Reimagined Mobile Dwellings

Ever thought about packing your home on truck trailer? Four architects reimagined the mobile dwelling for an exhibition at Omaha's Kaneko museum. The results, all prefab and all totally transportable, give the classic RV—and the nomadic lifestyle—a new appeal.

Mark Mack Architects created a transformable dwelling with a variety of indoor-outdoor options. A tent-frame shell provides shade for an open-air seating area. Above, an elevated sleeping loft is accessible by a small set of stairs.
