3 Interior Designers Convert The Same School Bus | Space Savers | Architectural Digest

Published 2024-03-07
We gave interior designers Joy Moyler, Darren Jett, and Noz Nozawa a photo of the same abandoned school bus—then asked each of them to transform the space, however they pleased with no restrictions. Three artists, one canvas, each bringing something different to the space. Which bus conversion has you considering the van life?

    I'm obsessed with how much soup Darren's pop star diva needs
  • @seriliaykilel
    What weird parallel universe are we where Noz has the practical design? You could tell she had the most actual experience on this
  • @BeantownMrs
    This is the first time I've actually liked Noz's design. I think her experience in having done this before really shows.
  • Noz wins this one by far!! Her design is practical, the only one that actually accommodate a living on the road lifestyle.
  • @tripletoruses
    Noz definitely has been planning to renovate her own school bus
  • @mkeerkens
    Love all three, but Darren's was super lush. Joy's space also felt very elevated. Noz's is rustic and fun. For once I liked all three! Would love to see this series continue with: * Treehouse * Yurt * Poolhouse * Barge/houseboat * Log cabin in the woods
  • @CH_A-ic3bk
    Darren's design is really creative, but it doesn't make you want to stay for more than 10 minutes
  • @fa6534
    Well done Noz. Thats stunning and practical. Darren is more like a set for a music video while Joy’s is likely a stationed Airbnb on someone’s backyard. But for practicality and everyday living and full on travel lifestyle, Noz’s
  • @vivalaleta
    I gravitate to Noz's bus design the most. It's charming and interesting but practical for bus life. Joy's design is calming (but reminiscent of a high end waiting room).
  • @lmarshall7000
    Darren's design is definitely for a certain niche; I would have a nervous breakdown in there. I like how whimsical and colorful Noz's design was. Joy's design, as always, has that homey feel to it.
  • @Ella.L.
    Noz understood the assignment. Very comfy, but also smart design.
  • @jenovapooh
    Noz's design is so much more functional and safe for a mobile space than the others. I like the other two, but they would move around so much in transit.
  • @Kburzon
    I need a series where someone analyzes these designs and provides a final quote/estimate for the entire project.
  • @mainem.4513
    I don’t usually gravitate towards Noz’s designs, but this is just so ethereal! I’m immediately transported into a storybook. Love Darren’s, but the dark fur throw throws me off. Joy’s is minimal, elegant, and cozy, but totally lacks storage.
  • @emndiaye9019
    I just love Noz's personality and the way that she thinks, I always look forward to seeing what she'll do!
  • @tatiiii3855
    Darren is actually just a genius... like how do you even think of that?! So unique and creative
  • @KatieBurd47
    I love Darren's plans to store 40 cans of tomato soup
  • @aidasteele594
    As design goes, I love Darren’s. Just the curves, the relaxing color and how everything flows.
  • How is Darren's design "90s inflatable furniture meets padded room meets swimming pool." It's like a really squeaky mental breakdown. Noz's design is practical and charming!
