Home is not simply a house, but rather the dwellers’ experiences in it, their memories and spaciously their personal belongings. The things we carry is a project that exam-ines the questions of what makes a house a home and how in the essential structure the temporarily character of a shelter can be overcome and one can experience the true comfort and hospitality of a real home. We create a shelter with a soul, or more-over with the soul of its user - a space where the users place their belongings in a grid structure and the belongings themselves are the ones shaping the environment. In that way the shelter has di�erent character depending on the identity of each dweller.

The shelter occupies exactly 10sqm with its 2.5 by 4.0 meters size. The space is designed with maximum flexibility and usability. The first level, while closed, is be devided into two zones with di�erent characters - one more spacious, with a high ceiling of 3.1 meters and another more secluded one that can be used for hosting two more people in case of neccessity. In that way the shelter can host a total number of four people, while still providing additional functions. The feeling of openess is advanced by the 360° open view. In that way the interior expands in the surroundings, providing high quality living conditions, occupying minimum site area. When opened, the first level is rather fluid and multifunctional. It can serve as an open platform for the interests of the user, hosting di�erent activities – art fair, exhibition space, open bar, bookswapping, library, second-hand shop, etc. The second semi-level is the private area of the shelter, where the double bed is placed. It is all closed to the outside, creating a feeling of protection and comfort.

The structure is consisted of six timber frames with the size of 2.5 by 3.3 meters, connected with horizontal beams. The used profile is 5x30cm, providing space for the interior shelves as well as for the mobility system below. The cover in the solid parts is made by plywood panels, while in the transparent part – with plastic sheets. The whole structure is carried on six twenty-centimeters wheels, partially covered by the plywood sheets. The timber was chosen as main material as it answers the sustainabil-ity goals, while
