See, living under bridges isn't just for trolls anymore. Now, the avant garde class (or horror lovers) can join in on the fun!
Czech architecture firm H3T Architeckti's "Black Flying House" is a small four square meter (about 43 square feet) house suspended under an old railway bridge with thin steel cables. From a distance, it looks like the dwelling is floating in the air.
The house is accessible using a small ladder and features a small window and stark interior with matte black finishes. Perfect for a horror fan!

Maybe because it's under a bridge? In many urban areas, bridges are where a lot of homeless congregate and there's a negative perception (rightly or wrongly) about the perception of safety in such places.

How is this house different than any other flammable structure in that regard? Short of some physical barrier, any structure made of flammable material can be lit on fire by someone walking by.

I think that's why they need a ladder to get up there! :)

I surely hope you are right. IMO, anyone hanging around in that shelter out in the open/public area is surely inviting some idiot to do something bad to it. I wish I were more optimistic/trusting about that but my world has changed dramatically since I was a child.

Yeah, I think this is meant as an architectural showcase/thought piece, rather than an actual dwelling for people.
