It is the ideal way for travelers to ensure they wake up with the perfect view—a portable ecocapsule that can be set up anywhere in the world.The innovative，eggshaped pods ensure travelers can camp in the most extreme corners of the world，with all the luxuries of a hotel room.
Looking like something in a scifi movie，the pods are equipped with solar panels，and a retractable wind turbine，which guarantee solar and wind energy as its power.In this way，the tiny home can let you live comfortably wherever you travel.It even has its own shower and toilet，sleeping area for two，and a small kitchen.It may look like camping，but at least with the ecocapsule you can look forward to a hot shower and running water on your travels.
The 3306 lb pods can be transported on your travels in a seacontainer or can be towed on a trailer，meaning the possibilities are endless.
Bratislavabased Nice Architects are behind the extraordinary sleepers and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for a long time.However，it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to combat high rent，and placed on roofs for studio space，or living quarters.The ecocapsule can serve as a cottage，a popup hotel or even as a charging station for electric cars.
The capsules could even be quickly imported for housing for emergency teams who have been quickly deployed to help with natural disasters that have destroyed nearby infrastructure.Described by the website as a ‘Swissarmy knife—it packs everything you need’，the selfcontained unit can sustain long periods of time without external resources.
The 86 sqft pods are able to sleep two people for up for a year and for those worried about a cold night’s sleep，the capsule has a thick layer of efficient heat isolation and energy restoration which significantly reduce heat losses.
The pod is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions due to its innovative design and materials used.No wonder the Nice Architects are so confident about its prospect and the producers are receiving heavy orders.
