This Designer Built a Floating Studio Hidden Under a Bridge

"Refuge from the city within the city itself"

Yeah, so this is nuts: Valencia-based designer Fernando Abellanas wanted to "seek refuge from the city within the city itself," and picked the underside of a bridge—far above the ground—as a site for a studio. By welding up a steel frame with rollers resting on the bridge's crossbeams, he can even move the darn thing around.

Interesting but so many questions. The bridge is obviously government infrastructure, does he have permission to do this? Can you find solitude under a bridge? Seems kind of noisy in certain parts of the video. How does he prevent theft or vandalism? Not sure how practical or sustainable this is for a long term solution to whatever problem he was trying to solve. Never the less, still an awesome hidden lair.
