The Star Trek Apartment

[progressoid]

Tony Alleyne is a British hardcore Star-Trek fan who decided to transform his home into the ultimate home-made Star-Trek set.

Tony began his project in 1999, after his wife left him, he aimed to give his flat the ultimate make-over and turn it into a Star-Trek bachelor pad. He finished his masterpiece in 2004, but then decided to turn it into the Voyager starship.

Now his 500 square feet apartment features voice-activated lighting, air conditioning, LED lights, but is missing a bed. A few years ago doctors advised Alleyne to sleep on the floor to cure his sciatica, so he took this opportunity to transform his bedroom into a transporter room.

1. That's awesome

In a "totally glad I'm not that guy" way :)

5. Holy crap. Here's his website.

Apparently the interior design biz for trekkers isn't all that lucrative.

2. "after his wife left him"

shocker... :rofl:

[progressoid]

3. And now she's stuck with the apartment.

His ex-wife, who owns the apartment, put it up for sale, but so far no one is interested.

4. What's the chances of this guy not getting laid again ever for the next couple of decades

I say outlook good

[MilesColtrane]

6. Nah...there's somebody for everybody.

He'll just have to boldly go to new dating sites and seek out different pubs.

[arcadian]

9. Oh man, oh god, oh my god

That dude could so bed those chicks, if he only had a bed.

[Blue_Tires]

10. underage, but you're on the right track

I also wondered if he required his wife to be "in uniform" when aboard the vessel...Hell, I'd practically demand it...

19. Those Women Are Really Cute

Gotta look into this Trekkie thing.

7. Where's the toilet?

You can never find the toilet in these blasted star ships.

8. They Don't Use Toilets-They Beam It Into The Sun

n/t

[hunter]

11. That really sucks.

Talk about privacy issues... I have to call the transporter room every time I gotta go?

That's as bad as any job I ever had requiring employees to ask a supervisor if it wasn't lunch or break time.

[Beetwasher]

13. People Are Much Less Uptight About Such Things In The 24th Century

And they save a bundle on toilet paper.

The only downside is sometimes the transporter is a bit off and it may beam out a portion of your intestines.

[hunter]

17. Well, okay...

... just so long as that holographic doctor isn't analyzing my feces and telling me to cut back on the cheap "romulan-style" ale.

[Beetwasher]

20. Actually, Thats The One Thing They Cant Beam Out of u

It goes right through u way too quickly.

[hippywife]

26. Picture 10 at the Telegraph link

shows the toilet...or the top of the tank, anyway.

"I was convinced Trekkies all over the world would want a house like mine and pay me to do it," he says. "But I was wrong and just overstretched"

Really???? :rofl:

[Broken_Hero]

12. Thats sweetness....

thats gives me an idea, to really turn my Fortress room, into a Fortress of Solitude, complete with crystals, and that awesome king size silver waterbed they used in part II.

24. You might want to consider the effect of that action...

...on a certain upcoming legal process.


Everything in it's own time, my friend. :-)

14. "...decided to turn it into the Voyager starship."

At which time any coolness it might have had was lost forever.

[Fire Walk With Me]

15. Now THAT is a fanboy.

Make my "Deckard is a replicant" throes into tiny potatoes in comparison.

[Heidi]

16. I bet it's self-cleaning, too,

CMW: "Hey, you've GOTTA see this!"
Heidi: "VERY cool!"
CMW: "I could live like that!"
Heidi: "Is it self-cleaning?"
CMW: "Oh. The article doesn't say."
Heidi: :eyes:

[MrScorpio]

18. No bed, eh? I'm absolutely certain that he won't be entertaining any women. nt

[BlueIris]

21. A nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

(shudder)

[Hell Hath No Fury]

22. Wow, fantastic job!

Being a Trek geek I have got to say I absolutely LOVE it! What an incredible amount of work he put into it -- I am so impressed with the skill level he has shown. I could almost live there -- but I have a serious need for light in my living spaces. But man, it is cool none the less. Bravo! :applause:

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. Oh, of course. He's from Hinckley, in Leicestershire.

That explains most everything.

25. Are there Jefferies tubes?

Gotta have 'em...
