Transforming small spaces into functional work areas can be achieved with smart furniture choices and layout adjustments.
Meininger, who grew up in Germany but now lives in London, likes making things. So when he saw how much his young sons enjoyed the jungle gym and play forts at the local park, he made an indoor treehouse for them.
The Off-Grid Luxury Mobile Double Office is a trailer-based unit that packs two fully independent workspaces and a sleeping area into a 26-ft (7.9-m) frame, all while running entirely on solar power. Built on a double-axle trailer, the unit spans 10 ft (3 m) wide, broader than a standard tow, which means it requires a permit for road transport.
Work or social media can become addictive, and the bonds between people can suffer in the process. Designating certain spaces as screen-free zones helps provide a clear delineation between work or school and family time. Social media, office or school gossip, and work demands all erode time that could be better spent on personal growth through hobbies or the formation of social bonds.
For some, it means camping inside their toned-up vehicles, and for others, it's to snuggle up in a towing mobile home at the end of the day's fun. In the latter category, there are choice and one that's really caught my attention is the new Wingcube.
The heart of the Betty is its kitchen, which occupies the center of the floor plan and punches well above its weight class. Quartz countertops, a deep farmhouse-style sink, and generous cabinetry - including a sizable pantry - give the space a polished, functional feel. A breakfast bar provides a casual dining spot, while appliances include a microwave, a two-burner induction cooktop, and a fridge/freezer.
Ideal luxury motorhomes don't fuss about your adventure gear and supplies. Their primary focus there is a premium small home on wheels that may cater to the rugged roads, but leaves you guessing when you reach the fathomed wilderness. Canadian RV company, Leisure Travel Vans, is changing this notion with the newly revealed Unity TBX series that has a spacious pass-through cabinet to carry along a great deal of equipment you may need in your time outside of your house.
One of my favorite parts of writing House Tours for Apartment Therapy is getting to explore beautiful, unique interiors around the world - and discovering all the deeply personal and wildly imaginative ways people make a space their own. And no one is quite as creative as a big family trying to make a small home work for everyone who shares the space.
Fiberglass makes a camper lightweight and durable, and double-shell fiberglass construction makes it doubly tough, all-weather proof, and sublime to live in. This is the new MorningStar from Awaken RV, a manufacturer in Ohio, that's changing the image and construction parameters for a traditional travel trailer and giving it a sleeker but tougher makeover, which is surprisingly pleasing to the eye.
