The egg-shaped capsule lets you live on the go without leaving a carbon footprint.

The egg-shaped ‘Ecocapsule’ has trotted countrysides, clifftops, and more since 2015, but there’s one place it hasn’t touched: the US. Thankfully, the self-sustainable environmentally-friendly home is soon launching in the country, and will debut at Times Square’s Design Pavilion on 10 May.

Designed by Slovakian architectural firm Nice&Wise studio(previously Nice Architects), the ‘Ecocapsule’ is completely self-sustainable and can house two people for approximately a year just about anywhere.

It runs on a 9,744 watt-hour battery, 750-watt wind turbine, and entails high-efficiency solar cells as well as a unit that collections and filters rainwater.

Inside, the 88-square-foot pod features a foldable double bed, reclinable desk space, a kitchenette with running water, a shower, and a composting toilet. Its shell is 7.8 inches thick, the optimal size to keep homeowners comfortable in temperatures as low as 14°F and as high as 104°F.

The ‘Ecocapsule’ will take refuge at Times Square between 10 May and 22 May. Find out more here.[…]
