Luxury Container Home built from two 40' containers!

Nick takes us on a tour of his stunning container home, built with recycled containers and renewable materials. This unique design is created from two 40' containers, one cut in half, and the other stacked on top with an impressive cantilever. The inside features luxury amenities, including a steam shower, hot tub, and two full bedrooms. But this isn't Nick's first incredible build. We've also featured his A-frame treehouse on this channel (link below).

Beautiful home, but a $250,000 price tag seems to cancel out all of the reasons to build a tiny home in the first place. You could literally build ten 40’ container homes for that price

[@HeroAntagonist]

The sheer glee and pride he has in the build is infectious. Looks incredible and that shower, hell yeah

[@helenahasenson9628]

But no sink....

[@clarkmulvey4876]

@@helenahasenson9628 Yeah ngl I would hate to take a dump and then have to walk down the hallway, potentially open two doors, just to wash my hands

[@pdq5465]

The shower could have been a bit smaller so that a sink would fit. It’s not very hygienic without a sink.

[@frik4frak]

He has every right to be proud!

[@googadisbeotches9360]

It's rather difficult to contain enthusiasm with this wonderful house! You really delivered the goods with this!

[@StevoJacobs]

This dude is geeking out hard on his build and I love it.

[@treehuggingmusician595]

Nick is obviously proud of his container home and rightly so. It is beautiful and functional.

[@laiten35]

Nick needs his own KZbin, his presentation is so good!

[@DawnOldham]

I loved his enthusiasm for the house and all the extras he was able to add. Being a geologist, I can see that he had fun with the lava rock. Add to that the interesting lighting and fireplace and you have a gorgeous place to stay.

[@benwarped7272]

well duh its an ad for airbnb ofc he wants to ACT EXCITED. sheep

[@DawnOldham]

@@benwarped7272 True, but no need to call names. My son and I set up a house for AirBnb and it WAS exciting to see all the hard work begin paying off!

[@TheWormzerjr]

you go do that then

[@kellyrichards1354]

Beautiful, unique details. Looks like Nick's art is designing his homes and the placement of each on his six acres.

[@linl5338]

Beautiful container cabin. Impressed by detail.

[@mowattlavern62]

I love everything about this home, it was built on love

[@shellyackerman3177]

Love this guy! He is very creative and has good taste and a love for the environment! Way to go!

[@wynnhorton1208]

b.s. this is sacrilege - esp. the ugly bright yellow that clashes with the surroundings

[@carltongirl95]

Wow what a beautiful place to holiday or live...the view's are spectacular and the shipping container's are fitted out perfectly (I love that staircase)...if I lived closer this would be on my bucket list...thankyou for sharing Jenna oh and the owner sound's like a fun guy and really down to earth as well 💜🇦🇺

[@jenniferhuff2566]

Love the consideration for sustainable materials and building within the trees instead of tearing them out. Beautiful job!

[@MrAdam100576]

I love how they used the raw shipping container skins with the magnificent, modern windows! Did you see how they finished the roofing? Is it simply shipping container or did they add any additional weather proofing?

[@ginj5375]

Foam insulation.

[@karolynmarshall]

Love the out of box thinking and excitement the owner has for his property. May the investment, time and resources pay dividends for years to come.

[@CheekyFest]

it's more IN the box, technically :p

[@Thrillkisser]

Love it!!! I could live there full-time!

[@jwo1923]

Very nice! My only concern is privacy in the bathrooms. Especially since there's another dwelling next door.

[@x35mmman]

spend a few dollars and get remote curtains or tint the windows so you can see out but they cannot see it. Plus the distance from the. couch to the TV is way to close

[@meridethhendry5733]

WoW! What an amazing place and so beautiful.

[@melissabenson6749]

Just beautiful & I love the "Art" staircase, Lava, countertops ,anything eclectic is for me👍👍🩷 However, w/the 6 homes so close to trees, I sure hope there're "lightening rods"! Great job!

[@kathoakes929]

Absolutely beautiful. His enthusiasm is catching lol. He has an amazing imagination and it transforms into beautiful homes.

