Homeless Shelter that feels like a Home

A group of designers in LA have adopted rooms in a converted motel and are creating charming and upbeat temporary homes. This is such a nice surprise, seeing a great non-profit idea that actually comes to life. I hope we can spread this design spirit to other cities. It's wonderful to watch designers work with nothing and move away from the ultra luxurious designs of the upper class.
