The home is built on a [double-axle stainless steel trailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina-foldable-trailer) for durability, and features a bathroom alongside a small kitchen, dining area and more for comfortable everyday living. The home is paired with an [inflatable section in the roof](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardkorr-campers-xplorer-23) that will provide additional living space or even an area for supporting up to six people overnight. The Esch 22 Space Station, also referred to as the E22SSPIU!, is also paired with [water recycling system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tign-tiny-homes) to utilize the sink and shower waste water for toilet flushing to give the home a more sustainable edge over alternatives.
