Ili ndi malo owonetsera mafilimu, Aga yokhala ndi zitseko zisanu ndi zitatu, denga lachikopa, diso lozungulira ngati golide, malo ophikira moto otseguka, ndi zowonetsera TV zosweka pamakoma. Olemba athu amachezera chimphona chowala chomwe chili m'mphepete mwa nyanja yokongola ya Nyanja ya Awe.
Unali madzulo okongola a m'mphepete mwa nyanja ya Loch Awe, m'mphepete mwa mapiri a Scottish Highlands, ndipo china chake chinawala kumbuyo kwa mitengo. M'mbali mwa msewu wokhotakhota wadothi, kudutsa maekala a mitengo ya paini yobiriwira, tinafika pamalo otseguka pomwe magulu a miyala yotuwa yodulidwa bwino anatuluka m'malo ngati miyala, akuwala m'mbali mwake mowala, ngati kuti anadulidwa ndi mchere winawake.
“Ili ndi ma TV osweka,” anatero Merrickel, katswiri womanga nyumba imodzi mwa nyumba zachilendo kwambiri zomangidwa ku Argyll kuyambira m’ma 1600. “Tinaganiza zogwiritsa ntchito mapepala obiriwira kuti nyumbayo iwoneke ngati munthu wakumidzi wovala tweed ataima paphiri. Koma kenako tinapeza momwe kasitomala wathu amadana ndi TV, kotero nkhaniyi inkaoneka yabwino kwa iye.”
Kuchokera patali, imaoneka ngati mwala wamtengo wapatali, kapena Harlem, monga momwe amautchulira pano. Koma pamene mukuyandikira chinthu chotuwa ichi, makoma ake ali ndi magalasi okhuthala omwe amabwezerezedwanso kuchokera ku zotchingira zakale za cathode ray tube. Zikuoneka kuti inakumbidwa kuchokera ku e-waste geologic layer yamtsogolo, yomwe inali ndalama yamtengo wapatali kuchokera ku nthawi ya Anthropocene.
Iyi ndi imodzi mwa zinthu zambiri zokongola za nyumba ya masikweya mita 650, yopangidwa ngati mbiri ya makasitomala David ndi Margaret, omwe amayendetsa banja la ana asanu ndi mmodzi ndi zidzukulu zisanu ndi chimodzi. "Zingaoneke ngati zapamwamba kukhala ndi nyumba ya kukula kotere," anatero katswiri wazachuma David, yemwe anandionetsa zipinda zogona zisanu ndi ziwiri, chimodzi mwa izo chomwe chinapangidwa ngati chipinda chogona cha zidzukulu chokhala ndi mabedi asanu ndi atatu. "Koma timadzaza nthawi zonse."
Monga nyumba zambiri zachifumu, zinatenga nthawi yayitali kuti amange. Awiriwa, omwe adakhala ku Quarier's Village pafupi ndi Glasgow kwa zaka zambiri, adagula malo okwana maekala 100 mu 2007 pamtengo wa £250,000 atawawona pa malo owonjezera m'nyuzipepala yakomweko. Malo awa kale anali a Forestry Commission ndi chilolezo chomanga nyumba. "Anabwera kwa ine ndi chithunzi cha nyumba yachifumu yabwino," adatero Kerr. "Ankafuna nyumba ya masikweya mita 12,000 yokhala ndi chipinda chachikulu chapansi pa phwando komanso malo oti mtengo wa Khirisimasi wa mamita 18 ukhale wofanana."
Malo ochitira ntchito a Kerr, Denizen Works, si malo oyamba kufunafuna nyumba yaikulu ya baron watsopano. Koma anzake awiri adamulimbikitsa, kutengera nyumba yamakono yomwe adapangira makolo ake pachilumba cha Tire ku Hebrides. Zipinda zingapo zokhala ndi denga lozungulira zomwe zidamangidwa pamabwinja a famu zidapambana mphoto ya Grand Designs Home of the Year mu 2014. "Tinayamba ndikulankhula za mbiri ya zomangamanga za ku Scotland," adatero Kerr, "kuyambira nyumba zozungulira za miyala youma ndi nsanja zodzitetezera mpaka Baron Pyle ndi Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Patatha zaka zisanu ndi zitatu adapeza nyumba yofanana kwambiri, theka la kukula kwake, yopanda chipinda chapansi."
