This fantasy scheme for a house for a birdman – a creature half man half bird – was based upon an historic conical stone tower that the architect Peter Wilson happened upon in Southwold, Norfolk. In his design, Wilson converted the tower and added a building to create the home for a resident who is not shown in the drawings but whose living habits are revealed. The new structure is triangular in plan and stepped from the outer corners to a point close to the tower. There is a rope bridge and a swing; one level is grassed like a nest; a glazed corridor-room is used for storage of items like luggage and a cine-camera; and although men’s clothing hang in one room, several pairs of wings also hang on the walls.
