations from conventional design that come from an unschooled, personal and very direct process of creation. They are individual, functional, fanciful and sometimes even irrational but they stop short of being bizarre or inappropriate. The houses contain a logic and an ingenuity that is not only legitimate but an endorsement for alternative design processes in which no single gesture may be considered correct or incorrect.
