Perched between art and architecture, form and function the »Rucksack House« is a walk-in sculpture with its own spatial quality, a hovering illuminated space that looks like a cross between temporary scaffolding and “minimal sculpture”.
As mobile as a rucksack, this mini-house is intended to be an additional room that, with the help of steel cables, can be suspended from the façade of any residential building and can be taken along when the owners decide to move to a new home.
Nine square meter in size, the suspended live-in box (1,6 to) is built as a welded steel cage with a light birch veneered plywood as an inside cladding. The outside cladding of the Rucksack House is made from exterior grade plywood with an absorbent resin surface and punctuated by Plexiglas inserts. Its overall measurements are 250×360 x 250 cm.
