This Construction Trailer Got Made into a Small Residence

This small construction trailer got a complete makeover and turned into an inhabitable living space. While the space is small, it can work perfectly as a little work area or place to relax.
The idea to make this construction trailer into something bigger and better came after Kris and Griet bought the trailer for a couple dollars. For a couple dollars more, they turned it into a stylish, minimalist housing space. The walls and floor are rounded on the sides which compliment the rounded, bubble-like window.
Most of the inside is made out of plywood making for a cheap option, but ultimately just as strong and useful. Other than that, it's essentially a chair and small desk to round out the simple dwelling.
