MOBILE HOUSE. ALBERTO ROSSELLI.This mobile environment is a lightweight capsule, expandable in four directions by means of telescoping runners, hinged floors and accordion walls. The surface of this environment, upon opening, is (including the terrace) over four times larger than in its closed, transportable condition. Each of the four walls is movable outward and forms the outer surface of a differing function: 1) double bunk beds, 2) wardrobe, 3) terrace (the wall Itself folding down to form a terrace), 4) bathroom and kitchen. The dapsule is carried by a small vehicle which, when the capsule is on the ground» may hi used independently by the family. The designer has satisfied one of the requirements, which was that he design a mobile element that could form part of a present house, for example, by fitting in the garage of any suburban home, or by being an element which could be hoisted onto a high-rise structure and contribute its bathroom and kitchen functions to those of the apartment's sleeping units. Material: aluminum shell, carpeting, upholstered elements Color: aluminum, blue, grey
