The layout, in plan and in 3D

From the south end: a 30 in bath strip, the couchbed flush against its wall with the kitchen along the east wall opposite, and about 78 in of open front room in the north cap, ringed by gore windows, with the TV on the cap's centre disc. Most furniture folds against the walls so the floor stays clear.

Plan

Top-down plan of the interior, about 190 by 93 inches. South (bath) end: raised washer/dryer in the south-west corner with its door facing east, raised so its door is about counter height, with a 19 by 21½ inch privacy window above it spanning the bath strip; behind the toilet a 19 by 47 inch privacy window runs from 31 inches up, the bottom of the straight wall, to the same top; shower of about 41 by 30 inches; a tankless VacuFlush toilet in the south-east corner with its back tight to the east wall, facing west into the wet area. A bath door about 47 inches wide fills the partition between the couch and the sink: two halves that fold up and slide apart, meeting at the bed edge so the east half alone opens in bed mode. The Fotile sink-dishwasher runs 35 inches up the east wall from the partition, facing west, with the folding cooktop/oven folded flat against the partition above its south end, 6 inches deep folded and folding down 17 inches over the sink. The couchbed runs 82 inches up the west wall from the partition, 77 inches between thin arms, 27 inches deep as a couch and 54 wide as a bed, leaving 19½ inches to the sink, with a drop-down workbench above. On the east wall a desk folds down 30 inches, with an executive office chair south of it, facing north, just north of the sink; folded, it leaves 35 inches beside the bed. Then about 78 inches of front room in the north cap, whose 12 gore windows ring an opaque centre disc carrying the TV, the 32 inch main door on the east wall just short of the curved cap, with fold-down steps, and the chair's parking spot in the north-west corner. A tall rounded-rectangle window sits in each rib bay of the side walls; the south cap's gore windows have privacy glass.VacuFlushfaces westShowerabout 41 × 30 inWasher/dryer47 in bath door,folds open both waysSink-dishwasher along the east wall,folding cooktop/oven above itCouch77 in between thin armsDrop-down workbench aboveBed, pulled out54 in wide, fits 6 ft 3 inFront room78 in clearto the windowsFold-down desk30 in out, 4 in foldedOffice chairChair parks19½ in36 in to the open desk35 in besidethe bedMain door, 32 infold-down stepsBath30 inCouchbed · 82 inFront room · 78 inabout 190 in usable length at waist height93 inGore windows · north endBath end · southTop-down plan of the interior, about 190 by 93 inches.

About 190 in of usable length at waist height and about 93 in of interior width at counter height. Below about 29 in above the floor the lower walls slope in, so low fixtures against the walls (the washer/dryer, the toilet, the sink cabinet) stand off them or follow the slope. The 3D model is built from the design dimensions; finishes are indicative.
