BILLBOARDS TO TURN INTO MODERN SMALL HOUSES



Well, how would it look if a billboard is turned into a fascinating tiny house at some really exciting places like in the middle of a pond or a maize field?  As we live in digital age and advertising is going more and more online, what is the future fate of the less famous billboards around the world? So, the twisting fate of billboards is our fail of the day!




Well, transportation conservation is becoming an increasing economic and ecological concern, the billboards are anticipated to be taken away from the scene gradually. But, it some real creative architects says that it could be charmingly utilized! A proposal by Front Architects, a polish architecture company suggests turning these billboards into lofted homes – small houses, but located in some potentially fascinating places.



Some of these unusually thin homes could be built in place from scratch, others could be transported to new locations or even left where they are in the urban environment. As with so many good design projects the feasibility of this specific idea as such is not of singular or even primary importance – the concept provides a foundation for rethinking everyday urban structures, artifacts of the built environment, that we might find new and different uses for as times change.




The above image is only a computer-generated overlay in a real situation. Still, just think what would it be like to live in somewhere so public yet also removed from the street level? Somewhere surrounded by four walls and lifted up from the ground but at the same time exposed on all sides? It’s exciting! So start counting down!
