Whether you’re the ultra-paranoid type that wants a camouflaged living space or are just a fan of cool green design, it’s hard not to love this bizarre mobile home. It’s a fake hedge on wheels… that just happens to have a semi-hidden room inside it.

The ‘Porta Hedge’ is covered in recycled plastic Christmas tree branches to blend in with natural greenery, and can be powered with solar panels. Inside are a couple rope swings and chalkboards (why, you ask? Well, why not?). It even plays prerecorded bird songs from its hidden exterior speakers.

The makers of Porta Hedge just returned from a summer tour of America, conducting a study on whether the combination of artificial branches and birdsong will encourage wildlife to use the Porta Hedge as a home.

And, hey, good news – it’s now commercially available! That’s right, get your very own Porta Hedge and use it to observe wildlife, spy on people, prevent complaints by neighbors about an ugly motor home sitting in your driveway, or as the perfect space to lounge around in your tin foil hat.
