The back plate is routed in from behind the wall, the front plate attaches and rubber pad finishes of to create the basic grid. The construction pole is then attached to take shelves or other steel parts
The Flexible Module System consists of several different parts to maximize the usage options of display. shelves with oak frames are pushed over the construction poles and locked. The locks picks up the hanging rails.

Flagstore in Covent Garden
BRIEF: The Clients wanted a complete redesign of their shop in Covent Garden. The trendy semi expensive clothing collections demanded a perfect setting that not only reflected the items but also the customers. The choice of solid oak shelves combined with rubber skirtings and raw key-clamp systems with glass shelves. A white resin floor is used on both floors. A problem that needed to be solved was the flow tp the lower ground floor that under the existing cicumstances did not prove well. The introduction of a dobbelt high “staple� drags the eye and the customer downstairs and connects the two floors.

Living unit For the Urban Nomad
BRIEF: The constant need for housing in London and identifying a specific demografic group that is recognised as Urban Nomads. The Urban Nomad
7,4 million live in London It is estimated that the number of inhabitants in London will increase with 810,000 by 2016 There are 3,100,000 dwellings in London
500,000 new dwellings to be build within the next 10 years. it is estimated that the number single dwellings is 290.000 40 % of new dwellings to be build on empty sites
What if we could meet the need earlier and use the existing empty sites now
Motivation and background
... and create temporary dwellings for temporary tenants
We could prefabricate a 30 foot ISO container complete with interior, that could be placed and plugged in on an empty site. When building work would start on the site the mobile dwellings could be moved to a different site.

The ISO container as a living unit.
Using the ISO shipping container as a building component is not a new idea neither is prefabrication. The idea here however is to combine the two and as the container is a moveble object it serves perfect for the concept at hand.
The core acts as Kitchen, bathroom, storage and conceals all internal service connections The intergrated bed/daybed can be stored away to make
space for alternate use of main living area space for alternate use of main living area
