(from Roman Mistiuk)
In general terms the Metromorph is aimed to address the evergrowing
troubles of metropolitan cities, specifically parking and real estate
space. As the user gets home the car rides up like an elevator and
becomes a balcony, thus eliminating the hassle of parking and adding
space to the apartment.
In order for that to happen here are the specific features of the
design:
Drivetrain- the vehicle is powered by two in wheel motors placed in
the back. There are two battery cases on the back as well.
Interior- the seats are held by rotating arms which keep the seat
level when the vehicle goes vertical or horizontal. When the vehicle
is a balcony the seats are plased on a rolling base which enables
them to become lounge chairs thus freeing up the interior of the car
to make it a balcony. The interior is also left fairly hollow to
accomidate the balcony mode.
Exterior- the car is designed to not look like a car vertically
mounted to a building and still look like a vehicle when its on the
road. So the wheels are concealed toward the inside. Rather than go
vertically llike many scissor doors today metromorphs arms rotate
closely around the vehicle allowing the doors to freely open in a
cramped area like a garage.
