Focus on the Minimalist Airstream

by arc airstreams on May 18, 2012

Today we’re taking another look at one of our recently finished projects which we like to call, ‘The Minimalist Airstream’.

This Airstream belongs to Doug Hamilton of the Wham Agency in London, a branding company who create, re-invent and deliver new brands worldwide.

The Airstream design brief was that it was to be very low key, simple and definitely ‘not blingy’ – so basically the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of what we have achieved with the Lava Lamp Airstream! If you compare these two trailers that we worked on side-by-side it just goes to show how versatile we are here at American Retro Caravans and how Kathy and Darren are able to work with our clients to develop their vision into reality, rather than recreating the same ‘house style’. You name it – we can build it!

This design maximises the natural light and space in the Airstream. As the Airstream is going to be situated in the South of France it needed to be well insulated against extreme temperatures. ARC will be towing the Airstream down to the South of France for Doug where it will be used as an office and guest accommodation.

Minimalist AirstreamAfter showing you last week’s lava-lamp inspired work-in-progress, today we take a look at how things are coming along in the minimalist Airstream – demonstrating the versatility of our work and the skill of our design team – from understanding our client’s vision to translating it into the finished article.

Here a stylish red bespoke sofa sets off the simple interior of the Airstream. Underneath is a rock and roll bed.

The drawers have been sanded and sealed to protect the oak they are now ready to be installed.

White handles keep the feeling of simplicity and avoid interfering with the lines of the carpentry.
