The brilliant thing about shipping container residences is their versatility: you can use one as a guest house, an Airbnb, your home, a granny flat for a relative, or even as a study or studio space.
As we mentioned earlier, Alternative Living Spaces has taking shipping container builds to a truly luxurious level by leveraging premium materials and maximizing every square foot of space. The home below, currently serving as a full-time residence, shows just how much space and natural light can be created with a bit of creativity.
Eye-catching artwork creatively hides a Murphy bed from guests and exposed wooden beams ensure the space has a homey feel.
The house is only 165 square feet, but doesn’t scrimp on counter space in the kitchen.
The standard layouts for these units provide owners with a bathroom + shower, a kitchen, some sort of work and dining space, and a living room that converts into a sleeping area.
The kitchen comes fully loaded with micro-size appliances and includes a fridge, an induction stovetop, a microwave, and plenty of storage space. The space also uses a bright teal blue on the cabinets add a pop of color and really brighten up the space and the bathroom uses corrugated iron for an interesting industrial look.
