Vipp Shelter tiny prefab as precise industrial-era appliance

  • The Danish company VIPP (famous for its iconic 1939 wastebasket, now in the MOMA) has created a prefab tiny home designed down to the last detail (flashlight included). Their 592-square-foot “plug-and-play getaway” wasn’t designed to blend into nature, but to float above it; fifty thousand pounds of glass and steel serve as a frame for the surrounding landscape.
    VIPP designer Morten Bo Jensen explains that the shelter wasn’t designed as a piece of architecture, but an industrial object. The prefab structure is built in a factory and the four modules are transported by truck to the site. The shelter can be constructed in 3 to 5 days using just bolts for the modules and 9,000 screws for the steel plates.
    The small prefab can house 4 people: 2 on a daybed and 2 in a loft bedroom. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls slide open and closed with mechanical rollers, designed to move the 400 or 500-kilo doors with ease. “We kind of like this idea that you just grab it and slide it open,” explains Jensen, “instead of motorized solutions that would be more different from our philosophy of very mechanical products that just last for a long time.”

    Can only imagine how amazing the rainy season is there, the trees filled with morning dew, cold light fog, being able to watch the rain fall through those windows and that sky light and the sounds of the birds when the rain stops. To live in the forest would be my dream come true.

      And then imagine the glass walls covered in bird poo, dirt and loose leaves. So you think to yourself, I'll deal with the cleaning tomorrow. So it continues until one day the house looks like a cat litter box from the outside.

    This just popped up in my 'feed' after all these years and it has been a pleasure to revisit this fabulous dwelling. It may not be to everyone's taste and I am not usually one to be into monocolour schemes. However, this is so thoughtfully constructed, so mindfully put together that it is definitely on my top ten of favorite structures. I won't list all the ways it ticks the boxes. You've already shown that. It just pleases me that after 3.5 years, I am still impressed by it. And clearly it has been of interest to close to six million others so maybe there is hope for others. Just so long as we don't forget that those that constantly find ways to accrue excessive amounts of cash (obviously off those that the system takes it from) should find ways to find housing solutions for those that such a structure would be more than enough for many. Bravo to the designers as well!

    This is a very unique design for a very specific clientele that is looking for a very unique experience.

So in essence, someone rich that lives in the city and is looking for a place to retreat into nature.

      Yes- however one must be fully able bodied, strong and average sized to manage well in that house. Unfortunately as junk food tastes take over many wouldn't be comfortable there. It's not for everyone, but some of us can dream. And, yes, such detailed features ARE expensive. I get sticker shock every time I look at quality things....Those glass doors alone must be over $100K!

You just have to have the site prepared and rent a crane. Installation is done in 3-5 days. Have to add 12% to cost to have it delivered to the east coast of the USA.

    Let's have a look at the sliding glass doors. They are closed now. I'm going to open them. Now I'm opening them. See how they slide along the rails. Done. Now the doors are open. See how they are open. Beautiful. In the surroundings. Wind is coming in. Because the glass doors are now open. Nature is outside is inside is nature. Enough nature. Now I'm going to close the sliding doors again. Note, how they slide. Beautifully. I'm starting to close them now. See, they are sliding along the rails just like we planned to. Because we are architects but we are not, we are designers, so we have a similar but different mindset. Did I mention how beautiful the doors are? And they are heavy too. They are closed now. So I open them again. Opening, sliding, feeling,... See, did you film this? I will show once more. What to do in the woods all weekend long? Sleeping, reading, burning, closing, sliding, feeling, cleaning many many square metres of glass windows. Let's open them again. See, still working, working out, sliding huge heavy glass door windows in the prefab industrial design cabin in the woods. ;)

    SUPER COOL! My wife is really into the tiny homes, whereas I'm more into the small, container homes, both made to our specifications. I'm hoping that we can get something this cool built when we're financially ready, though we would never, EVER spend $600,000 on a house. That's ridiculous. Something similar to this could be done for under $200K and I'd be just as happy with it.

    I like the design exterior of the building. I like the windows how no one can't see in, but the owner can see out. My only complaint is that he should have built a staircase instead of a ladder because when one gets old climbing on one will be a struggle.

    Anyone who has lived in a heavily wooded area can see the drawbacks of this shipping container house. No locks on the doors? But I guess you don't need to secure you're stuff while out in the woods.Trees drop stuff all the time, not just in the Fall. The roof and skylights are going to be covered with twigs, branches and leaves, not to mention bird crap and bugs. You'll need to be constantly cleaning up there. Opening up to enjoy nature is nice on the drawing board, but there is way more to nature than a breeze. Insects, birds and mammals large and small inhabit the woods, all looking for shelter. They're going to love this place. Climbing the boulder staircase is going to be so much fun, especially in the rain or snow or when they're icy, especially with no railing. And who could live in what amounts to an exhibition at a zoo? No window coverings? At least install the glass that turns opaque when an electrical charge is put to it. They broke rule number one: form follows function.

      You complain about the material used on the walls. But wool has self cleaning properties.
      Can you afford this house anyway? Didn't think so!
      The Sky lights will be full of bird poop and leaves? Didn't you see that the ceiling was easily accessible?
      Do you seriously thing someone that has half a million to spend on a design house has your worries?
      A lock at the door? Really? That is your worry when you see this house?

    Redesign the interior, add a screen, motorize the glass windows, and add a metal shutter over those windows to protect from storms/burglars and you have a good beginning. Modualize it so that customers can order things like extra bedrooms, bathrooms ect and you have a great product.

      @garygansbrubaker 6 років тому +3

      I really like the concept, and your suggestions would be great options if this is going to be their market. Many are discussing the pricing of the unit. Sweden's costs for everything are far more expensive, but for people that are Scandinavia are aware that outside of Northern Europe you could be looking at lower costs. Redesigning the interior has many challenges, like the noise dampening, the costs for motorising the glass windows of that weight, and your suggested metal shutters could detract from the clean lines that they have achieved. Screens are quite common in America, but you do not see this in homes outside of North America. These screens also have some setbacks due to the risks of running into them when it is new. That could a serious health and safety risk. Their appearance would make the clean link to the outside and compromise its appearance. The same would apply to the metal shutters.I have seen some higher grade barriers that you are suggesting, but these would not only diminish the space but would take away from the style and potentially add a considerable cost factor for this unit.
      They have some great ideas from this design, but I agree that there might be some options to personalise your unit. Environmental laws in Scandinavia are far more restrictive in nature, so expanding the plumbing and water usage could be prohibited, especially when you are considering this type of dwelling so close to the lake. Outside of Scandinavia Environmental Laws are far less stringent, so these good suggestions could be more feasible in places like America where environmental restrictions have been eliminated. These compromises could result in the loss of safely enjoying your lake. I would take all of these issues into account and would likely refuse to build something of that nature in countries with lowered health and safety standards.
