The Belgian architectural firm dmvA designed the blob VB3, a smooth white structure that resembles a hard boiled egg, as a mobile office for xfactoragencies.Initially, they intended to design an extension for the Xfactoragencies office, but the planned designs were repeatedly rejected by local building regulations. So, they decided to create a 'mobile' office which skirted around the strict building codes.The project took 18 months and the structure is predominantly made of polyester.The egg-like living pod contains a bathroom, a kitchen, interior lighting, a bed and several niches for storage. The nose can be opened automatically and functions as a kind of porch. It is easily transportable and can also be used as an office, guestroom or garden house.Building The Blob:above photos by mick couwenbergh/rini van beek and vercruysse frederikimages and info courtesy of dmvA and Izé.hu project info:blob VB3design: dmvAprincipal: rini van beek/ xfactoragenciesteam: david driesen, tom verschueren, thomas denturcklocation: anywhere/ mobilegeneral contractor: AD&S thomas denturckconstructional engineer: AD&Sbuilt area: 20 m2completion 2009At present, the Blob is being exhibited by the Verbeke Art Foundation as an installation on 30 acres.
