I was watching a programme on BBC 3 the other night where the presenter explored alternative housing options; in this case they were experimenting with converting a shipping container into a “flat”, and then renting some unused rooftop space to house the container.

Sceptical at first, I had to admit the programme made a good case - house prices in London are exceptionally high. The average age of first time buyers in London rose to 34 this year and it is estimated that you need a salary of about

    I doing project for master’s degree in architectural design in AA. I am interested with my group to do our project on one London rooftop. Our reason for that is somehow similar to what I have red above but we have different approach. We are note familiar with the city so we do not know the best place to construct our project. It will be great if you help us in that. What was the name of that program? Can you suggest specific sites for us?
