BROOKLIN — The mantra for the 21st century is to do more with less, and many building pioneers are exploring how to repurpose material to construct homes.
A new example can be seen at a marina in Belfast, where Brooklin boatbuilder Steve White has parked his new houseboat, constructed from shipping containers. But if you go down to the marina for a look, don't expect to see two big steel boxes welded together. While White's houseboat does have an unusual design when compared to other architecture in Belfast, it's also welcoming, with a warm red exterior paint and spacious windows. The interior is just as inviting, with radiant heat, bamboo flooring, and a sleek kitchen. "It's much more house than boat," White said. White decided to build a houseboat after selling a second home. Because of the trade imbalance between China and the U.S., ports on the eastern seaboard always have a surplus of steel shipping containers.
White assembled a team to help him with the project. This Shipping Container Home In The Redwoods Is Amazing! You Should See... You Can Turn A $2000 Shipping Container Into An Epic Off-Grid Home.

Built from a 20-foot by 8-foot container, the home is only a total of 160 square feet and exceptionally modern and minimalistic. With some creative design work and storage options, the home has everything one might need for comfortable living, including a kitchen, a water closet bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet, plenty of storage space, seating areas, and a bed. Kable decided to design the container home as “raw” as possible, doing very little to the exterior and keeping the interior super simple and open.

Modern day pioneer John Wells is doing some interesting work in Alpine, Texas.
On his desert swath in The Field Lab, which is also referred to as The Southwest Texas Alternative Energy and Sustainable Living Field Laboratory, Wells is living off the grid and building an interesting live/work space of shipping containers. A couple years ago, he built a tiny house, which is powered by 270 watts of solar and four 100-watt small wind turbines. Now, Wells’ current project is the construction of a live/work space made from four 20-foot shipping containers.

ContainerLove, a small modern house. “ContainerLove” is a new modern home in a rural area of western Germany, standing out among more traditional gabled farm houses and barns. It was designed by Cologne-based studio LHVH Architekten. The home was assembled from three modules, each 3 meters wide and with lengths of 7, 9 and 14 meters. Despite the name, the modules do not seem to be shipping containers; they are wider than the standard 8′ intermodal container and are also wider than the 2.55 meter maximum transport width in effect throughout most of Europe. The extra width is useful though. Even with walls that are thick enough for a good blanket of insulation, there is still plenty of room for furniture in the bedrooms.
The three modules are arranged in an L-shaped floor plan of approximately 90 m2 (969 ft2). The modules were prefabricated over four weeks. Photographs by Tomas Riehle, courtesy of LHVH Architekten.
