recycled container housing
These days, life can mean a lot more that just having shelter, food and clothing. People have evolved a great deal over the past 50 years and the trend of exponential change is continuing. The differences between generations will be more significant than they are now. Random bursts of non-conformism mean that some people no longer feel represented by the masses, and feel they can’t be associated with large institutions.
This non-conformism has a residential component: People live in increasingly diverse houses that best suit their needs. Some people buy large houses made of concrete, steel and glass to reinforce their social positions and others choose something different. Either way, it’s something that suits their needs. One crazy idea is to live in a storage container home. Yes, you heard me. Old cargo containers now serve as a part of a home or even the entire home for some people.
While shipping container homes are certainly an option, no one should rush into a decision. Let’s take a look at some wonderful structures that might help you decide if living in a shipping container home is right for you.
Shipping Container Guest House.
Container Guest House
One of the most interesting projects I’ve seen so far is this wonderful guest house made out from a recycled shipping container. Because of the container’s shape and nature, there isn’t a a wide range of possibilities for decorating. People always take this as a challenge and in this case,the result turned out great. The container was painted blue and two sections were cut out and replaced with windows and big sliding doors.
