LUMIPOD, the small prefabricated curved cabin designed to connect with nature

The French company LUMICENE has designed ‘LUMIPOD’, a prefabricated module designed to offer urbanites an idyllic retreat in a cabin in the middle of nature. The concept behind the project aims to allow people to reconnect with natural landscapes, achieving this thanks to a large glass facade of 5 meters in diameter that can be opened to the outside.

The LUMIPOD plane is enclosed in a simple circle only 5.45 m in diameter. In this small space of 17 m2, everything you need for a short stay is projected, including a bedroom, a bathroom and a shower.

LUMIPOD is built around a LUMICENE® window. This new concept uses curved glass in aluminium frames sliding between two rails, allowing the interior space to be occasionally transformed into an outdoor space.

Closed, LUMIPOD is a comfortable cocoon but fully immersed in Nature.

In a single gesture, LUMIPOD eliminates the boundary between interior and exterior for an unforgetable experience.

With the installation of a curved LUMICENO window that occupies most of the space, the compact area aims to immerse visitors in nature. The curved glass is placed in aluminum frames that slide between two rails, allowing the interior space to open up to the exterior space.

Foundations

LUMIPOD‘s structure is positioned on 4 ‘light’ foundations. Depending on the type of soil different options are possible. We recommend screw piles as they minimize the impact on the installation site. Water and electricity connections are prepared prior to installation.

Structure

LUMIPOD‘s structure is made of steel to guarantee the level of rigidity required by the LUMICENE window. It consists of a frame placed on 4 foundation plots; a rear module integrating all the technical equipment and totally manufactured within the factory; a front module bolted on the rear module directly onsite. The curved exterior wall is wood frame and incorporates 20cm of rockwool, a protective rain sheeting on its outer face, and a moisture protection film on the interior layer. The roof and the floor are insulated with 8cm of polyurethane insulation panels and 15cm of rockwool.

Waterproofing is made using a Firestone EPDM membrane installed in the workshop. Water pipes are incorporated within the rear poles.

Exterior cladding

LUMIPOD is wrapped into a dark wood exterior cladding. But it offers an almost infinite choice of coverings to fit perfectly into its new decor.

Window

LUMIPOD is equipped with a 5m diameter LUMICENE window made of curved glass. It consists of curved panels sliding on a circular rail.
The aluminum profiles are with thermal breaks and all RAL colors are available.
By default the LUMICENE window comes with a 6FE(20)6 (Ug 1.1 W / m2K) curved double glazing. Other options are available depending on weather conditions, including triple glazing 6FE(12)4(12)6.
The window is equipped with 2 locks at each end. LUMICENE is entirely manufactured by the Saint-Gobain Group in a factory based in Chambéry, France.

Interior Design

LUMIPOD has been designed as a luxury hotel room … in the middle of nature. The full height wall cabinetry between bedroom and bathroom is made of in Natural oak timber veneer with a mat finish. It includes a wardrobe positioned to the right of the bed. The bed is like suspended, and integrated in a shallow niche. A curved rod allows to accommodate blackout curtains in front of the entire glass surface. The ceiling is made of wool felt panels and the floor of light oak with mat varnish. Door handles and joinery pulls are coming in anodized sanded black finish.

Bathroom

The bathroom is equipped with a toilet, a basin, a shower.
Axor fittings come with a chrome steel finish by

default, but other finishes are possible.
The floors and walls are covered with ceramic mosaic tiles.

Heating and cooling

By default, a Mitsubishi reversible air conditioning system is used ​​to manage both heating and cooling requirements. A disbursement in the roof accommodates the outdoor unit. Other options are available.
LUMIPOD can for example be equipped with a wood burning stove if there are no cooling requirements in summer.
A CMV is positioned in the bathroom, and the water heater is integrated in the technical space in between wardrobe and toilets.

Water and electricity

In its current version, LUMIPOD has to be connected to electricity, water and wastewater networks.

Transport and installation 

LUMIPOD has been designed to be compatible with both road and maritime transport. The installation is coordinated by our teams, sometimes relying on local companies depending on the installation site. A LUMIPOD is assembled within 2 to 3 days (except foundations and networks which will have been prepared upstream).

In addition to connecting people with nature, the LUMIPOD also tries to impact the landscape as little as possible. To this end, the unit is constructed from two modules resting on four piles of screws to minimize impact on site, and the exterior is clad in charred wood so as not to stand out in a natural setting.

Designed and currently manufactured in the French city of Lyon, the complete cabin can be assembled in 2 days and delivered anywhere in the world in less than 6 months.

The next challenge for the LUMICENE team is to design a completely “Off the Grid” version of the LUMIPOD exploring new technologies for the bathroom, which they hope to have ready by the end of 2020.

Luxury home

Pensado y diseñado completamente por el esposo y la esposa Vratika & Nakul, este diseño para el hogar (que es su hogar real) demuestra que con la inspiración de diseño correcta y la ayuda de las marcas de lujo más exquisitas, ¡puedes ser tu propio diseñador de interiores!

HOME DESIGN

HOME DESIGN

UNA TENDENCIA REFLECTIVA DE BLANCO Y ORO DISEÑO DEL HOGAR

En este proyecto de diseño, hay una morada de marcas de lujo y, sin embargo, coexisten perfectamente sin dominarse entre sí. ¡Una hazaña difícil de lograr, este diseño para el hogar tiene diseños de muebles de las mejores marcas de diseñadores como Boca do Lobo, Koket, Baxter, Lladro, Edra, Moooi, Baccarat, Tom Dixon, Fornasetti, Kelly Hoppen, entre muchos otros!

Sirviendo como introducción al asombroso interior y ofreciendo un pequeño vistazo a lo que puede esperar es la increíble entrada. Con una lámpara de pie y retrato de gran tamaño, y un espejo en el techo para crear una apariencia más amplia en la arquitectura del espacio.

