New Zealand-based design firm Cocoon Tiny Homes presents the Long Black compact home which is a compact residence filled with natural lighting. It boasts a spacious structure with a flexible form and it is created specifically for a small family with two bedrooms.
There is also a space that can function as either a gym or a home office. It rests on top of a triple-axle trailer and measures a length of 39 feet. The exterior is finished in a black painted iron cladding and this brings forth a stealthy dark aesthetic. Guests enter through the double glass doors and enter into the living room. All of this is topped off by a metal roof to round it all out.
