Hi everyone! Thank you for all your kind comments and support! It means a lot! I have gotten questions about what we are up to now, and what happened to the van. Well, first we went on a few great trips ( Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia) and then we sold it. But only because I wanted to build a new van! I am currently (June 2024) building this new van, so if you are interested, follow me on instagram to see what I'm up to! instagram.com/nienke_borgman/ And if you want to see more of my work, visit my architecture website: www.studionb.nl
It's beautiful, it's beautiful when you both love it. My wife hates these things and I have no one to engage in such a thing with. Because of her "love" I only watch these things on channels like this and I can't enjoy such things. I wish you all the happiness in this universe and that you enjoy the boundless natural beauty together🌍🌎🌏
The Murphy bed seating is pushed into the space at the big opening door, the great outdoors, and so it does not 'squeeze' the space like other designs. The alcove look to the Murphy seating is very clever and the dimensional feel of the timber slats seems to make the wall appear to receed. 😊 Rear Murphy bed seats look at blank walls. Excellent solution to a tiny space. 😊😊😊😊😊 A toilet space that looks clean and hygienic and completely closed off and always available in the rear corner, perfect. 👏 👏 👏 😊
I'm stunned on this one... kitchen galley in the back, perfect right beside is the shower.. yes! then the hidden murphy bed perfect with elongated window on the door! This is way different on others! and it's still spacious! I really love this one!
I'm an architect and this is the most beautiful builds I have seen, I think this one is top of my list, this space design is so clean, minimalist and functional. "Less is More". I would make slight changes but your conversion is brilliant. Congratulations.
yes, well it is missing a head, unless I missed that... The captain of the bus, van or boat, needs a captains head! otherwise brilliant, though I think a "roof deck" over the solar panels can really finish out a project like this ... most rigid solar panels are very, very strong - standing up to large hail storms (better than most regular roofs or even car windshields). I suppose one could tow an "outhouse" behind the van... might even work better... keeping the water, steam, moisture and other things out of the main vehicle/tiny home!
Well done! For me, the clean lines and minimalistic design gives me a feeling of pure and clean living. The floor plan is so simple and light in architectural complexity. Honestly, When I watched the end of the video I thought to myself that there are people in New York and San Francisco paying $5,000 a month to live in a studio apartment with the exact square footage and/or same floor plan. If you use the space for what it is intentionally designed for then I can see this van pulling a small trailer with all the recreational toys one can have. Well done! I truly appreciate your video! Thank you!
I’d thought I’d seen every conceivable layout for a campervan and then you come up with this! Brilliant doesn’t even begin to describe it. The design is super clean and extremely calm. A beautiful build that I’m sure you both had fun doing. If we’re being pedantic, I’d swap out the propane fridge for a compressor type and the burners for induction. 👍👍👍👍
#metoo - but I've had more years experience than this lady is old. Every day is a school day. If it helps anyone - Lithium batteries from Linsa at Polinovel company Shenzhen. Maybe the most helpful sales person I've ever dealt with in 40 years 🙏
You guys worked great together! I don't know what your relationship is but noticed you took a moment for a hug! My wife passed away 8 months ago and I would give anything if I could hug her again! Don't ever take each other for granted!
It is by far one of the best minimalist build I've seen. It would be very helpful if you make a video breaking down the cost of the build and other details...
So much patience, So many details! You've both to be congratulated on the design and the care you showed to end up with the perfect and striking finish. TY for sharing! I really enjoyed this!! 🚘🚐😀😃😄
One of the most beautiful builds I have seen - you have every right to be proud of a job well done!!!! So practical and accommodating - the Murphy bed is awesome!
I've watched a LOT of van build videos. This clean uncluttered design with the Murphy bed and shower is one of the best I've seen. Well done. I'm subscribed! Looking forward to the full tour.
This is by far one of the most beautiful van builds I have ever seen, in fact it is number one.It’s is so simple,sleek,modern,clean and organized yet still has everything you need. Amazing work I love this build.
I think your layout is the most versatile layout I've seen. So spacies and airy, yet you fit everything needed for vanlife. Well isolated, enclosed from the front will keep it stealth and make it so much easier to keep perfect temperature both summer and winter.
Best design. I've been looking for one like this, but nearly all over conversion videos it's always "oh the bed has to be in the back" "got to have a garage under the bed". Glad y'all showed differently
Beautiful, logical, graceful, functional. I’ve seldom seen such a combination of positive design ideas in one vehicle, yet you made it look cool. Best van build I’ve seen for a long time, although I’m yet to be convinced as to the recirculating shower.
Probably one of the most well thought out designs... Kitchen, shower, toilet, bed, sofa. The containment partition wall from the cab is very well done and I'm not a fan of Murphy beds but this one works. It's clever and stylish and, yeh , well done!
The best van house I ever saw. I love it so much. Looks so comfortable. Its perfect. I hope you will post more about your van, how you cook in there, or any other activities. Love it. ❤❤❤
Wow! I've watched a ton of VC videos and just when I thought I'd seen every possible layout, this one comes along. It made a huge impression. Great job!
Having binged these types of vids the last few weeks, I am pleased and surprised to say you're one of the few girls that actually chipped in here. 9/10 videos are driven by the girls, but then the time-lapse are their fellas doing everything. Good on you for not perpetuating the stereotype. 👍
Everyone rightfully loves the Murphy bed, but one of my favorites is the narrow counter. Wide enough to be useful, without making it feel cramped. Subscribed, hoping to see more of the van, and supportingDutch/Flemish creatives. Goed bezig!
Love this build, especially the murphy bed! Also love that the kitchen is at the back of the van, something I haven't really seen in other builds. Been wanting to convert a shuttle bus, and was considering an L shaped kitchen in the front and a murphy bed at the back, but now I'm thinking the back may work better for a kitchen.
Fantastic!!!! I loved the way you built your van/home, different than the ones I've been seeing. The idea of the murphy bed was amazing! The kitchen was so cosy, light, perfect place to cook with room enough. Great job, guys!!! Congratulations!!!
There was a guy named Brandon featured on Jarred Tocci's channel. Probably my favorite van until now. This has a lot of those features the Murphy bed, separated cabin, recirculating shower. I love how you did the garage and bike port and have a window but kept it stealth. Amazing build.
Ancora più stupendo non avevo visto che lo avevano progettato voi ,siete mitici ,ne ho visti mille ma questo lo supera tutti complimenti ancora 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Im just shocked ... Just two of u can build masterpiece like this ? Really respect for the passion .... Minimalist and beautiful campervan u two build .... Really happy watching the progress from zero to hero
Absolutely stunning design! I would consider solar panels for energy instead of propane that I think it's really dangerous for van environment. Missed a max air vent in kitchen area so you could cook even in rainy days. Don't you think water reserve under the van can freeze with lower temperatures in north Europe? I loved the layout so functional, really the best I have ever seen, congratulations!!!
Siete stati molto molto Bravi, avete studiato e realizzato sfruttando tutti gli spazi al meglio, e avete ottenuto il massimo. Devo dire inoltre che l'idea del letto a scomparsa è stata GENIALE. BRAVI e Complimenti ancora 👍👏👏
You guys did an amazing job. Your van looks fab :-) So refreshing to experience a new layout. The lights also look fantastic, this solution is classy. Come to Denmark and build my van 😉 Safe journey to you ☀️
It was the transformation I most enjoyed seeing, fantastic. It's wonderful. I loved I loved I loved. It's very beautiful, it's very practical, the bed is fantastic. By far the best project I've seen to date. congratulations. I'm thinking about transforming a van, and I'm definitely going to steal this idea. congratulations
Wow. This is D BEST set up I've ever seen. Very spacious with everything that is needed. You have a wet bath with the toilet 👍, a great kitchen set up, I like that is in the back (privacy) & the Murphy bed blew me away. Who would have thought to make a Murphy bed in a van right there by the main door. Your build out is awesome. I would love to van life in that. Spacious & Elegant with everything that's needed. Love it. Great job 👏 👍 👌
very clever design, simple, elegant , comfy bed, spacious!! one of the best I have seen. Kitchen on the back, great...in this layout, you go to the kitchen, vs you are in the kitchen. Well thought design

