Talk about a geek’s dream come to life! I recently came across a story on sciencefiction.com about a Star Trek home inLeicester, UK. Tony Alleyne, the owner, turned the interior of his flat into a replica of a Star Trek spaceship!
The transformation took more than 10 years, and it included hand-crafted furniture, reworked walls, a command console, a transporter room, voice-activated lighting system and more. The level of detail is absolutely incredible… Alleyne really outdid himself.
Sadly, the apartment isn’t going to last much longer. Due to recent divorce filings, Alleyne is being forced to move and since the work is embedded into the home, it will all need to be destroyed. The cost to rebuild the Starship home? Alleyne estimates about $150K.
Now, Alleyne is offering his services to other Trekkies around the world. You can see his work at 24thcid.com, and even contact him to start the interior design of your Star Trek dream home.
After seeing this, I wonder what a Star Wars home would look like!
What’s your ideal geek dream house?

All that time. All that money. You’d think he try to work it out for the sake of the house. Guess the force field shields woere down and Klingon broke through.

Interesting, such creativity! Ah, life interupting fantasy… I would’ve liked to see that flat…and maybe sell it “as is”.
