3 Interior Designers Convert The Same School Bus | Space Savers

3 Interior Designers Convert The Same School Bus | Space Savers | Architectural Digest

День тому

We gave interior designers Joy Moyler, Darren Jett, and Noz Nozawa a photo of the same abandoned school bus-then asked each of them to transform the space, however they pleased with no restrictions. Three artists, one canvas, each bringing something different to the space. Which bus conversion has you considering the van life?

Her apartment design, I think the first time she was featured. I loved the window decal idea.

Noz is the best. It's practical, usable, and reflects what life on the road actually is, like the need for insulation, ventilation, sturdy floors, etc. ❤

@mkeerkens Місяць тому

Love all three, but Darren's was super lush. Joy's space also felt very elevated. Noz's is rustic and fun. For once I liked all three! Would love to see this series continue with: * Treehouse * Yurt * Poolhouse * Barge/houseboat * Log cabin in the woods

@normasmith6633 Місяць тому

His design is too sterile and uncomfortable. I always feel uncomfortable with his designs. His style isn’t fit for homes his style fits better for party spaces and clubs.

@AllThePeppermint 27 днів тому

I agree. I am stressing out every time his design comes on the screen. It's too busy, overstimulating, and I strongly suspect my car sickness would be worse if I was a passenger on that his bus.

@mainem.4513 Місяць тому

I don’t usually gravitate towards Noz’s designs, but this is just so ethereal! I’m immediately transported into a storybook. Love Darren’s, but the dark fur throw throws me off. Joy’s is minimal, elegant, and cozy, but totally lacks storage.

I can already feeling myself boiling alive in sunny days in Joy's design. And frankly it feels a bit cold, like the lobby of a big company. Love Noz design : it's practical, it's cosy, you can live in it fairly long term. Darren would be cool for five minutes and then it would ba a bit oppressive, I think.

@nataliaalfonso2662 Місяць тому

Why would a kitchenette be behind a bedroom with a bathroom instead of up front where the table is? Noz’s is the best, and very cute. Great use of space. But Darren’s use of space is amazing! I might not love the aesthetic and colors, but he really made the most of the space.

Definitely a scale issue on a lot of these concepts. One put pretend insulation on the walls but never actually thickened the walls in the render. These can be pretty walk through installs but simply aren’t realistic

This is the first time I liked all three designs, and that turquoise bus... Giving me Charlie's Angeld vibes... I have no problem having any of these buses... Wow!!! ❤

@crazyguy_1233 Місяць тому

Noz did a perfect job here. Hers looks like she actually thought about practicality with a bus house. She made it have a practical design while still being super cozy. Joy’s design looked nice but it’s not practical for the road but I did like the storage over the wheels it helped separate the sleeping and living spaces. Darren’s style just wasn’t it. His was way too sterile and uncomfortable feeling it’s not cozy feeling at all. His style is more of a party bus or a club not a mobile bus house.

Darren’s design reminds me of a cool rental transport. The one you get for a party with your friends or bachelorette party and etc. Noz’s represents a camper van lifestyle, “life on a road”.

@thozacatz3684 Місяць тому

Darren’s bus would be great as a party bus rental for overnight concert trips or entertainment venues. I love Joy’s open and accessible roof top and color scheme. This is something that you could use for attending music festivals, tail gates, southern family reunions, weekend getaways, wine trips to Napa, Sonoma or trips to California coastline or beaches or glamping campsites. Noz’s is truly designed for extended bus life. I prefer neutral colors (beige,tans,brown, khakis, creams). The novelty of stencils would quickly fade. Wallpaper is best. Glow in the dark/peel on stars or a palm tree 🌴-a jungle or blue sky illusion for the ceiling would be cool. Would love to see the next challenge with a budget.

Noz is the only one that understood the assignment. Joy's is beautifully impractical....the bathroom would need to be outside based on her design :-( Carpet would be a nightmare...furniture that isn't grounded etc. Darren's didn't mention insulation and all that shine would be over stimulating and hot as heck. Great for a party bus but impractical for living in long term.

@fredsalfa Місяць тому

Darren’s really knocks it out of the park what a stunning design, futuristic streamlined usable and it actually feels like a jetliner than a bus it’s amazing. Joys is so conservative more like a static lounge room that doesn’t move. And Noz’s so eclectic and practical she hasn’t really gone overboard with anything here

@mandlerparr1 Місяць тому

I think a mix of Noz and Joy designs would be great. I really like the couch and chair styles that joy picked, but make the couch more multi use. The chairs could replace those bench like dining seats, but keep the hook idea and just have them hooked on while driving.
