The Office for Subversive Architecture is a collective of architects and designers across Europe and the UK who have taken a unique perspective on the I Want To Live Here concept. They have engaged in an interesting project called Intact, to restore an odd little abode they found on stilts.

intact - guerilla restoration of a signal box

Located in Shoreditch, London, this ‘dream home’ was a former railway signal box which was transformed to meet the English ‘twee’ cottage ideal. The artists commented that “a simple, low budget and temporary action on a specific site such projects capture the imagination and raise awareness and debate around the spaces that we often pass by without so much as a glance.”

The I Want To Live Here project is also about drawing attention to these oft passed locations. Our neighbourhoods are full of potential homes. We just need a big of imagination to create some ‘dream homes’ for the 270,000 Australians who live it rough every night.
