Get off grid in style with the eco-friendly Autonomous Tent
Mud, musty tents, cold weather, cooking for yourself on rusty gas stoves, smelly sleeping bags… yes it’s fair to say that camping has never held much appeal here at Sybarite HQ.
Until, that is, we became acquainted with the Autonomous tent - a stunning semi-permanent structure designed by star-chitects such as Patricia DiMario and Harry Gesner (whose famous Cooper Wave House design inspired the Sydney Opera House.)
The exquisitely designed yet sustainable. solar powered tent (although to call it a tent is akin to calling champagne a fizzy drink - a MAJOR understatement) can be enjoyed anywhere, all year round without destroying the world’s delicate ecosystems - provided that Sybarites are prepared to splash out $100,000 for the smaller, 700-square-foot Cocoon version and $200,000 for the 1,000-square-foot Tipi. (The latter boasts two bedrooms and can serve as huntinglodge should you so desire.)
For that price though you’ll get a structure that is more than able to withstand heavy winds and snow owing to it being constricted from either sturdy steel/aluminium tubes or laminated beams that are made out hi-tech, rot and mildew resistant fabrics.
What’s more, the autonomous tent is able to integrate with existing electricity, gas and water meaning that hot showers come as standard. Huzzah!
All told, if the idea of getting in touch with nature without sacrificing creature comforts appeals, then the autonomous tent could be the answer.
The only problem you’re likely to have with this tent is deciding in which impossibly pretty locale to pitch it next…
