3 x 20ft Shipping Containers Turn Into Amazing Compact Home

5 років тому

I’m always amazed at how people can turn shipping containers, hard, cold metal boxes, into some of the most beautiful, warm and welcoming homes. That’s exactly what this young couple from Victoria have done, transforming 3 20ft shipping containers into a wonderful, functional house.
Support our show: / livingbig
Everywhere you look, Richard and Amy have packed their container home with great small space design ideas, ensuring that within the small footprint of the shipping containers, there is a tremendous amount of home and living space. Just as much thought has been put into the build of the home, with some great choices in materials and construction techniques making this a high performing and well insulating container home.

This home utilises a grid tied solar system, taking advantage of the extreme Australian sun. It also collects all it’s own water. With another family member on the way, this is sure to be a wonderful home for this young family. I hope you enjoy this video tour!

I live on a 37 foot 80s boat. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the small space is really all you need. My husband is a marine mechanic so it runs great and we take it out a lot but if that’s not your forte, a house boat would be just as cool. It wasn’t too expensive, slip rent is minimal and we have an absolutely STUNNING view from every window (hatch and porthole!) of the Chesapeake Bay. Tiny living is truly the way to go in order to live LARGE for less.

This is one of the best shipping container homes I've seen. And with respect to all tiny home living -- I find it notable that so many of the BEST jobs start with "...we're on our family's land." If you're lucky enough to already have or be given space on the real estate, all the funding and effort is put into the home itself and it makes so much difference.

With containers this big, I can totally see myself living in a similar home with a friend! The middle container could be the common place with the kitchen and the bathroom and we could choose a container each as our bedroom / lounge area. With the laundry tucked away in the bathroom, maybe we could keep both the storage spaces in the hallways as our wardrobes! Definitely would make us happy to live together but would also provide with our own personal space! totally in love with this home :)

I really like the staggered shipping containers and the oversized roof for solar panels.

@richardbianco3193 4 роки тому

It definitely helps with a big problem w these, curb appeal. It takes creative mind to give them curb appeal & that worked really well- have made mental note. Idea for others, haven't tried this yet but pretty sure I can rig up bracket with moulding to essentially use solar panels as the roof - I'd have made the entire top solar panels, they have some stiffness to them and a light bracing system with rubber moulding that goes up inbetween two panels & rests on top of the entire seem, like pushing a point between a narrow gap, once it breaks through the point expands locking it down holding one span of panels together. Not safe enough (probably) for real roof but I'd do something like this guy but those three roof would be panels all hooked and almost looking like one frame of panels bolted together. You could add slanted roof, or do what he did and experiment with placement for effect.

@SuperLisandro86 4 роки тому

Also shipping containers gets really hot, even with proper isolation if the sun hits directly. So the floating roof is good for keeping it warmer, and also reduce the sound that strong rain or hailing can make. The negative point is that is going to shake a lot with strong winds.

Is it better to live in a small home and be debt free. Or huge home and have stress for the next 30 years of mortgage.

@xXScopeCreepXx 5 років тому

If you're not having kids, a smaller home like this can be great. The aspect of this home that I find so much better than most tiny houses is that it's modular. If they were forced to expand they could add more storage containers and renovate them in with little difficulty. Because rooms are segregated from one another, even a home this small offers an opportunity for some privacy, Nice design inside, as well.

I think the biggest issue is that families with kids need more space. This is nice for a young couple, but might get cramped later. Also, a small home still needs LAND to put it on. It sounds like the couple here got it free from mom. Most people don't have free land, and just buying land and building a small home on it is just as expensive as buying a regular house. BTW, I love small homes and I think most people would be fine in a smaller house, but I do understand why most people won't find a set up like this to be realistic.

I've raised 4 babies and I can safely say that these people have no clue what a toddler can actually get in to. I'd never have a freestanding fireplace in a room that small with a baby toddling around. There's also no tub so idk where they plan on bathing the child because that sink is to small.

I think that would work until they have a second child or the one gets older as adults will want their bedroom NOT wave to be walked through to get to the living room by other members of the household. Perhaps if the next container they add becomes their bedroom with a second bath & their current room becomes the kids area that would work for a longer time.
