    A simple, removable modular kit featuring a bed with underneath storage and pull-out drawers that can be used as a table. Ideal for flexibility and short-term use without permanently altering the vehicle.

    A permanent setup with a fixed bed, integrated storage, and optional extras like seating or basic lighting. Designed for convenience and frequent use (weekenders).

    custom upgrades

    Started your own van build but need a hand finishing the interior? I help complete partially built campervans with custom carpentry — from fitting beds and storage to refining layouts and surfaces.

Get to
know me

Hi! I’m Alexandre Savoie — a Canadian carpenter based in beautiful Portugal.
I help people turn their vans into custom campervans they love — whether it's for weekend surf trips, full-time vanlife, or just escaping the city.

With a background in carpentry and a passion for travel, I focus on creating functional, beautiful campervan conversions tailored to each client. From simple setups to full builds with kitchens and bathrooms, every project is designed with care, craftsmanship, and your lifestyle in mind.

I work mainly along the coast between Ericeira and Peniche, but I also take on projects from all over Portugal. If you’ve got a van — or a van dream — I’d love to help you bring it to life.

Based in Torres Vedras — Working With Clients Across Portugal

Our campervan atelier is located in Torres Vedras, just north of Lisbon. We work primarily with clients along the coast — from Lisbon to Peniche, including Ericeira and Sintra — but we’re happy to take on projects from anywhere in Portugal.

If you're excited about your van conversion, we’d love to hear from you — no matter where you’re based

 FAQs

  • Simply reach out to us via our contact form, email, or Instagram. Let us know what kind of project you're thinking about — whether it's a full van build, a modular kit, or a renovation.

    From there, we’ll set up a chat (in person or online) to understand your needs, budget, and timeline. We'll guide you step-by-step and provide a custom proposal — no pressure, no commitment.

  • It depends on the type of project. A modular kit install might take just a few days, while a full custom build with kitchen, bathroom, and insulation can take several weeks. We’ll always give you a realistic timeline before we begin.

  • We recommend using apps like Park4Night, Campercontact, or iOverlander to find safe and legal overnight spots.

    You can also check out vanlife travel guides like Portugalist or Indie Campers’ blog for inspiration, road trip routes, and updated camping laws in Portugal.

  • To legally register your campervan (autocaravana) in Portugal, you'll need to follow the homologation process outlined by the Instituto da Mobilidade e dos Transportes (IMT).
