IBICAP
This project is committed to a new way of living, giving a renewed image to well-being, compactness and comfort. In short, it is a NEW HOME that wants to take care of the
user and the planet on which he lives. It does not harm the environment, it can be placed anywhere and then removed without leaving any trace. It does not waste energy, since its lighting is based on 2 rechargeable lamps with the sun. No extra material is needed to be assembled. It is light, fresh and very bright. And in addition, it has a storage area in the lower part of the capsule, with multiple uses, such as for storing suitcases or clothes.
