How many of you have walked past an abandoned dumpster and said “That looks like a good place to live?” If you have and really, even if you haven’t, this London, England artist did just that.
When Harrison Marshall, an architect and artist, started looking for a new home to rent in London last summer, he was struck by the “crazy” prices.
“I was trying to find somewhere that would fit my budget and criteria, but if I found somewhere there’d be 100 other people also looking for the same spot and it’d be gone in five minutes,” he told Insider. “So it made me start thinking that there’s got to be another way for me to do this.”
The 28-year-old came up with the idea of converting a dumpster, which are called “skips” in Britain, into a tiny home. They are a common sight outside renovation projects, for example, and can easily be moved to another location if desired.
Harrison Marshall designed and built the tiny home after spending the last seven years working on design and construction projects for charities overseas.
Marshall built the tiny home in a few months mostly in his spare time in the evenings. He started living in the tiny home last month.
