Stunning Modern Small Home Made From 3 x 20ft Shipping Containers

This week we explore a stunning small modern home which has been constructed using 3 x 20ft shipping containers. Situated near Lake Taupo, New Zealand, this home is built on a beautiful elevated section with commanding views over the lake and to the mountains beyond.
Shipping container homes continue to become increasingly popular. Their structural strength makes them a wonderful option for difficult building sites and they can be wonderfully transformed into spectacular dwellings.
Brenda is no stranger to living in container homes. The first time we met her she was living in a wonderful home made from a single 20ft container. She then constructed a second home made from a 40ft container and now has transitioned into yet another container home, this time using 3 x 20ft shipping containers.
Her experience in small space design has lead to some wonderful innovations, clever use of space and utilisation of ingenious transforming furniture to make sure her small home has a big impact!
You can find links to our first tours with Brenda below.

This tiny home seems completely liveable. No climbing ladders, no catwalks, no bedrooms where you can't stand up or walk around your bed. There is storage for the car! This home takes into consideration aging in place. Very well designed, and I think it is just 600 sq ft.

@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom Some people require 3000 sq. ft. for a 2 bedroom home. She did not. This offers much more than "just a 2 bedroom home" in 600 sq. ft.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the innovative furniture pieces Brenda uses and I also love the material she uses for the roof covering in her outdoor space (clear material) for additional light. From this video Bryce included the links to Brenda’s other videos (20 foot and 40 foot container homes) so I was able to watch those as well. I see Brenda wearing a shirt advertising container homes. I’ll look to see if she has a YT channel. I’m in the U.S but and I’ve seen companies who work with container homes but NONE match her innovative products/ideas. Thank you for sharing.g

That’s a 1 million dollar view right there😍 Edit: She’s so proud of her balcony ,omg!

That desk/bed combo in the office is _insane_ Folds down over the monitors! Don't mind me, just need to scrape my mouth off the floor real quick...

[@livingbig]

It's a clever design, right!?

[@timh.6872]

@@livingbig I'm just flabbergasted that it so cleanly covers the semi-delicate deskop equipment, and lowers them into the pocket below the mattress completely level. It's a beautifully engineered piece of furniture.

[@allegrosotto2126]

@@livingbig I Have been looking at similar designs for my next build but this one takes the cake!

[@mapleleaf0]

We have one of these. It absolutely is awesome. You can leave everything set up on the desk and still get easy access to the bed.

1. New Zealand is beautiful! Look at those views! 2. Brenda is an amazing human! More power to you! 3. That ending note was inspiring, Bryce, and those shots are awesome, Rasa! 4. Containers are insanely efficient in modular designs Simply adore your channel and how it makes me a guest at the houses of so many unique and interesting people. Keep doing what you do. You're doing a marvellous job. -Azeem A., With Love from Pakistan

Jetzt habe ich es, zum 2.Mal angeschaut. Ich bin echt neidisch. So eine schöne Gegend.Die Natur, das Meer, einfach überwältigend. Der Standort für dieses Tinyhaus, ist genau richtig und passend. Ich habe es mir gespeichert,damit ich es mir immer und immer, wieder anschauen kann und träumen kann.🤩👍

What a dream house with spectacular views and beautiful landscape. Her office space desk being transformed to a bed is quite unique. I love everything about this home. Brenda's lively personality shows in her work with this home.

[@jgfjhg-co7iq]

She didn't even move anything on her desk a single inch before pulling the spare bed down from over-top. I cringed, expecting everything was about to get smashed. That was fantastic.

Just over here in covid-infested Los Angeles, dreaming of building a container home in New Zealand.

Im not sure why anyone would want to go regressive. LBTH is the epitome of generous love, passion and progression, for the 21st century.

I think we all would love a magnificent tiny home in New Zealand, no matter where we are in the world! Dream life!

[@rosyclaire]

I love this not so tiny 'tiny house'. It's age proofed by having a full height bedroom and a second bedroom/office for visitors. I also like the storage/car port under the bedroom. That's a really good idea.

[@jmk1962]

Agree. No climbing ladders to loft beds.

[@reader6690]

Stunning is the right word!

[@dieynad]

This house is so lovely! Beautiful design, amazing views, deeply respectful of your needs and values. Bravo! Thank you so much for showing it. This episode is among my favourites : high positive energy, calming yet deeply inspiring. Thank you! 🌺

[@hughkirk3946]

Gorgeous tiny home! The carport and the deck are wonderful additions to this property. The small outside building that sleeps two or more and the extra room inside that doubles as an office and a guest bedroom is nothing short of brilliant. This is a prime example of exceptional design of a tiny house!
