The trailer has one bedroom, a full-sized bathroom, an open kitchen, and comes with built-in storage and entertainment units. The front of the structure is composed of four large sliding-glass doors that are outfitted with blinds for sun-control and privacy." Continued...

I find the concept of having your home delivered by a Semi to be a bit lame, although mass-produced domiciles do go hand-in-hand with the core ethics of modernist architecture.
