When I think of a weekend get away home, the first thing I ask myself is what do I want? How many people am I entertaining? How often will I use it? Who will watch it when I am not there? Do I want on the grid or off the grid? But if my mind set is – minimal; by minimal, I mean equivalent to a nice hotel room, a one shipping container house could get the job done.
I found these photographs on several separate blog sites, none of them listed a story of who owned this house or where it was built (if anyone knows please drop a comment). Anyway, this is a nicely done one room vacation get away.

Hi,
Thanks for posting about this home.
There is a lot of misleading and misunderstood information out there about Shipping Container Homes, its the very reason I started containerhome.info – the home that you profiled in this story is not manufactured using ISO shipping containers.
ISO containers are intermodel which means they are 8 ft wide ( in order to fit inside a standard transport envelope ), whilst you can join two ( or more containers ) together to create wider spaces you certainly would lift them together as shown in the pictures.
This house is very elegant and I have no criticism of it in any way but its not a shipping container its a metal prefab.
For those wanting to find out more about container homes we have a range of design and education materials including 90 minutes of free videos and 3D software – you can start at
