The designers at New York City-based Stereotank have created a traveling shelter that's small enough to wheel around on a bike.Taku-TankuCalled Taku-Tanku, the home consists of two 3,000-liter water tanks connected by a ring of wood. And while it doesn't contain a bathroom or plumbing, it is large enough to fit a bed and has enough storage space for two to three people.Taku-TankuStereotank designers Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente, say on their website that the eco-friendly project "can travel through many landscapes to serve as companion and shelter but also as a sculpture that celebrates the vital role of water in our lives."
