Ecocapsule – futuristic mini house concept.

Very soon, a new mini-house will appear on sale, made in the form of a futuristic capsule with built-in energy technologies. Despite its small size, this design has enough room for two adults, and the generated energy – even to charge an electric car. For those who like to travel long distances, this cabin will be an excellent alternative to uncomfortable tents and bulky vans..

The architectural studio from Bratislava (Slovakia) Nice Architects has become the author of a unique project – an autonomous capsule house, which will soon become a reality. Ecocapsule is an egg-shaped micro house that can easily fit on a trailer and is a good alternative to camping tents.

A comfortable stay in a mini-house becomes possible thanks to modern technologies for obtaining alternative energy: a small windmill (output power 750 watts) and solar panels (output power 600 watts). The capsule also contains a 9744 Wh battery. This is quite enough to charge all the devices you need in everyday life, or even an electric car that can lead a capsule..
Rainwater, in turn, is purified, falling into special membrane filters, and after that it flows down the reservoirs located under the residential structure.

The interior of the walls is lined with highly efficient thermal insulation material, which helps to reduce energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.
The mini-house is 8 square meters. The interior is thought out in such a way that 2 adults can easily fit there: a folding bed and a table, a place for cooking, a bathroom and even a fireplace.

Eurocapsule is a temporary dwelling.

In turn, Korean architects Yoon space and Song pyoung proposed a project for temporary
mobile dwellings in the form of oval capsules called Albang. Designers propose to maximize the use of living space, while using the minimum number of interior items.
