Shipping Container World

Shipping Container World We cover all of the latest innovations in container houses, from designs to home building.

Living in a container is about freedom, flexibility and living life on your own terms. It's about having the ability to pick up and go whenever and wherever you want. Living in a container is possible because of containers - strong, durable steel boxes that can be stacked on top of each other to create an instant home or office building. These buildings are versatile, portable, sustainable and affordable - they're everything people need for their ideal lifestyle!

They Built A Dream House Out Of JUNK Containers.

You might think you're looking at a pile of old junk, but this is actually the incredible start of a dream home built from 6 shipping containers (4x 40ft and 2x 20ft)!

From a rusty yard of steel to a gorgeous, modern house with a deck and a pool, the transformation is absolutely insane.

Imagine living here...

This Project Is EITHER Genius OR Insanely Risky.

You might have seen the finished underground bunkers, but this is the brutal reality of building one!

Trying to bury a standard shipping container without heavy reinforcement can lead to some serious buckling under the weight of the earth—just look at the sides of this poor container already caving in! It’s a ton of hard work just to get the box in the ground, let alone securing it.

This Is The Most Expensive Way To Stack Shipping Containers.

When you need a border solution, apparently the answer is stacking thousands of shipping containers high.

This photo shows the contentious use of cargo containers, repurposed and stacked on the USA Border, creating a massive barrier. It's a hugely expensive and controversial project that's sparked arguments across the country.

The Safest Place To Hide Your Stuff (Or Yourself).

When you need serious security or just a super cool hidden spot, burying a shipping container is apparently the answer!

This ingenious setup creates an underground bunker or storage space, reinforced with railroad ties and perfectly camouflaged. Whether it's for survival supplies, a secret hideout, or just extra storage, this is next-level thinking.

Bet Your Tiny Home Doesn't Have Windows Like This.

This is how you do 'cabin in the woods' right.

They took a boring metal box and sliced a huge panoramic window into it, turning a dark, industrial container into a cozy, modern retreat that perfectly frames the surrounding forest. Imagine waking up here with that view—no alarm clock needed.

Wife Said "Go Outside" So He Built THIS In The Yard.

The ultimate 'escape the house' setup! This incredible backyard build uses shipping containers to create the perfect man-cave: half high-spec gaming rig, half private home gym. What more could a guy ask for?

If you're looking for a private office, a place to grind on the weights, or just a place to finally get a high score without interruptions—this is the dream.

12 Containers. Endless Storage. Total Flex.

You're looking at a serious commitment to storage: a massive structure built from 4x 40ft and 8x 20ft shipping containers! 🤯

This multi-bay setup is fully ramped and ready for vehicles, equipment, or perhaps the beginnings of the most secure workshop ever. It's clean, bright, and an absolute unit of a build.

The Secret to Making a Metal Box Feel Like Home? It's ALL About the Siding.

This is where the magic happens! ✨ We took a plain, industrial red container (check the 'before' in the top image!) and are turning it into a warm, modern structure, board by board.

That raw wood siding isn't just for looks; it's adding crucial insulation and completely changing the aesthetic from cargo hold to cozy cabin. You can see the framing strips going up first, creating the perfect air gap and mounting surface for the final planks.

The biggest takeaway from this step: Details matter. The effort put into this cladding system is what separates a storage unit from a stunning home.

What color stain should we use on the wood? Natural, or a dark charcoal? Let us know below!

My jaw is on the floor. That DECK!

This is how you do it! They took one 40ft dark container and added an outdoor living room that's bigger than the house itself.

This is the ultimate indoor-outdoor setup. That dark, sleek container with the warm wood and all that furniture... I'm obsessed.

It's like a cabin floating in the trees!

This design is so smart and beautiful. That simple, elevated deck and concrete pier foundation make the whole house look like it's hovering in the forest.

It's the perfect blend of modern industrial (that dark container!) and cozy, rustic cabin vibes. Just perfect.

Forget a foundation... just put it on wheels!

Now this is a smart setup! Instead of just dragging the container, they've got it on a custom-built, off-road trailer.

This is a total game-changer for a workshop or a "pop-up" cabin. Need to move it to the other side of the property? No problem!
