What is the cost for this container home, including amenities like the washer/dryer?
I want to buy this tiny house, how do I?
Have to agree with you
Wow kinda leaves me with the feeling if me and my beloved lawn tractor wanna become better friends have lunch together take a nap a place like that one might be for us...
The best shipping container home I've seen on TH-cam.
Ditto. Very well done. All it's missing is a HOT TUB..! Oh.. and a better view.
Probably one of the most expensive too!
I agree... well thought through and superbly created inside and out!
its in a yard behind a real home. lol
Same.
I’ve seen hundreds of container homes. This is the very best design for a single container. The roof is brilliant!
I agree. Makes outdoor space far more usable and adds touch of class to an otherwise industrial box.
Yes I agree. This is very brilliant
I love the idea of a "detached large roof" over tiny houses, containers or not. Protects the structure, can collect water or sun (then you can have less side useless windows)...
You could even have more storage above the container and below the roof too
what are side useless windows?
I like the side windows in case of fire, or just need out, but can't get to door.
I have been watching tiny home videos for years. This shipping container home has got to be the BEST TINY HOME I HAVE EVER SEEN that would fit all my needs. Good job.
Finally, a tiny house without a loft bedroom.
This isn't flashy, it's just pure design excellence. This is what I'd show someone if I was trying to convince them single container homes were viable.
This is by far the best tiny house I’ve seen. I would move in in a heartbeat.
The more I learn about shipping container homes, the more I'm convinced it's the lifestyle for me. I'd love to one day build a custom home, and by using shipping containers, I feel like this dream is a real possibility.
Agree...if you could be totally off grid with this, that would be the ideal scenario...
Great design and what a terrific way to use these old shipping containers!
This is THE best single container home I've seen! And, I've been following this movement for over a decade. I would love to own this one..
Love the openness and light. Just don’t like that if you need something in the bedroom and someone is on the toilet, it’s a no go.
The house is only big enough for two people...you can't walk through the bathroom while your husband is peeing? Or you can't wait two minutes? How often do you need something in a tiny bedroom while someone is in the bathroom.
@@StacyForest738 i don't like the position of the toilet bowl. thou i love the kitchen.
@@StacyForest738 you could definitely have guests in here, if someone is using the bathroom, someone else has to wait to go into the room, which i can understand would be a little odd
@@faeryfossil3472 Guests would have to wait to go into the only bedroom? They can't wait two minutes?
@@StacyForest738 not saying someone can’t wait, just that it’s a little weird to not have a door. I would feel a little uncomfortable using the bathroom in general as a guest there. No need to get all defensive
I am in the process of modifying my own container. It's 40' high cube. refrigerated unit completely insulated and all stainless steel inside.I have been in full conception of researching any and everything about this incredible adventure for the past 2 years. out of every video documentary .anything to do with containers or tiny houses. Your garden style container studio is hands down the best overall single high cube container house I have seen. your 25 years of being a craftsman truly shine in your prototype Thanks for sharing your project and your awesome vision of where you would like your humanitarian effort to flow with less resistance as your dream enables others to help themself s to set realistic goals of owning there own home some day giving another human the chance of experiencing pride in ownership. Keep up the authentic efforts of being part of the solution and not part of the problem . This crazy world were living in ,is lacking beyond compensation !! Yours Truly, Timothy Douglass.
This container home is awesome!!! I love the modern design and the exterior is beautiful. Congrats Adam👍👍👍
The best design I have seen so far for a single shipping container. I would love to live in this house.
Love the separate roof that extends to provide an overhang.. very smart design!
It is not my dreamhouse but if I live on a place with eartquake, I'm very happy with this house. Looks small but strong.
A happy and mellow Aussie :)
I had to remember this is located in Canada, whilst listening to an Aussie talking about the unit.
Particularly when he references Victoria. I was thinking great I can look at commissioning him thinking he meant Victoria, Australia.
