He hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni kona, he Aga puka ʻewalu, he kaupaku ʻili, he maka me nā ʻāpana gula, he kapuahi hāmama, a me nā pale TV haʻihaʻi ma nā paia. Kipa aku kā mākou poʻe kākau i ke kanaka nunui ʻālohilohi ma nā kahakai nani o Lake Awe.
He ahiahi lā ia ma nā kapa nani o Loch Awe, ma ka hohonu o nā Scottish Highlands, a ua ʻālohilohi kekahi mea ma hope o nā lāʻau. Ma ke alanui lepo wili, ma mua o nā ʻeka o nā paina momona, ua hiki mākou i kahi ākea kahi i piʻi aʻe ai nā puʻu hina hina i kālai ʻia mai ka ʻāina e like me nā puʻu pōhaku, e ʻālohilohi ana i ka mālamalama me ko lākou mau ʻaoʻao ʻinoʻino, me he mea lā i kālai ʻia mai kahi mineral kristal.
"Ua uhi ʻia i nā pale TV haki," wahi a Merrikel, ke kālai hale o kekahi o nā hale aliʻi ʻokoʻa i kūkulu ʻia ma Argyll mai ka makahiki 1600. "Ua noʻonoʻo mākou e hoʻohana i nā ʻāpana o ka papa pōhaku ʻōmaʻomaʻo e hoʻohālike i ka hale me he kanaka kuaʻāina lā i loko o ka tweed e kū ana ma luna o kahi puʻu. Akā a laila ua ʻike mākou i ka nui o ka inaina o kā mākou mea kūʻai aku i ka TV, no laila ua kūpono loa kēia mea iā ia."
Mai kahi mamao aku, ua like ia me kahi ʻiliʻili, a i ʻole ʻo Harlem, e like me kā lākou e kapa nei ma ʻaneʻi. Akā i kou hoʻokokoke ʻana aku i kēia mea hina monolithic, ua uhi ʻia kona mau paia i nā poloka aniani mānoanoa i hana hou ʻia mai nā pale paipu kukuna cathode kahiko. Me he mea lā ua eli ʻia mai kahi papa honua e-waste e hiki mai ana, kahi waihona makamae mai ka wā Anthropocene.
ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kikoʻī kupanaha he nui o ka hale 650-mika kuea, i hoʻolālā ʻia e like me ka moʻolelo pilikino o nā mea kūʻai aku ʻo David lāua ʻo Margaret, nāna e mālama i kahi ʻohana o ʻeono mau keiki a me ʻeono mau moʻopuna. "Me he mea lā he mea hoʻohiwahiwa ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hale e like me kēia nui," wahi a ke kākāʻōlelo kālā ʻo David, nāna i hōʻike mai iaʻu i ʻehiku mau lumi moe en-suite, ʻo kekahi o ia mau mea i hoʻolālā ʻia he lumi moe no nā moʻopuna me ʻewalu mau moe bunk. "Akā hoʻopiha mau mākou ia mea."
E like me ka hapa nui o nā hale kākela, ua lōʻihi ka manawa e kūkulu ai. ʻO ke kāne a me ka wahine, ka mea i noho ma Quarier's Village kokoke iā Glasgow no nā makahiki he nui, ua kūʻai lāua i ka ʻāina he 40 ha (100 ʻeka) i ka makahiki 2007 no £250,000 ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana iā ia ma kahi pākuʻi waiwai ma kahi nūpepa kūloko. ʻO kēia ka ʻāina mua o ke Komisina Ulu Lāʻau me ka ʻae ʻia e kūkulu i hale liʻiliʻi. "Ua hele mai lākou iaʻu me ke kiʻi o kahi hale aliʻi hanohano," wahi a Kerr. "Makemake lākou i hale he 12,000 kapuaʻi kuea me kahi papahele pāʻina nui a me kahi lumi no kahi lāʻau Kalikimaka he 18 kapuaʻi. Pono ia e like me ke ʻano."
ʻAʻole ʻo Denizen Works, ka hale hana a Kerr, kahi mua āu e ʻimi ai no ka hale aliʻi o ka baron hou. Akā ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia e ʻelua mau hoaaloha, ma muli o kahi hale hou āna i hoʻolālā ai no kona mau mākua ma ka mokupuni ʻo Tire ma Hebrides. Ua lanakila kahi moʻo o nā lumi vaulted i kūkulu ʻia ma luna o nā wahi neoneo o kahi mahiʻai i ka makana Grand Designs Home of the Year i ka makahiki 2014. "Ua hoʻomaka mākou ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ka mōʻaukala o ke kuhikuhipuʻuone ʻo Scottish," wahi a Kerr, "mai nā brooches Iron Age [nā hale pōʻai pōhaku maloʻo] a me nā hale kiaʻi pale a hiki iā Baron Pyle lāua ʻo Charles Rennie Mackintosh. ʻEwalu mau makahiki ma hope mai ua loaʻa iā lākou ka hale asymmetrical loa, hapalua ka nui, ʻaʻohe hale lua."
