In the mid-'90s, Star Trek fanatic Tony Alleyne's wife left him, and then he converted their apartment into a replica of the Voyager spacecraft. (Kind of a chicken-and-egg thing going on there).
While the mission statement of the apartment might seem to be "To Boldly Go Where No Woman Will Ever Go"--or, as Gizmodo's Charlie White puts it, "Alleyne has [created] a bachelor pad where he'll probably never, ever get laid"--demand for similar spaces by other fans has led Alleyne to open his own "Science Fiction Interior Design" firm, 24th Century Design.
Scoff if you like, but all of us designers who've had to mock futuristic prototypes up out of what's available at Home Depot--as Alleyne has--can recognize the man has skills.
