Even though the trailer’s great per se, the designer Bran Ferren takes advantage of the deployment of some modules to add a 50% of available space. Thus, this house on wheels includes a living room-kitchen equipped with almost everything. Apart of other spaces throughout the room that can be used as a pantry, it’s equipped with a refrigerator, a freezer, an oven, a microwave and even a ceramic hob.

KiraVan

With a capacity of three guests, the living room has an entertainment system that includes 4K TV, satellite channels, Internet access and an almost infinite library of movies.

To sleep, the KiraVan’s also prepared to accommodate three people in different ‘rooms’. Thanks to the caravan’s deployment, above the main bed a second one’s opened, and if there are guests that night, the dining table becomes a third sleeping area, cause every situation (like a pajama party) has been provided.

The proud kitchen

Perhaps the only downside (just to mention one) is that the vehicle has only one bathroom. Anyway, to avoid any bad smell, a system transforms the “waste” into a powder that’s not toxic or harmful to the environment.

The tour through the KiraVan ends at the office, where there are two PCs and a printer. Of course, the mobile loft’s WiFi and an information system able to control the status of the vehicle at any time.

A caravan that gives the opportunity to travel to any corner of the world only lacks its own energy. To achieve this autonomy, Ferren has built a diesel generator and solar batteries allowing KiraVan to acclimate for 10 hours without the need of turning the engine or the generator on.

The roof

Bran Ferren’s -among many other things- a recognized American inventor who works as a designer at Disney. The KiraVan project’s made for his four year old daughter Kira, who’ll be the final owner of the caravan.

Queen Anne

There are distinct and inspirational house designs from as far back as people have been building and living in them. These days, we should consider ourselves lucky that when we begin to think about a designing a new, we have centuries of architectural history to look back on for inspiration.

The Queen Anne architectural style was made popular around the turn of the 20th century and could be, and still is, found in many places around the world. Queen Anne style houses can be recognized by their asymmetrical design with wraparound porches. Houses are usually fairly large with steep roofs and a square or rounded tower. The design can be fairly complex with patterned masonry or roof tiles which were slate in the early years. Large bay windows add to the extravagant and lavish look to this style of home. This design and elements from it are commonly found in homes around the world.

Queen Anne style

Prairie Style

This design originated in the United States and was the brainchild of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Prairie style houses have long, overhanging eaves extending from low-pitched roofs. The general look is of a low-slung style with long, clean horizontal lines that blend in and take inspiration from the surrounding landscape.

The houses take on a variety of layouts ranging from L-shaped to Y-shaped and even pinwheel iterations. The interior floor plans were intended to be open and create a feeling of space. Often certain rooms were divided by glass to emphasize this concept.

Prairie Style

Southwest Adobe

The modern Adobe style house spawned from the houses built with easily accessible materials throughout the American Southwest and Mexico. Traditionally constructed with a timber frame and local clays, modern designs have adapted modern materials, turning to cement block with a flat timber roof. A distinctive feature is the roof being supported by large timbers called “vigas” which protrude from the wall creating a strong, fortress-like appearance.

In arid environments, the flat roof is designed with spout which funnel rainwater into cistern for later use. The thick walls of the Adobe style house help insulate the interior, buffering it from wild temperature swings throughout the day. Strategically placed windows enabled enough sunlight to penetrate to light the interior while blocking direct sun to keep interior temperatures down during hot months. Adobe homes lack abrupt corners, instead opting for gradual rounded edges and window sills. Earthen tones and natural wood colours allow the houses to blend with their surroundings, providing a comfortable, warm and earth-friendly feel.

Today’s modern home designs find inspiration and share many features from various designs throughout the ages. A well thought-out and tasteful blend of different features can help you and your home-builder come up with unique design to be proud of.

It is worth noting, that the fruit is not available for sale as well as the staff of the gardens wants to keep them all for their own consumption! The price is estimated quite fair for the quality of the fruit, it is sufficient to consider that more than 90 tonnes of manure were needed for two years of development, and not just any dung, added the manager.
