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.

  • The Invisible Order of Daily Life

    This is an old apartment with 40 years of history. The designer rotated the original axis and redesigned the structure in order to integrate the confusing flow line. There was only a single side of light in this space, after the rearrangement, the three sides of light, air and natural were introduced into the space giving the old house a new look. The designer tried to expose the original beams in the open space and colored the lowest beams with grey, which goes with the façade, so as to weaken the protruding beams. Also showing the natural beauty of the original structure within the space. On the other hand, there is no over-decorated design in the bedroom and the other rooms, only using the simple point-line-plan structure and non-chromatic to create a balanced picture. On the flow line planning, the designer integrated the main entrances of five rooms into one hallway. Using spray painting, wallpaper, secret doors, and sliding doors on the aisle space, which used to be confusing at the first place, to hide the appearance but also maintain its function. The design enlarged the space and made it return to the original strength and essence.
