The eco-PERCH is a sustainable hideaway that takes only 5 days to build and can last up to 15 years. This housing unit is ideal for the private business owner that wants to get away but doesn't want to work out of a caravan. It could also be used for hotel or just for a home away from home. What makes the eco-PERCH sustainable is its use of photovoltaic solar energy, a composting toilet, rainwater harvesting system and a methanol fuel cell. All of this is contained within a 6m x 8m space. The entire frame of the building is made from wood and has a roof surface covering the entire outside.
As seen in the floor plan, the eco-PERCH can sleep four and includes a kitchen and a washroom. This unit can be installed virtually anywhere, in a forest, amongst the trees or anywhere imaginable. The eco -PERCH was designed by Blue Forest, an architectural firm in the UK that specializes in tree houses. It will be launched at a convention this May with pricing between 80, 000-95, 000 USD.
