A Brazilian designer unveiled a micro mobile home with just 1.95 m² of living space, built on the chassis of a compact Japanese pickup truck. Instead of a conventional trailer, the project uses a light utility vehicle with a custom wooden cabin insulated with foam and clad in lightweight panels. The interior includes a mini kitchen with a sink and an alcohol stove, a portable toilet, a fold-out bed, and a rooftop solar panel with a battery. The design is intended for short trips and as a demonstration of ultra-compact living, not for full-time occupancy.
