APDS specializes in designing small-scale, off-grid & urban spaces: whether you need to modify an existing vehicle/container or build something entirely new.

"One Size" Fits No One

If you’re seeking a personal getaway or starting a small mobile venture, you may find that commercially available options just don’t fit the bill. Between soaring real estate prices and long waits for construction permits, creative problem solving is where APDS comes in. 

Maybe that ideal vacation home is no longer realistic, or a brick-and-mortar storefront seems totally out of reach. Modifying an existing vehicle or building something entirely new could be best for you.  Schedule a consultation with APDS to let us assess your needs and explore the possibilities.

Using advanced skills in 3D modeling, graphics, and fabrication, we leverage the intersection of art + engineering to create mobile spaces tailored to fit your needs and keep you in the loop each step of the way. From concept sketch to construction-ready documentation, APDS will assess your priorities, appreciate your idiosyncrasies, and get your vision moving.

Cafe / Bar Trailers & Containers

We craft unique cafe and bar trailers, built to meet and exceed health department standards.  Let us advise you on mobile-friendly kitchen equipment and thoughtfully plan your venture for maximum efficiency, minimum fatigue, and an experience your customers won’t soon forget!

We proudly serve and support fellow creatives and small businesses. From initial idea to launch day and beyond, we’ll always help any way we can!

Custom RV & Small Escapes

We specialize in customizing the body and interior of your existing RV. From minor alterations to frame-off renovations, we’ve got you covered.

With a classic vintage-inspired profile, the FLEE Escape is a lightweight, ultra-portable 14’ aluminum-frame trailer easily towed by a small SUV.  Like a teardrop trailer but with interior standing room, the FLEE features a rear hatch kitchenette, skylight, and standard size king mattress.

 

Festival Rigs

Luna made her debut at Burning Man 2022 after an intense three months of coordination and construction. Luna is an “art car” or conceptual art and music vehicle. Each night she hosts a dance party as she moves across the desert Playa. Partygoers rest by day in an RV body framed onto the truck’s flatbed so by night they can dance between the rails of a dizzying 50’ crescent moon.

What’s more, Luna can be disassembled, packed away and reassembled – year after year.

Andrea Postma holds a BA in Architecture from Woodbury University San Diego. A Michigan native, she is a former welder & weld inspector for the US Navy, as well as prior student of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute. Her hands-on experience drafting and building a wide range of luxury trailers, RVs, and airstream cafes means that your future vision will be as functional as it is memorable.
