When not residing in Hillsboro, Oregon in his Boeing 727, Bruce Campbell lives in Japan, where he hopes to soon buy land in order to create a second, larger aircraft abode, this time using a Boeing 747.

Campbell’s passion for upcycling pushes him to promote his modest lifestyle to others. He hopes that visitors and those who learn about his home will be inspired and that one day he will “spark a renaissance of thought about how to utilize this remarkable resource.”

Bruce Campbell plans to start work on his second airliner home in 2018. He plans to build his home on the coast of Kyushu Island. He hopes that his home will serve as a safe haven, not just for himself, but for the local community as well.

Campbell’s goal is for this second home to serve as a lifeboat in case of a tsunami, which poses regular threats to areas such as Kyushu. Due to their durable build and pressure sealed technology, they can last for hundreds of years and could save countless lives from even the harshest of conditions.
