Assignment 1


Sketchup File

My design embodies my research of a temporary home that provides maximum living space that is flexible, personal and able to be easily transported and set up. This is done through the minimal alterations to the main shipping container so as to retain its rigidity and ability to stack and to keep enough space to fill with the supplied furniture and extension. The extension is make out of a light-weight steel structure and covered with a waterproof fabric that can be rolled up and stored for travel. This is then transformed into an enclosed space with a 'zip' function to the transparent plastic walls and plastic drop sheet. This space provides further entertaining/living/sleeping space that isn't constricted to any function. Finally the use of swiveling porthole skylights provide light and ventilation from above and the roof acts as a garden bed to grow food on with fertile soil, this doubles as insulation to the container.
