If you could spend $2,000 and build the home of your dreams, would you?? Of course you would! However, what if there was one small stipulation – your house would be made from shipping containers and you would be living completely off the grid.

Not completely sold? Neither was I at first. Living in a shipping container just sounds so…strange. But then I looked into the big idea a little further and actually, this type of living is not only gaining immense popularity, but the homes that are being created are some of the most uniquely AWESOME houses I’ve ever seen!

Check it out:

Pretty cool, right? And from the inside…even cooler!

Did I mention that yes, that is a garden, on TOP of the house!

With floor to ceilings like this, why would you want to live anywhere else?

And just look at all that space!

I’m not really sure what’s going on here…

Oh but of course. Just push a button and the walls of your shipping container fold down. OBVIOUSLY.

One perk of living in a shipping container…you can literally “ship” yourself to paradise.

The interior view ain’t terrible either.

Forget the house, I wouldn’t leave the bathtub!

And when the creative juices start flowing and you begin to have so many ideas for your shipping container house you just don’t know what to do with…

Simply build another shipping container house…INSIDE your shipping container house.

And then some.

Because when Starbuck’s starts doing something…you know it’s cool.

The proof is in the pictures: shipping containers aren’t just for transporting goods anymore. With a little imagination, a spark of creativity, and a will to make it work…these fine pieces of storage can transform into some of the coolest homes you’ve ever seen!
