[Mint Tiny House Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ventura-park-model) designed the Loft Ruby Edition, which is a [compact and portable home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kootenay) that is able to sleep up to six people despite its small size. It measures a length of 34 feet and it rests on top of a triple axle trailer. The home is comprised of a board finishing and batten-engineered wood siding and is accented by a metal roof on top.

It is complete with generous glazing which ensures that the natural light comes into the room throughout the day. The interior of the home is comprised of 386 square feet which is mostly taken over by an open living space that has the living room, dining area, and kitchen.
