  • I’m always amazed at how people can turn shipping containers, hard, cold metal boxes, into some of the most beautiful, warm and welcoming homes. That’s exactly what this young couple from Victoria have done, transforming 3 20ft shipping containers into a wonderful, functional house.
    Support our show: / livingbig
    Everywhere you look, Richard and Amy have packed their container home with great small space design ideas, ensuring that within the small footprint of the shipping containers, there is a tremendous amount of home and living space. Just as much thought has been put into the build of the home, with some great choices in materials and construction techniques making this a high performing and well insulating container home.

    This home utilises a grid tied solar system, taking advantage of the extreme Australian sun. It also collects all it’s own water. With another family member on the way, this is sure to be a wonderful home for this young family. I hope you enjoy this video tour!

    I absolutely love the idea of getting together with family, combining funds, buying some land, and building individual container homes like our own little village or something. Especially now with everything that has happened this year with Covid etc, being in our own little family village would have made quarantining all the more tolerable. *drafts proposal to present at next family gathering*

    I live on a 37 foot 80s boat. It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the small space is really all you need. My husband is a marine mechanic so it runs great and we take it out a lot but if that’s not your forte, a house boat would be just as cool. It wasn’t too expensive, slip rent is minimal and we have an absolutely STUNNING view from every window (hatch and porthole!) of the Chesapeake Bay. Tiny living is truly the way to go in order to live LARGE for less.

    This is one of the best shipping container homes I've seen. And with respect to all tiny home living -- I find it notable that so many of the BEST jobs start with "...we're on our family's land." If you're lucky enough to already have or be given space on the real estate, all the funding and effort is put into the home itself and it makes so much difference.

    • @richardbianco3193
      @richardbianco3193 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It definitely helps with a big problem w these, curb appeal. It takes creative mind to give them curb appeal & that worked really well- have made mental note. Idea for others, haven't tried this yet but pretty sure I can rig up bracket with moulding to essentially use solar panels as the roof - I'd have made the entire top solar panels, they have some stiffness to them and a light bracing system with rubber moulding that goes up inbetween two panels & rests on top of the entire seem, like pushing a point between a narrow gap, once it breaks through the point expands locking it down holding one span of panels together. Not safe enough (probably) for real roof but I'd do something like this guy but those three roof would be panels all hooked and almost looking like one frame of panels bolted together. You could add slanted roof, or do what he did and experiment with placement for effect.

    • @SuperLisandro86
      @SuperLisandro86 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also shipping containers gets really hot, even with proper isolation if the sun hits directly. So the floating roof is good for keeping it warmer, and also reduce the sound that strong rain or hailing can make. The negative point is that is going to shake a lot with strong winds.

It is super insulated and our power bill is only $30 a month. We chose cedar shake siding as it blends well with our maritime coastal environment. We paid cash and built it ourselves so no mortgage payments.

    Just about the best container design/build I have seen to date, and I have seen a lot! The outside cladding makes it look really sharp. I will seriously consider doing this layout for my retirement home, but maybe use longer containers.

      Yes of course. The land in these areas is incredibly expensive which is why many who are going down this path either start up on family land, or renting somewhere. But, this model does allow for people to own their own home and then save up for land of their own some day if that's what they choose.

      Dalton Bedore Very true and this is a conversation that I have a lot; however, I believe the comment was more about witnessing the journey of someone without “free” land .
      I could be wrong and that’s totally fine but, I’ve notice that too.
      Most of the stories speak on living debt free but, since I’ve been binging this channel (and I LOVE it) I haven’t found a story that had to start from scratch yet.

    This was one of my favorites (watching for a second time today). I really want you to go back and see how it is now with a baby. I think people under estimate just how much a child takes over your life from how you were use to it, but I also think people over estimate what you actually need when raising a child (it's really not as much as you think). So it would be really interesting to see how so of these homeowners are doing now that they have children in their small spaces.

    • @D-me-dream-smp
      @D-me-dream-smp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I agree - I personally found the design quite pleasing (not everyone’s taste I realise) and thought the layout was generally a practical, user friendly one. The only part I wasn’t keen on was the bedroom- the bed is impractical and I wouldn’t like not being able to close the area off, more of an issue once their child arrives.

      @barklordofthesith2997 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @@D-me-dream-smp I wished they would show a birds eye view of the place. I'm betting they added another 20-ft container at the end for a second bathroom & childrens bedroom/play area. I think that would work until they have a second child or the one gets older as adults will want their bedroom NOT wave to be walked through to get to the living room by other members of the household. Perhaps if the next container they add becomes their bedroom with a second bath & their current room becomes the kids area that would work for a longer time.
