Domestic waste renovation: DIY production of high-end villas in the eyes of homeless people

Oakland artist Gregory Kloehn likes to collect discarded materials everywhere, turning what people call garbage into high-end villas in the eyes of homeless people.

He is usually either picking up rubbish or on his way to pick up rubbish. However, instead of collecting rubbish at home, he selects suitable materials and hand-builds a very unique mini villa that is sheltered from wind and rain.

The found car doors and refrigerator doors can be used as walls, and transparent bowls or photo frames can also be used as windows. Wheels are also added to the bottom of the villa, which can be pushed by homeless people who must move at any time. The house is a very important living factor. Coupled with the slightly sloping eaves, it provides shelter from the wind and rain on rainy days, and the water falling on it can be easily discharged. Although the layout is not big, I believe these houses are suitable for long-term outdoor wind blowing. For homeless people who are hit by the rain, maybe it’s fromIt’s time to live in the best house you’ve ever lived in while living on the streets!

It looks so comfortable, there are lockers inside, and a bed makes it a perfect cozy nest!

Although it is not enough to build houses for all street residents, Gregory Kloehn said that he will continue to do it and help every one he can. He also hopes to recruit more people to help build through publicity. Many local teenagers have already invested in his plan, and some people have chosen to donate money or provide materials to help this matter spread.
