People’s lifestyles are so diverse! Look, I recently saw an old man who bought a scrapped double-decker bus made in 1953 at a very low price and changed it into a 23-square-meter duplex house!

The old man is named Whit . At the end of last year (2021), he bought the scrapped double-decker bus and pulled it into his backyard.

After five months of renovation, this originally abandoned double-decker bus has become a comfortable and comfortable 23㎡ duplex small house, with all functions such as living room, kitchen, dining room, bedroom, bathroom and other functions! Without further ado, let’s take a look~

basic situation of scrapped double-decker bus

Let’s briefly talk about the basic situation of this double-decker bus ~

▲White is introducing this little home

as I said at the beginning, this is a scrapped bus in 1953. Basically, except for the shelves, the parts have been damaged.

But it is precisely because of this that Whit bought it for only $8,000. It was about 55,000 yuan, and it can be said that the price is really low.

The general layout of the interior of the room

Let’s summarize the layout of the interior of the car.

▲After entering the interior space of the car

After entering the interior space from the original "distance door", I found that the layout of the home was clearly divided.

• passes through the entrance hall, and the open space on the first floor is left for the living room, kitchen and dining room. The middle area is made of a study + leisure area. Since glass windows are surrounded by them, the lighting is excellent.
• The bathroom and bathroom are at the end of the first floor. Although the area is not large and it is closed, it is a bright bathroom, and the lighting and ventilation are also very good. At the same time, because it is placed in the backyard, it is just connected directly from home to water and electricity. The second floor space of
• is completely left to the bedroom area. The open leisure area + an extra-large double bed makes this room with a scattered house of about 23 square meters more comfortable to live in. We will talk about it one by one later.

Entering the door of the door from the door to the entrance

The door of the rear of the car has now been changed to the main entrance to the entrance.

When Whit bought it, the paint surface outside the car had already been mottled. Now the red door leaf was re-painted with his wife, and it looked quite bright.

▲The spiral ladder leading to the second floor of the entrance hall

After entering the home, the spiral ladder leading to the second floor of the space is facing you. Let’s press the spiral ladder first, and then talk about it later; now, let’s talk about the entrance hall carefully.

porch is the original rear end of the car, and the interior walls have naturally been repainted and rebuilt, but the original windows and layout allocation are retained. The separation of blue and white colors makes the space in the home more layered. The pattern of the scroll above

was hand-painted by Whit and his wife. It really makes people admire his and his wife's hands-on ability; the clothes hook is installed at the corner and does not take up too much space, but there are many details in the small entrance.

The kitchen and the living room space are integrated

originally was this small home on a bus, and the space inside the house is naturally narrow and long. In order to save space, the kitchen and the living room are simply integrated.

▲The living room space created by Whit

uses floor and the cushion to match each other. Whit creates a booth-style sofa in the living room, with its back against the window, forming a comfortable entertainment area. After putting a few pillows, it is completely fine to have afternoon tea and take a nap here.

is the same thing. Because it is placed in your own backyard, the layout does not have to follow the traditional distribution model of sofa + coffee table + TV cabinet, which invisibly reduces the pressure of renovating this snail residence.

Whit's wife and two children also like to stay in this small living room, play board games and chat together, and the family of four is having a happy time.

single-shaped open kitchen

living room sofa, this open kitchen is naturally the same.

▲Open kitchen cabinets

White made the cabinets of this open kitchen into the same blue tone as the entrance wall, and the countertops were made white, echoing the wall's divider waistline, making the kitchenette style more unified.

countertops are embedded in the sink, and an induction cooker is used instead of the traditional stove, so that this small kitchen can also meet some basic cooking functions such as steaming, cooking, frying, and stir-frying. Whit said that it is actually quite easy to use.

Since there is no hanging cabinet, the storage is concentrated under the cabinet. Fortunately, this snail house doesn’t have to consider the storage issue too much. It only needs to be embedded in the refrigerator, oven, and then put a set of tableware for a family of four.

Oh, the top of the kitchen is also connected to the second floor. Although part of the living space is lost, the view above the head is wider and the comfort of living is improved.

Fully functional bathroom and bathroom

The last space on the first floor is the bathroom and bathroom at home.

Before going to the bathroom, you have to go through the middle study and leisure area. This area is actually composed of a simple single chair with a partition desk. It is quite interesting to Whit do an office here occasionally.

▲The layout of the small bathroom

The bathroom is not large, but it basically has functions, and the lighting of the "Mingwei" is also good - the toilet is placed against the window, and a countertop is made on the side to facilitate the placement of toilet paper, mobile phones and other objects. The window behind and on the right form an L-shaped pattern, bringing sufficient natural light to the space.

As for toilets, it is naturally the kind of compost-type toilets we often call. They basically use dry moss and sawdust to fill in dirt. After they are dry, they can be used as fertilizer~

is a small bathroom directly opposite the toilet. There is a ventilation fan installed on the top to drain moisture, and a lighting strip is also added around it. It is very comfortable to bathe in daily life.

▲Super mini wash basin

What made me shine is this super small wash basin, it is really too mini! It blends with the countertop and looks very integrated. The glass behind the sink leads to the cab, which also adds a bit of fun and transparency to the small bathroom.

The second floor of the scrapped bus was changed to a bedroom

Seeing this, do you feel like you are not in the bus, but in a small apartment?

▲From the spiral ladder in the entrance hall to the second floor

That’s right, from the spiral ladder in the entrance hall to the second floor, it has made a bedroom area like LOFT, and it looks much wider than many LOFT apartments that can’t even stand straight. Below the wall surrounded by

is the kitchen part we just mentioned.

on the first and second floors. Except for the super large double bed at the end, the rest of the space is left for this platform activity area. Whit said that his two children like to "work around" here. Seeing their happy appearance, he felt that it was really worth renovating this small house.

▲The super large double bed

The double bed at the end of the second floor is really large in size, basically occupying the horizontal space. It is no problem to sleep with a family of four. This is also a spacious bedroom space that can only be obtained without considering the wardrobe storage area.

The wooden partition at the head of the bed replaces the function of the bedside table. It is suitable to put the books you read before going to bed or charge your phone. These small details of the home are done very well. The windows on the second floor of

are basically kept as they are still the same, but they are re-used with glass glue and waterproof. I dare say that the lighting of this small house is one of the best among the apartments of the same area of ​​23㎡.

Some living equipment outside the car

Let us turn our attention to the outside of the car and see the living facilities outside this small house.Whit also deliberately kept some of the worn and scrapped places outside the

, as if telling the sense of the era of this double-decker bus.

From the surroundings, you can see that the house is full of windows. No wonder the lighting at home is so good, it is always bright.

▲Snail residence access cable

hm4The water and electricity of the Snail residence are all taken directly from home. During the renovation, the arrangement of water and electricity pipelines is also a major problem faced by Whit. It can be said that a lot of the five months of renovation was spent on water and electricity renovation.

Of course, the final effect is still worthy of gratification. In short, it is very convenient to use water and electricity in a snail house.

Summary at the end of the article

Seeing this, we can also be regarded as a "cloud visit" this duplex house transformed from an abandoned double-decker bus. What do you think?

Personally I think that if there is a place to place such a bus and allow it, it is a great pleasure in life. To be honest, I am a little moved!

In short, the duplex small house transformed by Whit is really unique. I believe his two children will have a happy and pleasant childhood here, right? I'm envious~

Do you like such a special duplex residence? ~
