00:00 So, here we are in the Bali room now, right?

00:05 It's very comfortable in here.

00:08 But you've got no air conditioning?

00:09 No air conditioning.

00:10 No central heat?

00:11 I've never had an air conditioner.

00:13 What's that do to your electric bill?

00:15 Well, it plummets.

00:17 I use a tenth of the amount of electricity my mother uses, and she has a one-story house.

00:23 Talbot designed the roof to include a double membrane, reflective barrier, and an airspace

00:28 above the insulation.

00:30 The radiant heat from the sun that hits the tin roof is reflected back, escaping out the

00:34 ridge vent.

00:37 Talbot keeps busy on various mixed media projects for public spaces and local businesses.

00:44 I developed an interest in green building and sustainable living, and that's a very

00:50 important part of Casa Neverlandia.

00:54 And the whole back-to-the-land movement in my generation, the hippie generation, was

01:00 not lost on me.

01:02 Third floor, otherwise known as a penthouse.

01:05 This is the bedroom?

01:06 Yes.

01:07 This is the master bedroom?

01:08 Tell me about it.

01:09 Well, it's gone.

01:10 This is the third incarnation.

01:11 So, I decided to make more of a treehouse, and I elevated the bed, which gave me a nice

01:16 view of downtown.

01:19 Another special part of this space up here is this homage, maybe we'll say?

01:24 Is that what you would say?

01:26 Yeah, I've got this kind of altar to my past, to my ancestors, and I see how influenced

01:33 I've been.

01:34 I mean, artists always mine their childhoods, and I was blessed with a broad one.
