Alpine Capsule - "Portable Luxury Hotel"




DESCRIPTION:

The Alpine Capsule, designed by Lovegrove Studio, is a revolutionary mountain living unit. The unit will have a diameter of 8 meters and the external surface will reflect the surrounding environment, de-materializing its appearance. From the inside guests will be able to gaze at the 360 panorama view.
The Alpine Capsule will be completely energy independent; the necessary energy will be supplied by external “power plants”, using solar energy integrated with vertical wind turbines.

LOCATION:
Mobile unit, currently scheduled to be placed in Piz la Ila in the Alta Badia Region, Italy in 2010 at a height of 2.100m.

URL/ BOOKING/ CONTACT:

Construction will begin in 2010.
