A Cool Caravan?
Posted by Jeff Awesome in General Design on August 14th, 2009
Caravans have never really had a good image, the thoughts of old people and plates smashing every time you go around a corner put most people off.
Until now that is!
A company called Mehrzeller have completely re-invented the design of the caravan with amazing new mobile homes that have people rethinking there stance on taking a holiday without the luxury of a hotel. The interior and built in furniture used are stunning to look at and so well planned out it looks positively cavernous inside.
I would happily spend a week away in that! Although I think my car would struggle to tow it though, probably have to get van hire and get a bit more power under my right foot before I could get anywhere 
Houseboats
Posted by Jeff Awesome in General Design on August 13th, 2009
Now I have seen a lot of houseboats and the like on the canals around Devon and have always been quite fascinated with them as a place to permanently live. But what could you build if you had more room than a canal? How about something like this!
Look at the sofas in it! Although I would probably want a set of curtains or blinds for privacy!
Obviously it would need its own power source, so you could have roof mounted solar panels or even a paddle wheel set up! That way you could be an environmentally friendly house owner, like I was talking about in my previous post about Global Warming.
This whole design came from some German dudes over on SchwimmHausBoot. I dont speak any German so I have no idea what they are on about but my god can they make an awesome boat!
