shelter in a cart _ BOX CART

The main idea was to create an easily mobile cart design that can provide shelter and storage to urban homeless.

Design composition is made of empty, water proof, open able, boxes, generally based on advanced foam plastics (4+1, 50x80x40cm) with a free storage space (for bottles, cardboards and possessions).

Boxes can be made in different colors and they are easy to attach-detach, connected via plug-in or plug-in and elbow system (ability to rotate).

Cart is transformable in to an armchair with table or in to a bed (200x80cm) and after, packing away tidily.

It also provides weather protection to user by flat plastic bands construction and water proof screen.

The concept supplies owner with the way to collect some extra finance (not only collecting goods for recyclers), a free space (boxes surface) to advertise different brands and houses.

Box-cart satisfies all modern urban functional (multi-functionality) and design(clean innovative form) requests. It’s easy for use (with elements that can easily be assembled and taken apart) and affordable for production (plastic elements).

The box-shelter is a practical proposal that might be used to solve homeless problems in many parts of the world.
