"HomeBox is a smart storage solution developed to address the growing issues of package theft, weather damage, and delivery mismanagement in residential settings. The project aims to merge durability, security, and connectivity into a single, unobtrusive product that integrates seamlessly with the home environment. The unit is constructed from stainless , ensuring strength against forced entry as well as resistance to outdoor conditions such as rain and snow."
"Inside, a weight sensor detects package placement and triggers communication with the companion . Users receive instant notifications and can track delivery status remotely. To provide immediate visual feedback, indicators are embedded on the exterior: white signals readiness, green confirms delivery, and red alerts when the box is full. couriers scan the package's tracking ID on HomeBox's NFC reader, securely verifying delivery and linking it to the us"
"Designer Seung Keun Kim created HomeBox from concept to completion, developing the overall form, interface system, and interaction details. He defined the architectural aesthetic, integrated the LED status cues, and translated technical requirements such as the weight sensor into a clear user experience. The project was approached with equal focus on security, durability, and intuitive interaction, balancing material robustness with discreet technology."
HomeBox is a weather-resistant stainless smart storage unit that combines security, durability, and connectivity for residential package delivery. The design employs clean geometry and an architectural presence to integrate unobtrusively with varied housing styles. An internal weight sensor detects package placement and triggers communication with a companion app that delivers instant notifications and remote tracking. Exterior LED indicators provide immediate visual status: white for readiness, green for delivery confirmation, and red when full. An NFC reader enables couriers to securely verify tracking IDs. The design balances material robustness with discreet technology and earned a 2025 Silver MUSE Design Award.
