I want one of these for my very own. They’d be even more cool if:

1. How about designing connector panels to allow interlocking of several pods to form larger multi-family complexes? (Here in the US, we’ve had a little, um, trouble with housing prices [maybe you’ve heard about it], so some of us would like to reinvestigate communal living. But we still want lots of bathrooms. We’re funny like that.)

2. I’m assuming that water is heated with a solar-powered flash heater. Right?

3. As the population ages, it might be nice to include an option for a modular elevator shaft. This would allow people who have trouble with stairs to continue living within a small geographic footprint.

4. I’ve noticed some problems with LED light fixtures. They light up, but they don’t illuminate very well. Just saying.

5. The window shapes look completely customizable, which is also cool. How does the house do with extreme temperatures or local conditions such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods?

That said, I still want one. How much? ;>
