The designers embraced the trailer’s heyday by outfitting it with vintage furniture and decor.

In the kitchen, birch cabinets painted in a bright white are topped with solid ash countertops.

While searching for a new home and office, Nashville-based musician Ryan Hunter Sanchez decided that it was due time to embrace the call of the open road. He scored a 1969 Airstream Sovereign that was stripped down to its bare shell and proceeded to give it a complete overhaul. Georgia-based NüAbode handled the design and build of the 31-foot trailer, while the team behind Mavis The Airstream transformed the interior into a “bachelor pad” fit for living and working on the go.

“Ryan likes navy, so we decided to copy that theme throughout and bring in some warm tones to compliment the honey-colored wood countertops,” Armstrong says. “I always love to tie in all of the colors in a space with an area rug. I found the perfect old-world-feel traditional rug with some great navy and gold tones to tie it all together.”

    Having lovingly restored the front of this Californian Bungalow, our clients were seeking help to reinvent the back of the home. The brief was to create a functional, beautiful and bright abode for their family. We achieved this with a combination of re-purposing the existing spaces and adding a small extension to the back and side. We added a new Kitchen, Bathroom, Laundry and Living space, all with a strong connection to the outdoors. We played with the ceiling forms to create spaces within the overall space, while soft natural light is introduced into the depths of the home with skylights. We also paid homage to the simple heritage details of the era by referencing the overall form and textures of the old Californian Bungalow.
