Con­tin­u­ing on the theme of an ear­lier post on unsual instru­ments here is this awe­some musi­cal house. It seems that some­one decided to make their house into an instru­ment, or a house sized instru­ment depend­ing on your perspective.

All the Archi­tec­tural instru­ments are based around strings. The Archi­tec­ture becomes the struc­ture, bridge and res­onator for these giant stringed instru­ments. Spe­cially devel­oped brass wire and piano wires are used as “the strings” of the instru­ments. The use of long string tech­nolo­gies devel­oped by Bill Close allow for the instru­ments to be archi­tec­tural in scale. The com­plex pat­terns of strings are exten­sion of the archi­tec­tural lines of the house and become an inte­gral part of the visual experience.
