The Pacific Bin
Built from five shipping containers, Pacific Bin is located in the woods of the Cascade Mountains (USA). The house was designed by mother and daughter team Tammi Loerop and Devon Loerop. Their goal was to create a place for tenants to escape from busy lives, connect with friends and family in a peaceful setting. To bring nature closer, tall and wide windows were installed in each room. Photo: Devon Loerop
Container Studio
This studio in the woods on Long Island (USA) has a sunny space, and is 84 square meters wide. The project is aimed at artists who come to relax and look for a compact creative space.
The design unit MB Architecture used 2 containers worth 2,500 USD each placed in a 2.7m high basement. As a result, they have a cool studio at a cost significantly cheaper than a traditional house. Photo: MB Architecture

Container Home
On a lakeside outside Stockholm, Swedish architect Måns Tham built a luxurious, industrial, off-grid home using eight shipping containers. He removed the walls between the containers to maximize space. With the upper floor larger than the ground floor, the structure responds to the natural V-shaped canyon in which it sits.
