10 Beautiful shipping container Home design ideas

The outside view of this container house showcases what gives it uniqueness. Storing the storage containers indoors is not only a fun play on words, but a great way to highlight statement colors and shapes. In areas that have lots of rain, it might be necessary to have a slightly slanted roof. This home keeps the roof shape and the large front windows, creating an eye-catching contrast of shape. The designer also played with the presence of metal, having the outer shell be more shed-like, matching the interior metal of the storage container. Stone and wood help this container house blend in and be nearly unrecognizable. The container itself is nearly all windows. Having thick, vibrant curtains to act as a wall barrier is ingenious and gives a unique flair to the rest of the house. Storage container homes have the naturally flat roof, making them perfect candidates for rooftop patios. This home acted on that and has an open patio design with high handrails made of wood matching the patio below. In warm tropical weather, keeping things open to the light and warmth is an excellent way to utilize what nature already provides. Living in container houses can involve many different types of experiences. Those living in this home must enjoy sunny days and the fresh outdoors. Large glass garage doors raise and lower for whatever weather dictates, but the ends of this massive shed are what keeps the eye interested. Bright orange containers work to provide walls and private space where there otherwise would not be any. A large patio area outside of the loft create more square footage and living space and keep it from feeling too cramped. Complementing each other perfectly, the orange of the container and the blue of the dining chairs provide a classy, pre-modern funk. Storage container homes can also have fun with hillsides, whether man-made or natural. This home features an inner courtyard, but the really unique part is the second floor leading right into the yard. Playing with height in this way not only increases the visual value of the house, but also utilizes space very well. On the side, a walkway connects the two halves of the home. While it may not be the best connector in cold or rainy weather, it certainly is beautiful in the sun and warmth of summer. Some shipping container homes don't even end in the shape they began. This home, for example, has really only one area that the viewer can distinguish the container in. Otherwise, the home creates its own unique shape and design. Rectangular windows of various width and height keep the face of the house interesting, and the contrast of black and white creates a smooth and clean appearance. The many windows and upper patio connect the closed-off space to outside light and keep it modern and fresh-looking. When the area for the home is narrow like this, having a deep-set home style can save on square footage. This shipping container house brings in the best of modern and natural home décor style. A craggy tree trunk can be seen jutting out from the cement patio, giving a twist of natural lines. But the second floor porch above is metallic, cold, and streamlined. Likewise, the round wooden décor balls on the patio contrast with the straight lines of the container ridges that backdrop the sitting area. Built right in touch with nature, a tree nearly overhangs directly into the porch, and leaving the last step takes you directly to a natural flagstone walkway. Storage container homes can either stand out or blend in this one. However, takes a stand-out approach. Covered with wooden slats to discourage the hot sun from warming up the interior, this home feels like a throwback to 60s style blinds. However, breaking up the pattern is a beautiful stretch of open glass windows and a wide door frame. The other side of the house mimics this design, and in all, it creates an amazing, open space that gives breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. Likewise, an open patio area is kept free from trees or other distracting objects and allows you to enjoy the nature around you. Not a fan of the flat roof design? Perhaps this storage container home is what you need. Eight containers situated alongside each other allow this house room to breathe and stand out. Varying the monotony of the sides, the designer has chosen to place a separate color and texture to help the home be less ostentatious. Each container is capped with large windows, with many of those windows being glazed over for privacy. A hip, chuckered roof gives the impression of belonging in your average subdivision, but another look lets you know that this shipping container home is one of a kind. This shipping container house is a very simple structure and design. The touches of added complexity in the letter posters and white wording on the side of the storage container add a nice touch. The tall windows let the eye travel around the interior. They also showcase the professional use of red as a highlight color, seen in the posters, couch, bedding, and overall container color. The patio remains uncluttered and simple and plays on the straight lines present throughout the rest of the design. Shipping container homes, coming as individual containers, can easily be made into segmented living quarters. This home has two separated living areas joined in the middle with a beautiful outdoor courtyard and patio. The natural stone and grass linking the two areas are a nice contrast to the industrial impression of the home. Both floors of the home open to the courtyard below with large sliding doors and both of the areas behind those doors are large open spaces in the interior. The side rooms are kept more private.
