They are a common sight outside renovation projects, for example, and can easily be moved to another location if desired.”It also gave quite a good juxtaposition between what you don’t typically think of as a house and almost the polar opposite of that, which is a bin or dumpster, and how actually that could be turned into something which is relatively cozy and homely,” he said.His dwelling is in Bermondsey in southeast London, a short distance from Tower Bridge.
