The smooth gently curved exterior creates an aerodynamic shape, greatly reducing the drag coefficient. There is complete unity between the inside and outside. No attempt is made to imitate the home, but rather to create a totally new, minimal high performance environment. Solar cells mounted on the curved roof generate enough electricity to service the caravan. Entry into the caravan is through a curved glazed hinged panel which forms a canopy over a temporary terrace when in the open position.   Client Manufacturer Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney Coromal Caravans + Vikal Boats
