Discarded construction trailer transformed into small dwelling in Beerse, Belgium by karel verstraetenApril 1st, 2014 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: karel verstraeten After purchasing a discarded construction trailer for just €15, owners Kris and Griet together with Ghent-based architect practice Karel Verstraeten have transformed it into an inhabitable space. Wanting to create a small dwelling that could be used for either studying and resting or partying, the unit was pulled to the back of the garden by a local farmer. Its existing structure was completely stripped back and replaced with new materials.  Image Courtesy © karel verstraeten

The rounded roof shape was repeated on the inside, with the edges of the walls curved using plywood. Flexible shelving was integrated into the layout so that the trailer can be used in multiple ways.
