About us
Passionate design meets vanlife
Van Conversion Layouts was created in 2020 to provide design services to individuals aiming to convert their own vans into campervans.
Today, the team works on designs for private individuals and professional build-out companies. With projects ranging from old builders vans and 4x4s to floating saunas.
Hello! I’m Michael from Van Conversion Layouts. I’m an architect with a passion for tiny homes and living on the road. In April 2019 I bought my first van and started designing and building it out into a fully fledged adventure vehicle. Together with my partner Verity, I set out on what was meant to be a 6 month trip into Europe. Three years and twenty or so countries later we were still driving around in the same van.
Soon after finishing the conversion on my own van I realised that I could help others realise their vanlife dreams and started Van Conversion Layouts. What started out as a small design studio focused on the conversion of your everyday builder’s van into an adventure wagon, soon became something more. We started to design the interiors of tiny homes, off roaders and even a floating sauna!
Design experience
In 2020 I left my role at a small architectural practice to travel in my campervan. Since then I have worked as a freelance architect and designer. I am now based between northern Portugal and London.
