DKW Marketing + 1937

via: http://www.retronaut.com/2014/01/demonstrating-strength-dkw-car-chassis/

By the mid 1930s DKW was competing with the Opel Olympia as the best selling budget auto in Germany. The four-stroke and steel bodied Opel was a much more ‘modern’ vehicle so DKW needed to invest a lot of money in marketing to counter the argument that DKW cars were old fashioned by comparison.

A mediados de la década de 1930, DKW estaba compitiendo con el Opel Olympia por el coche mas economico en Alemania. El Opel de cuatro tiempos y chasis de acero era un vehículo mucho más "moderno" de modo que DKW necesitaba invertir mucho dinero en marketing para contrarrestar el argumento de que los coches DKW eran anticuados en comparación.

Old School BUS + Mobile HOME + Hank Butitta

It appears someone has just done what we all secretly wanted - buy a bus, rip the seats out, fit it with beds and tour the country with friends and family. Meet Hank, an architecture student, tired of drawing buildings that would never exist, for clients that were imaginary, and with details he didn't understand. He decided to keep his thesis very much real and full scale. Though the home isn't fully livable yet, it is getting close and is an ongoing project for the young architect. Take a tour through his converted bus and see how much living space and storage can be created on a 225 square foot home. 
The furniture is simple wood and the floor is made of reclaimed gym flooring. None of the structures built go above the window line keeping it linear and open to outside light.  

The windows were a problem for privacy but add to the openness, so Hank created a great solution. He built translucent insulation panels into the walls that can be raised with magnets. This allows for privacy and insulation yet keeps the option for natural lights and panoramic views alive. 

The seating area is very versatile and takes up four window bays. It is the largest area on the bus and it features four large seats on each side of the aisle. The seats closest to the front can be converted into a queen-sized sleeping area. The seats towards the back can be raised to create work or eating surfaces. The last seat has storage underneath. The bus is prepared for a multitude of scenarios with this flexible living area.  

There are two narrow beds at the back of the bus, on each side of the aisle that have great storage space underneath and on the front side facing the seating area. These beds can be pushed together created a queen-sized bed, with room for a small twin bed to the side. There is enough space to sleep six adults on the bus.

The kitchen on the bus is basically a pump sink and some storage cabinets for the time being. A chest fridge and gas cook top may be installed in the future.

Hank Butitta es un estudiante de Arquitectura que decidio centrar su Proyecto de Fin de Carrera en transformar un autobus escolar. Cansado de pensar en proyectos imaginarios para clientes inexistentes y dibujar detalles constructivos que no entendia, asposto por crear un proyecto a escala real.

Compro el bus, arranco los asientos y diseño un sencillo mobiliario de madera contrachapada donde alojar cajones, camas, mesas, cocina, y aseo.
Las ventanas eran un problema para la privacidad de los ocupantes del bus, asi que ideo una solucion ingeniosa mediante paneles translucidos ocultos tras las paredes que se levantan y fijan mediante un cierre magnetico.

La zona de asientos es muy versaltil, y se puede configuarar segun el uso, ya sea para comer, trabajar o descansar. Hay dos camas estrechas en el fondo del bus y bajo ellas se encuentra una gran zona de almacenaje. çlas camas se pueden unir creando una de tamaño doble.
En el autobus hay espacio para que duerman seis adultos.
La cocina se ha reducido a lo minimo, con un fregadero y cajones para almacenaje. 
También hay prevision para un frigorifico y cocina de gas.
