From the stables to home! This Trailer Residence Has an Elegant Design from the Outside and Natural Inside!
The trailer home named Helga is truly unique. This is because the mobile home, transported by a truck, was originally a horsebox used to transport horses from one place to another. However, who would have thought that House Box managed to design a unique and simple dwelling with wood as the main star? House Box is a UK-based company that transforms vehicles into comfortable homes.
From the outside, this dwelling looks very neat and glossy with its dark wood and green stripes that match the color of the truck. Classic glass windows adorn its exterior, adding to its appeal. The exterior paint finish looks beautiful and elegant.
This is clearly very different from the inside of the house. You can already see the contrast from the entrance, which displays two different aspects. The front area is equipped with a terrace and a canopy so that residents and visitors can relax or receive guests here. To access the terrace, an additional staircase is required due to the significant height difference between the ground and the terrace.
Although both are made of wood, the wood used inside the dwelling is recycled and exposes various wood textures. Upon entering the dwelling, visitors will immediately see the kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with a table, wall shelves, and cabinets under the table.
A gas stove is part of the kitchen. The glass windows in the kitchen provide lighting and a view inside the room. Its proximity to the door is beneficial for air circulation. There is also a mini refrigerator on the shelf below the stove. The shelves are equipped with lights, making it easy to find items inside them at night.
There is a cover for the kitchen area, so when it's not in use, it can be closed and turned into a preparation table for cooking. Water and electricity controls are available in the kitchen area for safe operation.
Right next to the kitchen table is a table with shelves that can be used for placing a television. Switches and electrical outlets are available on this side. The bottom part can also be used to store books or other electronic devices.
The staircase leading to the bedroom floor is not just a step but also serves as a storage drawer in its steps. Each step has a pull-out shelf that is useful for storing various clothing needs. Moreover, at the part of the stairs close to the seating area, there is a sound control device inside the trailer. This makes it easy for residents to adjust the volume of the speakers in the room.
These wooden seats are equipped with comfortable cushions and pads. This box seat can accommodate 4 to 5 people. Watching TV while sitting on this seat will be comfortable. This box seat is also used for storage. The seat can be removed, and there is also a sliding rack under the seat. This area can also be used as a dining area by placing a table in the room. There is a round hole for placing the table structure in this area.
Moving to the bedroom, the space is quite spacious and tall, so it doesn't feel too cramped. There are windows not only on the walls but also on the roof. The skylight windows can be opened and closed, providing flexible air circulation into the room. Its design is also unique and lively.
This dwelling is also equipped with a heater. The heater's casing is made of steel, so it is safe inside this wooden house. Its steam is also directly directed to the roof of the house through its steel pipe. It is safe and warm when winter arrives.
The bathroom is designed in a very natural style with various wooden elements. These woods come from recycled materials and have been through various places before ending up in this trailer. A sitting toilet is part of the bathroom. Its design is beautiful and unique.
For the shower area, a piped shower is available. Both cold and hot water can be used in the bathroom. Corrugated steel surrounds the shower area, preventing water from escaping the bathroom and wetting other parts of the house. The shower floor is made of concrete with drainage holes.
Fuel, water, and weight measuring devices are also installed so that residents know their availability for their dwelling. Everything related to water, electricity, gas, or other fuel sources can be accessed directly by the residents, so if there is damage or anything unusual, it can be repaired and checked immediately. Not only on the shelf, but even the water pump and water storage can also be checked under the wooden floor of the dwelling.
The roof deck can be used for various purposes, from sitting relaxation areas to placing items. Solar panels are also available on the roof, allowing this mobile home to store electrical energy. Water pipes are used as safety railings on the roof deck of this trailer.
