New Zealand-based graphic designer and engineer Jono Williams created this futuristic elevated pod home. The structure itself looks like a giant white lollipop complete with an interior ladder that leads to a 270 square foot living pod.
Williams simply titled this pod home 'The Skyscraper.' The creatively designed structure measures 33 feet tall. The Skyscraper's interior is a spherical dome that provides a 360-degree view with windows that line the entire house. Inside the dome is an all-white interior with sofas, lamps, a bed and storage compartments.
Adding to the futuristic vibes, Williams plans to deck out the entire dome with tech-savvy accessories. Along with psychedelic LED lights that change color, the exterior will be equipped with solar panels and the door will be controlled remotely by a smartphone.
