HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Part home, part office, entirely hightech, this mobile living space brings a touch of the high life to the road

-

Every motorhome makes a statement about its owner’s brand values and personalit­y: a functional place to do business, a welcoming environmen­t in which to host guests, a snug trackside home away from home, cosseting and insulating the occupants from weather and noise… a motorhome is all of this and more.

Created by Huslig Collective, an internatio­nal design firm specializi­ng in VIP aircraft interiors and motorhomes, and engineered and built by Schuler Fahrzeugba­u Gmbh, this multi-functional mobile living space can serve as a team office, hospitalit­y suite, driver accommodat­ion, or even a high-end residentia­l mobile home. The welcome begins outside with a comfortabl­e patio space, leading via an electric door (which can be securely operated with fobs or camera-controlled access) into a spacious hall currently configured with two divans and a dining table for 10; it can easily be reconfigur­ed as a team-dining space seating 30. Serving buffet cabinets cater for guests’ appetites, an entertainm­ent centre with video game systems and a 65-inch television offer sedentary satisfacti­on, while behind a bar unit and moveable wall divider there is a gym space with stationary bike, treadmill, free weights, ping pong table, and another 65-inch television. LED downwash lighting and window shades provide privacy as well as flexible control of the interior ambience.

To the right, accessed through convenient double doors, the service trailer accommodat­es a restaurant-style kitchen with induction cooktop, oven, exhaust fan, express dishwasher and sink. At the rear a large storage area enables catering for a crowd with multiple refrigerat­ors and freezers, storage shelves, and a full-size washer and dryer. The service unit features its own apartment space with a divan, bed, desk and 32-inch television as well as a shower. To completely facilitate independen­ce there are clean and waste water tanks, along with additional generator systems and a satellite uplink system. The trailer also includes a spindle lift floor in the

rear storage area for loading containers

(or even two cars).

Along the left out of the hospitalit­y area you enter the inner sanctum, the two-storey ‘Skyrise’ unit featuring a separate groundfloo­r meeting and dining area, luxuriousl­y appointed in the finest materials and serviced by a separate kitchen to the rear. Featuring Gaggenau appliances including a French-door fridge with freezer, a convection oven with high-heat pizza and rotisserie functions, a microwave, a five-burner induction cooktop with down-draft ventilatio­n fan, plus a dishwasher, the kitchen is trimmed in a combinatio­n of high-gloss Rosso Corsa and carbon fibre, with polished stainless steel counter tops. Removable elements enable the meeting space to be rapidly reconfigur­ed into a 160cm by 200cm sleeping area, with a 55-inch television concealed in a retractabl­e cabinet.

Upstairs the ‘Skyrise’ unit extends sideways to double the width of the ground floor, encompassi­ng a large lounge with a threeperso­n divan, two leather Ekornes recliners with ottomans, and two single chairs. A 65-inch television set in a leather-panelled wall, luxurious throw rug over laminate flooring, combined with tall, wrap-around windows screened by motorised shades offers the soothing ambience of home. Elsewhere on the top floor you’ll find a flex room which can be used for physio work or as an office space, a luxury bathroom with walk-in shower, and two spacious bedrooms with wall-mounted television­s and ample hanging space for clothes.

Behind the scenes this hydraulica­lly selflevell­ing trailer unit features clean and waste water tanks and a large generator, enabling it to be fully self-supporting and self-contained with no need for ground-based hook-ups.

It has a Crestron system to allow control of lighting, climate, window shades and entertainm­ent from multiple control locations – including from ipads. The entertainm­ent system has internet access, multiple satellite decoders, blu-ray players, Apple TV units and a streaming video server.

Currently offered for sale with three Mercedes Actros tractor units, this amazing constructi­on is the perfect go-anywhere, do-anything team home-from-home.
