ALPINA is a self-sustained modular house concept for locations where the building has to feel calm, compact and technically independent. The design keeps the architectural silhouette quiet, then concentrates the operational systems into a practical cabin logic that can support alpine stays, nature retreats and small hospitality plots.
Compact module with autonomous systems
The project is built around a 30 m2 winterized module with a PV-ready roof and an integrated technical core. The source concept sets a target ROI of 28.2%, capacity for 4-6 guests and a 10-year warranty logic, so the design is not only a visual cabin study. It is a compact accommodation model with clear operational assumptions.
Integrated GearBox
- 15 kWh battery and inverter for the off-grid-ready energy layer.
- 1 m3 water tank, integrated boiler and technical storage inside the module logic.
- Dedicated storage for bikes, skis, snowboards and SUP gear, supporting year-round guest use.
Interior and package logic
Inside, ALPINA is planned to feel comfortable rather than compressed. The layout focuses on durable finishes, a full bathroom, a compact kitchen and flexible sleeping capacity. The visual language is minimal so the module can sit in mountain, forest or lakeside settings without competing with the landscape.
The portfolio source defines BASE, COMFORT and PLUS packages, from a fully finished winterized shell with kitchen and bathroom to furniture upgrades, hotel-style finishes, storage improvements and solar pre-installation. For Danica, this makes ALPINA a modular case study where architecture, interior planning and technical autonomy are designed as one product.
