Designed
by People’s Architecture Office (PAO) + People’s IndustrialDesign Office (PIDO), the Tricycle House and Tricyle Garden was
designed to address borderline situation of property laws in China,
most of the city people have to accept that they will never be able
to own even a small piece of land. Urban society is forced to find
unconventional ways if they want to have some more private space.
"The inability to own land is a fundamental condition in China
unique from many western countries. The Tricycle House suggests a
future where the temporary relationship and the public nature between
people the the land they occupy is embraced."
They
create a world where you can sleep, bathe, and eat food from your
garden, all from the comforts of your own … tricycle. With this
innovative concept, the architects surmise that, "Single homes
can be affordable and sustainable, parking lots are not wasted at
night, and traffic jams are acceptable."
The
Tricycle House is relies on human power only, allowing people to
live off the grid, with amenities that include a sink, stove,
bathtub, water tank, and furniture. Made from a new, experimental
form of folding plastic, the house can either open up to the outside,
expand out like an accordion to increase space, or connect to other
houses. The polypropylene material it’s resilient, easy to shape
and fold without losing its strength and is translucent so the
interior is always well lit whether by the sun during the day or
street lamps at night.
The
Tricycle Garden can be attached to the house or it can be combined
with other gardens to form a large public green space. The front of
the garden doubles as tricycle seating in order to maximize grown
space, that can be planted with not only grass but plants and
vegetables.
You'd
just need a good spot to park it!
