Once a family had a dream…

Having grown up in 1980s and 90s Bristol, and as a frequent, life-long visitor to travellers sites, I have spent decades dreaming about the perfect live-in vehicle. When I was 12 years old, I told my mother that, one day, I was going to live in a bus.

It never quite happened, although for a few years my husband and I had a long wheelbase T5 (sold in 2014 when we had twins and needed a kitchen extension). In 2018 my mother died and I invested the inheritance in making the travelling home dream come true.

“The Housebox” is a bespoke creation first dreamed up in 2019 as a Moroccan and Geometric-inspired tiny home. Converted by the unparalleled Ash at Supertramped, the project was unlucky enough to get caught by a global pandemic, Brexit-related material shortages and a workshop eviction,

The Housebox (affectionately known as Brenda) eventually made it home to York in 2023 and she continues to remind us to slow down and appreciate the journey.

The luxurious, bespoke creation has a stunning Moroccan arch, natural edge wood counters, blue tiling, and every modern comfort for a family of four.

Brenda features a spacious king-sized wall bed, a cozy, double kids’ bed, and a versatile dining area with ample seating.

With an Electronic Velux skylight, a wood burner, hot indoor shower and a shimmering disco ball, Brenda really brings the romance to travelling.

I can’t wait to share the experience with you.
