The design offers sustainable, multifunctional spaces suitable for the dynamic lifestyles of mobile nomads. It is not only a shelter, but also a versatile space that can be used for social and recreational purposes. Two main elements are proposed: modules and stations where modules are articulated and basic needs are met. People can live individually or in groups by building their modules, and when they need to, they can join the stations, which are sparse in the region.
The unit’s modular structure of equilateral triangles is easy to transport and quick to assemble. Double-layered and collapsible frames come together to form the module. Lightweight, sustainable materials (recycled aluminum, UV-protected fabric, foldable solar panels, moisture-wicking Tencel and heat-reflective materials) increase portability and adapt to nature, different topographical and climatic conditions. Users can design their own modules with frame units made of different materials according to their needs.
A station design is exemplified, including common areas such as laundry, kitchen and bathroom. Gray water recycling and water filtration systems support sustainability. This design reshapes both the individual and collective living experiences of mobile nomads, offering a life integrated with nature.
