HOPES ADRIFT – enquire for prices: mail@thedhaus.com
“Hopes Adrift” is a short story by Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus). While the text of the story isn’t widely available, key concepts can be inferred based on the historical and contextual background of Columbus and his writings predominantly being Exploration and Discovery: His title suggests themes related to voyages and the spirit of exploration. It explores the feelings of anticipation, and the uncertainty faced by explorers setting out into the unknown.

CALLING AT ALL STATIONS – enquire for prices: mail@thedhaus.com
The phrase “calling at all stations” typically has a specific meaning related to transportation, especially railways. It indicates that a train will stop at every station along its route,
“calling at all stations” might metaphorically refer to a message or transmission that is intended for widespread distribution or to reach all recipients or destinations. someone might use “calling at all stations” figuratively to mean thoroughness or inclusivity in reaching out or covering all necessary points or aspects of a topic or situation.

Enter The 36 Chambers of Unrealised Projects – enquire for prices: mail@thedhaus.com
This work is a visual diary, a representation of all the Mistakes, wrong turns, dead ends, endless variants, endless hope and endless enthusiasm to try to build a DHaus Dynamic House, All the different options have been washed up in a graveyard drawing file.
In fairness we came really close two times, even getting planning permission from a council in Devon to build one. But sadly, for many reasons we lost the projects, that’s a story for another time.
The work expresses this quest in the form of a 3d drawing with roads, pathways, stairwells and more that link each project from one to the other. A kind of maze of thinking, and nothing really in order which is kind of similar to the actual project timelines,
We have never had a business plan, nor do we intend to, DHaus like this drawing is a collection unrealised projects that have led us to were we are today, a fully functioning architectural practise.
For the first 10 years of the practise, we could not quite let go of the dream of building a dynamic moving house or a static house built with the same mathematical formular and principles. The static homes interested us because they are all about prefabrication and modular thinking, whereas the dynamic moving homes are really the 4th Dimension.
The spread of the drawing transcends 3 canvases, all 841 mm x 841 mm, these drawings are like shifts in time and thinking, nothing is clear and there is not direction.

Road to Nowhere (PARIS) – enquire for prices: mail@thedhaus.com
This works is a re-make of the 1913s poster Road to Success by Etude Magazine, the drawing depicts a satirical projection of life, an illustrated rat race: whereby an allegorical map shows a road to musical success.
So much happens in the drawing, A host of shortcomings and mistakes including “Bohemianism,” “Misrepresentation”, “Lack of Preparation”, “Bad Business Methods”, and “Weak Morals” lead to “Oblivion”, and the “River of Failure”. But those who adopt the “Right System”, attain “True Knowledge”, and pass through the “Gate of Ideals”, the golden lyre of Success beckons.
The map is adapted to musical education from an original drawing issued by the National Cash Register Company to point the road to business success.
Completely fascinated with this drawing, I wanted to recreate this but with all the drawing style that we have been working on at DHaus,
was watching a lot of Manga movies at the time and I feel the colours in this diptych are heavily influence by this. Works are available to buy, all works are printed digitally then hand signed / and hand finished by us.

All that is Gold – D*art Board enquire for prices: mail@thedhaus.com
“All that glitters is not gold”
is an aphorism stating that not everything that looks precious or true turns out to be so.
(Often, aphorisms are distinguished from other short sayings by the need for interpretation to make sense of them)
While early expressions of the idea are known from at least the 12th–13th century, the current saying is derived from a 16th-century line by William Shakespeare, “All that glisters is not gold”.
The popular form of the expression is a derivative of a line in William Shakespeare‘s play The Merchant of Venice, which employs the word “glisters,” a 16th-century synonym for “glitters.” The line comes from a secondary plot of the play, in the scroll inside the golden casket the puzzle of Portia‘s boxes.
All that glisters is not gold—
Often have you heard that told.
Many a man his life hath sold
But my outside to behold.
Gilded tombs do worms enfold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscrolled
Fare you well. Your suit is cold
-William Shakespeare, Merchant of Venice.
The phrase is referenced with a reversal of the usual meaning in J. R. R. Tolkien‘s poem “The Riddle of Strider”, originally written for The Fellowship of the Ring.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
I saw this as a print in someone’s room when I was in university, always been a huge Tolkien fan and actually did not know that he took this from William Shakespeare and just reversed the meaning. As stated in a few of the other short essays in artworks, a theme in our work is the notion of lost, and everything that comes with it. To be truly lost for me is the essence of exploration and experimentation. Graphically this piece is bold, dark and open ended with many different interpretations but ultimately its what ever it means to you that counts.
Prints are printed digitally, and hand signed / hand finished, only one size available in this particular print.
