The aim for this "parasite" is to populate the unused urban spaces. It is described as growing on buildings, rocks, and bridges. It turns dead space into a lively private living space. This sustainable design is constructed by Lara Calder architects, found in Australia. Because it is prefab it can be easily placed in any place described above. The construction includes, a roof top terrace, a kitchen and dining room on the fourth floor, a living room on the third floor, a bedroom on the second floor, and the entrance is situated on the first floor. Both the bedroom and kitchen and dining have balconies. While it might look strange, and could be a bit strange for the owner, it is a good idea to use flat facades of buildings like bridges to form new housing units instead of taking up green space for new housing. The views that it creates are definately unique ones that most do not get and even though light only comes from one side of the house it seems like it would surround most of the rest of the house.
