Expandable Pod Studio is Also the World’s Smartest Tiny Home

Just when you think the tiny house industry can’t surprise you, Pod Studio comes strutting along as the world’s smartest tiny home. Pod Studio by Podform, a California-based startup, is a sustainable, portable, and expandable smart tiny house that expands three times its original size. Proving that there is always room for innovation and surprises in the industry, Pod Studio metamorphoses from a 161 square feet dwelling to a 464 square feet within 15 minutes.

The innovative dwelling, dubbed the world’s smartest tiny home, comes fully furnished and features hydraulic legs, solar panels, battery storage systems, a built-in water and septic tank, and smart technology. Moreover, the tiny house has integrated technology-driven features including climate control, security, lighting, and appliances. All these special features can be controlled via a dedicated app.

Shaped like a container, the tiny home has extra-long slide-outs to expand the living space. Not only that, but each slide-out space has an automatic awning when deployed to further the expansion. There is a projection glass wall feature that can turn the space from an intimate home into an immersive, panoramic haven with just a touch of a button.

The company dubs that the tiny house is much more robust and resistant than a standard home on a foundation. Built from aluminum and steel, Pod Studio is fire-resistant to some extent, earthquake-resistant, and wind-resistant. Moreover, the unit is highly portable and can be transported by truck to the desired location.

Pod Studio comes equipped with modern luxury features. Thanks to modular and multi-functional spaces, the fully furnished, move-in ready home has a full smart kitchen, washer, dryer, automated Murphy bed, TV, sofa bed, workspace, and built-in LED lighting.

The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. A bathroom complete with shower, toilet, sink, and cabinets is included. There is even a movable dining table with two chairs. Pod Studio also features a workspace with a desk, chair, Wi-Fi, wireless charging, and a closet and storage space.

The tiny house has a typical 3kW solar and battery storage system, which can be upgraded to a 10kW system. Given its array of off-grid capabilities, Pod Studio is probably one of the most self-sufficient homes we’ve seen so far.
