For another article featuring Hank's bus with more photos and details on the interior, click HERE. I love the module concept where seating changes to tables and beds change from twin to double, etc. This website is called Tiny House Swoon and it features tiny house plans submitted by people who have built them. It has examples of other bus conversion designs as well.
Of course, his design doesn't consider chemical sensitivity and due to the limited amount of time he had to complete the project, he constructed the whole interior with plywood (Whew! That ought to stink!), but it's a wonderful idea.
In August 2013 he tested it by driving it around the country, picking up and dropping off friends as he toured. Here is his blog describing his adventures: Hank Bought a Bus.
The mileage for the bus is 10.
The bus is beautiful inside - lots of light and useable space. I didn't see the bathroom. Seems like that would be a big part of bus living, and a big part of the greenness of the architecture. Maybe it's just a vehicle for camping in the woods?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...not sure about the bathroom. On the Tiny House Swoon site the second photo of the interior is a view of the sink. To the left is a closet or something - maybe that's the toilet? I don't see any photos of it anywhere. I think in one of the videos he did say he was originally going to build a tiny house or cabin on the property but the building codes wouldn't allow anything small (ridiculous).
DeleteYeah, I loved how he used all the windows.
