Residential Trailer

In my thesis, I focus on possible layout solutions for a residential trailer. In this regard, I also deal with various ways of its inhabiting and use. My intention is to meaningfully connect its living zones - hygiene, active, and quiet for sleep - so that they do not contradict each other and are optimally arranged for the user. When staying in a residential trailer, a person should not feel fundamentally restricted, and its equipment should not represent an obstacle, but help in using the spatially limited module. At the same time, I am trying to find and evaluate the potential of a small space for maximum functional use for a longer stay.
