Combining a crisp, contemporary profile with mid-century modernist elegance, Drake is a brand new recreational vehicle house by Land Ark RV that radically redefines the staid image of the typical camper trailer. Designed by American husband-wife duo Brian and Joni Buzarde based on their own experience of building and living in a mobile home, Drake provides all the modern amenities one could ask for, fleshed out in a sleek environment of understated luxury and minimalist sensibility. It is in other words like any other thoughtfully designed high-end house, albeit one you can drive around anywhere you wish to go. Land Ark RV was founded by Brian and Joni, a Texan couple whose dream was to build their own home on wheels so they wouldn’t be anchored in the same place. Their first endeavour in 2012, a DIY prototype named Woody arising while brainstorming ideas on Southwest Airlines napkins, was painstakingly hand-built in a Houston warehouse after working hours and on weekends with the occasional helping hand of a friend. Once completed, it was put to the test when the couple decided to move to Colorado while living in Woody which proved to be a seminal period because it allowed them to observe firsthand what worked best in terms of privacy and functionality, from storage ideas and plumbing to sleeping arrangements and natural lighting.

德雷克结合了一个清新的，当代的轮廓与世纪中叶现代主义优雅，德雷克是一个全新的休闲车房子由土地方舟房车，从根本上重新定义典型的露营拖车的稳重形象。德雷克由美国夫妻二人布赖恩和乔尼·布扎德根据他们自己在移动住宅中的建筑和生活经验设计，在低调奢华和简约感性的圆滑环境中，提供人们可以要求的所有现代便利设施。换句话说，就像其他任何经过深思熟虑设计的高端住宅一样，尽管你可以在任何你想去的地方开车。兰德方舟房车是由布赖恩和乔尼创建的，这对得克萨斯夫妇的梦想是用轮子建造自己的家，这样他们就不会被锚定在同一个地方了。2012年，他们的第一次尝试是在西南航空公司的餐巾纸上集思广益，制作了一个名为伍迪(Woody)的DIY原型。在休斯敦的一座仓库里，工作时间和周末，在朋友的偶尔帮助下，他们辛苦地手工制作。一旦完工，这对夫妇就决定搬到科罗拉多州住在伍迪(Woody)，这被证明是一个开创性的时期，因为它让他们能够亲眼目睹隐私和功能方面最有效的东西，从存储想法和管道到睡眠安排和自然照明。

Brian and Joni’s passion for homes on wheels has finally now culminated in Drake, Land Ark RV’s 2018 triple-axle trailer. Featuring black corrugated siding, a streamlined profile and an idiosyncratic arrangement of rectangular windows, from the outside Drake looks like something out of a cubist painting. Despite what seems to be a sleek yet haphazard composition, the design is an example of form following function where every detail serves a particular purpose. The placement and sizing of the windows, for example, meticulously corresponds to the interior layout whereas the inverted trapezoid shape provides extra space to the two lofts accommodating the camper’s two bedrooms.

布莱恩和乔尼对车轮上的房屋的热情现在终于达到了德雷克，土地方舟房车的2018年三轴拖车。具有黑色波纹壁板，流线型轮廓和矩形窗户的特殊安排，从外面德雷克看起来像是从立体派绘画。尽管似乎是一个圆滑但杂乱无章的组合，设计是一个形式跟随功能的例子，其中每一个细节服务于一个特定的目的。例如，窗户的放置和大小与室内布局密切对应，而倒梯形形状则为两个阁楼提供额外空间，以容纳露营者的两个卧室。

The dark exterior gives way to white-washed pinewood interiors, which along with the ample daylight and carefully curated views outside, foster a much needed sense of spaciousness. As Brian says, psychology and emotional response play big roles when you're living in such a relatively small space, so subtle moves can have a large impact”. Apart from the two double bedrooms that are accommodated on the loft spaces on either side of the trailer, there is also a flex room that can be transformed into an office or bedroom—courtesy of a pull-out sofa that raises Drake’s sleeping capacity to six—a kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances and a large breakfast bar, a fully equipped bathroom, and a sitting room. Meanwhile, built-in drawers under the couch, discreet wardrobes and storage soffits provide ample storage without cramping the living spaces. Designed to withstand cold mountain climates, including heavy snow loads, as well as the scorching desert heat, and fulfilling all road safety requirements, Drake is both an ideal weekend getaway for every terrain and the perfect mobile home for adventurous types who also have an eye for design.

黑暗的外部提供了白色洗涤的松木内部的方式，与充足的日光和谨慎的外面的景色一起，营造了一种非常需要的空间感。正如布莱恩所说的，心理和情感反应在你生活在一个相对较小的空间时扮演重要角色，所以细微的动作会有很大的影响”。除了两个被容纳在拖车两侧的阁楼空间上的双卧室外，还有一个可以转换为办公室或卧室的弯曲室--由一个拉出沙发提供，该沙发使德雷克的睡眠能力提高到6个，厨房配有不锈钢器具和一个大的早餐棒，一个设备齐全的浴室和一个客厅。同时，在沙发下的内置抽屉、谨慎的衣柜和储藏室，提供了充足的储存，而不使生活空间抽筋。德雷克设计用于抵御寒冷的山区气候，包括大雪负载，以及炎热的沙漠热，以及满足所有道路安全要求，德雷克都是每个地形的理想周末度假，也是理想的移动住宅，他们也有设计的眼睛。
