Tiny homes are nothing new—we see them every time we turn on the TV—but what about tiny smart homes? When a tiny house is also a smart home, downsizing can feel a lot more like upgrading, and with futuristic options like this “space capsule” Amazon just added, we’ve never been more ready to take the leap.

　　 Generic Prefabricated Space Capsule Container House

$35,000 at Amazon The capsule home looks like it's straight out of the future, a cross between a spacecraft and the cushiest railcar ever. But what sets this tiny home apart from other tiny homes we’ve seen, beyond its escape-pod exterior, is its integrated whole-house automation. True to its space-age look, the home is powered with smart-home technology that sets lights, locks, climate control, and more with the touch of a panel.

At a lean 20-by-40 feet, the home clocks in at a generous 800 square feet. It’s framed in sturdy galvanized steel and clad in weather-resistant fiberglass panels, but the real showstopper is its panoramic windows. Three sides of the home are paned from floor to ceiling with plate glass for incredible sightlines to nature. No matter where this spacey home lands—in the woods, near a lake, in the Lowcountry or the high desert—you’ll be drinking up those outdoor views 24/7.

The Best Outdoor Furniture, According To Our Testing Stepping inside this one-of-a-kind house reveals a space that’s anything but cold or sterile. The interiors blend contemporary design and hotel-like warmth, with the sleek glamour of a luxury high-rise suite. 

Common areas unite living, cooking, and dining spaces into a harmonious whole. A petite, eat-in kitchen includes all the necessities for meals in—a refrigerator, sink, and cooktop, with upper and lower cabinets that prioritize organization. The kitchen dining table, which could do double duty as an island for meal prep, seats four in a corner.

An overhead skylight defines the living area, which could easily accommodate an L-shaped sectional, a sleeper sofa, or a full-size bed to give this tiny home a second bedroom. And when privacy is needed—here or anywhere else in the house—drapes run the entire length of the glass walls, on tracks cleverly inset into the ceiling.

A well-appointed bathroom separates the common and private spaces. Just beyond, a bedroom sprawls the entire width of the home, with panoramic views of the outside world.

You might be newly retired and downsizing, wanting a backyard guest cottage, needing a larger space for a growing business, or hunting for an eye-catching short-term rental to bring in some extra cash. Whatever the reason, a tiny home is definitely worth a look, especially one as unique as this.
