It's like... a billboard that you can live in! A new [housing concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-getaway) called Single Hauz by an architectural firm in Poland proposes cantilevering [domestic living space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minuet) from a central mast. Basically the design makes it easy to [balance on top of a pole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lift-house), which can be driven into a lake, sea, or the side of a mountain.
Basically anywhere you have space you can put one of these houses. Genius!
I'd put one right in the middle of a freeway, but that's just me.
