“...setup a steel quancet building...”

For the benefit of those needing to use a search engine to understand the term, here’s the correct spelling: Quonset. It’s also a trademarked name but I don’t know the HTML code to get the fancy TM subscript...

One of these with a trailer house parked inside of it...

Dig a few deep 40-50ft deep holes about 3-10 ft in diameter below it for earth based thermal cooling/heating for winter/summer.

Cover the top of the quancet(sp) with solar panels for power to run the pumps for the A/C etc..

Paint the inside of the steel building with a blue and white for clouds "fake sky" dapple it with invisible UV specs for the night black-light to have a fake "night sky".

put some fake grass between the trailer house and the walls of the house or plant real grass and use grow lights and have a perfect weed free lawn ( no weed seeds would ever get into the area )

Use the doors on front to make an integrated garage area

could be a nice "enclosed house" if you lived in a very cold climate and wanted the comforts of a lawn and an "outdoor patio" you could sit on even if it was 20 degrees below. You may need to insulate the outerwall a bit depending how cold/hot it was where you lived.

Great illustration for your point! I’d love to give your idea a try.

Named for the Quonset branch of the Narragansett Indians of Rhode Island, who built their wigwams in this style.
