The design dmvA made for the office of XfactorAgencies, as an extension to the house, was relentlessly rejected by local building regulations. Used to working with limitations and blurring these boundaries at the same time, dmvA answered by designing a mobile unit, a blob.As a mobile construction and holding a high dose of art, it skirted round the strict building codes.AD&C, as a builder, worked 18 months on this project, resulting in this smooth looking egg. Started by building a timber frame, covered it up with a stretching material and plastered with polyester. Shaped by sanding the polyester time and time again. Inside, the space was built up with niches, lighted by leds. The space in between the outer in inner shell was filled up with PUR insulation.This space-egg houses all necessary items one could possibly need; bathroom, kitchen, lighting, a bed and several niches to store your stuff. The nose can be opened automatically and functions as a kind of porch. You could easily use this mobile unit as an office, a guestroom, a reception, a garden-house, or whatever you want to.The material used is polyester, sizes are like a big caravan and it can be moved to any place you like.It has been shown in Kemzeke, art foundation Verbeke.(www.verbekefoundation.com), From 15 up till 25 october the Blob was shown on Interieur 2010, Kortrijk.
