What is the Mobile Dwellings trend?
Mobile Dwellings: Just as children like to retreat to self-made forts or tree houses, adults like to retreat to personal spaces as well, signifying a desire for privacy, protection and perhaps a desire for a sense of territory. The creation of mobile dwellings are in answer to our need for temporary shelter.
