Project Description

Concept & Innovation BAITHAK exists as a portable business unit that serves itself independently and transforms flexibly according to changing market needs. Treated bamboo's 7 to 12-year lifespan makes the A-frame structure strong. Stainless steel continues to exhibit both hygienic qualities and high durability. The stall can easily move with the support of four wheels and the electric cycle/rickshaw feature for improved mobility capabilities.

Sustainability & Energy Efficiency The infrared solar panels generate sufficient power through both low and bright sunlight conditions. Under the stall, there is a lithium-ion battery system to maintain seamless operations and the stall features lead-acid battery back-up for affordability. An induction cooktop operating at the stall uses less LPG which makes it environmentally friendly alongside a ventilated metal cabinet that keeps backup LPG stove equipment. 

Functionality & User Experience Storage drawers integrated into the design maintain an organized vendor supply while foldable table and bench configurations provide comfortable seating to customers. Solar panels double as sunshades and security locks at night. A bamboo irrigation system with hanging plant plugs serves two purposes - it looks attractive and functions as a passive cooling mechanism. 

Safety & Stability The pavement blocks function as stabilizers which restrain the unit from shifting. Security standards for the ventilated LPG cabinet coincide with additional structural durability made possible by treated bamboo materials.
