So you thought “double-wide” meant tacky, cheap reproductions of quality craftsmanship? Well fear not Mr. and Mrs. Federline, the fellas over at my favorite home/design/consumer goods blog Inhabitat have found you a ultra-modern trailer with class.

“Designed by architect Christopher Deam, this minimalist single-wide trailer home has 400 sq ft of living space and sells for just $45,000! The trailer has one bedroom, a full-sized bathroom, an open kitchen, and comes with built-in storage and entertainment units. The front of the structure is composed of four large sliding-glass doors that are outfitted with blinds for sun-control and privacy.” Continued…

I find the concept of having your home delivered by a Semi to be a bit lame, although mass-produced domiciles do go hand-in-hand with the core ethics of modernist architecture. Unfortunately, the strict quality demands, intense workmanship and expensive materials commonly used in modern design did not often lend themselves to inexpensive mass production until recently (I love you IKEA).

So if you’re looking for that modernist edge without all the moolah, check out the builder’s Web site for more details.
