While certainly not the best equipped off-road vehicle, the Volkswagen Bus still managed to be one of the original hubs of adventure vehicle culture. And for those of us who appreciate and pine after that lifestyle, it and all of its iterations will always hold a special place in our hearts. So, it’s pretty cool when we see one coming up for auction with a neat story, like this 1959 Deluxe 23-Window variety.

Hitting the block courtesy of Mecum, this classic van was actually found forgotten out in the woods of Oregon. Granted a second chance, it has benefitted from a complete restoration – including a rebuilt front beam and independent suspension, a new fabric sunroof assembly, four-corner drum brakes, and a factory-original red and white paintjob. Since the restoration, this Alpine-ready cruiser has driven just 200 miles. So if you’re an adventure-minded roamer who isn’t in a hurry to get anywhere in particular – so long as the journey is good – pony up the estimated $165,000-$180,000 and this beaut could be yours.

In our latest video feature, HYPEBEAST explores the creative mind of Hagy Belzberg -- Founding Principal Architect of Belzberg Architects, located in Santa Monica, California. The group’s award-winning project resume includes the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust; LACMA’s Art Café, Patina Restaurant and Lobby Café at Walt Disney Concert Hall, the luminescent Gores Group Headquarters in Beverly Hills and The Skyline Residence (Pharrell’s Los Angeles home), amongst other imaginative, shape warping structures. Hagy invites us to physically tour the chimerical, yet very real “Tree Top Residence,” before welcoming us to his office where we learn more about his tight-knit team; leadership style, and the open, stimulating work atmosphere he has created, purposefully bolstered by a view of Santa Monica Beach.

Virtually walk in Hagy’s shoes as an innovative thinker by viewing the video above, and scroll through the gallery below for additional outtakes from Belzberg Architect’s inspiring work. Finally, visit Belzberg Architect’s website if you would like to learn more about the firm’s forward pushing designs.
