An Aloof Loop

Tiny House Volume Zero Competition

“AN ALOOF LOOP”. Distant home standing still as a photographer’s residence, located amidst the forest. The full-length rectangular block sits on the jack trailer which adds mobility to the project. The precedent is carefully selected looking to all the potentials of the area. The selected site is on an unused forest land which has a linkage to major landmarks: statue of unity and sardar sarovar dam and many other nearby attractive spots. The design follows one continuous band of steel frame creating a “loop”, around the volume of living spaces which offers more flexible way to live.
