Rodney Allen Trice's Basel House
I have entertained the notion of reimagining the homes we live in for a while. Basel House is my first step into the exploration that is certain to only get increasingly interesting as it grows.

Basel House Model 1
This one is designed with primarily the two main wings of a 787. We quickly determined there will not be many 787 wings retiring and available any time soon. But it is our favorite design and we followed through hoping to find some wing of something that may work with the design. It is our favorite.

Basel House Model 2
This one is ranch style with the whole place on one floor. There are private compartments made from fuselage chunks laid on their sides as well as an engine casing that can house much of the mechanical parts of the house along with a fireplace. There is a lot of cathedral like ceiling space throughout. The type of aircraft that will lend themselves to this design are Pan Am DC-4, Conair DC-6B or Douglas DC-7C.

Basel House Model 3
This uses chunks of the fuselage of a 747. Really any plane with a slightly larger body could lend itself to this design since almost all jet aircraft have this body shape. This one feels more beach house and being up on the stilts would make it better if the land is close to or on the beach.

Basel House Model 5
This one uses the main wings of a foreign aircraft (Ilyushin IL-86). Again these designs are the hopeful starting place for the aircraft parts we can actually locate in the Miami area. Fingers crossed on one of theses designs. Hopefully one will both have accessible parts and lend itself to all the environmental concerns and components that will make it have a zero or minus footprint.

Basel House Model 6
This is also a house designed with the wings of a 747. AGAIN, it is not likely to be the plane we can acquire for this but it remains in the running because of the design. The design may be possible with another wing from something that is available. I like this one because of the way it affords great privacy and almost a fortress from two sides while being completely open throughout the bulk of the house.
