The Life Pod is an incredibly innovative and unique tiny home, designed by the noted inventor and engineer Michael R Weekes, that can easily be towed around on a car in order to be used on the road.
Measuring 13.25 feet long and 8.25 feet wide, the Life Pod tiny home's interior features a pair of domes that are connected by a cylinder. The structure features a pair of special porthole windows, and can be accessed via a single regular door. The home features a composting toilet, sink, shower, oven and double mattress.
Because of its compact structure, easy workings and portable design, the Life Pod tiny home is perfectly suited as a regular dwelling but also shows a lot of promise for use as a homeless shelter or temporary shelter for refugees or victims of displacement caused by war or natural disasters.
