Would You Live In A Refurbished Shipping Container?

with homes and land getting so expensive,


many are turning to this unique way of living with a number of companies spring up to satisfy the growing market, above a short video,

containers typically come in two sizes, either 20 feet by 8 feet or 40 feet by 8 feet, the smaller of the two equals about 160 square feet of living space, whereas the larger container gets you 320 square feet, some manufacturers will also combine containers to create bigger models, so here are a few if space in your neighbourhood is an issue, above, the Rustic Retreat XL, made by Houston-based Backcountry Containers and starting at $44,999, uses a 40-foot shipping container and can sleep up to five people, courtesy of Backcountry Containers,


the studio model from Kubed Living with a lofted bedroom. Courtesy of Kubed Living, name, Kubed Living, size: 160 square feet, cost: $55,000,



name, Custom Container Living, size: 312 square feet, cost: $47,900, these are just a few, more can be seen at Curbed, and no I am not on commision, I just thought it was a neat idea for people with limited space and funds.
