This couple built an off-grid home with 2 shipping containers

“I think the beauty of living in a shipping container is the fact you can move them.” Just 2 40′ “high cube” shipping containers for this home.

We often think of our dream homes as a big Tudor house on the hill, or at least a mini mansion by the sea, however, some couples think in much more creative terms. They chose to remodel two shipping containers into their dream home and one of the most beautiful things about this home is that it is mobile and this means that they can move their dream if they choose.

Shipping containers are highly versatile, because they are basically empty boxes where you can use your imagination to transform them into the home you want and the home you need. You can either leave them in a loft style open plan or create walls wherever you please. Another great thing about this particular home is that it is off the grid. Not everyone is made for living off the grid, not having certain amenities supplied for you, but for those who are made for it, it is freedom.
