Relaxation Through Separation

Our challenge was to design a mobile residence for 4 hurricane relief workers. Also one component of our design had to be able to rotate, flip, fold-out or transform in some way. The first step in my design was to come up with a concept that reflected hurricance relief and come up with a list of amentities I wanted to include in my shelter bus. I decided to name my bus Weather Proof to show how these hurricane workers are here to help the victims of natural disaters. After creating a list of the basics: bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, entertainment area and sitting area, I decided that my space was shaped around the idea of separation. The kitchen and entertainment area are divided by a curved accent wall and the bedrooms are all private with sliding pocket doors that connect to Jack and Jill bathrooms. There are two levels that each include warm interior wall colors for public spaces and cooler more relaxing colors for the private spaces. Below I have documented my process and final drawings of Weather Proof.
