Shipping Container Home
Curious about how you can make your dream home out of shipping containers? Here’s an example of the magic that can be made with a couple of recycled shipping containers.
It may look modest from the outside, but the inside is a modern, green dream home. See how this architect turned two reclaimed containers into a beautiful, eco-friendly small house:
Living Room Opens up to the Outside
The clever design makes use of the original shipping container doors to create an indoor/outdoor living room. A generous deck area expands the useable space. The finished product embraces the reclaimed origins of the shipping container, complete with serial numbers and logos.
Rustic Yet Modern
There is a modern look and feel combined with a rustic reclaimed vibe. Also, the exposed beams combine the two containers to create a contiguous flow and pull the two containers together to create one awesome home.
