Add an Additional Room To Your Apartment

Share |

Located between art and architecture, the backpack house is a walk-in sculpture with their own spatial quality: a floating, lighted room, as a temporary scaffolding and a “minimal sculpture” also appears. Universally used as a mini-backpack, this house adds extra space at the front of each residential building attached. The design consists of a welded steel cabin, using steel cables on the roof or on the facade of the existing house is attached. The sculpture consists of a cube-made element with the dimensions width 2.50 m, 2.50 m in height and 3.60 m deep. The height of the top floor of the cube element is approximately 10.50 m, and the total weight of the sculpture is approximately 2.0 t. In conclusion if you want an extra room for your apartment this might be a great idea to take in consideration.

That must be a joke surely, it can’t possibly be legal. What if everyone else in the block wanted one too?

Its hard enough to get landlords to let you install a satellite dish, and that you have a legal right to do. Good luck with the giant box hanging by cables idea.

Great idea, as long as you don’t have enemies, and you don’t stay up nights worrying about who has access to the roof.

The room is also attached with 4 giant bolts, 1 at each corner. Nonetheless, this is awesome! As creative as it is, I would love to see how it is furnished.

For those who mentioned it, thats not a swastika. The swastika is flipped the other way. What is does resemble is an Indian and chinese religious symbol

Hi,

That’s a neat idea, as long as it doesn’t fall.
In terms of exterior aesthetics, it won’t always work.
And of course that in some countries, in less than 10 minutes you’ll be paying a couple of fines and taxes

Only a partial swastika, and yes I would sleep in that sucker every night. And even glass bottom that for the voyeur value.

O wow. It really IS a swastika. HA HA

There is no way a giant hanging swastika could pass addon zoning laws.

I wonder if the neighbors mind having an extra room tacked on above or below them. Furthermore, doesn’t it obstruct views for the other tenants. Plus seems like a waste of money.

Partially inspired by Robert Heinlein’s short story “And he built a crooked house”, perhaps?

Zoning and CC&R laws would never permit this to be viable on a large scale .

Seems like an overinvestment in an apartment. Also of questionable wisdom, structurally speaking.

This is the most brilliant sexy concept I’ve seen in years. I wonder how much red take they have to go through to tack one of these on.
