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.

    Now there’s an interesting design lol. I’d prefer to take some stairs out of the roof of a top floor apartment and build an addition up there though ;-)

    What this seems like a cool idea- But it does not look safe or very appealing
    I dont the Strata would approve of this type of addition in my building.
    Plus I would propbably not like it if my neighbors would put these up.

    Hi, this looks a great solution, some of our apartments in Prague are small studios and this “additional room” could be a great solution.

    First of all, it doesn’t have a swatika shape. It is similar, true, but you’re just jumping to conclusions.

    Secondly, Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. An ancient symbol, it occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif and sometimes as a religious symbol. It has long been widely used in major world religions such as Hinduism, Roman Catholicism, Buddhism and Jainism.

    It saddens me that once a single negative stigma is attached to an item, people choose to only see that one reference and nothing else. It speaks poorly of our entire society that many people cannot mature past that reference.

    Other than it looks like a parasite growing from the building
    and its designer needs to clean the screen on his crack pipe
    I don’t have a problem with it.

    Oh my, I wouldn’t let even let my cat risk it’s life in that nazi doom chamber! Unless I lived on the first floor or something. But something tells me that if it was on the 1st floor, the swastika might be something of an issue with the neighborhood folks.

    If you need more room in your apartment you could always get one of those bunkbeds with the bed on top and desk/storage underneath. Voilà! Of course, I wouldn’t want to be under either one if they came crashing down on top of me.
