Bespoke Van Conversions

Jack Richens of This Moving House, first started his business by transforming a second-hand 2012 Mercedes Sprinter, where he and his family of four can comfortably sleep, dine and unwind during adventurous holidays on the road. The cool camper uses space-saving boat design techniques to maximise its limited living space, such as the stacked beds that provide room for all four to sleep rather comfortably, and a porthole at the top bed keeps things open. The kitchen area is compact package, with a long, narrow sink, a two-burner stovetop, and just the right amount of counter space, whilst the dining area features the original captain-style chairs that swivel around. The interior of this impressive conversion feels spacious, with the curvaceous detailing making it feel very much like you´re onboard a ship of some kind. The cool camper cost about $10,000, with equipment and materials costing $8,500. You can read more about the construction process on This Moving House’s blog, and Richens has also started taking commissions to convert other vehicles into comfortable homes away from home.

Busypeople KTM Scrambler

Over the years the KTM 390 Duke has become a popular platform for customization, and this latest build belongs to Akash Das from BusyPeople, a graphic designer based in Mumbai, India. Das saw potential in the 390 for a modern scrambler, and he started off by re-drawing the subframe  creating one that is much flatter and shorter. He also designed many of the custom parts using 3D software, then 3D printed prototype parts, before having the final pieces machined ...
