Kevin Cyr recognizes that although some people choose to construct tiny houses out of a deep love for the environment, hundreds of thousands of people around the world don’t have the resources to build their own home – no matter how small it is. It weighs very little, features mesh walls that allow the tent to breathe and it folds down into a wooden box made of what appear to be recycled pieces of wood.
This inconspicuous intervention makes the the cart look very uninteresting to passersby and could well avert would-be thieves. We’re not sure how folks with no home could get their hands on one of these, except through sponsors or charity programs, but it looks significantly more comfortable than a cardboard box.

how about just giving them a tent for their existing shopping cart. cheaper and a heck of a lot more portable. easier to hide in the bushes being low to the ground. most homeless keep a small profile, let alone the added weight to push around.
I think this should be considered high art rather than a serious design.
Just need to give it an inflatable boat in case of an water world apocalypse scenario and that’d be cool
Kinda kool, kinda kitsche, kinda tippy and definitely perpetuating a politically incorrect stereotype(the irony of which I like).
It looks like a tipping hazard even without considering a strong breeze. Being top heavy with such a narrow footprint it would be prone to accidental & on purpose pedestrian tipping (the new urban cow tipping!)and could use some outriggers(a potential pedestrian tripping hazard).
Definitely needs the touch of a good architect and industrial designer to get it out of the novelty zone. I still dig the concept.- Bradley D Boltz, almostaArchitect!
