Designer Stuns Everyone In The World By Building A Secret Studio Beneath A Busy Bridge In Valencia
Plumber-turned-furniture designer Fernando Abellanas has built himself a studio that acrophobes wouldn’t want to visit. Abellanas has constructed his workplace under a bridge in Valencia, Spain, and it perfectly blends into the urban setting.
This under-bridge setup has a chair, a desk, and two shelves, providing all the storage space one could ask for in a regular office. To access the micro dwelling, the designer uses a hand crank that transports the base to the furniture, bolted to the bridge’s concrete wall.
Abellanas is keeping the exact location of the studio a secret. “The project is an ephemeral intervention,” he told the Spaces, via Curbed. “[It will remain] until someone finds it and decides to steal the materials, or the authorities remove it.”

What an interesting/unique idea. Remove the crank handle, and your shelter is secure. :D I wonder if he needed a permit for the shelter?
He said it will remain until the authorities remove it. I'm guessing it's not legal.
I'm thinking this would be illegal if they have vagrancy/transient laws.
i think if this is env-friendly , it should be permitted... isn't it... ?
Government is a dick. They probably made him pay for one.
@jorge Martinz .. but for homeless people
If you ask me, he´s a hipster playing homeless.
it's just a hipster urban office, not a home, so not really playing homeless xD
I agree.
I think it's interesting because it shows what you can do with a limited space. Concepts like this can then be altered and applied to other living areas, potentially helping house the homeless
Considering the traffic noise and smog, it doesn't seems to be a very relaxing office...
It's an office, shouldn't be relaxing :-)
It's REALLY quiet between 4AM and 6:15 AM, though.
its a "ephemeral intervention" ... an art installation.... not meant to be practical.... like taping a banana to a wall.... it elicited that response from you.... that was its purpose
white noise is OK, it's actually relaxing but the pollution of the smog is so so wrong.
