This wind and solar-powered house lets you live anywhere

World's first off-grid Ecocapsule home

If you dream of living totally off-the-grid anywhere in the world, you need to get your hands on this home. Bratislava based Nice Architects just unveiled their very nice and incredible egg-shaped Ecocapsule (a low-energy house packed into a compact form), and announced that the tiny solar and wind-powered dwelling will be available for sale later this year, with units shipping in spring 2016.

From the website: "Despite its small form each Ecocapsule is fitted with all essentials necessary for a comfortable prolonged stay without a need to recharge or re-supply. Ecocapsule is powered by a built-in wind turbine complemented with an array of solar cells. Dual power system and a high-capacity battery ensures that you will have enough power during periods of reduced solar or wind activity. Spherical shape is optimized for the collection of rainwater and dew and the built-in water filters allow you to utilize any water source.
