Fabricated from a single 8’ x 20’ shipping container, Bark Design Collective’s All Terrain Cabin allows a family of four people plus a pet to live on or off the grid. In the closed position, the cabin maintains its shipping container appearance, easily transportable from one site to another via rail, truck, ship, airplane or helicopter.
Once on site, the two twenty foot side walls unfold to create a total of 480 square feet of living space including an open air deck on one side and bedroom/living space on the other. These spaces flank the “technological nucleus” of the container that include the kitchen/dining and bathroom areas. The deck is separated from the main space by glass window and door openings while the living/bedroom space is contained underneath a tent.
The ATC is principally constructed using aluminum, wood and glass. Other green features of the ATC include solar panels, a generator that runs on biodiesel fuel, composting toilets, a facility for the re-use of grey water and a rainwater collector. Designed and fabricated to highlight Canadian design ingenuity, the ATC is furnished with Canadian products.
