Small, modular transportable units to provide temporary accommodation, wherever it’s needed. This is the idea behind Hypercubus, designed by Austrian architecture firm wg3, namely to deliver a flexible holiday accommodation unit. This easily transportable mobile structure is even self-sufficient, if necessary.

Step aside permanent holiday home that stands empty for most of the year, and make way for this intrinsically sustainable approach!

One edge of the cube-shaped building is bolted onto a concrete base and it tilts upwards to lift the entrance off the ground, propping it up with a staircase. Apart from making the cube original and attractive looking, this clever stratagem also opens up the interior with three levels: a glass-lined bathroom, a living area with great views, and a sleeping loft.