I agree ☝🏽. Just out of curiosity, what changed would you make ?
I'd love to know also
yeah tell us :)
DITTO.....
Me, as well !
Unbelevably one of the most elegant builds ive seen out of about 10,000 van videos ive seen to date.
Thank you
Finally! Design has finally matched van build. Awesome job. It’s gorgeous.
I love the fact that when you close the car door, it just looks like a small(but super pretty) apartment!!
This is absolutely beautiful. So minimalist, yet it has everything you'll need.
Thank you!

@@NBorgman What a great partner to have when doing a van build. You are both extremely lucky!

Exactly. And in addition maybe a little porthole window in the kitchen wall. But it is brilliant!
Para colocar indução e ser auto-suficiente, será necessário revestir o teto inteiro de placas solares.
@@hector13mf52 ...plus many batteries.

I'm so sorry.. I read your comment to my boyfriend (we've been together for 9 years now), and we took a moment to hug:) .Thank you for reminding us!

Stunning. I've never liked the Murphy bed idea in a van but your layout has made me rethink it and I just love the whole idea now.

Where is the shower?
@@karinebuinier8351 at the back right, next to kitchen.
The best build I have seen. It looks like a peaceful haven from the busy world. Everything you need is there. Less really is more. ❤

I could Say the same, it is better than the commercial vans.
Sorry for my english, i am french
@@jpdumayet4738 you are right. (Sorry for English)
But there is no storage space whatsoever.
Simply ingenious use of space. Easy to see that you have a design background
This one of the best van tiny home with all features of kitchen wash room n living room. Excellent

Brilliant. Using a Murphy bed was unique.

