Scenic Container Assembled Coffee Shop

This fully customized, artistic shipping container home was built with nine 20ft shipping containers that are cantilevered on the 2nd and 3rd levels.

Container homes are exactly what they sound like; homes made from the steel shipping containers that you see carrying goods everywhere on trains, trucks, and ships. From these giant Lego blocks, people are building homes of all shapes and sizes.

Shipping containers are generally available in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft. The smallest shipping container can provide about 100 square feet of floor space for a shipping container home. Eight larger containers together can make a two-story house at about 1400 square feet. Hundreds of container micro-apartments together can make a huge apartment building.

The designers were also able to strategically take advantage of views and sunlight with the containers. By starting with solid containers and removing specific sections to frame desired views of the land, they were able to approach everything differently from a structural and aesthetic standpoint.
