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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coral-tiny-home). 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.
