I think they choose sphere because that shape requires no rain gutters, is more aerodynamic on the road and wind resistant in place. The lack of bathroom would kill it. Even the tiny Airstreams have them.

For the ProductHunters here asking about price and more details - here's an article about Conker from the UK's Daily Mail, which cites a price of pounds 21,000 - just under $27,000 at current exchange rates: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/...

Spheres aren’t very efficient in terms of space. Why choose that design?

@mickc79 Yap, even triangle seems much more practical e.g. http://avrame.com/

@mickc79 @xjki This actually looks really good, but my guess is that shipping will cost lots of $$$ and I wonder what's putting this thing together like... any contractor can do it?

Reminds me of the 1960's Futuro houses. I seem to remember watching a documentary that mentioned the major problem was temperature control - Heat recovery wasn't an issue it was getting rid of the heat. Hope this design considers the challenges of air circulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu...
