So who is hiding behind the idea of Project Laputa?
Vito (34) and me (Vesna, 31) - that's why V&V ;-)
We met in the summer of 2005, fell in love and start living togheter 6 months after our first date...We are a busy, active couple with lots of interests and things in common... You can say that we are kind of international - Vito is Italian and I'm Slovene. We live on the Slovenian coast and love it... Children? No, not yet but who knows what the future may bring :-)
So why Laputa?
One day Vito asked me if I ever saw a Miyazaki's anime cartoon and I said no.... so we spent the afternoon watching his best creations... That's when I fell in love with the legendary flying castle Laputa in the cartoon Laputa - Castle in the Sky. Swift also mentioned Laputa in his book Gulliver's Travels. This flying island was a place of incredible beauty, with gardens, lakes and waterfalls and the castle and it's inhabitants lived in a perfect syntony with the nature around it... So, a few years after the first time I saw the cartoon, when our architect asked us what name we wanted to give to our house we both said Laputa...
