Very cool idea! I’d stay there. In fact modules like this would make a great home. With the multiple sizes you can get these concrete structures in the possibilities are endless.

It’s a sewer pipe, who needs a bathroom?

Dig it into a hill and you could have a wine cave.

This isn’t the first time people have lived in pipes! The Oakland Museum of California tells this story in the Gallery of California History:

At the foot of 19th Avenue in Oakland, nearly 200 people lived in leftover concrete sewer pipes, scavenging vegetables from nearby grocery wholesalers. They called their village “Miseryville,” but the press dubbed it “Pipe City City.” From the Central Valley to coastal cities, homeless families built roadside camps and makeshift shantytowns like this. With foreclosures at an all-time high and migrants pouring into the state, housing was scarce and people found shelter where they could.

“To qualify for citizenship in Pipe City City you must be jobless, homeless, hungry, and preferably shoeless, coatless, and hatless. If one also is discouraged, lonely, filled with a terrible feeling of hopelessness and helplessness, one’s qualifications are that much stronger. One belongs.” — Oakland Post-Enquirer, December 3, 1932
