Tony Alleyne is a British hardcore Star-Trek fan who decided to transform his home into the ultimate home-made Star-Trek set.
Tony began his project in 1999, after his wife left him, he aimed to give his flat the ultimate make-over and turn it into a Star-Trek bachelor pad. He finished his masterpiece in 2004, but then decided to turn it into the Voyager starship.
Now his 500 square feet apartment features voice-activated lighting, air conditioning, LED lights, but is missing a bed. A few years ago doctors advised Alleyne to sleep on the floor to cure his sciatica, so he took this opportunity to transform his bedroom into a transporter room.
After hand-crafting the decor elements himself, Tony Alleyne opened his very own design company. Unfortunately this over-the-top project also got him broke. His ex-wife, who owns the apartment, put it up for sale, but so far no one is interested. Tony says he’s happy the deal didn’t go through, as he loves living in his very own Voyager ship.

Saw this apartment in the documentary “Trekkies.” Looks even better now than it did then. Studio quality! It should be rented out to fan-film makers. What is next?
FIRS–aw damn it.
Fine then. WANT.
I mean it. This is freaking awesome and I want to live there.
This is pretty cool, if I do say so myself.
[...] Well, maybe not this guy. [...]
Before describing an apartment like this, it would be nice to avoid spelling mistakes. I don’t want to be one of those geeks who point out incidental errors, but some of these are just glaring to be fixed. Look at the following paragraph:
His ex-wife, who owns the apartment put it up for sale, but so far no one was(is) interested. Tony says his(he’s) happy the deal didn’t go through, as hi(he) loves living in his very own Voyager ship.
how much you wanna bet he’s still single…unless he finds a nice hot nerdy girl! Yeah baby yeah!
i want this place… AMAZING
@Helioprogenus
Believe it or not, those errors ARE incidental. I’m not trying to find excuses for my poor writing, but you guys have to understand that I do all the writing on this blog, there’s no editor to check for mistakes and, honestly, I sometimes don’t have the time to give it another read before I post.
Oddity Central is just a hobby, I try to update as often as possible, but I also have to earn a living. Anyway, MEA CULPA, I will try to pay more attention when I post.
Thank you for your comment
I may not be the die hard fan that this guy is and I am not trying to say that his apartment is anything short of beautiful but… what is with the disco ball in the upper right hand corner of the second photo?
Dear Spooky,
You’re doin’ a great job. Never mind the occasional typo, and never mind if the spelling screws up sometimes. It’s the content that counts and that is just grade A material.
To all of you who can’t see through that and who just want to write ‘First’ and than rant about typos: Try getting a day job, a friend, a hobby or just jump off a cliff and get a real life.
Morons.
And oh yeah, “Hab SoSII’ Quch!”
Your stuff is great Spooky and I love this overview of the wonderful, over the top, total Trekkie apartment.
Thanx very Dutch for your great posting.
I meant the corrections as no disrespect. I figured since this is making the rounds on Stumble, more people will have a chance to look at this article than usual, so might as well have it fixed. Believe me, I have my own blog that has its fair share of spelling and grammatical mistakes, and I do understand. Take it as constructive criticism, and live long and prosper..V..
@Helioprogenus
I’m glad you understand, and trust me, I HAVE taken your words as constructive criticism. I will try to be more careful from now on. All the best to you as well.
@Daan Zonderland
Thank you for the kind words Daan, really means a lot! And I don’t mind people complaining about my spelling mistakes. I just wish they all knew I don’t make them because I don’t know how to write, but because I always write in a hurry. I hope people can understand that, but it’s still (mostly) a free internet and everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Wow, this is absolutely awesome. And I’m not even a fan of Star-Trek.
Always has to be one.
To have the want, desire and ability of accomplishing something so fantastic while being a fan of science fiction so much more accomplished and happy than reality alone speaks for itself in building this dream come true. As every day and night passes, never ever forget it is one less of each of these we have to endure in getting to a reality where all of this is no longer ’simply’ dreams of an energized mind! Peace and long life … … …
I stumbled this . Holy SHEETS this is cool. I love it!! oh and I do notice that disco ball LOL! oh well, it’s still cool anyway ^_^.
THIS GUY IS A HUGE LOSER. I hope he enjoys masturbating to klingons every night.
Ya know, I understand looking for new material like the next guy, but this story is *at least* three years old (the guy’s website hasn’t been updated since 2006) and I first heard about it before then… not exactly new material.
