The project is composed by two elements: a light edition camper van – ideally a Volvo –; and a shared cabin network meant to be set up at different locations. The Local Project aims to make possible a balanced life between urban and rural life.
The camper has a luxurious double bed at the back that can conveniently flip to create an office space. This is a single room on wheels – “embodying the Volvo mission of freedom to move” – but it keeps the inhabitants connected to the city even if they move from home to a Local Project cabin in the middle of nature.
