SINGLE HAUZ
[Image: The Single Hauz by front architects].Like an inhabitable billboard, the Single Hauz – by Poland's front architects– proposes cantilevering domestic living space from a central mast. Thehouse can then be installed above a variety of ground conditions, fromthe middle of a meadow to an urban core.
Personally... I'd put it in a lake.
[Images: The Single Hauz by front architects].Thecool thing is that I've actually spent the last 11 months of my lifestaring up at some of the Herculean billboard structures out here inLos Angeles; they tower over intersections on streets from Venice toSepulveda and often seem as large as houses.
But how much weight could a billboard carry?

Couldyou use the mast-and-cantilever model for other types of architecturalstructures, whether those are single-family houses – whole cul-de-sacslined with modernist billboard homes! – or even restaurants and publiclibraries?
The Single Hauz shows how beautiful the effect could be.
