According to international standards,

the inner bottom area of a 40-foot shipping container is about 28 square meters,

which means that if you use it to build a house,

the resulting living area will be less than 28 square meters,

which is a relatively compact nest. space.

How should the small space be arranged without losing comfort?

【Astroturf】Container House from Texas, USA will answer your questions.

This unique home begins with a 40-foot shipping container,

with construction company CargoHome insulating

and paneling the interior in a pine dock.

The exterior is clad with cedar siding,

with the panels spaced so that the original container remains visible.

Entering the interior, LED lights for interior lighting

make the environment more energy efficient.

The entrance of the house is facing the kitchen,

and the custom-made cabinets are placed along the wall.

The black cabinets and the white walls form a contrast,

and the sense of simplicity and fashion is blowing.

Several wooden boards fixed on the wall create

a simple storage space for small items and accessories.

The living room is set at one end of the container space

and is connected with the kitchen.

In fact, it is a sofa area along the window.

All windows are installed with venetian blinds or curtains,

which can maintain the privacy of the room. Some murals are

also hung on the wall to enrich the visual experience of the space.

The bathroom is located in a separate space next to the kitchen.

 Like the living room, it adopts an all-white wall.

A small window provides natural light and ventilation.

 A small basket hanging under the window is used to store some small daily necessities.

Bathrooms behind glass doors use full-sized custom tiles for good moisture resistance.

The entire house can accommodate up to 4 people,

and the large sofa in the living room first provides a comfortable double sleeping space.

In addition, there is a separate bedroom at the other end of the container,

with super comfortable tufts and mattresses,

two light-transmitting windows cut on both sides of the bed,

and a full-length mirror at the end of the bed.

After the renovation, the roof deck became the house's private patio,

a great place to enjoy morning coffee or stargazing at night if the interior feels too small.

The edge of the patio is surrounded by a custom cable railing system and lit with LED lights,

 allowing the deck to glow beautifully at night.
