5 key facts about this project
This proposal studies a series of modular cabins positioned along the EuroVelo 6 cycle route, conceived to provide cyclists with spaces for rest and refreshment during long-distance travel. The design prioritizes practicality and environmental sensitivity, situating the cabins within natural settings where they offer essential amenities without disrupting the surrounding landscape. Each unit is transportable by truck, enabling flexible placement based on cycling traffic patterns and site-specific needs.
Form, Spatial Strategy, and User Amenities
The cabins are organized around a compact wet area that anchors the plan and supports basic sanitary functions. Interior features include bathrooms, bike storage, and laundry facilities, along with adjustable beds and foldable panels that improve insulation and comfort. Practical elements such as bike racks, sliding doors, electrical stoves, USB charging outlets, and water tanks address the needs of cyclists in transit. A mirrored façade reflects the landscape, reducing visual impact while enhancing the sense of immersion in nature.
Sustainability and Material Considerations
Self-sufficiency is supported by integrated solar panels and rainwater collection systems, reducing reliance on external infrastructure. Polyurethane-based thermal insulation improves energy efficiency and helps maintain indoor comfort throughout the cycling season. The modular construction method allows for different configurations, enabling adaptability to diverse site conditions and user requirements along the EuroVelo route.