He hōʻea koke ia, akā hōʻike ka hale i kahi ʻuhane mauna paʻakikī e like me ka wahi. Kū ia ma luna o kahi loko me kahi kūlana pale paʻa, e like me kahi pā kaua paʻa, me he mea lā ua mākaukau e pale aku i kahi ʻohana powa. Mai ke komohana mai, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke kani o ka hale kiaʻi, ma ke ʻano o kahi hale kiaʻi ikaika he 10 mika (kūʻē i ka noʻonoʻo maʻamau, i hoʻonani ʻia me kahi hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni), a ʻoi aku ka nui ma nā ʻoki puka makani a me nā chamfers hohonu. Nui nā kiʻi hoʻohālike o ka hale aliʻi ma nā paia.
ʻO ka ʻāpana o loko o ka ʻoki ʻia, i ʻoki pono ʻia me ka scalpel, ua hōʻike ʻia e nā ʻāpana aniani liʻiliʻi, me he mea lā e hōʻike ana i ka mea palupalu o loko. ʻOiai ua kūkulu ʻia mai kahi ʻōpuʻu lāʻau i hana mua ʻia a laila ua wahī ʻia i loko o nā poloka cinder, ua wehewehe ʻo Kerr i ke ʻano he "kālai ʻia mai kahi poloka paʻa", e kuhikuhi ana i ka mea pena kiʻi Basque ʻo Eduardo Chillida, nona nā kiʻi kinikini cubic, he mau ʻāpana i kālai ʻia, i hāʻawi i ka hoʻoikaika. ʻIke ʻia mai ka hema, he hale haʻahaʻa ka hale i hoʻonohonoho ʻia i loko o ka ʻāina, me nā lumi moe e pili ana i ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau, kahi i loaʻa ai nā moena ʻohe a i ʻole nā ​​​​loko liʻiliʻi e kānana i ka wai hoʻoneoneo mai nā pahu septic.
Ua hoʻonoho akamai ʻia ka hale a puni iā ​​​​ia me ka aneane ʻike ʻole ʻia, akā ua pūʻiwa mau kekahi. I ka wā i paʻi mua ʻia ai kāna kiʻi ma ka pāpāho kūloko, ʻaʻole i kāohi ka poʻe heluhelu. "Me he mea lā he naʻaupō. Huikau a clumsy," i kākau ai kekahi o lākou. "Ua like ia me ka Atlantic Wall i ka makahiki 1944," wahi a kekahi. "Makemake au i ka hoʻolālā hale hou," i kākau ai kekahi o lākou ma kahi hui Facebook kūloko, "akā ua like ia me kahi mea a kaʻu keiki kāne i hana ai ma Minecraft."
ʻAʻole kūpaʻa ʻo Cole. "Ua hoʻāla ia i kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa olakino, he mea maikaʻi ia," wahi āna, me ka hoʻohui ʻana ua hoʻoulu mua ka hale o Tyree i kahi pane like. Ua ʻae ʻo David: "ʻAʻole mākou i hoʻolālā ia mea e hoʻohiwahiwa i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. ʻO kēia ka mea a mākou i makemake ai."
ʻO ko lākou ʻono he mea kū hoʻokahi ia, e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia ma loko. Ma waho aʻe o ko lākou inaina i ke kīwī, ua hoʻowahāwahā pū ka wahine i ka lumi kuke i lako pono ʻia. Ma ka lumi kuke nui, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe koe wale nō kahi Aga nui ʻewalu puka i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e kūʻē i nā paia kila kila i wili ʻia, kahi countertop, a me kahi keʻena meaʻai i uhi ʻia i ke kālā. ʻO nā mea hana - kahi poho holoi, ka mea holoi kīʻaha, ka papa ʻaoʻao - ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o kahi lumi kuke liʻiliʻi ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, a aia kahi pahu hau me ka pahu hau i loko o ka lumi hana ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka hale. Ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, he mea pono ka waiū no ke kīʻaha kope no ka helu ʻana i nā ʻanuʻu.
Aia ma waenakonu o ka hale kahi hale nui ma waenakonu kokoke i ʻeono mika ke kiʻekiʻe. He wahi keaka kēia nona nā paia i piha i nā puka makani ʻano ʻē e hāʻawi ana i nā hiʻohiʻona mai ka paepae ma luna, me kahi kiʻi liʻiliʻi e like me ka nui o ke keiki. "Makemake nā keiki e holo," wahi a David, me ka hoʻohui ʻana he ʻano hele pōʻai nā alapiʻi ʻelua o ka hale.
