House Number Lightbox Project, or...  

Nice !
I want one 😉

Very snazzy.
Is this going to be mounted directly against the house? It would also look cool mounted on a pole in the yard.
Good use of Easter vacation!

Thanks Riki...
it will actually have two rods on the bottom that will be pushed into the ground to help anchor within a landscaped area. You won't see them, they'll oush into the ground until the bottom of the box is flush with the ground.

I love it!
Very attractive! We had a similar problem at my house back in MA. My solution was an old rusty I-beam we got at the dump and a solar light. But I think I like yours better!

That's cool too Olive...
has a very "found object" kind of feel. Very resourceful.

Nice ones,
DudeDah and Olive. My contribution is the design I produced for the owner of a significant MCM home in the suburbs, where extensive low ground cover greets the visitor at the street. I contrived a way to elevate the numerals above this textured green field so that the numbers would seem to float above the ground; oil-rubbed bronze is the dark green-brown statuary patina used on exterior metalwork.

Nice SDR...
that "1" is spatially a lot nicer than the one I used. I love the Neutra typeface but we have kind of a bummer of an address from a proportions standpoint. Do you have any photos of the finished product?

If you don't like the looks of "301", you could try
3
0
1

HAH! Too funny!
I never liked our #7 because of the proportion, either...and our new house is also going to be #7, oddly enough. But ONLY DA'ers would be the types of people to bemoan the visual proportions of our address number!

Those steeped
in calligraphy and typography turn their noses up at vertically-stacked letters and numerals -- on the basis of history, and legibility. But advertisers and other commercial users -- and those who must place house numerals in awkward locations -- will ignore tasteful convention for convenience. All others be warned ! Worse than vertical might be the dreaded diagonal. . .
As far as I can tell my "client" never followed through. Maybe if I'd charged him for the work -- a simple labor of love -- he'd have valued the result more ?
I can't recall the name of the typeface (nowadays referred to as a "font" -- tsk tsk). I did a demonstration of letterspacing with those four numerals; I'll post that too.

.
"Unaltered" is the spacing generated by the text program in the computer. One can usually improve on that. Tight spacing was very "in" in the sixties. . .
The "font" isn't Helvetica Bold, but something similar. The serif of the "1" is different.

Yeah, unfortunately...
when working with raw materials Command Z ( or CONTROL Z for you PC users ) doesn't allow you to try again. I never considered vertically stacking for the very reasons you mention SDR. BUT it WOULD help solve the problem. As it stands I do have a little more space between the 3 and 0 than the 1 which kinda kills me, but even when the spacing is worked out perfectly it's one of those things that it still doesn't look right visually. Oh well, I'm happy with the results and can't wait to get it all lit up.

Well
it's a pretty piece, spacing aside. Do let us see it when it's installed and lit !
(If you made a new back board in a lighter color [incidentally allowing you to space that 1 a little more] then you would get the numerals in silhouette at night ? Well, I'll wait for the photo. . .)
It sure is nice to look at. What is the wood ?
