DailyDirt: Oh, Give Me A Home...

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

The housing market has obviously seen better times, but if you're willing to live in some small spaces, there are some creative housing designs out there. Here are just a few unique floor plans that your real estate agent probably won't show you. By the way, StumbleUpon can recommend some good Techdirt articles, too.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Actually, one I really liked was the "Transformer house".
    Here is one from Hong Kong:

    Wish I could find the one again in France...

    Real Living At The Mall

    You might take a look at the University of Alberta's Housing Union Building (1972).

    This is effectively a mall (functioning partly as a student union) with several upstairs floors of apartments over the shops. The architect, Barton Myers, is, unfortunately, a modern architect, which meant that he didn't go in for things like balconies and porches.

    Re:

    That guy's apt reminds me of a library.. and he has to be really organized and clutter-free. And hopefully, he doesn't frequently need something that he's stored in a "back layer" of his apt...
