MIRAGE SERIES UNITS
The Product
Modular by Design
The Mirage series is designed to accommodate many needs in the mirco housing community. Our
20’ units, simple in design and fiJed with basic finishing’s are perfect for transi@on housing where
durability and flexibility are required features. Scaling our units both in length and stacking using
our custom cage design allows for greater density and expanded sizing op@ons.
Our standard core home capsule, just 10’ long, includes a mechanical room, electrical panel, an
on-demand water heater, and a large item storage space. A molded washroom module c/w a
Disability step-in tub / shower and toilet / urinal and sink. An end wall provides for appliances /

The Product (cont’d)
Safe, Secure and Efficient.
These temporary transi@on micro homes can be located on vacant city owned lots or underused
parking lots easily connected to city services at the street. The security systems included in the
design allow for remote monitoring and systems management. Smart home technologies are used
to op@mize the UNITS internal HVAC, water and power usage to ensure maximum efficiencies.
Direct link to city services, Police, fire and panic buJons can be installed to make sure the clients
are safe and secure in their UNIT’s.
Our Mirage homes can be ordered ‘Off the Grid’ that includes photo voltaic power (Tesla
Powerwall), pure (rain) filtered water collec@on and storage, and separate contained sep@c
(easily pumped). The UNITS are fireproof, extremely low maintenance, and do not stress
municipal services at all.

Who needs an ARK?
Our Market
We know we have a great product but who are they for?
MIRAGE series homes are designed to serve our ci@es most vulnerable residents. Created
for transi@onal and homeless residents who want and need to be a part of the
community. Mobile by design the MIRAGE home can be built in cluster or stacked for
density considera@ons. U@lizing city and state owned property that currently sits unused.
Parking lots, undeveloped plots of land, raised residen@al lots, all can be repurposed for a
MIRAGE development.

Here’s how we deploy our MIRAGE
homes in communities.
Our Program Workflow
Location selection
We work closely with
stakeholders to iden@fy suitable
loca@ons in exis@ng
neighborhoods
Once we select a loca@on, ARK site plans and
builds the MIRAGE units to suit the footprint and
density needs for that loca@on. This
customiza@on is one of ARK’s biggest advantages
for site specific development. Op@ons for
addi@onal units and opera@onal redundancies
are considered at the beginning to ensure
flexibility.

Fabrication
With site plans and UNIT op@ons
approved, we start with our ARK
SHELL and work with our supplier
partners on interior finishing's and
UNIT systems build outs. – (6-8
Weeks)Depending on the final loca@on, ARK creates
its unique SHELL and interior panels in one of
3 geographic loca@ons best suited to service
the client.
Pack and Ship
The SHELL components and interior
assets are flat packed and trucked to
loca@on for final assembly and
installa@ons . (2 Weeks)

Once the MIRAGE SHELL arrives, our
expert team of assemblers,
tradespeople and local contractors
descend on the site to begin assembly.

already preping the site, installing

Creating the change we want to see
The Real Impact
ARK’s MIRAGE series was designed to serve the needs of our communities most vulnerable
citizens. Immediate needs in transitional housing are at critical levels. Bricks and mortar
buildings require extensive planning and time to build, not to mention the per unit costs is
between 5 to 10 times higher than an ARK UNIT.
Once built out the bricks and mortar complex becomes more and more expensive to repair and
maintain. A change in community needs renders this building an eyesore. An Ark community can
be moved within weeks, returning the The mobile nature of the MIRAGE series allows for new
“In the Box” thinking! Creating opportunites in communities where our homeless residents need
and want to be, allows for superior client adoption and use.
ARK’s service program ensures the MIRAGE units do not stress existing social and city
services, making planning, deployment and mangement issues as streamlined as possible.
Lets begin building hope into our communites by taking care of all our citzens.
