A team of Slovak architects have developed a completely self-sustaining home that can be moved and placed in nearly any environment around the world.

The egg-shaped unit is designed to take up minimal space, allowing the owners to travel anywhere on the earth while enjoying the luxury of a hotel room.

Tomas Zacek is one of the capsule's co-inventors.

"The philosophy of this object is very simple - independent living in nature, something like the pioneers in America who used to go far away and live "off the grid". This is free living without any permanent connection."

The so-called "Ecocapsule" is equipped with a dual-power energy system, bypassing periods of low energy production with a massive battery capacity that allows it to store surplus energy for later usage.
