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.
