Worrying about one's carbon footprint is a good habit to get into, and many of these pods for living aim to give residences a place to rest their head without ruining the environment. From circular glass abodes to personal tree pods, these structures are designed to maximize a small living space.
IN-TENT has already come out with two different designs for pod living. The first one titled DROP featured a moveable figure, and the second one titled DROP XL is much the same, except larger. One could almost feel as if they are staying in a luxury hotel room in the space, except in a few steps they can be enjoying the great outdoors, and not stuck in a city.
