Michelle & Yamel
“I built my own tiny house, which is now an Airbnb near Giethoorn. With my passion for sustainability, I give old materials a second life. My bohemian architectural style combines dark wood tones, plants and the merging of outdoor and indoor space to create an authentic and natural experience.”
Geraldine
”I am an architect and interior designer of private residential housing. My projects range from big to very tiny, even caravans. The latter being an item on my bucket list and finally got to do in 2022. A project I fell in love withand made me signup for the Artist in Residence at Basecamp Sardinia.”
Cika
Cika Annemae loves creating murals in public spaces. Inspired by graffiti and street culture, she enjoys combining text with imagery. Her paintings often feature insects and (fantasy) animals, highlighting our human connection to nature. It is important for a mural to relate to its surroundings. In Sardinia, the local environment will also serve as an inspiration for her work.
Kate
”I’m Kate, an Australian born artisan with Italian heritage. I spent my childhood in my fathers workshop developing a love for handmade items. I love to use my skills to restore life to spaces and things once abandoned. My concept for the project is a light space which showcases beautiful reclaimed timber, vintage decor and custom artworks..”
Artist in residence
Create sleepable art
Basecamp’s Artist in Residence has kicked off in Pula, Sardinia! This project brings together design and construction artists to live and create art in an inspiring environment.
Basecamp’s #ARTRESIDENCY is designed to combine our values of INSPIRATION with LEAVE A TINY FOOTPRINT: we love to re-use existing resources, and create beautiful & useful art with it.
This is the case:
In Sardinia, beautifully located right next to the beach and mountains on the south coast, we’ve purchased an old campsite that we are currently renovating. The campsite has five old caravans. Throwing them away is not in Basecamp’s style, so we’ve found artists who are ready to rescue them and transform them into 5 pieces of sleepable art.
The project is now in full swing, and our caravans are being transformed step by step into unique spaces. Inspired by nature, the creative work of our renovation team, and wood artists, we are creating an environment where art and functionality come together. This transformation will not only give the campsite a new life, but it will also become an inspiring place for thousands of guests and passersby to experience.
Keep an eye on the adventures!
Stay up to date with every step the renovation team takes as they transform the old caravans into an inspiring place to stay.
New updates on the progress of the project are coming soon!
