The OPod Tube Housing system has been designed by architect James Law of James Law Cybertecture to solve the problem of overcrowded cities and affordable homes. The system, originally designed for Hong Kong, uses eight-feet wide concrete tubes with 100 sq ft of living space that consists of a living area with bed, a mini-fridge, a bathroom and storage space. The housing is made from recycled materials such as old car tyres and used plastic bottles which are then covered in insulation before being placed into the tubes.
