The entry doors lead into an expansive, open-plan living/dining area, where the flue of a wood-burning stove runs upward through the double-height space.

Inside, an open living area sits opposite the kitchen. Tall ceilings and multiple windows make the space feel larger than its actual compact size.

The master bedroom is located at the rear of the skoolie to give the parents privacy. It was also important for the children to have their own space for sleeping, eating, and playing.

“I wanted to make this feel like home to the client, so a lot of the final touches were brought in to be specific for the client and their children,” says designer Matthew Welsh Weinberger. “The bunk curtains were sewn with fabric picked by the client and colors based on their children’s whimsical personalities.”

Designer Matthew Welsh Weinberger was introduced to the owners of the skoolie by a mutual friend after he saw some furniture and built-in work Welsh Weinberger had done in his own home. It was the first built project at this scale that he had taken on professionally.

In the kid’s bath, the dimensional tiles are designed by Kho Liang Ie for MOSA, the colorful tapware is by Vola, and the light fixtures are from Barn Lighting. “It’s all kind of mismatched and playful,” says Tang.

Custom cherry cabinetry with integrated handles and sliding doors brings a furniture-like component to the open kitchen. Three 1960s Scandinavian flush mounts by Arnold Wiigs Fabrikker brighten the soapstone counter, while two cognac leather stools by Afteroom for MENU are tucked beneath.

Joel Loblaw, a landscape designer, created "a series of outdoor rooms," including an alfresco kitchen that is sheltered beneath a cedar trellis. The Butterfly chairs are from Fresh Home and Garden in Toronto.

The couple outfitted the kitchen with stainless steel counters and cabinetry and shelving made from Douglas fir sawmill offcuts.

The interior of the Airstream was reimagined using reclaimed materials. The flooring is made of old-growth Douglas fir, and the ceiling features yellow cedar sawmill offcuts. Ryan crafted the built-in sofa using more cedar sawmill offcuts, while Catherine sewed the drapery and the upholstery, using fabric she collected from various thrift shops and IKEA.

Designer and builder Ryan Hanson and his wife Catherine Macleod turned a 1970s Airstream into a tiny getaway for their family.

A cantilevered addition creates more space for the kitchen and pantry, as well as this cozy new family nook.

A workspace was installed below the preserved hutch cabinets. The staircase was also kept. Wood lines new openings, in contrast with retained casework.

Now the facade is distinguished by bright yellow and soft gray paint, and oversize windows.

Designed by Hans Thyge & Co for Icons of Denmark, Crossover is—as its name suggests—a combination of functional task chair and refined meeting chair. The resulting chair responds to the body’s natural movements and has just two manual adjustments, height and tilt, to keep things simple. This softer take on a task chair makes it perfect for the home office.

The new VG&P mirror by British designer Ed Carpenter, design director at Very Good & Proper, is a bright yellow pop of color with a fun yet minimal form.

Woven furniture was a big trend at this year's London Design Festival. The Kodo lounge sofa, designed by Studio Segers for Belgian furniture brand Vincent Sheppard, was one of our favorites. Woven from tactile acrylic rope and featuring piles of quick-dry cushions in on-trend muted hues, the all-weather sofa brings a refined tropical vibe to outdoor spaces.
