Zero Dollar Make-Over
A homeless man with just a garbage bag of clothes was allocated a room at Ainslie Village Canberra's largest housing estate. He was arriving the next morning and his room was bare.
After a hunt around the estate some old tins pf paint & brushes were found and some abandoned electrical items, furniture and flooring. Artwork was found in a vacant office.
Not only was the make-over completed single handed, under 5 hours with just an old shopping trolley to move items, but 4 living areas were created in this 4m x 4m space.
The table catches the morning sun and is a perfect way to start the day. In the evening a dining chair can be turned and used as a night stand.

This configuration was intentional to enable watching TV from bed. The sofa is the first thing you see when you come in the door. A good place for visitors.
