About Accordio Doheem fir Hausdéieren

Accordio ass en transportabelt Hausdéiere-Haus aus Silikon. De liichte Kierper klappt sech wéi en Akkordeon zesummen, sou datt d'Haus einfach bei Aktivitéiten dobaussen an op Reesen kann transportéiert ginn. D'Silikon-Uewerfläch ass einfach ze botzen. Wann een op béid Säiten dréckt, gëtt d'Haus op ee Sechstel vu senger vollstänneger Gréisst zesummegedréckt. Aacht verstäerkte magnéitesch Rahmen suergen fir strukturell Stabilitéit an halen déi zesummegeklappte Form zesummen, sou datt si flaach a kompakt bleift. En Textilkëssen pass an d'zesummegeklappt Haus era fir en einfachen Transport.

Tags: Pet House, Collapsible Pet House, Accordion House
Production Technology: Accordio is made with silicone. Each magnetic frame (a total of 8) is reinforced for structural stability. Once collapsed, these frames adhere each other and keep it compact and portable.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was how to keep accordio in a flattened shape when it is collapsed. Several ways were explored such as snap buttons, strap and etc. Amongst them, magnetic frames were chosen to be an ideal solution as they could provide structural stability as well as visual clarity.
Research: Accordio is a design study about portable pet houses. The design explores the use of silicone for pet housing. The light-weighted and safe nature of silicone provides many potentials for a portable pet house.
Inspiration: Accordio was first inspired by my niece's silicone bowl plate. I was intrigued by its flexibility and portability. After some research, I found that silicone also has a fascinating collapsible feature, which was later adopted into a foldable house.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2020 in Calgary, Canada and finished in July 2020 in Banff, Canada.
Operation Flow: This silicone house can be compressed in a 1/6 size by pushing both sides. A fabric cushion can be conveniently fit into the collapsed form for portability.
