- čas přidán 28. 08. 2024
- The most in-depth tour of the Concrete Oasis, our first campervan build.
A campervan experience in a class of its own.
The Concrete Oasis redefines the boundaries between adventure and style!
Inspired by Tulum-style architecture, its visual aesthetic is nothing short of breathtaking. With European-imported concrete-like finishes, walnut wood accents, top-level systems, and an unmatched attention to detail, this van breaks all the norms of the traditional campervan world. Every inch has been meticulously designed to offer a truly unique and immersive experience.

Have seen literally thousands of videos on van and camper builds this is the best layout/build I have seen. Congratulations.
This is so amazing to hear, thank you for your kind words!!
i agree
@@nicoleandedden I will be honest... It's gonna be hard to beat this layout in the future with your next builds.
I came here to say the same. I saw another video of this early in my research. I have since seen thousands of other builds, and The Concrete Oasis remains my #1all time favorite build.
Haha you may be right... But we're gunna try!@@Kadeda
Looking at all the vanlifer's, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't want to brush in the kitchen sink.
Hahah yeah we agree!
You’ve done it…. you’ve created the van of my dreams. This build is simply perfect. From the aesthetic to the functionality to the bed feature and all of the amenities, it’s just stunning.
We appreciate that so much! Thank you 🙏🏽

I agree with Robert - it's probably the best layout and design I have seen - well done.
Thanks so much :)
I hadn't really heard about "van life" or the culture or why people do it before I started watching tiny home builds. I've watched many van builds because I love decor and seeing how people utilize small spaces. This van build is perfection and probably the only van I could actually see myself living in if I thought this lifestyle was for me. It's stunning.
Thank you so much for sharing, we appreciate it a ton! We had similar thoughts and knew if we were going to build one it would have to be different from the others 😅
Really impressive! It does feel like a tiny home rather than a van. You are probably the most organized van builder I've ever seen. Congrats!
Hahah thanks so much, that's a huge compliment for me! Appreciate the kind words :)
My favorite van build, ever!!!!
Wow, thanks so much! 😍🙏🏽
Elegant, functional, and simple yet fantastic use of space......one of the best builds (if not the best) I've seen, and I've been viewing builds for 7 or 8 years......
Appreciate that so much! Thank you :)
this is the most INSANELY COOL van build ive EVER seen!!! Down to each and every detail, the layout, the lighting, the design, the practicalness, literally every single thing is UNREAL!! I would pay a lot of money to have a van just like this! Well done y'all
This is the best van I have ever seen. It incredible how you have created the living space separate from the cab. Congratulations to you both on an amazing job. Enjoy your travels.
Happy you like it! Thanks so much :)
This is top 3 in my all time van builds that I have seen.
Appreciate that so much!!
I have not stop talking about your van to all my friends how amazing it is since I watch a video featuring your can. Best functional features/layout! hands down. And so pretty as well!! Best best best!!!
Wow, thanks so much! That's awesome to hear and means the world to us :)
Best Van build up I have ever seen highly organised space efficient & classic .
this is one of the best use of spaces ever, congrats, hope it 's meeting all your needs, it sure looks great
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it :)
This design makes living in a van seamless. The bed and bathroom are so well thought out
Thanks so much! We agree, the layout just works perfectly ❤️
Have been following Van builds for over 6 years to plan my first van build after I graduate. This is the most beautiful, the most overall functional sprinter van I have ever seen.
Incredibly fantastic for a first van build. Am amazed.
Appreciate that so much! Means the world to us after a scary and difficult first build, but we're very proud of what we created. Thank you! ❤️
Thank you both so very much. Yes I will take the course it's worth every penny. It's nice to know you guys are willing to consult with me.
I will reach out when I get that crossroad ❤ much love ....blessings 🙏🤗
In my opinion this Layout of a Van is the best I ever saw! Thank you for this Video and sharing your ideas with us! Greadings from Germany
Appreciate that a ton! Thanks so much :)
A home has an emotional bond. It is very difficult to create aesthetics to create emotional bond to a van. This has what is needed for a long term home. Very well done 👏
I couldn't agree more. Thanks so much!
