I saw this article and decided that these minimalist living accomodations would be perfect--absolutely perfect!--for a young couple of elves who are thinking of moving to Alaska for the summer.

Is this thing cool or what?

I wonder what the inside looks like.

Made of Sitka spruce, Eryn is 10 ½’ (3.2m) in diameter giving her 1.8 times the volume of Eve [the other sphere model]. A well-appointed interior with galley, table/sitting area, double bed and loft bed, Eryn can sleep three. The loft bed has a weight restriction of 165 pounds. The galley includes a sink, small refrigerator, microwave and dishes.
The picture of the interior look more roomy than the exterior.
But no, I don't think I will be taking up residence any time soon.

Well, I didn't want to copy the whole article, but since you asked:
There's some minor downsides like a bathroom being missing, but I'm sure they could find facilities for that where they'll be working.

Very cozy indeed.

Can't you just see someone building a Lothlórien campground, with a majestic forest filled with these orbs?
Edited: Because "which" has a different meaning than "with".

Part of a LOTR theme park, I suppose.

Mine were "Open the pod bay doors, Hal."

Looks to me like the "bathroom" is the first tree on the left. Of course the "bathing" portion would only be functional when it rained...
