Welcome to Litsy!

Reborn as cozy homes, these retired school buses are ready to hit the road. For homeowners seeking a simpler life and apartment dwellers dreaming of their own space, tiny houses represent an inspiring, attainable ideal. For those fueled by wanderlust, converted buses�they call them �skoolies��take the tiny house adventure one step further. And unlike the bohemian house buses of 1960s counterculture, many of today�s conversions adhere to a contemporary aesthetic of sleek minimalism. In The Modern House Bus, journalist Kimberley Mok shares ten buses that are sure to inspire. These are families following a new American dream that values financial freedom over square footage, adventure over manicured lawns. Designed to fit the owner�s lifestyle and needs, these conversions are filled with inventive architectural details, creative materials, and unique style. With photographs of the buses and their breathtaking surroundings, floor plan diagrams, and space-saving hacks, this is a book for aspiring bus- owners and armchair adventurers alike.
