A small, colourful fleet of eclectically designed accommodation for the otherwise homeless by American artist Gregory Kloehn – founder of the Homeless Homes Project community initiative.

Mill Junction – a former grain silo block in Johannesburg – reborn as student accommodation after an innovative conversion by South African property management outfit Citiq.
By converting the silos and adding stacks of shipping containers to the sides and top, the development – completed in January and opening this month – has 375 apartments along with study rooms, libraries, computer rooms and stunning views of the city from the rooftop terrace 40 meters up.
