Interresting design for commonspaces. Not very futuristic or resolving "habitation" issues.

I think this is a great concept to allow provide a space for homeless people by using the rooftop spaces of buildings that are not utilised otherwise. It gives a good feeling of community and safely. However there are things that haven't been addressed such as ablutions and protection from the cold.
