An autonomous, ecological, adaptable, mobile house modulus… Autonomous and ecological because it self-produces the amount of energy that it consumes using renewable energy sources and passive insulation. Adjustable because of its possibility for high mobility, it adjusts to the tastes and lifestyle of its ‘user-creator’ @= at… Where the ‘user-creator’ chooses to set it up.ID= Identity… The modulus, videlicet the container, is the canvas. The ‘user’ becomes a ‘creator’ and through the interactive internet platform of ‘@kinito ID’ chooses and designs the characteristics and the details of his @kinito, he puts the final touch and thus gives it his Id. Id meaning the visual and design intervention, but also the new mobile lifestyle.He chooses the mobility* (wheels or the base), the form as it unfolds, the plan, the openings (doors and windows), the colors, the patterns and the materials, the accessories and the furnitureHe creates a new way of living, in the site and spot that he chooses and he leaves his mark, his trace. A trace that moves depending on: the needs, the mood and/or the season of the year. Especially in Greece, but not only, somebody has a lot of choices, the sea, the mountain, the city… So, this way we lose the concept of the main house in the city and the country house by the sea or in the mountains, of the hotel or room to let for the holidays, now we have @kinito for any occasion.*In the case that the @kinito gets constructed under a choice that contains ‘wheels’ the way it gets taxed by the Greek (or other) government changes from landed property (akinito or ???????) to movable property (kinito or ??????) – trailer. This is a benefit for its ‘user-creator’ (Landed property tax, hike etc…)
