The Mobile Dome is a product designed to help homeless people with their day to day lives. The premise behind the design is shopping cart and homeless shelter reimagined. When on the go, the Mobile Dome becomes akin to a shopping cart. It rolls on wheels and is able to fit through standard doors while giving ample storage space for food, bedding, and other belongings. In its mobile form, the Mobile Dome has a lockable latch and a sealed covering, ensuring belongings don't get wet, damaged, or stolen. At night, or when the user wants to rest, the Mobile Dome easily turns into a spacious sleeping area - very similar to a tent. Two solid, plywood shells slide out of each other to form the structure, and then a breathable, rain cover easily velcros on, creating a dome, tent like sleeping shelter.

The Mobile Dome has use beyond just assisting the homeless. The product is very adaptable, and with a simple change of wheels, it  can be used for all kinds of recreation purposes, such as the beach, camping, or snowsports. It can even be used at home for the kids! With a product so versatile as the Mobile Dome, there are infinite uses.

The Mobile Dome structure was created using inexpensive ¼’’ and ½’’ plywood sheets. A laser cutter was used to cut small, alternating lines to allow the plywood sheets to bend more easily. The sheets were then glued & nailed together and bent into the curve. It is quite spacious in the Mobile Dome, but surprisingly, the whole structure is only 32’’ wide, allowing it to fit through doorways with ease. With a relatively low material cost, the product will be quite affordable when produced on a large scale.
