Time To Say Goodnight!
Talk about getting away – where you park is your home! Here is one of the most unique living spaces I have ever seen!
In this time of #shelteringinplace, would you be interested in this #quarantinelife?
Here is how it is explained on Huffington Post:
“Ecocapsule is a tiny, 86 square-foot living capsule that, as soon as next year, will enable owners to live virtually anywhere. Each mobile pod comes with sleeping space for two, a mini kitchen, a fully functional toilet and shower, storage space, a desk and two windows.”
I have posted about these incredibly cute – and incredibly small – pods, which are now for sale, so if you are ready to buy your own “weekend getaway home” here you go! Here’s what really makes them self-sufficient: they harvest their own rainwater and remove all bacteria, so you have your own water supply! They can also power themselves using the sun and wind!
The $98,000 Mobile Egg!
The Slovakia-based Nice Architects have created this cute “mobile egg” that sells for about $98,000 – they estimate that it will cost about $2,400 to have a pod shipped to the US.
Would you live inside an egg?
Meet The Drop XL!
And I need to also show you the “DROP XL”, which calls itself:
“a large version of the organically-shaped removable hotel suit DROP eco-hotel. The DROP modules are part of the large emerging trend in the field of modular microarchitecture, suitable for being placed wherever the heart desires and the land permits!”
I think these are all adorable little getaways pods, if you are a fan of “tiny homes” then these are for you!
Of course all of this reminds me of another type of incredible getaway I could use right now:
Talk About “Sleeping With The Fishes!”
One day, once we are back to our “new normal”, I want to stay in this “underwater hotel room”!
Here’s my story about the incredible underwater hotel, where you sleep in the deep! Read all about it here:
I love how people have found ingenious ways to make use of “available space”. Perhaps the best example is this:
Yes, don’t let being stuck at home in your skyscraper keep you from doing some laps in your own pool! Read all about these amazing “skyscraper pools” here:

I love the idea, but like Beth I think I’d get claustrophobic.

I think this is a brilliant idea, John, and ecofriendly too. What more could we ask?

I think I could cope with that in a place where the weather was mostly good. I couldn’t imagine living in one through a Beetley winter. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes, I want one – I suppose you might need your own personal helicopter to drop your egg where you want it!

What a ‘cracking’ design! These are actually super cute and more spacious than I’d expected considering it’s a proper living space with washing facilities etc, too. Impressive!

HA! “Cracking” indeed! Yes, in a world where social distancing is key, drive this puppy to the top of a mountain and look at the stars! Yes, I have a strong case of “wanderlust” right now! Thanks for commenting, always great to hear rorm you!
