Most of my adult life has been spent in New York City where dense living is a given, and roof tops are coveted and at times converted into gardens, patios, and many other exotic outdoor creations. I have often wondered what it would be like to have a beautiful panoramic view of the big apple without the cost of “penthouse” living.
The LoftCube has been around for a while now, but I think it’s worth revisiting. The Cube is designed to be a temporary living structure, which can be placed anywhere from a rooftop in Berlin, to a field in the Castskills, and maybe one day a rooftop in NYC.
The LoftCube, built by Werner Aisslinger, is specifically designed for rooftops and is transportable by helicopter! The interiors, as well as the window treatments, are customizable by the client. You decide whether you want to live in a glass house or in a glass house with nice blinds! It’s the modern, stylish equivalent of a trailer, (a cool, hip trailer)!
Europe is definitely a step ahead on these rooftop building ideas, not really sure why Manhattan hasn’t picked up on it yet. There’s probably a slew of “red tape” that would need to be dealt with, but I’m certain there’s also plenty of information available that would assist someone truly interested in a LoftCube, anywhere.
