August Hausman Airstream

The Airstream Haus, parked in Ojai, California. August says that when your dwelling is small, it’s important to make the most of outdoor space.

August decided to forgo an enclosed shower, opting instead to build an outdoor shower where he keeps his trailer parked. A composting toilet means that there is no black water tank to pump out.

The minimalist bathroom features another walnut countertop. The Airstream’s curves and lack of straight walls presented a challenge for August, who built all of his own cabinetry.

An oil painting of American bison is an homage to August’s grandfather’s ranch in Montana.

The kitchenette is an exercise in space efficiency; a handmade walnut insert covers the sink to maximize counter space.

“I wanted it to feel like an old Airstream, just with a refreshed new face. So I decided to start with white and have only one wood tone, walnut,” says August.

The Airstream Haus’s interior is minimalist, but comfortable, boasting a fully functional kitchen and queen-size bed that doubles as a couch.

Musician and interior designer August Hausman lives in a restored 1968 Airstream Land Yacht that once belonged to his father.
