Computer generated conceptual renderings for a new lake house design project I am working on with a client in Howard, Ohio.

Before alarm clocks existed, people would use nails fixed onto candles to make sure they would wake up on time.

They knew how to calculate the burning time and put the nail at the right position. As the candle melted, the nail fell, made a noise and woke up its owner.

Interestingly, this was also before smoke detectors and fire alarms.
