'school bus turned minimal mobile home'

Article by Urbanist.



You could make a strong case for this vehicle being barely recognizable as such. The dimensions, fenestration and over spatial configuration give good clues that this space may have once been a school bus, but the finishes, furnishings and built-ins go above and beyond bare-bones adaptive reuse.




Architecture student Hank Butitta was sick of drafting imaginary buildings in studio courses destined never to be built, and sought (with help from his younger brother Vince) to steer his education in a more hands-on direction: http://www.hankboughtabus.com

Kjosk

Markgrafendamm 24c, 10245 Berlin

A mobile convenience store armed with farm-fresh produce and plenty of smiles, Kjosk operates out of a 50-year-old double-decker bus that used to run in Berlin between 1965 and 1978, offering a much-needed dose of urban relaxation. Permanently parked in an overgrown garden in the heart of the city, owned by Rosmarie Köckenberger, it offers a selection of food from local producers, a selection of drinks and a chill space to indulge in your video game mania, plus a chance to stock up on candy, cigarettes and other convenience store goodies in an area where kiosks are rarer than diamonds!
