BENCHOUSE by stefano colombo from italy

The idea is to give to homeless an equipment resistant at the atmospheric agents like the equipments normally used by mountain climbers, adapting these materials for a citizen living.

We choose the more used thing in the citizen parks: THE BENCH.
This is a very good structure for his dimensional quality and the position from the ground, but always fixed in open spaces and exposed to weather conditions.
We projected a covered tension structure that we define “home space”.
A mobile structure, (easy to be assembled/disassembled) placed into a supermarket cart ( two wheels moved) that follows homeless everywhere.
THE BENCH HOUSE will be attended by local voluntary people, and composed by:
- a fireless tension structure with transparent walls and door, protected by mosquito net.
- A sleeping bags (-5 Celsius degree).
- Internal lighting system with a battery lamp, manually chargeable.
- A two wheels moved cart containing everything.
