Office Project of the Day: Buy Syd Barrett’s House!

9/1/06, 4:20 pm EST

Who would turn down the opportunity to sleep in one of the several bedrooms Syd Barrett dreamed his crazy dreams in? If you and your Floyd-obsessed colleagues pool your pennies, you might just get the chance. Barrett’s Cambridge home is about to go on the market, so now’s the time to put those plans for an international office share into action. Barrett’s sister Rosemary said that Syd had a unique relationship with the home: “He put his stamp on the house with frequent redecoration, building his own furniture. In the front room he did his drawing and painting. In the back room he relaxed and listened to jazz. Upstairs he slept in all the bedrooms, deciding which one as the mood took him.” Now doesn’t that sound relaxing?
