The Protohaus: Comfort in a Trailer

The Protohaus: Comfort in a Trailer Home

Living in comfort is one thing we all seek; living in comfort in a trailer sounds a bit far-fetched. At least, that used to be the case.

Presenting the “Protohaus”, the trailer home that pretty much buries all the “comfort trailer home” concepts over the years. With its timber frame and a trailer bed that claims to be able to bear up to 14,000 pounds (around 6,350 kgs) of solid weight, this “stick-built” house is tastefully elegant and structurally sound.

Construction of the Protohaus, which was done under the supervision of S.C. Holley Construction, had its focus on sustainability and functionality. They made use only of recyclable and reclaimed materials. At the same time, it allows for the remote solid and liquid waste disposal, thanks to its separate fresh, gray, and black water systems. To conserve energy and lessen its impact on the environment, the Protohaus was designed to rely on solar and wind power.

And if you thought the exterior looks great, you ought to check out its interior. Naturally, it’s not too large, which is already expected of trailer homes. However, comfort is the keyword here, and if the following photos are anything to go by, the Protohaus delivers on that aspect in spades!
