Sky Frame Window Facade by panoramah!
Vipp Shelter

wallpaper* design awards

A panoramah! project was a winner at the Wallpaper* Design Awards ‐ Best Brand Extension. Vipp has made a plug-and-play getaway that allows you to escape urban chaos in an all‐inclusive nature retreat.

“A 55m² steel object emerges in a rugged landscape framed by naked trees and a silent lake that mirrors in the sky frame window facade. The shelter stands as a solid rock in sharp contrast to its surroundings. Yet, with its steel frame embracing the large glass surfaces (sky frames by panoramah!), the rock becomes transparent and transforms into a shell projecting the landscape into the interior. The landscape is purposely framed, turning it into the predominant element of the interior space.
A shelter in its original sense has connotations of basic living serving a merely functional purpose and attending to our primal need of having a roof over our head. The starting point of the Vipp shelter is going back to basics; back to nature with basic functions defining a dense, compact space yet wrapped in the Vipp DNA with a clear aesthetic coherence and use of solid materials. In this way, the shelter becomes a tool that facilitates a nature escape.”