El exterior se presenta como una tarjeta de felicitación, con el nombre de los propietarios y dos lámparas de pared de cera de LUXXU.
La colección Wax brinda una sensación de lujo ancestral, con una variación contemporánea. Este accesorio de pared completamente hecho de latón chapado en oro, le da un toque moderno a cualquier ambiente, a pesar de estar inspirado en los tiempos antiguos.

En este proyecto de diseño, hay una morada de marcas de lujo y, sin embargo, coexisten perfectamente sin dominarse entre sí. Una hazaña difícil de lograr, este diseño para el hogar tiene diseños de muebles de las mejores marcas de diseñadores.

El salón es una tarjeta de felicitación para este proyecto. Con una paleta de colores de cuatro tonos en este proyecto, predominando el blanco perla, la estética cara y elegante es visible en cada centímetro de esta habitación.

De la familia de Eden, las mesas centrales y laterales esparcidas por toda la sala de estar son algunas de las piezas más conocidas de BOCA DO LOBO, que utilizan materiales y texturas de la más alta calidad, lo que le da la semejanza del árbol en el que estaba nombrado y produciendo formas que crean un ambiente de lujo cosmopolita.

El taburete de bar Chandra, de KOKET , es audaz y atrevido. La ventaja moderna de esta silla irradia la sensación de glamour vintage. Mientras que las bandas de latón pulidas se unen delicadamente a la silla, resaltando la fluidez esculpida de la tapicería de satén con respaldo apretado.

GREATLY INSPIRED BY TOP INTERIOR DESIGNERS
PHILLIPE STARCK AND MARCEL WANDERS


Cada rincón de este diseño para el hogar y cada pieza de arte en él, cuenta una historia. Vratika quería que Nakul quisiera crear una decoración blanca, con superficies reflectantes para dar a las habitaciones una sensación más grande, como en la otra mitad de la sala de estar, donde se ve la misma paleta de colores. Tomando el centro del escenario (literalmente), la alfombra Vase de RUG’SOCIETY es un accesorio clásico y contemporáneo para la decoración de la sala de estar. Al igual que su propio diseño, es una base bellamente tallada o simplemente dos siluetas en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
Un beso apasionado.

Basado en la misma estética que creó un legado para BOCA DO LOBO, the Lapiaz Oval Center  refleja la artesanía y el diseño excepcionales, y su crujido dorado es el pináculo del diseño lujoso, haciendo que la pieza en general se destaque de los tonos de gris, perla y beige.

En la sala, la paleta estética y de color sigue siendo la misma para proporcionar una transición fácil entre divisiones. El material exquisito y los toques únicos en el diseño de los muebles aportan una sensación de glamour a la residencia de lujo. El toque moderno de DELIGHTFULL en la iluminación de mediados de siglo ha proporcionado lo más destacado en el dormitorio. Con la lámpara de pie Hanna, que proporciona una luz cálida en la esquina y resalta las texturas en los blancos perlados de las paredes y las texturas del espacio circundante.

Por otro lado, a veces el lujo se presenta con el más mínimo de los detalles, y esa es la razón por la cual la lámpara de mesa Turner, también de DELIGHTFULL, es una verdadera delicia para una lámpara.

Proporciona una iluminación discreta, pero también ilumina y resalta los detalles de la cabecera tapizada de la cama. La lámpara de mesa Art Deco de Turner se inspiró en los electrizantes y memorables movimientos de baile del icónico cantante pop. Turner es una gran lámpara de mesa hecha a mano en latón y aluminio. El cuerpo tiene un acabado chapado en oro, mientras que la pantalla estaba lacada en un negro mate en el exterior y una pintura en polvo de oro en el interior.

Las miradas icónicas de este proyecto son el vestidor. Este tipo de división de habitaciones es a menudo una declaración de opulencia pero. En este caso específico, su simplicidad es bastante notable. Con los diseños más reconocibles de RUG’SOCIETY. Con su inspiración cubista, inspiración cubista, deconstrucción de conceptos clásicos en planos simples y sólidos donde se hace la mezcla entre patrones actuales en representaciones de períodos. ÓSCAR es la representación de Maculina de los cánones clásicos de la antigua Grecia. de manera universal, las figuras se trabajaron aproximadamente con algunas características delicadas. Una comuna de culturas y estilos que representa en el siglo XX XXVI la influencia de la historia en el diseño contemporáneo.

Trayendo el atractivo caprichoso a la habitación está la lámpara de suspensión en la nube de los muebles mágicos de CIRCU. Normalmente utilizada para decorar un ambiente lujoso y soñador para los niños, esta nube dio un giro fantástico y se convirtió en una fantástica pieza de iluminación para el vestidor, siendo caprichosa pero exquisita al mismo tiempo, sin comprometer el atractivo costoso de la estética general. de la decoración interior.

La idea era crear un plan de espacio abierto para el diseño de la casa, en el proceso de hacerlo, se hicieron muchas modificaciones. Finalmente, fue un viaje a Salone del Mobile que trajo muchos cambios a la estructura del diseño, pero también muchas decisiones finales. En la feria de diseño, el cliente se inspiró para llevar el aire libre a la sala de estar agregando plantas verdes a los interiores, lo que mejoró aún más la experiencia.

Las lujosas marcas de Covet House BOCA DO LOBO, DELIGHTFULL, BRABBU, KOKET, MAISON VALENTINA, CIRCU, LUXXU, ESSENTIAL HOME, RUG’SOCIETY, PULLCAST, FOOGO, y CAFFE LATTE, donde se eligieron las adiciones perfectas para Vatrika y Nakul y el proyecto contemporáneo. una realidad.
