Live right on Lake Montauk for $499K at this 260-square-foot cottage

This might just be the most affordable house in Montauk, a great deal if you're not looking for a ton of space. Located right on Lake Montauk, the charming cottage is actually part of The Outrigger co-op complex. It's a modest 260 square feet, but the $499,000 price tag can't be beaten. Inside, the studio has everything you need, while outside there's a wrap-around deck and access to all the setting has to offer.

Framlab proposes 3D-printed modular microneighborhoods to shelter NYC’s homeless

By Michelle Cohen

The growing population of homeless New Yorkers is sending creative agency Framlab up a wall–literally. The Oslo- and New York City-based agency has proposed a way to provide shelter for the city's homeless in an arrangement of 3D-printed micro-neighborhoods comprised of hexagonal modules designed to attach to a scaffold structure, creating a second layer of properties, basically, alongside a building's empty wall (h/t designboom). In the project, called "Homed," the modular pods can be clustered together, creating a "cellular mosaic" with their fronts facing the street.
