Double Decker Living
Ever looked at a double decker bus in London and thought, “Hmm, I wish I could live there?” Well, if you have, now you can thanks to Double Decker Living!
Environmental issues have been at the forefront of our minds during the conception and conversion of these buses. They
are fitted with a solar panel to help lighten the ever growing energy ‘burden’ that we face. Generators and heaters that
the buses are equipped with are of the ‘run quiet’ variety to reduce noise pollution to a negligible level. The WC waste is
rapidly converted to compost and collected on a regular basis, as is the water. Each bus comes with two fold away bicycles
which the occupants will be encouraged to use. Dedicated refuse bins and recycling are also provided and emptied as appropriate.High Accommodation Standards
Every bus has a communal ‘family’ type area where occupants interact and socialise. Audio and visual facilities
are provided so that quality time together is of whatever nature the residents choose.The provision of ‘private space’ is also crucial and to this end each bedroom is a comfortable, ventilated and heated
space with its own window to provide light levels far beyond that which most of us experience within a more conventional dwelling.Safety and Security
The safety of the occupants of the bus is also very important so great care was taken during the design of the bus
conversion to ensure very levels of fire protection including the fitment of interlinked smoke alarms, provision of
extinguishers, and treatment of all soft furnishings. We initiated discussions with the London Fire Service to ensure due diligence and care.Each occupant has access within their room to a lockable storage area. The buses are fully serviceable from the exterior
which means that only occupants of the buses ever need to enter their residence unless
planned maintenance or repairs are required and agreed.Each bus is fitted with a Thatcham approved immobiliser/alarm system to maximize security.
