The 727 House - the Most Creative Conversion?
Pay attention airlines, here is a way to recap some of those losses! Imagine having a Boeing 727 as a home.
The fully outfitted, meticulously detailed, two bedroom, Boeing 727 fuselage
home. Made from a refurbished vintage 1965 Boeing 727 airframe, which in its
prior life shuttled globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines
(Colombia).
The airframe was salvaged, piece by piece, from its San Jose airport resting place. They carefully transported the pieces on five, big-rig trucks to its final perch on a 50-foot pedestal. At this height, you can enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane's former right wing.
The plane's interior is teak paneling from the cockpit to the tail. Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia. The 727 home features two air conditioned master suites with private baths, flat screen TVs, an ocean view terrace, a private entrance up a river rock spiral staircase, and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.
The refurbished Boeing 727 home is not the only such dwelling in the world: It was inspired by a Forbes Magazine article about a company offering hurricane-proof living via surplus Boeing 727 airframes!
