A German architect, Werner Aisslinger, thinks that he has found the answer 【1】our crowded cities. He has invented a portable micro-apartment. These apartments called “Loftcubes” can 【2】(lift) onto any empty roof by helicopter!

【3】(design) with a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a large living area, each Loftcube is extremely modern depending on the 【4】(late) technology in interior (室内) design.

The Loftcube was first shown at an 【5】(exhibit) in Berlin last year, but Berlin wasn’t the right place for them, because it doesn’t have a housing shortage. They are actually needed in busy, overcrowded cities, such as London and New York.

They don’t cost much - only £ 38,000. Aisslinger hopes that young people, 【6】often move from city to city, will buy them. When it is time 【7】(move), they will just take their homes with them!

“We have been speaking to 【8】 number of companies interested in building them, 【9】no decisions have been made yet,” says Aisslinger. He thinks that the homes will be ready by the end of next year and that this way of life will 【10】(possible) reach Britain first.