Ndi kufika kwadzidzidzi, koma nyumbayo ikuwonetsa mzimu wolimba wa mapiri womwe mwanjira ina umamveka ngati malowo. Imayima pa nyanja yokhala ndi chitetezo cholimba, ngati linga lolimba, ngati yokonzeka kuthamangitsa gulu la achifwamba. Kuchokera kumadzulo, mutha kuwona kubwereza kwa nsanjayo, mu mawonekedwe a turret yolimba ya mamita 10 (yosiyana ndi nzeru wamba, yokhala ndi holo ya cinema), ndi zina zambiri m'magawo a zenera ndi ma chamfers akuya. Pali zifaniziro zambiri za nyumba yachifumu pamakoma.
Mbali yamkati ya chodulidwacho, yodulidwa bwino ndi scalpel, imaimiridwa ndi zidutswa zazing'ono zagalasi, ngati kuti ikuwonetsa chinthu chofewa chamkati. Ngakhale kuti idamangidwa kuchokera ku chimango chamatabwa chokonzedwa kale kenako nkukulungidwa ndi zidutswa za matabwa, Kerr akufotokoza mawonekedwewo ngati "opangidwa kuchokera ku chipika cholimba", ponena za wojambula wa ku Basque Eduardo Chillida, yemwe ziboliboli zake za miyala ya cubic, zomwe ndi zigawo zojambulidwa, zidapereka chilimbikitso. Poyang'ana kum'mwera, nyumbayi ndi nyumba yocheperako yomangidwa m'malo okongola, yokhala ndi zipinda zogona zoyandikana ndi mbali yakumanja, komwe kuli mabango kapena nyanja zazing'ono zosefera madzi otayira kuchokera ku matanki amadzi otayira madzi.
Nyumbayi ili pamalo abwino kwambiri momuzungulira mosazindikira, koma ena akadali odabwa. Pamene chithunzi chake chinayamba kufalitsidwa m'manyuzipepala am'deralo, owerenga sanazengereze. "Zikuoneka ngati chitsiru. Zosokoneza komanso zosamveka," analemba m'modzi mwa iwo. "Zonsezi zikuoneka ngati Khoma la Atlantic mu 1944," anatero wina. "Ndimakonda kwambiri zomangamanga zamakono," analemba m'modzi mwa iwo pa gulu la Facebook lakumaloko, "koma zikuwoneka ngati chinthu chomwe mwana wanga wamng'ono adapanga mu Minecraft."
Cole anali wolimba mtima. "Zinayambitsa mkangano wabwino, zomwe ndi zabwino," adatero, ndikuwonjezera kuti nyumba ya Tyree poyamba idayambitsa zomwezo. David akuvomereza kuti: "Sitinapange kuti tisangalatse anthu ena. Ichi ndi chomwe tinkafuna."
Kukoma kwawo ndi kwapadera, monga momwe kwasonyezedwera mkati. Kuwonjezera pa kudana kwawo ndi wailesi yakanema, awiriwa adanyozanso khitchini yokhala ndi zida zonse. Mu khitchini yayikulu, palibe china chilichonse kupatula seti yayikulu ya Aga yokhala ndi zitseko zisanu ndi zitatu yolumikizidwa ndi makoma opukutidwa achitsulo chosapanga dzimbiri, kauntala, ndi kabati ya chakudya yophimbidwa ndi siliva. Zinthu zogwirira ntchito - sinki, chotsukira mbale, bolodi la pambali - zili mu khitchini yaying'ono mbali imodzi, ndipo firiji yokhala ndi firiji ili yonse m'chipinda chothandizira mbali inayo ya nyumba. Osachepera, mkaka wa kapu ya khofi ndi wothandiza powerengera masitepe.
Pakati pa nyumbayi pali holo yaikulu yapakati yomwe ili pafupifupi mamita asanu ndi limodzi kutalika. Iyi ndi malo ochitira zisudzo omwe makoma ake ali ndi mawindo osawoneka bwino omwe amapereka mawonekedwe ochokera papulatifomu pamwambapa, kuphatikizapo chithunzi chaching'ono cha kukula kwa mwana. "Ana amakonda kuthamanga," adatero David, ndikuwonjezera kuti masitepe awiri a nyumbayo amapanga mtundu wa kuyenda kozungulira.
