Living On Rooftops, Like Didden Village
Crazy Dutch architects MVRDV have found a way to build new homes without the need of more land in Rotterdam by building on the rooftops of pre-existing buildings. (Wow, total run-on sentence!)
The Didden Village (name of the house) project opened its doors last month to visitors and hosted an open discussion about who knows what. Sorry my Dutch is pretty limited, although it does remind me of my quest of owning a Clever Homes prefab. Sure the prefabs are cheap but land and zoning are expensive. I wouldn't mind living atop say, a Krispy Kreme. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!
Actually I heard it thru MOCOLOCO

Oh man, a Krispy Kreme rooftop house. Can you imagine the type of parties I could throw there?!?!

That is a pretty cool idea.

It's a cool idea but there aren't that many flat rooftops here in Texas.

Very nice idea! In some years, the same will be happen with Streets. I promise ;)
