Mostly all campsites are far from cities and require fuel-eating generators to bring illumination after dark. Industrial designer Benjamin Charles is out there to help the camping and the hotel industry with semi-nomad structures that are almost self-sufficient.

Dubbed Leav, the shelters come with roof-mounted solar panels that provide the shelter with as much electricity as it needs. Coupled with solar thermal panel to provide hot water for kitchen and bathroom the shelters ensure that your camping vacation isn’t a threat to the ecosystem. To give more autonomy to the campers, the shelters are equipped with dry toilets, which save a lot of precious water.
