We converted a van into a tiny home on wheels – the bed tucks away into an unusual place, it’s our ‘concrete oasis’
A COUPLE proved you don’t need a lot of space to create a beautiful home.
They converted a van into a tiny house, complete with modern finishes and comfortable sleeping arrangements.
Duo Nicole and Edden (@nicoleandedden) have spent much of their time working on what they call a “concrete oasis.”
They turned a working van into a tiny home on wheels and shared a TikTok video touring the idyllic space.
While the exterior of the army green Mercedes van looked stunning against the desert backdrop of Joshua Tree National Park, what was was even more impressive was the inside.
Nicole sat on a folding stool outside of the van, enjoying a cup of coffee on the breakfast table that pulled out from inside the car and doubled as a storage unit.
Inside, the couch was a modern beige sectional with a retractable table over it and storage underneath.
Above the family room hung the bed, which lowered down to eye level with the flip of a switch.
The kitchen, too, looked straight out of a magazine – it’s smooth wooden cabinets, dark and sleek appliances, and beige counter tops gave it a sophisticated feel.
As a bonus feature, each cabinet held ample space thanks to additional interior shelving.
And in the back of the van was the bathroom, complete with a glossy shower, high-end sink, and a toilet, which could be tucked away for more bathroom space.
“THE CONCRETE OASIS: A quick tour of just some of the features in this build – we forgot to include so many,” they wrote in the caption, suggesting there were more hidden elements to explore.
Commenters were sold on the lifestyle.
“Hands down the most elegant, well thought out build I’ve seen,” one person praised.
“One of the nicest and efficient vans I’ve seen,” noted another.
