Remember the MercuryHouseOne concept? Well the concept is not a concept anymore. The project became real with all the functionalities and aesthetical beauty to boost the mobile entertainment of all range of people. It features large acrylic windows for enhanced air and light circulation, and the exterior shell has been made from the best Carrara marble that backlit at night to make special attention for various evening events. The 9 x 4.5 meters compact size of the pod-shaped mobile lounge makes it lightweight, while the interior provides lot more space than someone can anticipate from its outer look and enables the user to rearrange the interior in a variety of configuration in order to accommodate different needs. To make it energetically independent, solar cells have been placed on the skylight to generate the required energy.

This reminds me of those capsules from Dragonball Z that exploded into spherical homes.
so… whats the point of this? just to spend money showing off or there's actually some use?
I imagine if you would turn some of it into a form of energy generation and storage that could somehow plug into homes. It could be turned into a bedroom or an entertainment room as well.
To put this to practical use, I'd store this next to my house as an extra sleeping place so your guests can choose to sleep in a bed. Because everybody knows it sucks when you have to sleep on the couch when there are no more beds to use.
