— -- A small wind and solar powered pod home called the Ecocapsule could be the home of the future if its creators have their way.

While the egg-shaped homes look more like something from a "Hunger Games" movie, Nice Architects, a company based in Slovakia, said each Ecocapsule has an "efficient spatial layout [that] allows you to enjoy convenience of household facilities in off-grid conditions," according to the company's website.

Residents of an Ecocapsule won't be roughing it, either. The company said each pod is equipped with running water and hot showers, thanks to a wind turbine, solar-powered battery and a water filtration system.

Each pod is only 120 square feet -- enough to "comfortably house" two adults and store equipment, according to the website.

Living in such close quarters may seem less than ideal for some people, but Nice Architects said it envisions the Ecocapsule as a home that could be moved anywhere, allowing owners to live nearly anywhere on the planet.

The price of an Ecocapsule hasn't been revealed, however Nice Architects said the pods will offer owners plenty of mobility.

"It can be shipped, airlifted, towed or even pulled by a pack animal," it says on the company's website.
