Billboard house concept

By Rain Noe - August 28, 2007

in Object Culture

Cool concept: a billboard-based house by Polish architecture firm Front Architects. Single-mast design means you can place the domicile just about anywhere, and maybe even subsidize it with an ad for Rush Hour 3 on the back.

French architect Didier Fuiza Faustino actually thought of the concept first, way back in 2000, but Front's looks better; it's rendered using current programs while Faustino's thumbnail (scroll to the bottom) was the best you could do at the turn of the century.

do your research before you have a "good idea", or is that where the "idea" came from?

lots of "narrow boats" on the english cannals are only 6' wide and are used for living aboard. This appears to be 8-10' so much more useable. If you made the stair case retractable you have a real "fortress" to retreat to or to leave unattended for vacation use.
