As soon as I saw this picture over on Dwell magazine's homepage, I thought, "I know that airstream." I know it, because it's our neighbor! We've been curious about Andreas Stavropoulos' airstream for awhile now, so seeing it on Dwell.com finally satisfied our curiosity.
The airstream that Stavropoulos currently lives in in Berkeley, Ca has a fascinating story behind it (one that includes Craigslist, a sculpture studio, and a horse ranch). Using just 150 square-feet, he was able to design a clean, beautiful home.
The greenness of this airstream lies mostly in the size, but Stavropoulos also used cork flooring, and did all of the work on the trailer himself.

He is living my dream more or less. Not an airstream, but I have wanted to do a double Shipping container dwelling for a good while. I love the idea, but most of the ones I see online regularly are over engineered (more house then container) or just theory. I love the idea of big living in small spaces.
That's great he made it work! Good for him and major kudos. Even with so little space, he managed to make it look sleek and modern.
Only thing I'm not sure about is the stuffed octopus on the bed...

Amazing. And hey, that stuffed octopus is a prince! A prince, I tell you!
Very impressive!
Very nice restoration and improvements. But where does he use the toilet?
nice trailer. it is unclear from the article if he lives in this full time or if it is his "mobile studio" that he camps in on project sites. if he lives there, god bless him. i couldn't. if it is his "mobile studio", that makes way more sense and its a beautiful camper.
Absolutely wonderful! And just at the same time one of my fave artists is creating her airstream series: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leahgiberson/3990462112/
