#1 Prologue : Compact ecosystem

As a fun project, I wanted to emphasize a new space by organic form. The structure, connected like a root, serves as a shelter for an increasing number of single users. In addition, space can be utilized in various forms depending on user's behavioral patterns. This is a 'compact ecosystem' where users, their pets, and objects live.

#3 Bud and Bloom

With various functions from table to printer, 'Circle' delivers different spaces to the user as the height changes. In 'bud' mode, this part stays down and creates a pit space. It becomes a comfortable place to put your luggage and a stable space for small pets. In 'Bloom' mode, where the part is raised, the role changes to a table and mood light. Users can move to the upper space and enjoy their own leisure time. There is also a printing function at the top of the part, so you can take pictures of the moments you spent with the vehicle along the way. Pictures with memories can be stored like fallen leaves in the storage box at the bottom.
