This Tiny Alpine Cabin Promises Better Star Gazing Than Your Local Planetarium

ByMyProperty Life

A totally transparent roof offers a clear but cozy view of the heavens for less than $90 a night.

Guests can gaze at the stars all night long.

Known as “Immerso Glamping”, this alpine cabin, designed by Italian architects Fabio Vignolo and Francesca Turnaturi, is true to its name: it allows guests to go off the grid and reconnect with nature in an inventive way. While the prefabricated shelter is designed to be easily moveable, Immerso Glamping is currently located in the alpine village of Usseaux in Italy’s Piedmont region. It is available to rent on Airbnb.

The original concept for the cabin stems from an experience the architects had designing and building shelters for an earthquake-effected community. They created a series of homes built out of CNC-cut, birch plywood panels; full-height windows; and a roof made out of plexiglass. The structures were flat-packed and could be easily assembled anywhere without the use of electric tools.

According to the architects: “Immerso offers an original experience following the international trend of glamping; it is linked to nature, and supported by sustainability and respect for the environment.”

And although sleeping under the stars is definitely part of the attraction, the alpine cabin also comes complete with curtains to shade the windows just in case guests don’t want to completely commune with the outdoors at all moments.

The chic, minimalist interiors sleep two and have a slightly rustic feel. There is only room for a double bed and a small stool.

    Measuring just 62m2, the apartment is located in a new building in Hanoi. Every unit of this building is small and is designed for young families. The original plan contains two bedrooms with compressed functions. The whole space is divided into small rooms. The renovated concept is to break the stifling sensation of closed rooms to create a new space where functions intertwine softly, flexibly and the natural light can enter the deepest corners. In the new design, a bedroom is removed to expand living space. A bathroom is converted into the washing room and storage. The balcony became a green space, connecting living space and bedroom. Finishing materials and furniture aim for simplicity, natural and rustication. Furniture are made to serve their very purposes, and not to put pressure on the space. Many old wooden parts have been reconfigured into two tables. Glass is used to show the structure of the tables and to avoid casting shadows on the wooden floor. The indigo plywood cabinet and the yellow cement wall cover the kitchen and are the highlight of the living space. With a small area, good quality of life can be achieved just by balancing the functions in a harmonious way; accepting to abandon some needs and to change our lifestyle.
