Fincube - The nomadic home concept by Studio Aisslinger

Fincube by Studio Aisslinger
The Fincube located in Ritten, South Tyrol, Italy is a modular, sustainable & nomadic  low-energy house designed by Berlin-based Studio Aisslinger based on Natural high-techì  concept. The Fincube was also conceptualized as a vision for future hospitality, a temporary Fincube village with minimum soil sealing  in the middle of the most beautiful landscapes.

Designed by Werner Aisslinger in collaboration with a South Tyrolian hotelier Josef Innherhofer, the Fincube was created 1200m above sea level near Bozen in Northern Italy, with a brilliant view of the famous Dolomite mountains.

Made entirely of local wood, the building provides 47 m≤ of living space with a minimal CO2 footprint: local suppliers and local crafts using local long-lasting and recycleable materials . Local larch supports the entire structure and  a combination of larch & stone-pine styles the interiors

The design is minimal, material-orientated, and in close touch with nature – the wooden space with a 360-degree triple glazing is furnished with a second facade layer, producing shade and giving the building a unique overall mushroom-like monoshape. The horizontal ledges give privacy to the Fincube and embed the building into forests, meadows, mountain sides or any nature resorts.

The 3m-high space is organized in a helical structure: the entrance area blends into a generous open kitchen with an adjacent sofa living space, the bedroom around the corner  and further down is the spacious bathroom.

The Fincube can also be considered a smart house as all vital house-functions are controlled by a central touchpanel.