I've seen hundreds of van home videos and hands down this is the best of the best! - perfect bathroom too. Good job guys! 👏 ❤
Wow, thank you! Appreciate it so much :)
literally the best van I've ever seen
I am amazed by how cozy and airy you made the van. That is hard to do in such a small space. It truly looks like a home!
Appreciate the kind words! That was exactly our intention :) Thanks!
Wow. I have watched what feels like hundreds of van build videos and your van is now my favorite. I can’t believe how beautiful and cozy and functional it is! My mind is blown. You’ve thought of everything! 🤯
Thanks so much! That's so awesome to hear :)
Great job. I've watched 100s of van vids and your build is absolutely in the top 3.
That is so awesome to hear! Thank you!
It is very luxurious looking. You thought of everything & then some. Something to be very proud of for first time builders of anything. Wow!
Appreciate that a ton, thanks!
proof that artists are the best designers and engineers - wowed.
wonder if lowering seating ryokan or moroccan style would provide normal bed height without sacrificing storage/utility space
Thanks so much!!
Technically it would, but if you have any systems in the benches it becomes not feasable (our electrical system was in one bench). Also, the lower you make the benches, the less storage inside you have.
This is so beautiful... I'm really in awe
I didn't know which layout I liked the most; this is def IT!!!!!!! You guys did an amazing job!!!
Hahah thanks so much :)
I’m amazed -I have no criticisms - which never happens!
hahha happy to be a first!!!!
This is absolutely beautiful the best van I have ever seen, I could easily live in this😊
Thanks so much! :)
...best floorplan and overall small but luxurious while totally flexible living concept i've ever seen....good job!...great design...
Glad you like it! Really appreciate the kind words :)
Guys, I can't stop watching this video. My partner and I are starting to save for our future Van Life. And we are in love with this build! I've told him we need to try get it exactly the same 😅
Thank you so much for sharing. You have inspired me so much and I'm so excited for our future Van Life.
Please keep posting more vids. ❤
Oh, and we're based in South Africa. So hopefully we can get all the awesome stuff you guys have. Or at least something close to it 🎉
That's so awesome to hear! Thank for sharing! And good luck with your build, we're sure you guys will crush it 💪🏽❤️
THIS is the MOST wonderfull van I've NEVER seen !
Thank you SO much for sharing !
Wow, thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words :)
Ok, so now I don't want to build my van, I just want this one!!! Well done! It's perfect!
Hahah thank you, we're honored! And would be happy to build you one 😎
I just discovered your channel. I agree with so many of the other comments. This is the best Van build I have ever seen. I like the ample seating and workspace. The elevator bed is amazing - I especially like that you can keep the bed made up. In so many builds, either the bed is fixed and is the only place to sit or it is a convertible that requires you to play Tetris with the seat cushions every night plus find a place to store the comforter and sheets during the day.
Looking forward to hearing your experience of living in it in a few months!
In terms of production values, your videos are very well-crafted and narrated, and the hosts are very clear and professional. Looking forward to watching others. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much for your support and kind words! We really love how it came out too :) and so glad you liked it.
Not having to make the bed is an absolute game changer and we are never going back 😅
Really love how this Oasis build turned out. Congratulations
Thanks so much :)
Great build! This has many of the elements I want in my own van one day!
Thanks!
I like to think of myself as a perfectionist and love to go into detail but it’s hard to keep that mindset alone. When you have a partner to keep you going it can really make all the difference. The reassurance that person gives is so rewarding. You guys went above and beyond, it’s fuckin incredible👏🏼
I agree, it really made a huge difference. Thank you so much! :)
I guess the one percent rule is the same as saying that God is in the details. 🖌️✨💖 Such an inspiring job.
So true! Thanks so much, happy it was inspiring for you :)
Wow! This is by far the most beautiful van I have come across! So so epic. Bless you guys! 🤍✨
Wow, thank you so much!
Love your design. 😊 Wow!!! Great Fengshui layout. Keep this design for your next build as well for all your customers.
Thanks so much! 😊
after seeing so many van designs, I have to say this is 100% the best of the best ❤
Wow, thank you! Happy you like it! 😊🙏🏽🚐
What an amazing floorplan, well done guys!!!!!!!! You should get in business building these out for clients, I would buy one!
