It is compact in general with the extra space added to form a layout that would perfectly accommodate a family of four. It rests on top of a [double-axle trailer base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loft-ruby-edition) and is finished with [black metal cladding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perpetua) at the exterior for a stealthy look. The home is designed with generous glazing which brings in plenty of sunlight to stream in throughout the day. It is powered by a classic RV-style hookup when it is on the go. To enter the home, there is a double glass door set that welcomes visitors into a 290-square-foot floor plan.