Best of self-made campervan layout I ever saw! Congrats!
it's not only a wonder but also a quintessence of art to me.
seen so many van build
The way the bed is hidden is what impresses me the most
Best conversion I ever saw, sleek and functional.
you did an amazing job! ive seen hundreds of van builds and this is really the best one ive seen by miles
This is the best van design I've ever seen and I've seen a lot...good job.
Im just shocked ... Just two of u can build masterpiece like this ? Really respect for the passion .... Minimalist and beautiful campervan u two build .... Really happy watching the progress from zero to hero
this has to be my favorite so far!!!! just everything about it is perfect to me😍
I have seen many builds, also a lot of really expensive ones and i have to say this is one of the best i have ever seen! Amazing!!!

Best bed idea i ever seen !Congratulation ! If You had a tent on the roof with intern access IT can fit for 4 Peoples ! Great !
This is by far the nicest build I have seen!! Well done
Love the design and finish. Very well thought out layout. Thanks for showing us such a beautiful van conversion.
Very impressive use of the space.
Love the bed and the shower.
thanks for sharing.
It's the best distribution I've ever seen. It's wonderful 👏👏👏👏
Simply awesome. Beautiful and elegant design. True craftwork. You made it look so simple!
So open, so clean, so neat! If we weren’t a couple plus toddler I would build something quite like this.
This is absolutely beautiful. So minimalist, yet it has everything you'll need. Less is more.
Siete stati molto molto Bravi, avete studiato e realizzato sfruttando tutti gli spazi al meglio, e avete ottenuto il massimo.
Devo dire inoltre che l'idea del letto a scomparsa è stata GENIALE.
BRAVI e Complimenti ancora 👍👏👏
Felicitaciones!! El modo de camperizar la furgoneta es exquisito.nunca vi un modelo igual!!!
Seriously the best van conversion I’ve ever seen 😮
Probably the best conversion i've seen. Well done.
It's the best layout I've ever seen, congratulations!
You guys did an amazing job. Your van looks fab :-)
So refreshing to experience a new layout. The lights also look fantastic, this solution is classy.
Come to Denmark and build my van 😉 Safe journey to you ☀️
Je suis architecte d'intérieur 😊. Votre aménagement est tout simplement magnifique. Bravo ! Quel beau travail 👍🏻
Wow beautiful. Alot of worked but you did it right and it looks great and a asume it works Efficiently. Amazing how talented you 2 are.
This is the best van build ever. I especially love the kitchen because you did not use up the space with cupboards.
Wow 🤩🤩🤩 la più bella ed elegante conversione che abbia visto finora 😍 complimenti 🏆🥇
watched the entire build at 0.25 speed.. otherwise i would miss the essence and the sheer effort of this massive project :)
Awesome! And installing a murphy bed is a great idea! I have never seen a camper like this. Wonderful!
Most spacious conversions I’ve seen
This bed implementation is really something.
One of the best designs ive ever seen
Incrível ❤️ foi o melhor projeto em motorhome que eu já vi... Pois nunca vi ninguém fazer um projeto tão maravilhoso com muita mobilidade é perfeito!
That bed space is something else! Amazing, love the decor as well... Especially around the bed.
It was the transformation I most enjoyed seeing, fantastic. It's wonderful. I loved I loved I loved. It's very beautiful, it's very practical, the bed is fantastic. By far the best project I've seen to date. congratulations. I'm thinking about transforming a van, and I'm definitely going to steal this idea. congratulations

just wow..i love the murphy bed set up..great job guys
Love it 😍 Saw the tour firstly and now this Timelapse shows your attention to detail with the build. Great work, beautiful home on wheels 🌟
Different from what I have seen before. Nice! I like it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
this probably my favorite…kinda wish there was a window in back but the kitchen but it’s great regardless.
What a sleek conversion - well designed and built.
The best I’ve seen so far !!!! Excellent job!!!!
That was the best Camper fit-out i have ever seen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Love your design & layout. Hope you both enjoyed many tours 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻
This is the best layout I have seen!! Lovely home ❤️
This murphy bed is the best solution for a bed I've ever seen for a big van. I'd be missing more windows in there, but very very cool!
one of the nicest builts i have seen so far
Congratulations, this is the best camp for me 👏👏👏
Definitely one of the best designs I've seen
This is the most beautiful van conversion, very well thought out!
The way you edited the jumps cuts with the music is very pleasing.
This is a whole new level!
Really nice work! Most of the vanlifers have no clue and two left hands, but you two are awesome!
Prachtig. Heel knap allemaal en een superhandige indeling. Heel veel plezier met/in jullie campervan.
A simple, elegant design. Bravo
