September 2008 - A new business

The original:

The brief:
I came across this rather forlorn vacant shop in an unloved corner of a shopping arcade. The perfect place, perhaps, to start selling - what? Can you suggest a business that would fit in here?

It's a perspective puzzle this week, of course. Can you read the vanishing points out of this scene, and build an interior to match?

September 2008 - Water tower makeover

The original:


The brief:
I spotted this water tower when I was in France in the summer. A lot of these things - in England, at least - are being converted into homes these days. Although this isn't a particularly pretty example of the genre, I'm sure it could make an excellent dwelling with the right sort of care and attention.

Anyone fancy a spot of architectural remodelling?

September 2008 - The car pool

The originals:


The brief:
What is it about this shiny red sports car that makes me want to drive it into a swimming pool? Obviously something buried deep in my childhood. It's not a difficult Challenge, but I'd be interested to see how you approach this puzzle.

August 2008 - Ocean voyage

The original:


The brief:
