Space Age Architectural Elements

Many Avant Garde architects and designers of the 1960s / 70s became fascinated with the idea of minimal living, a secluded retreat, escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relaxation in the middle of nature. Thanks to new pliable materials, plastics, with their free and easy formability, lightness and especially their novelty, they developed micro bungalows and houses as either secondary vacation homes or for use in gardens. Italian developer Carlo Zappa undertook the challenge of designing and producing such a micro bungalow which eventually became commonly known as 'BANGA' .The first models rolled off the production line in 1971 and went through three production phases before production eventually ceased in 1985. Carlo Zappa not only developed the initial project, but personally executed the moulds, construction solutions, all the services detailing ie electrical, plumbing and metal hardware. Zappa's micro bungalow featured a total of 8.1 square meters of floor space. It offered space for up to three people thanks to a bunk bed, which could be folded down as a sofa during the day.

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...
