Find the right unit
We locate a vintage Airstream suited to the brief — by year, by length, by condition, by the soul of the trailer itself. Acquisition is part of the design.
Commission · Custom Airstream
We take a small number of Airstream commissions each year. Every project is white-glove and source-design-build, undertaken in close collaboration with the client over many months.
A Perpetually Devastated Airstream is not a renovation. It is a restoration: a discarded object returned to its full integrity, then composed against the place it will live. We treat each commission as a long arc that begins with the search for the right unit and continues through programming, fabrication, and on-site delivery.
The practice is shaped by intent and by limit. Four projects a year is what allows the work to be the work — slow enough to be exacting, small enough that the same hands stay on the build from beginning to end.
The Process · 04 Phases
The arc of a commission, from the first conversation to a sited Airstream. Each phase takes months; the whole process typically runs eight to fourteen.

02 — Design
Negar leads programming in close collaboration with you. Floor plan, materials palette, joinery details, lighting, and upholstery are decided before the first cut.
03 — Build
Jeffrey runs the shop. The same crew stays on the build through completion. Every joint, every surface, every fitting is held to a single standard.
04 — Deliver
We transport, site, and commission the finished Airstream — on a coast, on a mountain, on a working ranch. We hand it over only when it is ready to be lived in.

We respond to every inquiry. The first conversation costs nothing and commits to nothing — it's where we learn whether the project is right for the studio, and whether the studio is right for the project.
