Crossboundaries re-designed a fully solar-powered motorboat with high-end tiny-home characteristics functioning as a slow-motion traveling nest. his compact space is testing flexibility in micro-dwellings where each room assumes multiple programmatic roles. Some key transformable features were applied in the sleeping areas: a wide bed which fully disappears when not in use, with a comfortable sofa in its location instead. This is followed by a fully hidden bed with a function to close the control stand, which hides the more technical equipment of the boat, achieving a calmer sense of home.
