At the very heart of nature
LUMISHELL is a prefab modular dwelling intended to be implanted in the heart of Nature.
This unique, curving habitat blurs the distinction between indoor and outdoor space to offer the unique experience of being outside, while enjoying the inside comfort.
You are a hotelkeeper, a landlord with an exceptional landscape, or a traveler seeking a place for merging with nature?
Experience LUMISHELL, a cocoon in the wilderness.

Our story
LUMISHELL is a concept born out of the encounter between LUMICENE®, a budding firm developing a concept of curved sliding windows, also called Lumicene, and Christophe Benichou, a young engineer and architect, passionate about wilderness architectures.
