Schlafhaus: a Zeppelin for Living
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 11.11.05
Shades of the Futuro- Marco Koeppel and Carlos Martinez have designed and built a sleeping cabin where they sent cad design files directly to a "wood cutting plotter" to cut out the ribs of this two bedroom cabin, and then covered it with fabric like a zeppelin. Standing on legs, it certainly treads lightly on the landscape, and delivers a lot without much material. The design is based on traditional granaries or "horreo's", where you enter from underneath and rise up into the middle.::Schlafhaus via ::we make money not art finished product below the fold...
