Have you ever dreamed of owning a school bus and traveling the country? Well no, me either, but if I were to, this is how I would do it! Check out this bus cabin. An old school bus that has been redone into a cabin.
A week before Hank Butitta’s final semester as a graduate architecture student at the University of Minnesota, he had no idea what his thesis project would be. One thing he did know was that he was sick of creating class projects that lived only on paper. He desperately wanted something hands-on. That’s when he bought a school bus.
Butitta’s grandfather owns 80 acres of land just north of Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. Butitta and his friends had camped there over the years, and he’d always wanted to design a permanent cabin for the property. But building codes dictated that the minimum space he could build was 600 square feet, much larger than he could afford or even needed. It would also have required building permits and hookups for septic and electrical. “We wanted a simple, off-the-grid microcabin,” Butitta says.
The solution: a bus he could redesign on campus and then drive onto his grandfather’s property and leave there. So he bought the bus for $3,000 and spent 15 weeks, and $6,000, gutting and remodeling it into a cabin on wheels. After graduation (yes, he passed) he tested his design by driving the bus 5,000 miles round trip from Minneapolis to Portland, picking up friends along the way and traversing various terrains, which he and a friend documented in a blog.
