Last week we visited this vast decaying chemical plant in Hungary. It’s currently being demolished from one end whilst we endeavour to spirit the wealth of industrial lighting it contains out of the other. Whatever your take on communism and the Soviet regime, an air of sadness hangs about places like this. Once a place of aspiration and community this factory has literally been walked out of, fixtures and fittings left more or less intact, leaving just a legion of feral cats and the likes of ourselves to wander it’s eerie spaces. A derelict nuclear bunker stands as an uncomfortable reminder of our recent history, complete with gas masks in wooden crates and nuclear/biological suits on hangers. An incredible haul of 200 No. communist tube lights has just arrived with us, more different lighting will follow.
A collaboration between Skye-based architects Rural Design and James Mac Queen Building Contractors also on Skye, The Field House is an R House concept, founded on traditional highland barns and designed to sit comfortably in the landscape.
Another communist behemoth is laid to rest…