HA! Victoria, BC, Canada. My hometown!
I think this is one of the most beautiful container home I have see . Fabulous build. Thanks for sharing this build!
My favorite feature is the porch with the large lumber and the short railing so it doesn’t close it off so much. That’s a great idea for an outdoor space that still has a great view
What a beautiful home. I could live in this home easy as it looks, feels and seems so comfortable. Great job 👍👏👍👏
Well done on a fabulous home and job

Hello Lisa
Beautiful & fully functional home!!! Loved this build.
If they stuck another one to it and increased the size it would be bigger than my house!!! I love this idea would definitely live in one
The height offsets the narrow width, and the light makes the home seem airy and pleasant.
One of the most beautiful container home I ever see!
Beautiful exterior color , love the wrap around porch and the roof is the best I have seen- makes so much sense to have the overhangs . Beautiful home
It's a beautiful tiny house, but I prefer the ones that show actual living in the space
I’m loving thissss ❤️.. I just wish and pray that they’ll allow container/ tiny house living where I live 😩
Love.......this beautiful home with a wonderful deck. It allowed you to be outdoors so much more giving BC gets lots of rain., well done, I can see this becoming very popular. BC Canada!!
So glad you were able to get municipalities clearance .
I love the outdoor design of the house! The layout inside is very efficient other than the 'compact' living-room space. I definitely would want a 20' container added to expand that space and give it a dining area too. Other than that, I love the position of the bathroom - it serves as an ensuite whilst also providing a separate toilet area for the rest of the home. What I did not see is ample bedroom wardrobe space!!! This house definitely needs more storage area...
You're proud of the kitchen? And ypu should be proud! That kitchen is amazing, makes perfect sense for the space but would fit anywhere
I loved the gentleman's presentation of this gorgeous tiny home. I would love to live in it. Most of the time in my large home I'm in my bedroom which also serves as my office. It's about the same amount of space as the foyer/living room in the container...what an incredible use of the space.
Love the full length balcony!
this could be my favorite shipping container tiny home ever. love it
Love the clean lines. It’s sad that I know this kind of dwelling would never be approved in my Chicago suburb.
I am surprised to hear it was the first one approved in Victoria. They have about 30 other refurbished shipping containers being converted now for homeless people too with shared bathroom and shower facilities won't be as fancy I'm sure but it's a viable solution to our housing crisis.
Try to get people motivated on the subject, to recruit and vote in council candidates who understand and promote them.
Imagine this house but with two containers attached side by side. It wouldn't be so narrow.
But, unfortunately you mess with the integrity of the containers. So you have to reinforce them in some way which is costly.
@@jc5604 Yeah, tons of welding. There's good examples though on YT.
Very nice tiny home with innovative floor design.
I would love to live there, really downsize & live simple
except for that "squeezed in" bed, i like the ideas and the setup. Well done 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Absolutely love it! That is my dream tiny house❤
GORGEOUS!! I love the reuse of shipping containers as homes. I hope shipping containers can be used by more and more by cities and municipalities to help with the housing crises, and most importantly, as a way to help houseless people and families with safe places to live, and as footing to financial wellbeing.
Those shipping containers use to transport toxic and hazardous waste and there is no national system to track the use of them cuz this country likes to play Russian roulette with blindfolds on...its apparently easier to pretend than it is to live with cancer lmfao..people put no thought into actual science or chemistry that affects their lives everyday...but hey be my guest and live in a box that transported radioactive waste if you want too..I work for a container company that 'Repurposes' containers and buddy if you only knew...lol buyer beware is all I'm saying people..there is always more to it than you realize and someone is profiting from your ignorance
The best storage in a tiny house. Beautiful design.
This is amazing. Congrats to them!
Great design. Looks really well executed. Would love to know the cost/price for it.
Nice! Thanks! More power and God Bless! 🙏
I love the large outdoor deck!
I love the color of that sofa. I need it in my life!
