9-BOX

thingiverse

9-BOX is an artistic concept that serves multiple purposes. Initially designed as a simple, low-cost housing unit for homeless individuals, it offers basic protection from the elements while maintaining ease of upkeep and affordability. The cylindrical structure is angled for effortless water drainage after cleaning with soap and water. 9-BOX modules can be crafted from any durable material, such as those resistant to water, fire, temperature fluctuations, or dust. Frames are constructed from sturdy load-bearing materials, while insulation and central heating can be added inside the box for enhanced comfort. Convenient features like small rubber, metal, or wooden footrests, ladders, and handlebars can be incorporated (not included in the standard module). When scaled to human size, 9-BOX units provide a cost-effective alternative to hotel rooms and apartment subleases. Customizable colors and textures are available, allowing users to personalize their space according to preference.
