here we offer one of 2 bangas, with light grey interior. the second one with black interior is offered in another listing. a banga shows ways in which we could live more sustainably, resource-efficiently and minimally – whether in the city on previously empty roofs or in the countryside to make better use of large plots of land. whether as a guest room in the garden or as a vacation home at the lake: a banga usually doesn’t need a building permit, because its floor area remains under 10m² (but beware: in nature reserves or conservation areas other rules may apply, of course!) and as a design object in a very small edition, the banga – in contrast to the diy store hut – rather doesn’t suffer from loss of value. - design & development: carlo zappa, milan - trademark / patent: no. 23306 b/71 and no. 30719 a/71 - construction period: first series 1971 to 1974 - last distribution: bungalows international srl, milan - complete restoration: 2022 - external dimensions : wxlxh 3,24m x 3,24m x 2,80m - floor space: 8,1m² - weight: approx. 850 kg - walls: 2-layers of 2,5mm fiber sprayed grp sheets - floor: osb wood-based panel on wooden beams on stainless steel profiles - insulation: 20mm rock wool/ pur insulation - windows: 4 x round sliding glass + grp sliding shutters - doors: double walled glass fiber reinforced polyester resin (2 mms each) - edgings: partly aluminum / stainless steel piping - interior: grp, spray paint high gloss white ral 9016 - restauration: documentation available facilities: living room-bedroom - 2 sofas that can be converted into 4 beds - 4 new cushions / mattresses (covered in a light grey or black fabric) - many niches, shelves and cupboards - 2 integrated architectural lights made of translucent grp - ‘norament’ 926 rubber studded floor (black) - induction floor heating - ‘redwell’ infrared radiant heating (power 400w) - natural ventilation system, manually adjustable with wooden sliders - and of course a banga pillow and 2 sleeping masks are included kitchenette - sink with ‘hansanova style’ standing faucet and ‘grohe therm cosmopolitan’ two-handle grips - flow-type calorifier (up to 60℃ / 140℉) for sink, shower and washbasin - 1 double socket under the sink bathroom - completely separated from the living room - sink, shower, toilet, even the waste pipe is made of grp - slip shower head for sink and shower - ‘uten_silo’ wall container...
