An engineer in Portland, Oregon, US thought up a unique and innovative home idea—he bought a retired plane fuselage and transformed it into a home.
Bruce Campbell lives in his own Boeing 727
Driven by a mission to save retired plane fuselages from wasting away as scrap metal, Bruce Campbell bought the huge, retired Boeing 727 and had it propped up on concrete pillars in a secluded woodland area in Portland.
The former commercial airliner has a makeshift shower but Campbell is looking to improve its lavatory system as well as its seating and lighting arrangements.

Impressively, Campbell’s home has its own driveway, but he is keen to make further improvements. He lives there for half the year and spends the other half in Japan, where he is also thinking of buying another fuselage.

The Boeing, which set him back a hefty $220,000 (N69.8m), stands on a 10-acre plot he bought when he was much younger for $23,000 (N7.3m).

Campbell likens his home to some of the most innovative cars around: “If a conventional home is a legacy age family Chevy or Ford, an airliner home is a fresh new Tesla or Porsche Carrera.”
The airliner homes interior is unusual, but this doesn’t bother Campbell one bit. Plus, he appears to like the peace and quiet of seclusion.
