Loftcube, the prefabricated and mobile home

loft cube

The project loft cube, presented at the Berlin International Design Festival, was born with the intention of using the building roofs of the big cities like habitable spaces.

Studio Aisslinger initially took the city of Berlin as a reference, with the idea of ​​transforming and rediscovering the roof of its buildings by creating an artifact that would serve as temporary accommodation and minimalist.

loft cube may remind us of experimental hippie colonies, such as the Drop city from Colorado (1965). Forty years later the spaces have been reduced and the housing solutions They have changed profoundly, particularly in the big cities, where Loftcube takes on all sense and significance. Although the model is perfectly exportable to remote places or rural farms where it has a safe and at the same time transportable structure.

The project takes into account factors such as the weight of the passenger compartment in detail, so that it can get around safely by helicopter or crane. The design of the piece does not exceed the permissible weight on the roof and is resistant to wind and adverse weather. The inner surface It has approximately 40 m² in a space divided with modular panels sliders. Its exterior is composed of four panels with a sinuous profile, very customizable in terms of colors and materials. Even the degree of translucency it is adjustable to personal tastes by making use of blind elements, glass and wood.

Today Loftcube could be one of the few possibilities to enjoy the advantages of a penthouse in the heart of the city for just over 100.000 euros.
