It has enough space to comfortably sleep about five people with the addition of two separate workspaces. It rests on top of a double-axle trailer base foundation and is finished with a cedar look with an aluminum roof on top. The Chicorée home also has a spruce frame and is insulated with a blend of cotton, hemp, and linen materials. To round out the interior's design, it boasts a slight spruce finishing.
