# Levitating Terrain The Marcelo Ertorteguy Landscape Cube is a House Caught in Limbo By Summer Luu | Published 2010-10-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marcelo-ertorteguy-landscape-cube References: [dornob](http://dornob.com/hover-house-striking-suspended-landscape-cube-design/) & [samplert](http://www.samplert.com/) The Marcelo Ertorteguy Landscape Cube is a concept design combining [art, architecture and land](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curly-cube). The concept is a hovering home in the middle of nature and technology -- hence the block of land suspended in the air, supported by cranes on either side. It is not meant to be a piece that can work in real life. Marcelo Ertorteguy is only showcasing the theme of a house caught in 'limbo.'
