\n\tThe Ecocapsule is designed to offer the "convenience of household facilities in off-grid conditions," according to the Slovakia-based company Nice Architects. Each pod is fully self-sufficient, thanks to a a high capacity wind and solar-powered battery and water filtration system while its small size makes it extremely portable, the company says.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\t"With its immense off-grid life span, worldwide portability and flexibility, it is suitable for a wide range of applications: from an independent research station or a tourist lodge to an emergency housing or a humanitarian-action unit," the company writes on its website.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAt roughly 120 square feet, the Ecocapsule takes tiny living accommodations to the next level, though the company says each pod can "comfortably" house two adults. Each one has a bed, kitchenette, bathroom and small work space with a table and chairs and comes with running water, hot showers and flushing toilet.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe pod runs off wind and solar power and is equipped with a wind turbine and solar cells, which fuel the capsules' 9,744 watt-hour battery. It also has tools to collect and reuse rainwater and dew. Between its solar and wind power and water collection systems, Nice Architects say the Ecocapsule can support you for as much as a year at a time in off-the-grid locations.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe company hasn't revealed a price for the pods, but says it plans to begin taking pre-orders later this year with the first units shipping during the first half of 2016. The final price will vary somewhat by location due to shipping costs, Nice Architects says. Shipping to Melbourne, Australia, for example, will cost approximately $1,632 by their estimates, while shipping costs to New York will run about $2,394.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t \n<\/p>\n

\n\tNice Architects plans to show off the Ecocapsule to the public later this week during the Pioneers Festival in Vienna, Austria, and later this year in the Slovak National Pavilion.\n<\/p>\n
