Our client, a life coach and meditation practitioner, came to Wood & Locks with a request: to transform the forgotten vintage Play Mor trailer into a back yard home office and meditation space. Working within the client's functional requests, we designed a space where nostalgia meets modern tranquility.

Breathing new life into this more shabby-than-chic vintage gem, thoughtful design choices went into creating a space that seamlessly bridges the gap between a home office for one and a multi-person meditation alcove.

The trailer was carefully stripped down to its bare essentials. This involved removing the interior fittings, appliances, and any elements that were no longer usable or not aligned with the new design concept. Structural repairs were a critical part of the process. Any rust or damage to the frame was addressed, ensuring the trailer's integrity. This step was essential to make the trailer both safe and sturdy for its new purpose. The interior design was a fusion of vintage charm and modern functionality — reclaimed wood was used to create warm, rustic accents, and the layout was optimized for the new functions of a multi-purpose space. The interior was insulated for climate control, and new electrical and lighting systems were installed for practicality and ambiance. The color palette and decor choices were designed to create a calming and meditative atmosphere. Soft, soothing colors, such as blues and greens, were used to foster a sense of tranquility. The choice of furnishings, including modular office furniture and sleeping quarters, were curated for both comfort and style.

The restoration process was a careful blend of preserving the trailer's vintage charm and adapting it to a modern purpose. The result was a unique, inviting, and functional backyard office and meditation destination that celebrated the best of both worlds – the past and the present.
