Matthew Hofmann’s small architectural challenge- (Mini) House Tour
When the editors of Apartment Therapy posted Matthew Hoffmann’s Before and After makeover of his retro Airstream Trailer, I jumped at the opportunity to photograph it for a full tour. At A.T. we are most impressed when homeowners rise to the challenge of small spaces and grand design.
Matthew completely gutted the inside of the trailer, and then brought back some of the original structure like the table doubling as his workspace and often a couch to watch movies on. The kitchen is travel proofed with the handles and knobs that lock into place. The bathroom is a small blue oasis complete with moden fixtures and a full shower. The biggest challenge of all… Matthew shares this space with his girlfriend. They have completely embraced the minimal approach to decor and I believe that though their residence in the airstream may only be temporary it’s awesome to see how little we “need” in our homes to actually survive. Matthew is the architect behind this renovation, and one of the most signifigant changes since he left the firm he worked for, was that he designed his airstream to equip a fully functional office.
A full tour will be on Apartment Therapy next month, but until then, here’s a small preview.
