The [prefabricated home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vettel-haus) is designed with space for four to live comfortably, and can be finished on the exterior with stained timber, profiled aluminum, thermally modified ash, durable charred Larch, western red cedar and more. The interior [open-concept living space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/affordable-housing-prototype) includes a large living area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and well-sized dining space and a kitchen. The Pod Space 'Home Pod' is achieved using FSC timber along with engineered steel and features [large glass windows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebl-grand-cabin) that allow natural light to pour in, while also offering expansive views of the surrounding environment.
