Owning a container house is a way of recycling and reusing existing materials.

By reusing what others have used and making it a home,

we are contributing to sustainable development,

because recycling is very important for the world we live in.

If you think the container is too strong as a metal residence,

you can also turn it into a wooden house.

This is a container house in eagar, Arizona.

Its surface is fully covered with wood, and its sides are painted in a similar wood color.

From a distance, it looks like an out and out wooden house.

The owners of the house are Cheryl, Rachael and Tom tysseling.

 They all like outdoor activities: horse riding, water skiing, hiking and camping...

Which makes them pursue a simple and miniature shelter.

Enter the room through the door opened on the box,

and the long and narrow structure divides the space horizontally.

One end is used as a living room,

and the wooden fireplace is set under

the large screen TV to provide warmth in the cold winter.

 Facing a set of sofa chairs,

the recycled stool frame has been a little mottled,

but the bedding is as comfortable as the new sofa.

The setting of tea table is abandoned,

and the foldable single dining table can save more space.

The bedroom is located at the other end of the container house.

The small space is only enough to place a double bed.

Two long wall cabinets are set against the wall.

A European fan is hung on the ceiling opposite the bed.

The shutters in the room provide sufficient natural light for the space,

making the interior brighter.

A small space next to the bedroom is the bathroom,

which is exquisitely decorated and small.

The shower room that can be used independently is

set in the corner to separate the wet environment from the outside,

keep other floors dry and improve the use safety.
