De Markies – The mobile home

De-Markies-The-Awning-Temporary-Living-Mobile-Home-On-the-road

“De Markies” (The Awning) was an entry in the “Temporary Living” competition 1985 and was conceived as a mobile home. On the road, it measures 2.00 m by 4.50 m, and once it has arrived at its destination its floorspace can be increased threefold in a matter of seconds. “De Markies” was awarded the Public Prize at the Rotterdam Design Prize 1996.

    We just posted and talked about it. See the source link and maybe you can contact the designer through that website.

    Wow… Amazing! Great use of space! But, then again, that fabric looks flimsy.

    I never wanted a camper before until I saw this one. Please let me know how to get one here in the States.

  6. Paul says:

    I don’t know how you can buy one in the states. Maybe you can contact bohtlingk.

    interested in plans and parts you used. Love to modify an existing trailer for this design.
    Very cool and innovative.
