Billboard house
Posted on 29. Aug, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Design
Cape Town would have to rethink it’s attitude towards billboards, but we think that this pretty radical billboard house could be a design to use going forward.
The Single Hauz, from Poland, offers cantilevered space for one atop a
cement pole, allowing it to be installed anywhere from a mountainside
or the top of an existing building, to a lake.
So the bonus is that you don’t need a large amount of open land to put the thing on.
In fact, as shown here, it can easily be erected in a lake…or a small track of land anywhere.
It’s a double story structure, that although looks a bit thin, can easily accommodate a slender, single occupant.
As some reports suggest – the roof can be packed with solar panels, or a wind turbine generator and slap an OUTsurance ad on the one side of it to make some cash – you’ve got a fully self sustaining unit.
You want to move house? Just uproot the pole and head on. What a pleasure.

do your research before you push an innovative idea… there may have been some earlier ones.