[@SnarkasticSunny]

Love this tug boat home & the owners too! Creative & unique & you can tell how much she loves living there! So sweet & awesome - a "personal tour" for sure! What a blessing that her husband knows boats & metal-working - has ability & desire to make it into authentic home. Good job! The other owners changed the boat so much that it wasn't a tug anymore (except down in engine room). It's wonderful! I love tugboats anyway ~ all that power!... Mighty, little workhorse & the big ships go nowhere without tugs escorting 'em in & out! Usually, the whole 'down below' is chock-full of massive engines...this is much nicer as living quarters!

[@mauricepowers3804]

I love this house and no you did not go too far with the lava theme it's really incredible!!!!

[@nadineforlizzi9597]

For the bathroom. Look into “smart tiny film” with the touch of a button it will completely frost the glass, and then with another touch of a button it is clear glass… it won’t take away from the beautiful design at all

[@mariansmith7694]

Nick made me smile...

[@briana14333]

This is one of my favorites!! I love the inside and outside, especially the kitchen, stairs and shower 😻 and the views! He was so intentional and proud about every detail!! And it turned out beautiful!

[@adstix]

Artistic and also functional 👍🏻 A couple of suggestions, though: 1) Perhaps a one-way mirror film on the bathroom window will address any privacy concerns. 2) A few "container art" theme pictures will add a bit of color to the bare walls!

[@b_uppy]

Mirror film works during daylight when light is stronger outside than within. Nighttime will need curtains but then it is hard to see to the outside anyways, and you often want to sewa curtains to keep it warmer --so a win.

[@efortunywhitton]

GORGEOUS! I could just live in that; in the 6 acres... wouldn't need anything else. 😊❤

[@leannaestep3066]

He makes me want to be there right now! What a gem of a property.

[@PhilipSteeves]

A very tasteful and artistically designed home! It's really beautiful!

[@burningmanmike]

I have a 40'er on my property and use 1/2 for storage, and 1/2 for hangout space. Fire ring out back, and horseshoe pit. Good times!

[@dv1216]

This house and guy were pretty darn cool! Normally, I don’t care for Airbnb host (cuz I live on Maui & there’s a shortage of homes due to illegal STR) but I really like him🌲🐿️

[@gigidodson]

Nothing is more beautiful than the PNW.

[@doorkeeper4872]

NEED ABOUT 4 MORE 👍👍👍👍

[@visno]

it’s interesting to me that most container home builds are always some sort of luxury build, when you would think that they would be affordable housing builds because with containers you have less to worry about with structural integrity, and because they’re all the same size, it’s really easy to be cookie cutter formats.

[@nicholashawley8473]

Yea it’s hard because unless you do all the work yourself, the cost of all the equipment and flooring insulation walls water, etc

[@thomasstudio7130]

One of the best container homes ever. Well done.

[@lynnyhen]

I love everything about this container home!!

[@tonycarver9570]

It's nice to see someone just so proud of their creativity. Refreshing Sir. God bless you and yours.

[@skyysurfer]

Oh I loved this one!! The sink in the bedroom is wonderful. Most houses with 1 bathroom could benefit from separating shower and toilet into two separate spaces with micro sinks in the bedrooms.

[@GenerationX3333]

Beautiful home

[@rogermccaslin5963]

"Be careful, the floor is lava." I had to laugh. Very nice job on the home and great property to set it on.

[@snowbird6855]

Truly gorgeous! Wonderful location! The downside is the other nearby buildings that negate the total "in forest" experience and would make me feel exposed with the floor to ceiling windows.

[@sandrafluharty7212]

I love how much he loves this place! One of my favorites you’ve done! He’s great! And LOVVVVVE his place!! (And especially how environmentally in-tune he is! Way to go!!

[@paulfromperth5713]

I would love to live in this home. Be so peaceful and beautiful. 👌

[@Imagin8io]

Gosh that mossy forest makes for such a beautiful view in the bedrooms. Just stunning!