Any particular reason you are opening up this can of expired rehash?
Not too surprised that he’s divorced … esp. seeing as he pissed away all his money on a flat he doesn’t even own. Um … helllllllo! His ex-wife owns it … hardly what I would consider a ‘tolerant’ landlord.
GET A LIFE!!!
get it now
Loser or not, i’d kill to live there!
Thank you kindly for the entertaining and informative post. I don’t feel the earlier poster was complaining about the typos, but merely pointing them out to you. First impressions are lasting, and we all know you want the site to look its very best. Daan, if you think content is all that counts, you have a great deal to learn. Those who cannot or will not spell correctly seem to be most offended when unintended errors are pointed out, even when done so in a genuinely helpful manner. These are the same individuals who feel they must resort to name-calling and sneering as a way to boost their own self-esteem, or the lack thereof. Spooky, thank you kindly for the incredible amount of time and effort you’ve put into a truly fascinating site. I do apologize for the aside.
@Jalle
Thank you Jalle, I’m happy you like my site. I just wish I had the time to post more, there are so many interesting oddities out there.
Wow! This guy had too much time on his hands…lol but I have to say that re-vamping your ex-wife’s apt to the point where no one wants to purchase it is flat-out brilliant! Not only does your hobby come to life but a little bit of revenge is met with no one getting shot or stabbed…very nice.
This is one insane apartment. I like Star Trek – both the series and the movies, but I am definitely not a Trekkie. Sure it would be fun to hang out in a place like this for a day or two, but to live in it… no thank you.
So what I would suggest to this Trekkie is to make up with his ex, who owns the apartment, and start renting it out to Trekkie’s or to film producers, like someone already suggested before me.
I’m not even a star trek fan and I want to live there
This is brilliant. This guy did a fantastic job and I’d love to visit, and I don’t think I’d mind living there either. The attention to detail is wonderful. It also helps that Voyager is my favorite Trek, so I’m predisposed towards loving it.
Stumbled, liked. Now, I’m not a “trekkie” so when I read the article I did not know what to expect from the photos. Didn’t even expect photos for some reason… This apt. blew my mind!
i wonder how this guy feels, taking a dump or jerkin his gerkin on the enterprise all day
Hi,
Very nice, but it looks a bit too “blue” and dark, at least i remember one of the philosophies of star trek was to depict a bright future, this was also achieved by making the ships interior bright and with plenty light (expect in red alert situations).
So my compliments for the work you’ve done there, but add some lights
Love it….would love to hang out here a couple of times a week.
Well done Captain…. your dedication to the Federation is without
peer.
Wow! Amazing. I hope his wife dies of eye herpes if she sells this masterpiece out from under him.
Big Star Trek fan myself… I’d LOVE to smoke a joint in this appartment… oops pardon my spellling.
“Unfortunately this over-the-top project also *GOT* him broke.”
What the heck does that even mean???
you are a douchebag grammar nazi
I guess its cool that he doesn’t need a bed, cuz living in a spaceship, I’m guessing this dude doesn’t get laid too often.
I want to take a dump on this guy’s floor. What an asshat
lol this guy is a NUTTER no wonder his poor wife left him- but i have to say- he’s got some…. imagination….
I don’t like this apartment much, but you are just a twat, got to be American. Vulgar, offensive, loudmouthed, unsophisticated and would bully people to get what you want, got to be.
[...] via [...]
yeah, you know us Americans, we don’t put up with your BS, LOL
All the emotion and petty comments aside – I think Tony has done a cracking job of re-creating the Star Trek world. If he’s not actively applying for a job doing set design in Holywood or Pinewood (or wherever they do this sort of thing) then I’d be very disappointed as he’s obviously got a natural talent for this work and is clearly a very big fan of this particular franchise.
Tony – if you read this, get on it mate and all the very best!!! That’s one life story that would bve very inspirational and a welcome change to all the doom gloom in the world.
Ya but why Voyager!? Its the bastard child of Star Trek.
“Tony began his project in 1999, after his wife left him,”
EPIC FAIL
There is a lawyer in Greenville, NC with his client meeting room designed as a Star Trek room.
HOLY SHIT. AWESOME. I’m so jealous.
holy cow! look at that!
well congrat’s, because you just became one. … nerdy typo pointer outta! .. live the life, embrace it, it’s all yours now!
I’m not even a star trek fan and I want to live there
