Exterior identity

A small office.
A very large identity.

The sign establishes a roadside business before a character enters the scene. The sketches test roof separation, a long side opening and the balance between the sign and the camper body.

Spatial design

Work and life,
inside one shell.

The same confined space has to support investigation and everyday survival. Work faces rest across a narrow passage, while storage fills the space beneath and behind the furniture.

Concept into 3D

Building the sign
and shell.

The roof sign turns the caravan into a street-facing detective office. The complete assembly brings the sign, curved shell and fitted interior together.

Final Unreal result

An inhabited place.

The owner works, sleeps and stores supplies in one room. A warm interior against cooler surroundings makes the maintained living space read as a refuge.
