3D Food Truck Floorplan
Concept
The idea of creating this camper van is from my friend named Tito Marco. Originally what he saw in my post was a food truck serving Filipino food. Although food trucks and camper vans share the same alternative lifestyle or business, they have different mechanisms. Food trucks are more practical and business related while camper vans have become fancier over the years and serve more of personal leisure and grandeur lifestyle of travelers.
In terms of exterior, food trucks are boxy while camper vans are sleek. I used the Mercedes Sprinter 2026 model as reference although I wasn’t able to fully grasp the rounded hood. Mercedes Sprinter 2026 is very expensive but can also be used as a food truck.
For the interior, food trucks have counters and kitchens while camper vans have bedrooms, workstation, counters and lots of storage.
In my camper van, items are listed:
Van - Body, flooring, wheels
Kitchen - Cabinet + fridge, frying pan & coffeemaker
Work Station - Laptop & monitor
Bedroom - Storages, foam & pillows
Outdoor - Pine trees, chair, grill & bulalo
Theme
For the theme, it was inspired by Tagaytay City, a place located in the highland area of Cavite, Philippines. Tagaytay is famous for its cold weather that's why Pine trees naturally grow. Tagaytay is also famous for Bulalo, a special beef stew with lots of bone marrow, cabbages, corn and potatoes. Kapeng barako or a coffee is also a famous hot beverage in Tagaytay.
The color scheme of dark blue and green is based on the view of the Taal Volcano surrounded lake. Although Taal Volcano is located in Batangas, it has become the icon of Tagaytay because of its view.
Time after time my 3D often goes back to Tagaytay and Bulalo, probably because they played a big part in my teenage years. Every time I go to and back from school, I always see the Taal Volcano. And even if I stayed for 25 years in Metro Manila, Tagaytay and Taal Volcano always stayed in my subconscious.
