Innovative Shipping Container Homes + The Conversion Process

Converting #shippingcontainers into homes is full of amazing design possibilities and is remarkably sustainable. The reuse aspect means less use of lumber--ideal for our climate change reality. That's precisely what appealed to Relevant Buildings, a container house manufacturer in Oregon City, OR.
Owner Carl Coffman shares tours of their innovative small and tiny container home models, all building code compliant. Each is made with one or more high-cube shipping containers, sometimes stacked, like for an affordable housing condo project.
Innovative bump-outs, in many of their container houses, create added width inside for a more open, functional space. Engineering is key. Carl also shares a fascinating walk-through of the container conversion process.

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book

Love the "bump out" on these container homes. Really does give you lots of room. But I especially like the large doors with all the glass. Really beautiful. You almost forget they are container homes. These designers & renovators are true artists. Knowing just where to place kitchens & bath & bedrooms that work is a very difficult thing to do. The flow of traffic has got to work. Great ideas & really nice work. (I want one) My hats off to all of y'all. Very impressive. Blessings.

I was lucky enough to tour Relevant Building's homes in Oct 2020. AMAZING quality, finish, and design. I've wanted a container home years and as soon as I can, I want to order one of theirs. Love them!!! They offer tours regularly so if you ever have the opportunity to check them out in person, I highly recommend it.

Finally i find a company thats knows all the realties of making a real and legal container home in most states.

[@myfavoritesutube1]

Thanks so much for this... 7 feet wide is a no go, but a bump out makes this idea perfect for me.

[@GKBraidstudio]

Love it. I like how you're working with the government to help bring affordable housing to many that need it. I want to do something like this for my community in Florida.

[@pamm5287]

Absolutely brilliant builds, and hopefully these recycled & repurposed containers will eventually become obtainable & affordable housing for low income family's all over the United States.

[@karongoodine3288]

Beautiful container homes you are building.

[@MagdalenaShakti]

So very cool! Innovative, affordable, fire proof, energy efficient, and lovely!! Yes, please!!

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

I'm going to share this with my grandson! He's attending a Welding school, and I like to show him the opportunities he has when he finishes school. Thanks for this segment!

Love that you can put theses anywhere! A Shipping Container Luxury Condos site 4-5 stories and about 1 city block long, just built and sold in Nashville Tn. I heard the owner paid around 1.5 million for property, shipping containers, construction and turn key of 25 units and just sold them all for 68 Million! Absolutely Beautiful! Right nest to the Civic Center down town. I think I have pictures of the shipping containers just before they were finished erecting the last few containers. I can’t wait to see one.

[@stacey9003]

The best shipping container homes I've seen, at a good cost. Lots of planning and attention to detail that really make these homes exceptional.

[@sashastarshanti3599]

LOVE THIS!! Not only reusing an existing object as housing, but working towards the goal of more affordable housing. The innovation is so cool, and I love the design choices. I think shipping container villages for homeless people could also be a good way for cities and communities to work to help people in need get a new start in life. No doubt this particular container home builder will do very well financially in the future.

[@GrummanIsComin]

These are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I would love to have one of these homes!

[@jenniofdaisysdropbox2462]

Love it!!!! Great construction! I live in FL. Come here! They sound like could be hurricane proof.

[@SDPBALLCOACH]

WOW, JUST WOW!

[@cherriemckinstry131]

Very nice construction. And asthetics. The tea house is nice.

[@bellahayden5275]

The Best ones I've ever seen😻 The Engineers are super skilled! Omg this makes me want to move into these tiny container house. I'm in love❤

[@sharoncochran8508]

Recycle, repurpose, reinvent! REMARKABLE!
