AZ STAR POD

NW Arizona

The self-sustaining Star Pod will be nestled in a remote, though, accessible valley at the intersection of the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts in NW Arizona. Night sky viewing, including the Milky Way, will be offered atop the pod's roof deck.

The hexagonal layout is centered about a "heliocentric" ascending spiral stair to "the heavens" (roof deck).

Most components will be prefabricated and assembled on site. Custom interior furnishings will complement the dominant hexagonal layout.

The pod skin will be a ribbed, perforated metal rain screen and skylights will be let light into the shell above opposing bed and sofa areas, evocative of the Gemini space capsule exterior.

LED lighting, red night vision lighting throughout and convenience devices will utilize off-grid solar power.
