French Company Builds Bubble Houses

[Jazzy]

The housing bubble in America popped awhile back, but now a French company wants people to actually live in bubbles.



Actually, they're officially called BubbleTrees and they are prefabricated, transparent, globe-shaped tents that look like those bounce houses at kiddie birthday parties.



However, the Shine website makes a point that these round, see-through homes are designed for more wealthy adults, and come with portable sofas, beds and even wood floors.



The homes, which are available only in Europe, sell for between $9,000 and $17,000, depending on the size and extras.



Others are designed specifically for the beach or to use as tree houses.



The bubble homes are pumped up with an electric air blower that is provided with each purchase and has an filter to circulate fresh air and provide enough air pressure to maintain the bubble shape.
