THE 70’s CARAVAN
TOURNAI - BELGIUM - 2022
The 70’s caravan is the second project I‘ve done in my purpose. The caravan was in bad condition and a lot of work has been needed to restore it. I aimed to create a warm and contemporary design. As the tiny house, the caravan has some weight properties to follow. Specifications were to create a tiny kitchen, a toilet and shower area, a desk area, a permanent bed for two, plenty of storage, and a dressing on 7 square meters only. In this project, modularity and functionality were the keys.

Considering the caravan has been built in 1977, finding some of the parts was a challenge. To be able to replace the old window’s handle, I created a 3D model to be printed. I chose PETG material for its strengh, resistance to high temperatures, and UV properties.

‘‘SAND’’
‘‘SAND’’ is a 15th-century estate with four grade II* listed buildings (the manor, the cottage, the shed, and the gazebo). There is also a beautiful Tudor garden, which will be open to the public. To create an attractive site, the owner aims to organise classical concerts in the garden and requested the construction of a small cafe. The manor, the cottage, and a shed will be restored into holiday dwellings. The building site is still in progress.
