A single father turns an old bus into a cozy home for him and his daughter

In the contemporary landscape of dwelling choices, the definition of home has transcended the conventional two-story brick structures. Diverse abodes now range from shacks to trailers, and one innovative individual, Adam Collier, a 42-year-old carpenter and single father from Brighton, England, has embarked on a unique housing journey. His vision? Transforming an old double-decker bus into a charming mobile home for himself and his teenage daughter.

When Adam acquired the decommissioned bus, it had only recently concluded its service and maintained a commendable condition. Nevertheless, repurposing a vehicle designed for transporting people into a cozy dwelling presented a distinct set of challenges. Armed with his carpentry expertise, Adam set a budget of £10,000 (just under $13,000) to procure and entirely renovate the bus.