Mwachidule, chifukwa chachikulu chomwe chipindacho chili chachikulu ndichakuti chikhale ndi mtengo waukulu wa Khirisimasi womwe umadulidwa m'nkhalango chaka chilichonse ndikukhazikika mu funnel pansi (posachedwa udzaphimbidwa ndi chivundikiro chokongoletsera cha mkuwa). Mabowo ozungulira ofanana padenga, okhala ndi masamba agolide, amawunikira bwino m'chipinda chachikulu, pomwe makoma ali ndi ma plaster adothi osakanikirana ndi tinthu tagolide ta mica kuti aziwala pang'ono.
Pansi pa konkire wopukutidwa mulinso zidutswa zazing'ono zagalasi zomwe, ngakhale masiku amvula, zimapangitsa kuti makoma akunja aziwala bwino mkati. Ndi chiyambi chabwino kwambiri cha chipinda chokongola kwambiri chomwe sichinakonzedwenso: malo osungiramo mowa wa whiskey, bala lotsekedwa bwino lomwe lili ndi mkuwa wonyezimira. "Rosebank ndiye yomwe ndimakonda kwambiri," akutero David, ponena za fakitale yothira mowa ya lowland single malt yomwe idatsekedwa mu 1993 (ngakhale idzatsegulidwanso chaka chamawa). "Chomwe chimandisangalatsa ndichakuti pa botolo lililonse lomwe ndimamwa, pali botolo limodzi lochepa padziko lonse lapansi."
Kukoma kwa banjali kumafikira pa mipando. Zipinda zina izi zimapangidwa mwapadera kutengera zojambula zomwe bungwe la Southern Guild linapanga, malo owonetsera zinthu zakale omwe ali ku Cape Town, South Africa. Mwachitsanzo, chipinda chodyera chachitali chokhala ndi mbiya chinayenera kugwirizanitsidwa ndi tebulo lakuda la mamita anayi loyang'ana nyanjayi. Limaunikiridwa ndi chandelier yokongola yakuda ndi imvi yokhala ndi masipoko atali osunthika, okumbutsa malupanga kapena nyanga zopingasa, zomwe zimapezeka m'maholo a nyumba yachifumu yolemekezeka.
Mofananamo, chipinda chochezera chapangidwa mozungulira sofa yayikulu yachikopa yooneka ngati L yomwe siili pa TV koma pa malo oyaka moto akuluakulu otseguka, imodzi mwa anayi mnyumbamo. Malo ena oyaka moto amapezeka panja, zomwe zimapangitsa kuti pakhale malo abwino pa khonde la pansi, lokhala ndi mthunzi pang'ono kuti muzitha kutentha mukamaonera nyengo "youma" kuchokera kunyanja.
Zimbudzi zimapitiriza kukhala ndi mutu wonyezimira wa mkuwa, kuphatikizapo imodzi yokhala ndi mabafa awiri pafupi - yachikondi koma makamaka yosangalatsidwa ndi zidzukulu zomwe zimakonda kusewera poyang'ana mawonekedwe awo padenga la mkuwa lojambulidwa ndi galasi. Pali zambiri zokhudza mbiri ya moyo wawo m'malo okhala ang'onoang'ono m'nyumba yonse, opangidwa ndi chikopa chofiirira kuchokera ku Muirhead tannery (wogulitsa zikopa ku Nyumba ya Ambuye ndi Concord).
Khungu lake limafika padenga la laibulale, komwe mabuku akuphatikizapo buku la Donald Trump lakuti How to Get Rich ndi la Winnie the Pooh’s Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, lotchedwa dzina la nyumbayo. Koma zonse sizili monga momwe zilili. Pogwira ntchito molimbika pa msana wa bukuli, mu mphindi yosayembekezereka ya sewero la Scooby-Doo, shelufu yonse ya mabuku inatembenuka, n’kuvumbula kabati yobisika kumbuyo kwake.
Mwanjira ina, izi zikulongosola mwachidule ntchito yonse: nyumbayi ndi chithunzi chapadera cha kasitomala, chomwe chimapanga kulemera kwa mtunda wakunja ndikubisa chisangalalo, kunyada ndi nkhanza mkati. Yesetsani kuti musasochere paulendo wanu wopita ku firiji.
