My chosen/final design (although it still needs work) is the concept of combining transport and the shelter into one. The first version was really conceptual and it aimed to enhance the environment its in with these roots that feed of and spread around moisture and nutrients. The main flaw in this was the interior space had a lack of light, space and ventilation. This second version now has bigger tracks instead of thin wheels and has a big enough interior space to be liveable. The two large windows both open fully to address the previous issues. Although I would agree it still need working on in areas I know about, but unfortunately I don’t have the time so it will have to do for this deadline.

P.S. At the moment the final version lacks a name which I like to add to all my designs. If you have any suggestions or comments about the name, the design or anything – I’d love to hear them!
