Gregory Project: Billboard Housing

NBC News recently reported that a Slovakian architectural design firm has proposed building small living spaces for the homeless in the triangular space behind V-shaped billboards.  These lofted units would utilize billboards’ rigid structure and electric connections; all that’s needed is a water connection.  The firm’s plans for a two room apartment include a kitchen, bed, desk, and bathroom. 

The designers suggest that the billboards’ advertising revenue could partially fund the homes’ maintenance.
