The structure is defined by a complex 10/12 pitch Dutch gable roof, punctuated by dormers and a transverse center gable. An integrated utility shed at the trailer tongue follows the primary roofline, optimizing the aerodynamic profile for transport.

The entry elevation features a recessed wall plane, providing a protective overhang and accommodating bilateral planter boxes. The floor plan initiates with the kitchen and a four-person dining area, separated from the living room by a partial partition. Vertical circulation to the dual lofts is provided by interior wall-mounted ladders within the living zone. The rear program consists of a home office alcove, laundry closet, full bath, and French doors.