[@sandycollins3613]

Absolutely gorgeous and modern. Incredible stairs.👏👏

[@dawnsmith4275]

Nick's passion and genius truly shine in this build. I especially love the sustainable theme!

[@deborahnicholson2855]

Absolutely beautiful!...love just about everything about this build...EXCEPT the cork flooring...reason beening I have cork flooring in my kitchen and the bathrooms. It was recommended by my contractor at the time for its amazing comfort and warmth on the feet...which is does have...but MAJOR DOWN FALL after a few years it leaves wear patterns in high traffic areas...also if dropping silverware in the kitchen, especially knives or forks, it leaves gashes in the cork which are unrepairable!! Bottom line the only place I would recommend using cork flooring would be in the bathrooms for its extra warmth on the feet and we have no wear patterns...if you're set on using cork in high traffic areas I would highly recommend throwing down area rugs...which to me defeats the purpose of showing off your beautiful flooring!!

[@tjh4115]

you didn't go overboard with the lava. this is awesome

[@NK71482]

This gentleman did a great job describing the build and products used.

[@jeroberts7228]

Nick was a fun tour guide! Still chucklin', here. That's an interesting abode, with a lot of cool features.

[@lizh1988]

Wow! --At the whole thing, so well designed and balanced. Glad about the materials.

[@aaaapple803]

beautiful beautiful beautiful. Never thought of a container house with such an asesthic interior: the floor plan, lighting, dark and wooden colours and the diagonal placement of the upper deck....of course with the natural environment outside, love it.

[@windrider5845]

ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! Love all the finishes and the stairs! I hope to use some of these ideas in my own set up some day! ❤❤❤

[@JRs-Garage]

Hahaha nick is hilarious 😂😂🤣

[@henktulp4400]

Well done!!!!.... a beautiful house both in- and outside!!!

[@levi9926]

Beautiful property and container home. Thank you for sharing.

[@melindaostergren8115]

Very spiffy. Enjoyed the use the f the cantilevers and your choice of colors. There’s no way I’d shower or sleep in these rooms without some kind of window coverings; the toilets are far enough back that I’d probably be ok. But that’s just me. I can certainly see why you went with the open windows as part of the overall design.

[@kathleenlaconte]

Tremendous work!!!

[@iseejewelz3874]

Always so amazed by what people design w the tiny homes and how breathtaking and serene the surroundings are. Also Nick is so damn handsome 😊

[@lauriepeal7558]

$750 a night to stay at that place. Are you kidding me. That's absolutely outrageous.

[@Originalman144]

Totally outrageous. The Four Seasons is cheaper

[@natalieroy4849]

You, I just checked for October. With all the fees it came up to $1293 for 2 nights. 😂 Five years ago, I stayed in 5 star safari properties in South Africa for less per night. And it included all 3 meal meals, alcohol and 6 hours of safaris per day. Value is definitely lacking here.

[@Traveler012]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 for 750dollas you travel to Turkey for one week and hotel included in the price with breakfast 😂

[@mariuspetre1613]

And not only that… 250k for that? I bet you can do better for much less than that 😮

[@Traveler012]

@@mariuspetre1613 for 250k you can build a Palace lol, this is a total fail. Either he is lying out right to wash some money or he just wants to push the value up of something that has a very low valuation. What in those 2 containers is worth 232k? He could have orderd hightech prefab containers for 50k with everything you can imagin. A beautiful Prefab house would cost 250k There is plenty of video on KZbin whe it comes to containers where people build off grid with solar panels and everything for like 30k-100k that are 100times better then this.

[@frik4frak]

It's beautiful! Maybe on the first floor, have 2 containers side by side that would make the place wider. Maybe the kitchen and bathroom could be larger. Maybe a bigger bedroom as well. Upstairs was nice, a bit small but I'd have the larger bedroom downstairs so I'm all set. The materials and design were so attractive. I love the modern look of it all. The stone and lava, wood was so well-designed and looked perfect together. If I wasn't 70 and on Social Security, I would be looking into becoming a container dweller.
