Capsule hotels made of plastic are very popular in Japan,
. . . from the outside, they look small(pic #1)
. . . from the inside, they contain a lot of features(pic #2)
But now there are beginning to be some changes:
. . . Sideways capsule's(pic #3)
. . . Queen size capsule's(pic #4)
. . . Work space(pic #5)
. . . Wood paneling(pic#6)

:laugh:
Not only that; but what are the air exchange rates?
Brand new plastic=off-gassing. :mellow:

On the bright side I suppose, work/sleep in the them in life. Have them moved 6 feet under afterwards. Easy breezy.

Treehugger has an article on small homes. Pro's/con's and percentages of what people want/don't want.

Those "pods" are smaller than most solitary confinement prison cells. Maybe for an overnight sleep but longer??
Oi.
