When people hear the word "mobile," most of them typically think of [trailers and porta-potties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-vehicle-gt39). 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](http://www.tuvie.com/felipe-campolina-designed-a-skyscraper-with-portable-housing-a-new-way-to-inhabit/). **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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000) to make it eco-friendly. In the featured images the condos look like little boxes that jut out from the sides of the building. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Mobile High-rises:** Building portable condos that can be transported and slotted into a metal casing. - **Expandable Condos:** Designing condos that can be expanded to 32 meters with multiple stories. - **Eco-friendly Housing:** Creating condos covered in plants and equipped with solar panels for sustainability. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture and Construction:** Opportunity to develop innovative designs and construction techniques for portable and expandable condos. - **Real Estate:** Potential for new market segment with portable high-rise condos that offer mobility and flexibility for buyers. - **Renewable Energy:** Demand for eco-friendly housing creates opportunities for the development and integration of sustainable energy solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired Sleek Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinity-mobile-architecture-system.md) - [Mechanical Legged Mobile Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-home-concept.md) - [Compact Mobile Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/castillo-mobile-office.md) - [Expandable Trailer Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-foldable-trailer.md) - [Portable Wooden Mobile Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mo5-450.md) - [Transportable AI-Powered Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-transformer-homes.md) - [Origami-Inspired Disaster Relief Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefab-folding-pods.md) - [Solar Powered Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e55000.md) - [Reinvented Compact Living](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype.md)
