At last, a micro-cottage for people who don’t want to figure out electrical wiring and plumbing ___ theory, I support the tiny-house lifestyle. I would enjoy the opportunity to live on a lonesome plain somewhere, with only the stars and many insects for company. I’m sure I could find a way to de-clutter my life such that the floor of my room/house was not always covered by 100 pairs of yoga pants. I would emerge from the experience a stronger, more reflective person who, if tiny-house documentaries are to be believed, is also an expert in knitting and roof repair.
The problem would lie in the construction of said house. If I were in charge of hooking up my own water lines, for example, I would be dead of dysentery by now.
Enter the Ecocapsule, a new kind of micro-house powered entirely by solar and wind energy. The capsule, made by a Slovakian company called Nice Architects, comes pre-made and ready to house two adults. Its kitchenette spouts running water, the toilet flushes, and the shower flows hot. It is 14.6 feet long and 7.4 feet wide.

Way too small for me but I like it in concept.
“...with only the stars and many insects for company.”
LOL!
I will be downsizing in the near future, building a small house and a BIG BARN and sturdy fences on a LOT of land....with only bugs for neighbors. :)
Technically anything using gas, coal, oil, wood or similar is powered by the sun. It’s all in the storage.
Fences may make for good neighbors, but alligator stocked moats make for even better ones.
Oh, you betcha! :)
Basically a camper without wheels?
Yikes, that looks scary.
I think what they are trying to emphasize is that the thing can be helicoptered in anywhere.
As with all things, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Let's see the outhouse...

What happened to all the yoga’s that were in the pants?

The only Yogas I know of are a former Yankee catcher and something that lives in Jellystone Park.
I saw this picture and thought they were suggesting the pod could double as a bobsled.
Anything that can be craned on to a flatbed truck and hauled off in less than 10 minutes isn’t a “house”. It’s a pod.
Looks like a rabbit hutch for people,no thanks.
Wasn’t there an old joke - why the yoga pants - thirsty, overexercised? can’t remember it.
