A group of homeless people have built a 'tent mansion' that is surrounded by multi-million dollar high-rise condos and is right near Seattle's famous Space Needle tourist attraction.

The camp structure, which has glass French doors and wooden pallet walls surrounding the tents, is located on a small patch of grass about half a block from the Space Needle.

The encampment, which has quickly been dubbed the 'tent mansion', is in a heavy foot traffic area given the number of tourists walking by to visit the towering Seattle landmark.

It was recently constructed there after the city forced the homeless group out a nearby park.

Melissa Burns, one of the tent mansion tenants, told KIRO7 they moved to the highly visible area on purpose after they were booted from their previous spot.

'We're not going to cower in our tent like we're scared of the world,' Burns said.

'We're homeless, so we're solving that problem. We are creating a home here.'

A homeless carpenter helped build the sidewalk wood and tarp structure.

The makeshift structure is made mostly of tents, wooden pallets, chairs, tarps and even umbrellas.

'We've got the doors, the couch, the table,' Burns told Q13 News.

'We've got the living room here, which is a mess right now because we're still constructing, but we're putting up the vinyl to cover it up, make it more attractive.'

She did admit that it wasn't a 'discreet' structure.

'Well, I won't say we're being discreet. We're obviously not. We're right in front of the Space Needle,' Burns said.

'Some people are cheering us on. Some people are really angry about it.'

'If you can live on the street and not pay rent, then why would you pay rent?' Burns said. 'It is a form of protest. We're staking a claim.'
