Meet Hank Butitta,an architecture graduate student.
Hank Butitta was weary of two things: projects that he would throw
away upon completion, and paying for expensive housing.
Around this time, he conceived of his tiny bus
project and purchased a bus for $3,000.
“This project was a way to show how building a small structure with simple
detailing can be more valuable than drawing a complex project that
is theoretical and poorly understood.”
Renovations on the bus cost roughly $6,000.
“The bus was purchased for $3,000 on Craigslist and has had about
$6,000 of improvements. It’s not pocket change, but it’s less than a down
payment on a home.”
Here are the beds in action. Hank’s unique
design makes the most of the narrow space.
Hank’s creative mobile home is equipped with everything you need, including
two beds, a small kitchen and a bathroom…and the “hardwood” floor?
Actually, those are repurposed gym floors.
The ultimate bed…because what road trip
is complete without new friendships?
The sweet seat, or, as I like to call it,
the luxurious “roof deck.”
Here’s the driver’s seat. The bus is still fully
functional as a vehicle!
