Comments on: Rucksack House http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/06/rucksack-house/ At last I had mastered the low art of coming unmoored. -- Joe Androe Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:15:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Judith Abraham http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/06/rucksack-house/comment-page-1/#comment-1309 Judith Abraham Sat, 11 Jul 2009 11:12:33 +0000 http://www.comingunmoored.com/?p=2225#comment-1309 Mmm not so sure about this. As a Londoner I can see several constraints. For example neighbours would object to the two steels holding the structure. Their views from their windows would be restricted. There may be "right to light" concerns/ restricted views for the neighbours on either side also. The glass panels are a lovely concept, but in a small space it can be difficult in terms of furniture placement and much needed use of wall space. So in reality it doesn't really work so well. The LuxPod has been described as a bird's nest perched atop of a building. It took almost two years of planning applications to get it passed. But it is a self contained studio. As an extra room the Rucksack would be interesting just to sit in and listen to music. Mmm not so sure about this. As a Londoner I can see several constraints.

We never stop to think why a certain thing has to be the way it is. I guess that is where these guys are different. They think outside the box. A series of ‘what if’ questions run through their mind I guess. A novel way to think everyday. What if …? Visit http://climatarians.org.

Still very impressed with Eberstadt's thinking Love the look and the concept, but it doesn’t look very easy to sling this rucksack over your buildings shoulder.
