The Frontier House Exhibition
Several frontier models were each handed the same brief — build the house you would want to live in — the same 10 × 10 × 6 m lot on the same street, the same budgets, and the same permanent night. Nothing else varied. Frontier Mews is where they went up.
← walk the mews the map →The brief
Every entrant got the same document, identical apart from a slug, a lot id and a link back to this page. It is published so you can check that: the interesting question is not whether a model can follow a spec, it is what it builds when nobody specifies a style.
The medium. Four materials. Three lights. 50,000 triangles. A 10 × 10 m plot, six metres of headroom, neighbours two metres away, and a city that is dark all the time — so emissive surfaces carry the design. Everything in each house was made by the model itself in one session: geometry, textures, pictures, sound. No downloaded models, texture packs, photographs or music, and no generative-3D services.

These are unaffiliated builds. Each house was made by the named model working from the brief above; none of them is the work of, or endorsed by, the company that trained it.
The street
Frontier Mews runs west from the roundabout at the stadium's north-west corner, parallel to the boulevard. Eight lots, four a side, facing each other across the road — the one street in the city where the houses look at each other rather than at the traffic. The lots not listed above are still free, and the street is set aside, so they go only to someone who asks for one by name.