So 60's!
Elegant and Simple does the trick. ❤
Totally love the extended decks outside, and the roof! The interior is simply sweet and comfortable ^_^
I love the deck and layout! It looks great.
The best single 40’ one I’ve seen. Impressive. 💥
Amazing! Very well designed!
Thanks Danielle we love the design. We can see ourselves living there.❤
Hello Cathy
How refreshing to not have to climb a ladder to get to the bedroom. Nice job! Now, add a fireplace & a real stove/oven & you've got a deal!
Nicely done. I like the minimalist and clean aesthetic. Looked like quality materials too. For me, I would prefer more living space and less kitchen. Also, for such a large home, I felt like there was not enough storage. I also like how his concern for waste led him to pursue this type of building. Truly commendable.
Great repurposed elements in this Garden Home.
I so want to do this out the back of our property one day & rent out our family home. Ideas ideas love this option
I'm estatic to see someone who knows building science building shipping containers homes! I want to build one in the not too distant future and have already looked into finding a building science consultant for it but there are very few who have shipping container experience. Will definitely be reaching out to this company in the future! As someone who is still recovery from mold illness from a small home with hidden mold, I know first hand just how vital making sure your building a healthy home with a climate controlled environment is! So happy to see this on this channel.
When can I move in? Absolutely PERFECT! I'm very picky and particular, but this container home is amazing.. Love all the storage and washer and dryer. I love what you did!
Love this design. Very innovative. Great job.
This looks so beautiful. I would love to have a storage cointainer home in my back garden
I love every bit of it! So cool, so fresh so modern and practical.
That’s a great design.
Very clean and modern container home 👍
Excellent work for a beautiful home! I would be so proud of this build!
What a beautiful shipping container home! I love the peaked roof and wrap around covered porch. Is there room for storage in the ‘attic’ above the actual top of the storage unit? The placement of the windows yields lots of light into the home. Great job! 👍👏👍
Thumbs up from me! that is amazing!!
Love the wallpaper
Hello
Very nicely explained. Sturdy quality craftsmanship. Very nice 👍🏻
Very nice design. I think Frank Lloyd Wright would not dislike it.
This home is gorgeous!
It’s nice, I like how simple it is!
This is the nicest little hm I've ever seen, it is beatiful.
Very Nice! Great idea putting a roof over the container as well as the porch! Maybe it's the angle of the camera... but the roof looks shorter on one side than the other. I'd want it the same all the way around. And I think I'd have the lav against the cabinet and the toilet facing it/sideways so it's not sticking out in the walkway or visible from the living area.
You have done an amazing job, all the very best for your goal to create this type of sustainable building, great job
The roof is very appealing.
Amazing I love these type of House
Superb plan, Bravo indeed.
They did a beautiful job!
We really loved this build
Brilliant design I like the layout of the bathroom 👍
two of these together with a roof joining would be perfect for me and my son..
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this!
One more hanging wardrobe in the bedroom and this would be perfect. I love the design ❤️ !
Loves your channel.
Life should be this simple.
It’s so beautiful!
How long does it usually take to get the container approved by the county or state? And what was the total cost for the container and the finishes like HVAC, electrical, plumbing, kitchen counters, appliances etc. Do you and itemized list you can share?
One of the nicest setups I've seen.
Outstanding. Nice job.
This is Stunning!!!
Lovely job. I agree with the spray foam. Steel generates condensation with sheet foam.
Looks exemplary. Most impressed with the thinking that's gone into this and the process that's been developed to turn the 'dream' into reality. Thanks from New Zealand
Waauw beautiful design.
It's a beautiful house real lovely I love the layout
Very nicely done…well configured…storage galore. 👍🏻
So BEAUTIFUL 😍I LOVE it!!!
I think you could’ve use some of the area above the container between the roof as living living space. Then you can add your sleeping quarters up there and put the bathroom below
Congrats, it is so beautiful !
