Danny loves to read books, bake, sew, and practice yoga. This is his incredible solar-powered bus conversion, which he designed with space for all of his hobbies!

There’s open shelving everywhere for him to tuck his book collection, an oven and counter space for bread-baking, a table with space for his sewing machine and craft supplies, and last but definitely not least, a rooftop yoga porch!

After living in New York City for 33 years, Danny (@buswithnoname on Instagram) desired a slower pace of life and more time outdoors, so he made the leap and created a HOME on wheels.

Danny, a book lover who has been living in his bus for over 6 months designed his space beautifully. He was very thoughtful with what he knew he needed and wanted while living in a spall space. The amount of storage is incredibly impressive. He also has a kitchen with so much counter space, an oven to bake bread, a deep sink, plenty of shelving and a dining room table.

  1. Excellent! What else can I say? I love it when a tiny home reflects the interest of the owner! That’s the whole idea !

  2. Seriously well designed! Loved the sliding passthrough that closes to allow warm air to heat the bathroom.
    Love the way Danny thinks ahead & is still making plans to create a possible age in place with his son on a future piece of land.

  3. He thought this out and built it very nicely. Storage is amazing and the drawers. I even like the bathroom. Wood stove looks inviting and the kitchen is perfect. Beautiful creation.

  4. Living in NYC truly does prepare you for tiny living. This is bigger than any apartment I’ve lived in! Beautiful!
