Although this truly special Airbnb rental in Scotland looks like it might take off on you, it’s 100% grounded. Thematically blimpy, everything about the Airship002 looks custom-made. Roderick James Architects located their second AirShip on a four-acre site with untrammeled views of the home’s natural surroundings. It’s crafted primarily with aluminum and maximizes its small footprint with serious creature comforts. It houses two people but can be modified for four people thanks to its modular construction and can easily be dismantled and relocated. It’s even sustainable with its own rainwater collection system, photovoltaic panels for electricity, insulated construction, and wood-burning stove. Guests will certainly feel as if they’ve been transported to another time (and place) with this remarkable pod-style home, and Jules Verne would be proud.
