A wave on the roof and blue from below call the house on wheels for the family to the sea
The creator of compact homes Greg Parham of Durango, Colorado, built this unusual house on wheels for a family of 4 people. This creation, called Pecod (by the name of the ship from the novel by G. Melville "Moby Dick") is very different from the flooded Internet pictures of small houses. The appearance and filling of the house is unique.
The peco reaches 8 m in length, its width is 2.5 m, and the height is slightly more than 4 m. The walls are made of standard structurally insulated panels, and the figured ceiling is hand made by Douglas Fir. As a nice addition on the back wall, adjacent to the bathroom, hung a mini-greenhouse.
Bedrooms, raised on the mezzanine, are connected by a bridge of durable plexiglass.
The roof in the form of a wave and the outer lining have something in common with the details of the interior: the working surface of the kitchen cabinets also gave a wavy line to the edges and used wood of various hazel species.
The dining area can be laid out or cleaned if necessary. Under the steps of the stairs leading to the upper rooms, there are organized places for storing small things. In the wall are built portholes, reminiscent of the ship of whalers from the novel "Moby Dick".
The window into the bathroom is a slightly outward-facing mini-greenhouse.
Parents and children have separate sleeping rooms.
From the bottom the wavy ceiling looks mesmerizingly voluminous.
Even in a small area, there was a place for all family members and necessary things. Rational and cozy.
