[Dragon Tiny Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-tiny) designed the [Element](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brass-bubbler), which is a small and cozy [micro-living solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joely) with a miniature frame and high-quality interior. It is priced at the affordable rate of $23,500, resting on top of a double-axle trailer. It measures 16 feet in length with a smart siding-engineered wood construction.

Overall, it boasts a cozy and comfortable design and a rough plywood cladding. The home's interior design is impressive but the furnishings are not yet done, highlighted by the basic kitchen unit that is supported by a functional sink and cabinet. The main section also works as a living space and the last space is the bathroom downstairs which is complete with a toilet and shower.
