Camping among the vines
Eco-tourism, an experience for wines lovers
How small can we reduce our footprint living on the land? ERA architects have managed to invent a camping experience that reduces down to size of a small trailer than can be towed by an average car. The idea is to locate the trailer amongst the vines at this time of the year in order to enjoy the full wine experience, Pinea accommodates a double bed, has space to eat and prepare food. It is totally self-sufficient, gathers rain water and even has a solar panel providing all energy requirements.
Pineda is an ecotourism initiative, not only is it self-sufficient but is made from mostly recycled materials: innovative fabrics, green roof and rainwater collection tank (in addition to the popular natural materials such as wood and cork).

ERA arquitectos' project is about an ecological trailer-caravan among the vineyards of the Mas els Igols artist residence and personal retreat in Penedés.

Pinea trailer is inspired by the desire to create an ecological and self-sufficient alternative for a getaway close to Nature. The options that the market offers to stay abroad with amenities are very limited. A clear example are mobile homes, which, in addition to being made of plastic, try to reproduce domestic spaces with extreme mimicry. In other words, they try to reproduce our main urban home with a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom ... where our routine full of commitments and obligations is concentrated.

Last year, the Gavá 3-star campsite asked the architects to devise a special accommodation for its environment, also very special. This first prototype is as minimal as an outside bunk with a picnic area underneath. It has a double bed upstairs, a picnic area underneath and solar energy for 2 night lamps and the charging of 2 mobiles.
