This demo is a high-end model meant to show how the PowerPod could used as a residence. In this configuration, the building has one large room that holds both the living room and kitchen. There is also a bedroom and bathroom.
The building's designers are aiming to create an aesthetically pleasing space that has many green features. For example, the floor and baseboards are made from bamboo. The clapboards on the outside are made from sustainably forested wood and were milled locally.
"A green house doesn't have to be ugly," says PowerHouse Enterprises design principal John Rossi. "If people are going to hate green buildings, they won't go anywhere."
