On the roof is a space that functions as an entertainment area. The room is tiled to achieve a cool ambience that blends well with the minimalist furnishings in the spaces below.

Another man made a 'mobile plan'
Meanwhile, Briefly News earlier reported that an Ethiopian man, Abinet Tadesse, improvised a solution to his own accommodation problems. He built comfy quarters straight on top of his beloved truck.
The house has three bedrooms, two living rooms, three bathrooms and a balcony. Abinet said what inspired him is that he has always enjoyed spending time working with his hands towards his own goals.
Building the house was not easy. Abinet said it took him three years to complete the whole project. To him, what makes the house different is that he can take it anywhere.
