URBAN NOMAD FLATS / home-sharing system
This project makes a new, now not existing lifestyle real. The resident of the urban shelter lives in the roof zone of the cities, in a calm, unusual environment. Elevated from the city rush as a partly outsider, but still as resident of the downtown.
Furniture-building:
The live-in capsules create a new genre both as the furniture hidden above the city, and as a way of the property extension. Behind the apartment function, it can be installed for many other purposes: such as a sauna, look-out, guest room or as a part of a hostel network.
Solid timber panel construction:
The construction can be easily prefabricated and installed to the site. By it’s frame construction, it can be transported cheap without the aid of a crane, moving and reinstalling can be done easily and cheap too.
Renewable basic material and renewed building scene:
The wood is indispensable in our present’s environment-aware architecture. Renewable material with constant supplement. After it’s attrition wood can be used as renewed energy supply.
By using the unused zone of the cities it takes it’s user and the world of the roofs to a new perspective.
The construction not requires installing new infrastructures, it can be connected to the ones in place (water and sewer system), and reusable (wood burning stove) or alternative (solar panels) energy sources.
Home-sharing system:
It can be used through an application, Uurban nomad flats could be followed, rented or reserved online. The term of the residence depends on the user or other reserves.
