This project, dubbed the Motohome, looks to bring architecture to two wheels
A design sketch for the Motohome
This bold idea for a bike is the brainchild of Jeremy Carman, a senior student at the University of Southern California School of Architecture who came up with this concept for his thesis. He sought to combine two passions of his in motorcycling and architecture, and he now looks to put this amalgamation to the test on the open road.

A full on home
The Motohome is planned to have a fully heated shelter area, a small kitchen and eating space all on the back of a motorcycle. The design philosophy also says it's aiming to be both affordable and sustainable, which is always good news.

Built for Adventure
The original plan for the Motohome was for its designer and creator, Jeremy Carman, to ride it from South California all the way down to the southernmost tip of South America. To make this trip possible Carman made some modifications to the bike in order to make it less of a street bike and more of an adventure bike. While it isn't quite perfect Carman is always working on improvements and testing it further to get it ready for the journey down South.

For those interested, there is a gofundme page for this project as well as some footage of it in action for those of you who want to help make this thing a reality. They've raised about $2700 of the $5000 goal, let's help Carman fill that out.
