Boxy Stall [2014-24]
Meeting the needs of the fast paced world in which we live in, the Boxy Stall breaks down the barrier between customer and salesperson. By taking the standard cube and allowing the cube to act as both structure as well as a display case for showing items to the customers.
The Boxy Stall utilizes the most amount of space, combined with the ability to transform, as well fitting into any given space, meeting the floor space needs of the salesperson.
Once the Boxy stall is used it can be deconstructed into a cube allowing its movement from one space to the next.
The boxy Stall is designed with the maximum build from from the smallest resting state possible.
Pop box [2014-25]
The aim of the Pop box was to produce a pop up structure that would be of use for the community, which is sustainable and playful. It is a portable shelter/ lounging area that the public can hire to use for extra seating or to take out camping or wherever seating areas are needed. There is also a bench area if you need to prepare food or place your food or drink while you relax on our comfortable seating areas.
The pop box is constructed of four main materials such as steel for the framing and the tow bar, reused timber slates for the interior and exterior walls and seating, corrugated iron for the roofing, and also waterproof tarp material for the extended shelter area. All these materials are reusable and are very low at cost. The Pop box is designed to be easy to set up and store away when not needed. It is compact but when it is folded out it has a lot of space and stands out.
In the future the Pop box will be famous because of New Zealand’s growing population we need extra seating in a lot of places such as courtyards , parks etc. There will always be places that will run out of seating. This pop up could also be modified very easily into a small shop if needed.
Kozy CubeZ [2014-26]
A transportable structure that provides seating to relax in when there is none available. The design of the seat allows the user to sit up or recline by flipping it up or down, and also provides cup holders for both seating positions. It is ideal for places like the beach or at the park where seating can be limited. Potential future uses could be seating for venues such as festivals, or at a playground where parents can relax and watch their kids play.
The chair is easily transported with a trailer, and the boxes are able to slot in and out of the body of the chair so that they can be taken out when being transported and put back in when using it.
The chair will be made from recycled materials such as, timber from recycled pallets for the body/boxes of the chair, and recycled gymnasium foam for the cushions.

Coffee Box [2014-31]
Eco-Juice is a temporary, sustainable juice bar that can suit and pop up in many locations. Recycled plastic bottles give the bar a contemporary, light and airy look that intrigues the eye. Along with recycled glass bottles for the roof and wooden pallets for the back wall and floor; this design is made almost completely out of recycled materials. The compost bin within the back wall of the bar allows for all the fruit waste to be composted. Thus creating a cycle from waste to compost to a soil enrichment to better tasting fruit. From this juice bar customers can not only purchase the fruit and compost, they can also gain priceless knowledge of how recycling and composting/worm farming works.
Amplishelter [2014-34]
Our main goal for our pop up structure was to create something that could be beneficial for a community. With a passion for music we thought this would be a great way to bring people with a common interest together, encouraging social interaction. Our idea was inspired by the conch shell and its natural ability to amplify sound. Our design is a shell-like stage that uses its shape to echo sound, it also has strings and a drum attached to it so the structure itself can be played as an instrument as well as people bringing along their own, i.e. the structure is not only the shelter but the function as well.
It is a rolled out structure, the largest shell rolls back on top of the second and second on top the third. It can then be closed and the third space can be used for storage.
