Portugal-based company Madeiguincho designs the Vigia, which is a small home that is defined by its premium wood and timber construction. It highlights elevated skills and is made to run off-grid and go with travelers. The namesake is 'lookout' in Portuguese and it is resting on top of a double-axle trailer measuring a length of 23 feet.
The Vigia is complete in wood on both the inside and outside of the home and finished with plenty of glazing. This allows for natural light to stream inside as wood shutters have been installed to offer more control over the amount of light that enters. The middle of the home leads through the glass doors and some elements include the kitchen and living room with various functions.
