Maringotka, a contemporary caravan | Miramari Design

For those looking for something a little bit different, Maringotka is a contemporary version of the traditional wagon dwelling. Created by Prague studio Miramari Design, Maringotka can be used as a vacation home, for housing workers, as a hotel/resort unit or as a full-time residence. However it isn’t meant to be a travel trailer; while it can be moved occasionally, it does exceed the standard vehicle width limit on European roads.

The stylish caravan is available in two standard configurations. Both 24 m² (258 ft²) floor plans have a full kitchen and three-piece bath. The one shown in these photos has a large built-in sleeping platform at one end. The other version has an enclosed sleeping alcove plus a corner dining banquette that converts into a second bed.

Maringotka is built on a steel chassis with a spruce structure and interior wall finish. The large round window over the bed and a porthole window in the bathroom echo the curve of the roof. With double-glazed windows, insulation and a choice of several heating options, it is ready for year-round living.
