Stylish Container Homes ~ USA & Canada



I have always been fascinated with container homes. I really think it is amazing how you can transform a cargo container into a stylish beautiful home! Can you believe that a typical shipping container size is 20ft and 40ft? That is a really small home, but designers and architects have been creating stylish homes from shipping containers with stunning results. 

This is the typical floor plan of a container home


 Check out below videos on the how container homes are built and styled. These are some of my favourite videos. Enjoy!

"This 592-square-foot “plug and play getaway” wasn’t designed to blend into nature, but to float above it; fifty thousand pounds of glass and steel serve as a frame for the surrounding landscape.The small prefab can house 4 people: 2 on a daybed and 2 in a loft bedroom." 



"Like the title says, this tiny house has it all. Huge kitchen, full-sized jacuzzi tub, sliding overhead glass door, king bed, stow away dining."



"Literally building a home from scratch for under $50,000 – using a shipping container!"




"Newlywed architect and stylist converted a 366-square-foot grain silo into their first home, leading them to pare down and simplify their urban Phoenix lifestyle. Their home even incorporates a great outdoor shower!"
