First thoughts on layout and design
I spent a long time thinking about how I wanted to design the box and looked at lots of trucks – first around Berlin, then at the Abenteuer & Allrad fair, plus loads of pictures online.
Very early on I saw a version I really liked at Julian and Miriam’s in their Mercedes 1222 .
Light materials, a big open space with lots of windows. No separate toilet room – instead a Makrolon wall and a pull-out toilet with a privacy screen. The shower is placed in the entrance to save space.
Based on this, I sat down and drew different versions. First with a pen, then in Photoshop, then in 3D.
To get a better feel for the light and the space, I then decided to create proper renderings of the box.

For the floor I’m planning to lay ship-deck parquet
