Core77
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.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

This Designer Built a Floating Studio Hidden Under a Bridge
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.
This guy got all his stuff stolen by a homeless guy.
