A proper full-time home. One bedroom, one bathroom, real kitchen, living space with room to breathe. Everything designed for the long term — 640 square feet that feel sufficient.
The Dwelling is the complete expression of the Vital Structures system. At 640 square feet, it contains a dedicated bedroom with a door, a full kitchen with dishwasher and 30-inch induction range, a living area that hosts guests, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and real vanity. It is a home — not a compromise.
Dual-zone mini-split HVAC gives the bedroom and living area independent climate control. 200A electrical service supports a full appliance load including washer/dryer. Solar-ready for 8–10 kW with 20 kWh battery storage. Fourteen piers on a 14 by 48 footprint. This is factory-built shelter that performs like custom architecture.
Every surface is the actual material — selected for how it ages, performs, and makes you feel. No vinyl, no laminate, no fake grain anywhere.
Every system serves one goal: making the interior environment exceptional. Air quality, thermal comfort, energy independence.
