When you can’t build wide, build high. This gives you a chance to incorporate some awesome windows and balconies to really gain that wow factor. This container home combines both wood and metal elements to exude a modern style that’s comparable to any traditional home.
Accessorize Your Home
Contemporary Entry by Sydney Architects & Building Designers Asa Architects
Just like any traditional home, sometimes all it needs is a little accessorizing to spruce it up. Container homes are no exception. The slanted roof, wood bridge, metal railings, siding, and letting nature do its thing can bring a home to life. This home connects different areas of the house to the outside, giving the elevated container a natural fit. The curvy lines of the attached bridge soften the straight lines of the design.

The awesome aspect of shipping containers is that you can style and design your own roof. If you’re willing to brave it, you’ll reap in energy-efficiency benefits, shelter protection, and unique design qualities. The large canopy design gives this home a resort-like environment. Need to relax a little?

Feel like you’d be a little boxed in with a container home? Claustrophobia problem solved. Use one side of the home to completely open up space. Not only will you have ample patio deck space, but you’ll also provide an airy and spacious feel to your container home.
Interior Designing is Endless

You’re not limited to metal walls and cramped space just because you have a container home. If anything, you’re more at an advantage to splurge on luxury materials to decorate your home because of the smaller space and open design. Getting creative with your space might just prove to be the best project to create your dream home.
Expand Your Living Space
