Custom Airstream renovations by Hofmann Architecture of Santa Barbara, CA. Go to: www.HofArc.com

SKP Design has completed a frame up renovation of a 1956 Spartan Imperial Mansion. We combined historic elements, modern elements and industrial touches to reimagine this vintage camper which is now the showroom for our new line of business called Ready To Roll. http://www.skpdesign.com/spartan-imperial-mansion You'll see a spectrum of materials, from high end Lumicor translucent door panels to curtains from Walmart. We invested in commercial LVT wood plank flooring which needs to perform and last 20+ years but saved on decor items that we might want to change in a few years. Other materials include a corrugated galvanized ceiling, stained wall paneling, and a contemporary spacious IKEA kitchen. Vintage finds include an orange chenille bedspread from the Netherlands, an antique typewriter cart from Katydid's in South Haven, a 1950's Westinghouse refrigerator and the original Spartan serial number tag displayed on the wall inside.

When famed designer Ralph Lauren created his 4 vintage Airstreams for charity a few years back, I wonder if he knew what kind of impact his designs would have on the future of Airstream Motifs. Many times since the unveiling of his now well known trailers, I had been approached by potential customers asking if I could build a trailer for them with the "Adirondack" style that Lauren used in his "Adirondack" trailer. To this request, my answer was always the same "As wonderful as his trailer was, the use of barn wood and rusty metals were not the type of elements that I prefer to work with." When I think of Adirondack style, I picture the Great Camps of upstate New York of the 1920's and 30's and the fine hand crafted detail that you would find in them. With a more refined look in mind, this is what I came up with for my client who came to me after viewing the Ralph Lauren Trailers.

Here’s a close-up look at Delivering Happiness’ HofArc-designed and renovated 34-foot, 1985 Airstream 345 Motorhome. Hofmann's spatial design centered around a series of flowing transitions from vertical to horizontal surfaces, rough-hewn natural textures, and white open smooth spaces. All of the elements work together to create an understated setting that is suitable for a menagerie of uses, from presentations, to private meetings. The elongated bench seating expands to accommodate more than a dozen clients, each with their own moveable-n-stowable tabletops, while converting easily to more intimate encounters.
