With an unusual curving design, the Lobster Pod is a low-cost tiny house that could be used for extra accommodations, as a backyard office, a garden shed or a remote nature getaway. Cozy and compact, it features two bunk beds for kids and a double bed for adults. It’s insulated with sheep’s wool to make it cozy in all weather, and has a large double-glazed porthole window to enable occupants to take in the views.
Manufactured in Ireland and the U.K., the Lobster Pod is certainly compact at 10 by 13 feet, but its high ceiling gives it a spacious feel inside. It can be customized to suit your specific needs with electric, gas or wood heat solar panels, a heated shower and a chemical, composting or flushing toilet.
