The Texino Atrium camper van prototype is like a glass atrium on wheels. Check out progress on the futuristic conversion van.
it calls the Atrium. When it fully comes to life and hits the streets of downtown Los Angeles en route to the coast or mountains for a weekend of boondocking, it'll undoubtedly draw eyeballs and conversation among its urbanite neighbors. Furthermore, it'll be a talking point among its those other run-of-the-mill RV, camper van, toy hauler, and travel trailer campsite companions.
The new Atrium model, on the other hand, more resembles a space vessel, a moon machine made of unobtanium. The Atrium prototype is built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter foundation, retaining the Sprinter's nose and cockpit. It ditches its traditional Sprinter body in favor of an Airstream-like capsule that extends over the roof of the cab.The whole design is eye-catching, of course, but its geometric, atrium-like rear, from which the model receives its name, is arguably the focal point.
There's a fully equipped kitchenette, full bathroom, and a storage loft. The banquet table converts into a king bed. All the glass windows—including the atrium, six side portholes, and skylights—are Smartglass, which affords on-demand privacy with the flick of a switch. For off-road adventures, it'll have an on-board air compressor, two spare tires attached to the rear, integrated extra fuel storage, recovery boards, and storage for dirty stuff.
Texino says that its Atrium prototype is nearing completion, and pricing will be announced closer to launch. In the meantime, check out the build pictures, renderings, and sketches. Let's hope those rear spare tires protect that fragile atrium during real-world journeys.
