HomeBox
In the size of an internationally
standardized freight container a wooden container has been developed with
different variants for residential uses. The box can be shipped around the
world and placed with standard lifting and transport systems for container.
The first HomeBoxes are experimental
objects for construction: They use materials and construction methods which are
not typical and almost all components are prototypes. Urban planning
concept
The HomeBox is designed as a movable home with different location and usage
possibilities.
A vertically positioned box needs a small
base area ('footprint') and could perhaps locate as a solitary ‘nomad’ in urban
or rural sites. HomeBoxes can be
placed temporarily in gap sites between buildings and on fallow lands.
The HomeBox could be used as emergency
shelter and also for major events such as the soccer World Cup, an Expo or
Olympic Games as temporarily hotels or hostels.
A group of HomeBoxes can create a
(temporarily) container village with different urban configurations like streets,
roads, squares, etc.
Why a wooden
container?
Worldwide are almost steel containers in use. But wear, repair and maintenance of steel materials are more costly
(in term of purchasing costs, welding, etc.) than for wooden materials.
Wooden constructions can be repaired cheaper and easier. Variation and
adjustment to changing necessaries and conditions are easier and cheaper with
wooden containers. Live in wooden
homes is healthier and more comfortable as in a home made of steel and wood is an
environment-friendly material.
The internationally standardized dimensions
of a container allow the worldwide transportation. A HomeBox is in design,
installation and handling a house between a mobile home and a small house that
could moving with his inhabitants. Functional
Concept
The HomeBox 1 has three levels all of equal height, the HomeBox 2 has three
levels with different heights and a third HomeBox with light cupolas is in
planning.
The installation units like a
sanitary room and pantry kitchen with the dining area are located in the lower
level, the sleeping area in the middle level and the lounge area at the top
level.
HomeBoxes have a vertical split of
the usage: entrance and more ‘public’ areas in ground floor and in the top ‘private’
areas with a view and sunlight.
Simple stairs combined
the levels in the HomeBox but it is also possible to combine two or more boxes
with only one stair.
