'ascension paysagère' comprises two curving buildings, one large and one small, with gradually receding slopes.
the size, height, and position of the tents were determined by 3D scans of the surrounding natural environment.

with the goal of providing temporary and portable housing in india, designer arun prabhu n g presents the SOLO 01 concept. built on the back of a 3 wheeled auto rickshaw, the compact 6 x 6ft space contains all the necessary amenities for an individual to live. envisioned for the likes of an artist, traveler, homeless person, or even a small scale vendor, the project offers an affordable lifestyle alternative to modern nomads and societal groups under the poverty line. alternatively, the design could also offer emergency shelter during any natural disasters.
the structure includes both a residence and commercial space. the plan is open and flexible, and incorporates all the necessary functions, like kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, toilet, foyer, terrace area and also additional space for a sales vendor. the kitchen, bathtub, toilet, foyer and living area are located on the lowere level, while the sleeping area and workspace are on the mezzanine level at 3.5ft. there is also a solar panel (600w), a water tank (250ltrs) and a lounge space with shade in the terrace.
SOLO 01 utilizes reclaimed materials, such as scrap metal that had been thrown away from old buses and demolished buildings. due to the use of these materials, the construction cost has been vastly reduced. the golden yellow aesthetic was chosen to harmonize with the color of commercial vehicles in india. the interiors are kept as minimal as possible, with earthy tones, muted colors, and monochromatic shades used to decorate the space. additionally, due to the compact size, the house is designed with various nooks and crannies, all perfectly designed for their purpose.
the structure blends with the environment thanks to the openings, which blur the line between indoor and outdoor. SOLO 01 is properly ventilated throughout and built to tackle many constraints such as topography, material, aesthetics and weight balance. the structure is fixed with just 6 bolts to the vehicle which can be easily unscrewed and kept at a specific site for a period of time or fixed to any other vehicle. this detachable feature makes the structure more efficient for various circumstances.

I think that is very creative and cool. It would be neat to camp in that. One might have to take back roads and avoid major ones but I don't think that would be a problem.

Gotta love that it was cobbled together out of salvage pieces. Well-executed. But that bed, at 6 feet/72 inches would be very tight for westerners.

We've often wondered just how small you can really go when designing a tiny living space and the Solo 01 might be the answer. Designed by India's The Billboards Collective, the prototype project is a rickshaw-based micro-house that measures just 6 x 6 ft (1.8 x 1.8 m).
Bringing to mind the Elektro Frosch Pro , the Solo 01 is conceived as a micro-house, though you could just as reasonably call it a camper. It consists of a removable living area constructed from scrap metal that's bolted onto a typical three-wheeled rickshaw.
"It is a utilitarian design of a compact 6 x 6 ft space into a portable/detachable housing at the back of a 3 wheeler auto rickshaw that can accommodate a solo individual like an artist, traveler, homeless people or even a small scale vendor," says architect Arun Prabhu N G.
An impressive number of features have been shoehorned into that tiny interior. The first floor, such as it is, includes storage space, a kitchenette, a toilet, and even a tiny bathtub. The mezzanine area hosts a bed and a little laptop table.
Back outside, a small drop-down porch area can display goods if used by a vendor, while clothes can be hung on an extendable rack. The rooftop is accessed by a ladder and sports a small terrace seating area and an umbrella.
Though not specified, we'd assume that the rickshaw used as the basis for the Solo 01 build is not electric drive, though there is a solar panel installed for power needs. The micro-home also includes a water tank.
There might be issues with weight and stability in the wind, or even in tight turns, but these won't really be a concern as it was created to promote small-scale architecture and there are currently no plans to make it commercially available. This one is best taken for what is is: a fun and creative little project.
"Though unspoken about, small scale architecture is the most relevant in India and is often scrutinized for being underutilized in terms of space," adds the firm. "Our vision is to shine a light on how to constantly improve the way of life of people around us without space or budget as parameters. Solo 01 is our first step towards achieving that goal concentrating on temporary and portable housing concepts in India."
