An escape pod from the house, the Habitable Polyhedron is a backyard refuge that functions as lounge, study, or home office away from the distractions of the house. The pod was created by Colombian architect Manuel Villa for his own personal use in Bogota. It’s been a great way to better connect with the outdoors and spend some quality time with his wife and child. The front of the structure can be fully opened and out on to a small porch. The window in the rear allows for a cross breeze and additional natural light.

After spending rainy afternoons in the pod doing some very important “research and development”, Manuel Villa intends to make prefabricated versions of his Polyhedron units for sale.
