Infrastructure is replacing green land. While it might be too late to reconsider the choice between so called modern development or harmony with nature, creative people have found peace in delivering what works best for time being.

Nice Architect is one of such names that rely on production of creative, useful architecture with minimal footprint and energy requirements.

It’s transportable and is capable of generating enough energy from wind and sun to be stored in a 9700 Watt-hour battery. With that much storage, it can also let user charge electric car and other gadgets.. The pod includes a kitchenette, bathroom, space for folding bed, and working area. Both sides have windows that allow plenty of light and air into the pod when opened.
