Asmita Prasad:
If you are a fan of the ‘Lost in space’ horror flicks and find the desolate-looking steely enclosures featured in those movies particularly homey and comforting, then you will absolutely love this proposed housing project developed by Yaohua Wang Architecture. Named ‘Beijing House II’, the project looks to provide single-family residences that come with their own creative studios and green rooms and look to provide occupants with a cozy albeit bijou living space.
To regular people like you and me, living in a steel cage and that too suspended from an old abandoned factory building would hardly look appealing at all, but the architects at the Chinese firm believe that the housing scheme can be the ultimate answer to the global urban space shortage crisis. Since, most new housing projects tend to take up a lot of space and result in the addition of steel-and-concrete high-rises that take away from the historicity of a city’s skyline, a solution like this proposed project which utilizes existing structures might prove to be more appealing instead.
The ‘Beijing House II’ project, thus, would provide an independent housing typology that can be “fitted” onto retired factory buildings or simply attached to other buildings to provide additional living space for families without having to construct large scale residential towers.
Loony and Willy Wonka-esque as the ideology behind the housing project is, the individual living unit themselves are sound creations constructed to withstand earthquake and various weather phenomenon. The interior scheme of these units comprises of a series of suspended bedrooms that cater to the needs of a single family and allow the space leftover to be utilized as a green room and a studio.
Since the units are intended to be suspended from existing buildings above the streets, the view they offer to their residents would of course provide the most unconventional vantage point, though living in a house clung to a retired factory building has got to be a bit unnerving itself.
A complete single housing unit spans a mere 500 m² though having a bunch of these would cost something upwards of US$ 2 million which raises some serious questions about the cost effectiveness of these housing units in relation to larger housing structures.
