Ecocapsules,
designed by Bratislava-based Nice Architects, promise to let anyone live
off the grid for up to a year. Each unit is equipped with solar panels,
a retractable wind-turbine, and a design that captures rain water.
Inside, you’ll find a kitchenette with running water, a flushing toilet,
and hot shower.
The Ecocapsule “is suitable for a wide
range of applications,” write the designers, such as an “independent
research station or a tourist lodge to an emergency housing or a
humanitarian-action unit.”
Those interested in buying one will be
able to pre-order at the end of 2015, with delivery in the first half of
2016. A display unit will be show during the Pioneers festival in
Vienna on the 28th-29th of May.
In 2016 you will be able to live off the grid in one of these Ecocapsules
The Ecocapsule relies on wind and solar power, and collects rain water
Its interior can comfortably sleep two, and provide 8 sq meters of living space
These pods could be deployed anywhere in case of emergency
Ecocapsules fit in a sea-container or can be towed on a trailer
A built-in kitchenette with running water, flushing toilet and hot shower are all included
The walls are insulated to ensure maximum energy savings and maintain comfort
The units could be used as research stations, emergency housing, or a humanitarian-action unit
But most people might just want to enjoy them
