The Design Philosophy
Build Overview
"Designed for a family of four, Maria's Santa Monica Sprinter 144 pairs extreme space efficiency with a striking three-tone palette featuring warm slatted wood accents, solid white paneling, and a pure black ceiling and floor. Built around a compact 25-inch bathroom footprint, this layout maximizes space for custom slatted-face cabinetry, a plush rear dinette conversion bunk, a laser-cut flower partition wall, and an upgraded forward-facing leather swivel bench seat that folds completely flat into an extra bed."
