While perusing Good magazine today I was intrigued by a trailer. An architecture professor at The University of Arkansas named Michael Hughes has redesigned the trailer home to make it aesthetically pleasing affordable housing. The project is called TrailerWrap, and you can learn more about it here. You know, it was nice to read about a trailer without reading the word formaldehyde in the same article for once.

I hope this project takes off and they mass produce these. I’d live in one.

This was actually a University of Colorado project in Boulder (I know that Good mentions Michael Hughes as a prof from UA, but this was a UCB studio project through and through!)
Our architecture studio attended the Trailerwrap open house and were very impressed with the simple, eco friendly materials and design – what a difference it would make if America’s trailer parks were populated with these beauties!
Several of us here in the price-inflated Boulder housing market would love to own and live in one of these…thanks for the coverage, maybe the idea will catch on!

What a very nice and modest design, the use of materials is excellent and i burn with a deep desire to know the make-up of this structure. Please get to the details of the materials used as the project is yet to be widely known especially in some parts of africa where construction is strictly with sandcrete block and mortar

Adebiyi, I would suggest contacting the University of Colorado to find out the details.
