House Design Comes to You: The Caravan Office Trend
No need to chase designers to get your house
built; the trend now is for designers and their offices to arrive at your plot
in a caravan.
The caravan is
equipped with all the facilities of a designer’s office, bathroom, multipurpose
bed, and essential kitchen utilities. Homeowners can view their plot and share
their ideas with the designer all in one place.
Usually, people
who want to build a house have to visit an architect, engineer, or designer at
their office. But why not have the designer come to you? In an era when humans
are starting to live on the moon, there’s nothing surprising about this. Kumar
and Kumar Designers and Builders, a construction company in Thodupuzha, has
introduced the unique concept of an office on wheels, a caravan-based office.
According to
Anoop Kumar, the lead designer at Kumar and Kumar, there’s more to this idea
than just being different. For expatriate Malayalis and busy individuals who
want a new home, time is often a constraint. Visiting a designer or architect
and discussing their project within a fixed timeframe can be difficult. Having
the designer come to them in a caravan provides immense convenience.
The caravan
allows the whole family, including elderly members, to share all their dreams
and ideas with the design team. One common concern is where families can
discuss their home ideas when visiting the plot. The caravan solves this
problem by providing a comfortable space to talk and even prepare preliminary
plans on the spot if needed.
All the
facilities of a regular office are available in the caravan. It even has enough
space for a large family to sit, along with a bathroom. Additionally, it comes
equipped with essential amenities like a TV, refrigerator, and oven. For longer
site visits, there are multipurpose beds that can be used for resting.
Beyond personal
convenience, the underlying idea behind the “Office on Wheels” is how a caravan
can be utilized to its fullest potential. This initiative is set to mark the
beginning of a new trend in design.
