Thanks so much for coming out to film the home Shelby! I'm just wrapping up filming the budget breakdown video 🙌🏻

[@FloydTaylor]

epic house!

[@ShelbyChurch]

Looking forward to seeing it!!

[@got2bjosh]

Glad you were more transparent about how you made it happen: the mix of your diy family upbringing, learned hard skills, easier savings via a six figure income from your STEM based job, stock dividends, and a credit approval all paved the way for wealth building via a $1M+ income property. It helps people look past the wow factor and connect the dots via consistent, disciplined, focused, and concerted effort. Thanks for including estimates on material, labor, and design costs. Furniture aside, the cost of quality fixtures, pillows, rugs, and curtains is no joke.

[@MatthewBlaine]

Great work man. Loved watching the build and following your journey since you left Michigan.

[@korylp6219]

Props due where props due… amazing build and finishing! Also very smart man to invest everything into Tesla a few years ago 😂 paid off well. Congrats mate!

[@ryandubyah2345]

Absolutely loved this build! I am REALLY not a fan of modern builds but this one, especially with the warm touches of the Scandanavian influence, really took me in! Great job of the owner to put so much of his own time and effort into it, I really couldn’t commend him enough. And the stunning views from the bedrooms, wwwoooowwwwww

[@Dakarn]

The view distracts you from the fact that there's nowhere to keep your clothing.

[@designgauge]

Very cool house - I'm really impressed by the quality on the materials but even more so the design. Very stylish and sophisticated - I love the industrial aesthetic with all the black details, all warmed with wood. Great job!

Im jus curious, where is ur last name from? The perera part.

[@thedeaddonkey8018]

It is cool and nice but i feel like at this price point dimensions of shipping containers are really holding back the potential. Absolutely nothing bad to say about the final product otherwise tho.

[@rickhall517930]

This is literally the best container home built I’ve ever seen. I would actually love to live in this space. ♥️💯

[@creolelady182]

[@jamesmatheson5115]

It cost over $500K so it best be up there.

[@wrwya78]

500k, ask the Govt.

[@YoungGee13]

⁠@@jamesmatheson5115 it cost 500K to build wtfff!!!! But I mean I believe he don’t pay taxes n other shit like that like you would for an actual home. I wonder if he even has insurance on it incase something happens I doubt it though? Imagine A wild fire n shit 😂at least the medal containers will still be there for him to rebuild lol

[@kumark214]

@@YoungGee13it’s 350k for the build. And it is an actual home and treated like every other home. And what do you mean no insurance? Of course he has insurance. Why wouldn’t he? And these structures are far superior to stick built in every way.

[@DaleHelmForHouse]

Devon...wow...just wow. Great design...boss discipline and great passion and planning. Easily the best container build I have seen and a fabulous location. It has it all. The fact you built all of this yourself is amazing - BRAVO!

[@brenda12santana]

Omg I’m blown away by this home it’s stunning and the views! 😮😍 Also I am very impressed that he built this almost entirely on he’s own, wow he has talent! So much work and dedication to ent into this, I am so impressed! I can For-see him making a lot of money on this build! 😊

[@sevenhaven2721]

Dude this is like my dream home, I'm planning to build a house for myself and this is the kind of design I look for. Thank you for sharing.

[@VideoGameRoom32]

I wonder how well this will hold up in weather conditions. Good on him. He did most of this himself.

[@hellcatmd7635]

How you think shipping containers survive in the sea?

[@Hrathen39]

Shipping containers make for some of the toughest housing in terms of structural integrity. Would hold up a lot better than 99% of homes

[@shaniquatennille]

The perfect modern home I love how it has the traditional mixed with modern elements. ❤

[@karmen1265]

You mean built

[@rebecca_is_book-hooked]

Yes! The Cullens’ house is exactly what came to my mind.

[@rogerdou7226]

I was excited until he said it was for B & B use. I'm finding that a lot of cool construction ideas that I see on youtube is for that purpose. I have a place in nature that I have been wanting to renovate & do something fun & not too big that blends with nature & I'm finding out that a lot of municipalities forbid this kind of construction for private use but they'll allow some of the stuff we see on youtube after they've re-zoned an area for the purpose of rentals. Then you're surrounded by noise & parties in nature & the only winner here is the municipality because they can charge higher taxes. Everybody is out to make money. We live in a world where, on one hand we say, let's save the planet, but are totally unwilling to make the necessary changes to achieve it. Let ordinary citizens build interesting dwellings to LIVE in, that will blend with the environment & won't ruin their budget. This stuff really makes me sad. All these great building ideas used for rentals. It's a huge problem that has to be addressed.

[@ThE4EvRPs3GaMeR]

I agree

[@kumark214]

Why is it a problem? What’s wrong with rentals? Travel is a big part of life and someone doing business in travel is nothing wrong. short term rental in a city is an issue as it results in shortage of homes so that needs to be regulated. But if that is not an issue in some places, open up a travel dwelling. It’s part of life.

[@freddyg9026]

@@kumark214 because by allowing it, it raises the cost of property, which raises rents and leases, which are currently out of control.

[@steventwiddy3402]

When it comes down to it, regardless what people say all that really matters to most of them is money and how much more of it they can get to buy more stuff, I’m curious to see how much of that money 💵 and stuff they are going to take with them when they die !

The Bauhaus meets the Pacific Northwest! A beautiful build, form follows function and the shipping container build was well put together! If money were no object, I’d like to live in one myself! Valuation is right on the money and I’m impressed it got built at all in such a remote place with stunning views.

this one I found on Instagram :)

[@mattbrew11]

You should come see my container home in San Diego County! Its on 99 acres and has the most incredible sunsets and a bit of an ocean view even though its 22 miles inland. 100% off grid which is what made the land quasi affordable. Not on Airbnb though its just my dream house

[@brie1987]

I’m a little jealous…I’m from SD but live in western NC and now it’s so expensive there. Water may be an issue, too. There is no shortage of that where I live. I can visit, though. My family is there. I’d love to see your home! Put up a video! 😊

[@janissaryone1906]

Why is he using such a beautiful home as an air BNB? It's a labor of love and it would be a shame to rent it out to people who aren't going to take care of it and treat it like crap since it's not theirs.

[@bayleaoconnor4039]

To make the money back :) and some !

[@shaylahkelevitz7903]

Because he’s smart. By the time he can retire, it’ll be payed off & he’ll enjoy it the whole second half of his life

[@Theiliteritesbian]

Land labor of love is fine. Don't give him ur feelings right?

[@Betobeto_6]

I understand your point, he is acquiring asset, he is learning to not be emotionally attached to it. I wish him to have many more in the future if it’s in his plans. Containers are great ways to build assets with fancy design as long as you DIY to save cost and increase profitability.

[@GPbSWAGGINit]

You didn’t get what he said? He also got a private loan for 5percent. So he wants to make some profit off of it to pay the loan while someone else is renting it out everyday. 😁

[@calvee1100]

This house is definitely for morning people! I would have to put blankets in the bedroom windows so I could sleep in!

[@SolWayward-]

It looked like the windows might have had a a thin blackout pull down shade. Looks like there is some type of handle and possible shade at the very top.

This is a massive accomplishment for such a young man, I am sad to hear it's an air B&B however. That being said massive plus for installing real wood floors, that's something you don't see anymore.

[@ravent3016]

That's a lovely home. I am sure he's looking forward to using it himself, although the AirBnB income will be welcome to pay the mortgage. He's put in the sweat equity - I know from living in the PNW that he's right about the costs if he hadn't done the work himself.
