Engineer Bruce Campbell staged new strategic model by converting an abandoned Boeing 727 Plane, which he bought in 1999, into his dream house.

Campbell is a member of the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA), a group of people who invest their artistic skills to metamorphose retired planes into homes and creative hubs, basically getting something worth out of it.

The plane-home comes with a custom-built shower, two restrooms, wings serving as the deck and the cockpit turned into a cosy reading room. On the other hand, he has crafted a makeshift shower, and has made the toilet usable.

Two decades of hard work and extra ordinary sense of creativity was all it took for Engineer Campbell to transform the abandoned plane into his new home.

“I don’t mean to offend, but wood is in my view a terrible building material,” Campbell wrote on his website.

“But retired airliners can withstand 575 mph winds … are highly fire-resistant, and provide superior security. They’re among the finest structures that mankind has ever built.”

Located in the Woods of Japan, Bruce Campbell bought the Boeing Plane at $100,000, which is equivalent to Ksh14.8 million. He turned the inside of the plane into a comfortable living space, although he says it is still a work in progress. He has a similar plane home in Oregon.

Bruce lives in the plane for a period of six months a year. He is also planning to purchase old fuselage to build another aircraft home.
