PREFAB FRIDAY: EcoCoon Retreats

  • PREFAB FRIDAY: EcoCoon Retreats
    Lofted high above in the trees, Mathier Collos' <strong>EcoCoon</strong> retreats are a conceptual design for prefabricated housing. Each of the London-based architect's cocoon-like pod is outfitted with an array of sustainable features including rainwater collection, a greywater system, and biomass heating. And depending on the type of tree used and the tree branching density, solar panels can also be integrated to help make these pods as eco-sensitive as possible. The two-story, split-level retreats can comfortably accommodate two adults or a small family and larger models may be able to act as a small, quaint hostel with several guests.
