French architect and artist Stephane Malka have created an epic (and probably illegal) housing project for the homeless in Marseille, France. Appropriately titled “A-Kamp47”, the project allows bergies to go spiderman and make their homes on walls.

These modern mobile homes are designed to provide homeless people with a safe place to sleep. Each A-Kamp47 tent is large enough to fit two people, contains thermal blankets and storage space. When clustered together, these tents also help protect to one another, acting as mutual wind shields.

In South Africa where homelessness and severe weather conditions are major problems, there’s no doubt that we need these things.
