5 key facts about this project
The project includes three distinct iterations: Traveler 1.0, which is designed to hover above water bodies like the Thames in London; Traveler 2.0, intended to float alongside alpine lakes; and Traveler 3.0, which utilizes urban rooftops. Each variation of the design offers unique characteristics while addressing common challenges in contemporary housing.
Unique Structural and Functional Elements
The Traveler project emphasizes a lightweight structural framework constructed from Kingspan's insulated QuadCore AWIP LEC panels and PIR sandwich panels. This choice enhances mobility without compromising structural integrity. The floating mechanism in Traveler 2.0 involves dual floaters made from solid Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) and reinforced with a polyurethanic coating, ensuring resilience against environmental forces.
Another distinctive feature is the integration of renewable energy solutions. Each unit is equipped with solar panels to promote energy neutrality. This is essential for sustaining the mobile architecture's functionality in various settings. The inclusion of electric motors highlights the innovative propulsion system, allowing for easy relocation between sites.
Versatile Interior Design and Smart Functionality
The interior layout of the Traveler project adopts a multi-functional approach. Furniture is designed to serve multiple purposes, allowing residents to adapt their living spaces according to their needs. The design incorporates efficient use of space with features such as advanced wastewater management systems and hidden water tanks, all crafted to optimize functionality without sacrificing comfort.
The aesthetic choices made in the Traveler project align with its functional elements. The use of clear polycarbonate glazing and skylights ensures natural light permeates the interior while providing visual connection to the outside environment. The focus on a clean and industrial design ethos further emphasizes the project’s role in modern mobile living solutions.
Overall, the Traveler project stands apart due to its thoughtful integration of mobility, sustainability, and adaptable living spaces. This approach addresses the diverse needs of contemporary lifestyles while minimizing environmental impact.
