Minima - Final Design

My Minima developed from the idea of transportable accommodation, thus a caravan. Once I had this idea in my head, I found it hard to shake it, so all my ideas were pretty similar. I then looked as ways to try and demount and minimise my space and developed the idea of a box inside a box, that would create more floor area by pulling apart. In the end it worked better my cutting the outer shell in half and having each section slide out from the inner shell.

All shells were to be constructed from high strength plastic and the interior amenities box to be made from fibreglass. The layout of furniture and fixtures inside would involve a core unit (the fixed bench) from which the desk, coffee table and lounge could be stored and pulled out when required. The bed would be suspended above and could more from side to side depending on what was happening. The kitchen would also be contained in this bench.

The final design was very simple.
