Berlin-based designer Werner Aisslinger has made a mobile home you’re not likely to see in typical community. The Loftcube, a futuristic squared unit designed to sit atop previously existing buildings, is like the ultimate Ikea furniture piece.
The designers believe that the cube is a good fit for cities like Berlin where there is not a lot of extra space, but there are plenty of flat rooftops where the cube could be placed.
The Loftcube is targeted at those living a nomadic lifestyle, and suggests using a helicopter to move each unit from location to location. So attention all you well-to-do nomads looking for a space to call your own: your housing solution has arrived.
