Matthew Hofmann is a practicing architect in Santa Barbara, CA who recently renovated a 1970s Airstream trailer into a small live/work studio.
Usually when I see Airstream trailers that are converted, they are typically made into living spaces. However, what’s impressive is that Hofmann has created a space where he and his girlfriend live and work.
Both the dining area and the work area — it even converts to a guest bed! I love the mounted monitor.
Love the hidden printer — such a clever live/work solution.
Here is what the trailer looked like before:
Here is the floorplan:

Confirms my love for Airstream! It can go/do anywhere/anything. Beautifully done! Surely,
you’ll be getting calls/email from A’stream.
You’ll be UP-grading “yesterday’s homes today!”
Absolutely! a DREAM job you deserve! BRAVO!!!!

Yoozer I an like so excited. This is like a palace compared to the tiny mobile home we live in. We could go on vacations and have more room than we have now. The Grand kids could go with us instead of missing us. We would be on the road so fast that no one would know that we left.

Very cool. Would love to chuck in the mortgage and get one of those, but I think it suites the east coast climate better than London. Oh well, a man can still dream…

Gorgeous. I just bought my first Airstream, a ’76 Excella, and I’m already thinking about redesigning it.
I wonder how much this redesign weighs now. It doesn’t look like there has a huge increase in weight. It would be nice to know that it’s still a good travelling home.

I really like what they did with the dinette (desk/table/bed). Very simple and clean. The kitchen looks great as well.
The only think I am not to wild about is the tile in the bathroom. That looks VERY heavy and it is sitting on the tail of the trailer.
