A Beautifully Retrofitted 1969 Airstream Strikes a Chord With a Nashville Musician

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.”

    Finding reprieves of green and calm amid the chaos of New York City is no simple task. Governors Island, an 172-acre island just off the southern tip of Manhattan, has filled that need in recent years with a 43-acre public park filled with rolling hills, historic structures, and even a zipline. It’s only a short ferry ride from downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn’s Pier 6 to reach this car-free oasis. Instead of settling for a mere day trip, though, Collective Retreats encourages lingering for a while with its newest endeavor, the Outlook Shelter. Open from May through October, Governors Island combines lush parkland, easily bikeable paths, art installations, nap-inducing hammocks, and trendy food and drink outlets. Even with annual events like the Jazz Age Lawn Party and the Rite of Summer Music Festival packing crowds, Governors Island was devoid of overnight possibilities until summer 2018. That’s when Denver-based Collective Retreats opened the seasonal Collective Governors Island, a menagerie of rustic, stylish tents—some tricked out with private baths—featuring beds wrapped in high thread-count linens and Turkish towels.
