(Sub)Urban Camouflage? Crazy Cool Green Mobile Home

mobile flying home design
Unfortunately not (yet) for sale to the public, this magnificently mundane-looking single-wide mobile

green funny portable house
With recycled fake Christmas trees covering the exterior and warm wooden interior (complete with rope swings, chalkboards and fake bird song) this offbeat portable living space is sort of a trange mutated combination of man-made modern rectilinear architecture and eco-friendly outdoors-esque natural design.
