transient mobility

Designed and built in 2003 as part of a thesis project for Master of Architecture at Norwich University, VT.
This mobile shelter provides living, sleeping, storage and outdoor space. It explores the notion of public and private space throught the transformation of states. In it's contracted state, the unit measures 4'x4'x8' and can be used as a sleeping space. In this state, the unit is also transportable, fitting in/on a standard freight truck.
When expanded, the unit measures 4'x8'x8' and contains a sleeping, storage, and living space, as well as a covered outdoor sitting area. The door to the unit opens as a corner which creates a new indoor/outdoor zone that functions as a buffer between public and private space.
