A home is not always a huge mansion with 3 pools and Jacuzzi, sometimes a neat and cleat house with a beautiful view might be the perfect place to live and feel free.

The 800 square feet of living space is formed by three shipping containers. Floor-to-ceiling huge windows make the open-air space feel even larger. Another thoughtful element is a retractable garage standard door next to the kitchen where you can find a barbecue grill ready for some action. The roof and windows design incorporate flame-retardant level materials in the event of nearest wildfires.

The designer and owner, found that what appears to be standard indestructible shipping containers, lose much of their constructional rigidity when the shipping container sides are modified or changed, such as cutting openings in the metal for doors and windows. Other challenge was getting the necessary construction approvals because of the first shipping container home in the county and the county building department had never seen this type of project and only after almost half a year the plans were approved.

When the shipping container home was complete, the owners had not just an environmentally friendly and beautiful house that is very cozy and comfortable, but also cheap to build and affordable housing.
