Hollywood discovered Airstream trailers decades ago. Since the ‘50s it’s been common to see Airstreams parked at film locations and on sound stage backlots throughout Tinseltown. So, it wasn’t a surprise to see a brand new Airstream Eddie Bauer Edition sitting in the parking lot across from the Matthew Hofmann Custom Design we delivered for [...]
This is a fully renovated, classic Airstream 1984 Motorhome with very low original miles. The sustainable design concept has repurposed much of the original interior by modifying the existing components in a way to reduce clutter and reveal a clean, minimalist ascetic. The interior has undergone a significant renovation with contemporary styling. Real bamboo floor [...]
Tucked away in a super secret Southern California coastal canyon, two vintage Airstream owners are feeling very, very content. This Hollywood-connected couple now does their work from not just one, but two “his-and-hers” HofArc Airstreams. Her’s (chivalry is not dead at HofArc!) is a 1964 Globetrotter 19’ — and it truly has it all. His [...]
This Montecito residence by Hofmann Architecture had the original intention of replacing just the doors and windows. “The home had a solid plan and an excellent structure,” says Matthew Hofmann, “however, it felt disjointed and awkward.” The clients were open to ideas for upgrading the outdated ’70s ranch house appearance. An abundance of natural site [...]
Last year, a client came to us requesting a floating houseboat (FloBo) redesign and remodel project. She had recently purchased the funky Mississippi Queen-style, 3-level FloBo that was parked in a southland harbor. The FloBo is about 2400 square feet of living space, with three floors of about 800sf each. She wanted a design team [...]
Our latest creation is easily our favorite Airstream renovation, yet. But we’re not getting too attached to her because she leaves America in just a few weeks. We’re loading her on a boat headed for her new home Down Under. Now you know why we nicknamed her, “Aussie” (pronounced Ozzy). This 27-foot 1974 Airstream Overlander [...]
This isn’t your Grandma’s trailer, but if it were she’d have been the talk of the neighborhood, especially if it was an RV Park. When it comes to spacious elegance this 1973 Airstream Sovereign feels more like a Hilton hotel suite than a 31-foot RV. There are more amenities than most upscale hotels for [...]

There’s a reason why this 1967 Caravel 17′ has been featured in an upcoming HGTV broadcast to be aired in the Fall of 2012 — it’s stunning. It’s perfect as a mobile office for remote working in style, or a longterm road trip adventure, or weekend beach outings, or even as a spare guestroom at [...]
Designed to exist in harmony with nature, the concept of the home is to facilitate an intimate understanding of its surrounding context by intentionally blurring the boundaries between inside and outside space. The home is one of juxtaposed opposites. Refined finishes with rustic natural materials. The picture windows throughout the house frame views to the [...]