Thanks so much! Yes we are thinking about doing a few more this year 😁
Probably best one I’ve seen
Wow! I Just love it!!!! The best layout, the bed is super cool!!! Congrats!
Thanks so much!! Appreciate it :)
This is the best van ever
Appreciate it! :)
Смотрю различные автодома на протяжении нескольких лет. И, честно признаюсь, ваш дом самый лучший по дизайну, конфигурации и функциональности. Рада, что нашла ваше видео. Браво!👏👏👏
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽
The best van layout👏🏻
Appreciate that a ton :)
Sat down watching videos on this and literally the only one that I am about to save. This layout and design is beyond amazing and makes SENSE! Absolutely love!
Wow thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words 😊 🙏🏽
HELLO GREETINGS FROM BARCELONA SPAIN, I THINK IT IS THE BEST CONVERSION OF A VAN TO A MOTORHOME, PUT THE BED AT THAT HEIGHT IS FANTASTIC AS WELL AS THE WHOLE STYLE WITH THE MICRO CEMENT, YOU ARE GREAT, VERY GOOD JOB.
Thanks so much for your kind words! Appreciate it :)
My favorite layout... Bestest van ❤❤
This build has made me absolutely speechless. This is stunning and the most detailed and intentional build I have ever seen. It literally has everything. I am obsessed with this and want mine exactly like this 🥰🥰🥰
Wow, thank you! So glad you love it, we are also in love :) Thanks for your support!
it's absolutly outstanding and wounderful, thank you I think you have just shifted the way the campervan design has been thought through
Wow, thank you! Really appreciate it!
Thank you both for sharing this. I have just started looking into this and like everyone else you both probably have the best layout I've seen.
This is the most beautiful van that I have ever seen. It is literally my dream come to life. It is simply stunning! You are so talented, beautiful, and blessed! It’s my retirement dream.
Wow, thank you! Appreciate your kind words and support a lot :)
This is the best build ive ever seen and ive been watching for years. It's stunning.
Appreciate that a ton :) thanks!
Most beautiful van with the best layout....its the first one I think I could actually live in! And Even enough closet space! Love this and love the spa feel!

I have been watching these types of videos for years. This is my absolute favorite. Fantastic build!

The best layout and design I have ever seen.
Wow, that's awesome! Thanks!
Wow. This van build is truly phenomenal Im actually in awe. This is the best can build I have ever seen thus far. From the presentation to the layout, even the video and the vibe y’all share! This is such an inspiration for me and building my van.
cheers to you both for accomplishing such an amazing build together and working through things as a team!!!
Wow, thank you so much! Really appreciate you kind support after all the hard work we put into this one ❤️ wishing you the best of luck with your own build!
I love the design of the bed frame and beams built as part of it! The door design is 1 of a kind and beautiful!
Glad you like it! Thanks so much :)
Hands down the most tastefully designed van I have seen, particularly the color scheme, simplicity of line without sacrificing function. Well done. Well done.
Appreciate your kind words a ton. Thank you 🙏🏽
literally THE best build ever. i would rent this van out in a heartbeat.
Wow, thanks so much! Unfortunately, we don't rent. Sorry 😅
I’m no expert on van build outs, but I really appreciate your attention to detail everywhere. So beautiful - especially Nicole’s artwork. People rarely invest the time it took both of you to create all the details in combination with function that are in this van. Next to Nicole’s artwork, my favorite thing is the rattan inserts in the upper cabinets for light to show thru. Genius!
Wow, thank you! Appreciate this comment more than you can imagine, we really pride ourselves on the attention to details and it's something you can usually only feel when you're physically in the van. So thanks for noticing :)
@@nicoleandedden my husband and I built our log home together (by ourselves) about 30 years ago so I know what it takes and how it can make or break a relationship. Glad that, like us, it made yours better and stronger. Enjoy your youth together.
this is actually the best van i have ever seen‼️
Wow thank you!
I’m doing my van build this year. I’ve been watching 1000’s of van conversions. This is mind blowing! Absolutely unique use of the space!
I’m so impressed!
