These Economy-Sized Portable Condos Can be Transported

— July 21, 2010 — Eco
Who would have thought that something mobile could also be beautiful? When people hear the word "mobile," most of them typically think of trailers and porta-potties.

The young architect Felipe Campolina is about to change that notion with his portable condos. These mobile high-rise units can be transported by truck and then slotted into a metal casing, creating a beautiful multiple story highrise condo.

Implications - The condos can be expanded to 32 meters and contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and extra living room. The building is covered in plants and is equipped with solar panels to make it eco-friendly. In the featured images the condos look like little boxes that jut out from the sides of the building.
