Initial ideas


After churning out 3 thumbnail ideas, this was the idea i've decided to run with. It's portable, compact and can be transported behind a car. When packed up, it's dimensions are about 1800x1800x1200mm.

The images on the left show the progression of set up.






Adaptability is a concept I've explored, as it
seems simple enough to adapt a 'kit of parts 'minimal portable building according to different sites, weather and occasions.

Simply, the northern side opens up the unit to the surrounds. The eastern portion has a sofa/bed
making the served space, the west for the servant space (toilet, kitchen).

Problem encountered ..... i'm thinking the sofa orientation doesn't face the view. .... also there should be a view in closed up mode.





Here is the afternoon shade option.
