In this example, we study the
possibility of adapting a BMAS Capsule as a Stand-alone, to be used for example
as a movable observing or guarding post.
Such a BC could also be installed
in someone’s (existing or specially built) home or garden (as an “appendix” to
the house or self standing), where it could be used as a bedroom/studio for
visiting friends. It could also be built in as an integral part of a Mobile Home
or attached to one.
Such a “temporary” building would
probably not require a building permit, especially if it is mounted on wheels.
One could imagine for example a
standard 8’ twin BC or an “extended” 8’ twin (i.e. similar to the one
presented under the Shelter application presented hereunder).
This BC would be tractable, thanks
to removable wheels, and could be installed properly on a non-flat spot, thanks
to adjustable legs.
Access to the BC would be done
from the back, which would be fitted with a door (which would imply the
moving of the sink out of the way) and a few steps.
The cover and the balcony could be
foldable when the “Observer” s not in use.
Possibly, the height of the BC
could be that of a HiCube container, to allow for the deployment and storage of
some equipment, such as foldable solar and rainwater collection panels, a
satellite dish, etc.
Other equipment possibly required
for the BC, such as an electricity generator, an A/C aggregate, etc. could
possibly be carried on an accompanying trailer.
In such cases, BCs would need to
be manufactured and supplied as independent units, not in modules (but still
deliverable on flat bed trucks).
