The Metromorph concept is designed to face the evergrowing issues of metropolitan cities.

When the user is home the vehicle becomes a balcony thus addressing parking restraints and real estate value.

There are some specific features that have been attributed to the Metromorph, to make it a viable concept, Yanko Design reports.

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 placed 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 accommodate 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 it’s on the road.

So the wheels are concealed toward the inside. Rather than go vertically like many scissor doors today Metromorphs’ arms rotate closely around the vehicle allowing the doors to freely open in a cramped area like a garage.
