Cabin One

Berlin / German

y

The cabin is typically associated with the wilderness

,

but exciting new project Cabin One has its sights se

t

closer to home. The compact living module is the

perfect fit for the rooftops of even the most crowded

city. Berlin alone, where the cabin prototype currently

resides, has space for 55,000 such cabins on its

unused roofs

.

Inspired in part by the Tiny House movement, Cabin

One has been designed to slot into and above scraps

of space in the urban landscape, and is in tune wit

h

environmental concerns. The cabin is designed to b

e

modular and resource-ef

ficient, powered by solar bat-

teries integrated into the

floor, and consists of an out-

er hull with 25sqm of kitchen, bathroom and bedroom

facilities within. With space efficiency key to the de-

sign, the architects speci

fied the GROHE Red filtered

and boiling water system for the kitchen, while in the

bathroom a GROHE Rapido T concealed thermostati

c

mixer was used.
