If the idea of escape seems all the more enticing now that the rest of the world is caught in economic uncertainty, meaning(ful/less) elections and yet another OJ Simpson trial, here’s an amazing prefab remedy to help your mind wander. Escape to the beach, the mountains or the trees in San Fran-based Kyu Che’s sustainable Lifepod. Loosely based on the traditional yurt, the Lifepod is both organic and high-tech. Built to be highly portable, the Lifepod is a fully functioning, off-the-grid mini capsule for modern nomadic living.
Originally conceived in 1997, Lifepods are constructed using the most advanced 21st century automotive, aeronautic, nautical and RV technologies. Inspired by roaming mammals, the futuristic prefabs are designed as “quadrupedal fuselages” with footings that can adjust to the contours of their surroundings, rather than disfiguring the landscape to fit to the house. All the modular pieces fit into a 40ft container and can be shipped anywhere around the world. Using state-of-the-art technology, you and your Lifepod can roam the world un-tethered and off-the-grid.
Should your inner nomad be perfectly content with a Zen staycation, Kyu Che also offers a Lifepod capsule that can be fitted with minimalist screen or glass doors and used as a sculptural garden retreat, tea house, or sanctuary from the madness of daily life. I’m seriously considering putting one of these on top of my garage.