I ka pōkole, ʻo ke kumu nui o ka nui o ka lumi, ʻo ia ke hoʻokipa i ka lāʻau Kalikimaka nui i ʻoki ʻia mai ka nahele i kēlā me kēia makahiki a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o kahi funnel ma ka papahele (e uhi koke ʻia e kahi uhi lua keleawe hoʻonaninani). ʻO nā puka poepoe like i ke kaupaku, i uhi ʻia me ka lau gula, e hoʻolei i ka mālamalama mahana i loko o ka lumi nui, ʻoiai ua uhi ʻia nā paia i nā plasters lepo i hui pū ʻia me nā hua mika gula no kahi ʻālohilohi malū.
Aia pū kekahi mau ʻāpana aniani liʻiliʻi i loko o nā papahele sima i wili ʻia, ʻoiai i nā lā ua, e lawe mai i ka ʻālohilohi kristal o nā paia o waho i loko. He hoʻomaka mua maikaʻi loa ia i ka lumi ʻālohilohi loa i hoʻoponopono hou ʻia: kahi hoʻāno whiskey, kahi pā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i uhi piha ʻia i ke keleawe i hoʻomālamalama ʻia. "ʻO Rosebank kaʻu punahele," wahi a David, e pili ana i ka hale hana waina malt hoʻokahi haʻahaʻa i pani ʻia i ka makahiki 1993 (ʻoiai e wehe hou ʻia i ka makahiki aʻe). "ʻO ka mea hoihoi iaʻu, no kēlā me kēia ʻōmole aʻu e inu ai, hoʻokahi ʻōmole emi iho ma ka honua."
Hoʻonui ʻia ka ʻono o ke kāne a me ka wahine i nā lako hale. Ua hoʻolālā kūikawā ʻia kekahi o kēia mau lumi ma muli o nā hana noʻeau i kauoha ʻia e ka Southern Guild, kahi hale hōʻikeʻike hoʻolālā liʻiliʻi ma Cape Town, ʻApelika Hema. No ka laʻana, pono e hoʻopili ʻia ka lumi ʻaina kiʻekiʻe me kahi papa kila ʻeleʻele ʻehā mika e nānā ana i ka loko. Ua hoʻomālamalama ʻia e kahi chandelier ʻeleʻele a hina nani me nā ʻūlū lōʻihi e hiki ke neʻe ʻia, e hoʻomanaʻo ana i nā pahi kaua a i ʻole nā ​​pepeiaohao i keʻa ʻia, hiki ke loaʻa ma nā hale o kahi hale aliʻi hanohano.
Pēlā nō, ua hoʻolālā ʻia ka lumi hoʻokipa a puni kahi sofa ʻili nui ʻano L e kū pono ana i kahi kapuahi nui ākea, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kapuahi ʻehā o ka hale. Hiki ke loaʻa kekahi kapuahi ma waho, e hana ana i kahi kihi ʻoluʻolu ma ka pā hale papahele honua, i uhi ʻia i ka malu i hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomehana me ka nānā ʻana i ke aniau "maloʻo" mai ka loko mai.
Ke hoʻomau nei nā lumi ʻauʻau i ke kumumanaʻo keleawe i wili ʻia, me kekahi me nā ʻauʻau ʻelua e pili ana kekahi i kekahi - aloha akā makemake nui ʻia e nā moʻopuna e makemake e pāʻani ma ka nānā ʻana i ko lākou ʻano ma luna o ke kaupaku keleawe aniani. Aia kekahi ʻano pilikino ponoʻī ma nā kihi noho liʻiliʻi ma loko o ka hale, i uhi ʻia i ka ʻili poni mai ka hale hana ʻili ʻo Muirhead (mea hoʻolako ʻili i ka Hale o nā Haku a me Concord).
Ua piʻi aʻe ka ʻili a hiki i ke kaupaku o ka hale waihona puke, kahi i loaʻa ai nā puke me ka puke a Donald Trump ʻo How to Get Rich a me ka puke a Winnie the Pooh ʻo Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, i kapa ʻia ma muli o ka waiwai. Akā, ʻaʻole like nā mea a pau me ka mea i ʻike ʻia. I ke kaomi ʻana i ke kua o ka puke, i kahi manawa i manaʻo ʻole ʻia o ka hana hoʻohenehene a Scooby-Doo, ua huli aʻe ka waihona puke holoʻokoʻa, e hōʻike ana i kahi keʻena i hūnā ʻia ma hope.
Ma kekahi ʻano, hōʻuluʻulu kēia i ka papahana holoʻokoʻa: he ʻano hoʻohālikelike koʻikoʻi ka hale o ka mea kūʻai aku, e hoʻohālike ana i ke kaumaha o nā kiʻekiʻe ma waho a hūnā i ka leʻaleʻa hoʻohenehene, ka palaho a me ka hana kolohe i loko. E hoʻāʻo e nalowale ma ke ala e hele ai i ka pahu hau.
