crossing local neighborhoods such as chelsea, westminster and canary wharf, the house will host community events and overnight stays, providing new perspectives on the city. the fully functioning project, which celebrates new rules that mean that UK residents can earn a 15 per cent pay rise by sharing their homes through sites like airbnb, will meander along the river throughout until saturday, may 22.
