We are pretty sure that most of us enjoy a relaxing getaway in nature, be it camping, renting a cabin in the middle of the woods or just spending a day by the lake. Well, it seems that getting closer to nature just became even easier – and more comfortable – thanks to these prefab, round cabins with sliding glass walls that can be assembled pretty much anywhere in the world!
The said cabins are called LumiPods, and are just 183 square feet. The assembled cabin contains a simple bedroom and a bathroom.
They have a charred wood cladding and glass facade that slides open to provide a seamless connection between the interior and outdoor spaces and have been created for stressed-out city dwellers who might be looking for a weekend getaway.
Would you be willing to try this for yourselves, Pandas? Let us know in the comments!

The LumiPod has been designed by French-based company Lumicene, which says it envisions the pods as ‘cocoons of simplicity’

LumiPods must be connected to electricity, water and waste water networks. But the company is currently exploring new technology in order to offer a totally off-grid version later in the future

So, the pods must stay in a fixed position to enable electricity, water and sewerage connections. This all has to be paid for which wouldn't be cheap with permits etc as well as connections. The said, "stressed-out city dwellers who might be looking for a weekend getaway" will also need to own their own bushland block to justify the expense. Not very practical on someone else's land even if they gave permission. Not really such a great idea, might as well build a regular holiday shack that includes a kitchen. Better wait for the off-grid version.
Yeah none of this makes sense. "I want a tent, except expensive and impractical. Also, I own a very small plot of land in the middle of a national park, and I like my vacations to always be there."
I imagine that for the moment they are used more like rental cabins. So one person would own a few of them and you rent them to spend the weekend.
I thought about this, which would basically equate to a hotel/resort. I could be wrong but I would think it would be cheaper to have your own design built, not to mention preferable for your hotel's image.
All these houses always look great in photos but do you really want a house open like this in the middle of the woods??? Not sure....
I was thinking this is a set-up for a horror movie...
Open house? They have glass.
Open for everyone to see i mean
Yes -- I couldn't relax in a fish-bowl like that. Plus, people in glass houses, etc.
Where is the kitchen?
I guess a grill or firepit and picnic table you set up outside. Which is fine, at least in mild weather.
And the fridge to keep the fish you caught at dawn from going bad before lunch?

I basically make about $6,000-$8,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it….. ===))> 𝐖𝐰𝐰.𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤.𝐂𝐨𝐦
