Urban Deployment – Building Above What Already Exists In dense urban environments, space is no longer found only on the ground — it is found above it. Elevating stilt houses over existing parking areas unlocks underused airspace without removing essential infrastructure. A single parking bay can host a compact residential unit while preserving the function below, creating housing without additional land consumption. This approach allows cities to introduce temporary or permanent living space exactly where it is needed most — during renovations, housing shortages, or emergency situations. The lightweight, reversible structure minimizes intervention in sealed surfaces and can be installed or removed with minimal disruption. By building upward instead of outward, the stilt typology transforms residual urban spaces into adaptable, resilient living environments — adding housing capacity without erasing what the city already relies on. >>> vote for us, if you can imagine one of our stilts above a car-parking lot in your neighbourhood. #temporary #adequatehousing #housingshortage #urbanhousing #architecture #response
