I saw the idea "New York City Camping" and I just had to elaborate on the idea.
With this idea I added two main concepts.
1. The "Hill" or "Hills". The hills are two 12" memory foam pads that are placed on the floor underneath the 1-1/2" fake grass. Long grass, not the stuff on a mini golf course. The foam pad that curves and then plateaus creates a very comfortable ultra minimalistic sleeping surface.
2. The Fire. The fire is the central focal point for the apartment. You sit around it, sleep around it and just enjoy it. Believe it or not it IS the main heating source. How is this possible? A fan located directly above recirculates the heated air through the apartment. Want it colder? Turn the fire down. The fire is controlled with a home automation center. Of course it also provides a significant amount of light the apartment needs. You can even cook some meals with it. Want a Tofu Dog?
I also added the foyer, bathroom and office from my last design. Luxury and comfort.
One thing I would say is lacking right now is the storage. There is only one storage module to the right of the kitchen.
Oh, and the kitchen. That is located in the tall cabinets. I believe that is enough room for it. I didn't have enough time to render it.
Like "New York City Camping" this is all about creating an atmosphere of being outside of the city. Faux Camping. But is it faux camping? The mind is a powerful thing when thought becomes fanciful.
I threw this together in two hours so don't expect perfection. It was just a fun project I threw together before the end of the competition.
Ultra Minimalism. What is more green than that?
Life Edited
cool design, could you combine fire and shower?
...time is not a measure of perfection, my friend! ;)
Now you're thinkin' like Frank Lloyd Wright! The hearth hearkens once more. (Maybe you could make the "fire" a table pc.. You know, where the surface of the table is a touch screen.) Maybe you could incorporate some micosoft kinect hacks in here somewhere.

very minimalistic and fabulous idea. hidden nature inside the concrete jungle just like the central park.
- you got some great feng shui going on in here
- well balance of the five elements
- like cmaping.
- GREAT! this time i don't have to use portable toilets.
- really love the rail for the UMI.
instead of having the celling look like a starry night, you should use one of those milky way night light projector.
i love it !
True, a projection would be more realistic to LED lighting. With a certain IPAD program it could even project exactly what's above you in the sky!
I can see the appeal, and actually fulfills all the criteria of the competition in a very whimsical manner. A nice counterpoint to your other submissions, nice to see the evolution of thought. Wish I'd gotten started earlier so I could have put out my fanciful submission also.
I'd like to watch the roomba try and vacuum that grass!
It's nice to see a submissin from you. Thanks, saw the camping submission from someone and ran with it. It was my diversion last night.
Really, the firplace could be integrated in smaller form into the AL design. Too late now I guess!
Sustainability is not about putting flowers into your apartment and it's not about singing songs:) Joke. All the best Zerooks!
i had a dream living in your "urban fire" last night. i still think this idea is one of the most interesting!
I was thinking about that fire while I was in bed last night. The ambience that it would create would be amazing.
The romance and nostalgia of fire.
We are getting really philosophical here.
There are a lot of entries that are simply novel and fun. Some of which would be excellent ideas for daily/weekly apartment rentals, such as this one.
Good luck, Finn.
A fairly radical idea of living in nature within the city. It would nice to see this idea develop further. Is living in nature really about campfires, or could it be about being a part of nature's systems? Here is a project done by some students done at the Ecole in Paris about a Phytokitchen where the wastewater is used to water the plants:

On another note, renderings do not have to made with V-RAY or other high-end products, but there are some cool things you can do within Sketch-Up to make better renderings. I would play around with styles and shadows in Sketch-Up. Just by eliminating the depth-cue and corners, the lines would appear much lighter and the renderings would look much cleaner. Also, you could take a view from Sketch-Up and add materials through Photoshop. I hate to harp on such a little detail in the project, but it might be something to consider for future projects.
One thing I would state is deficient with regards to right currently is the capacity. There is just a single stockpiling module to one side of the kitchen. after all, you must clean your surroundings. Commercial cleaning Brisbane help you for cleaning services.

I don't really understand anything they discussed here. how to find a wrongful death attorney I have read about the article you have added here. I think it is something related to timeshare. You have presented it very well but it content is not that much reflective. Hope you will take this into account.
