Luxury container home tree house w/ crazy 40 ft cantilever

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- Steve and Nancy, along with their family and friends, designed and built one of the most creative container homes in the world! Using four containers total, they have two standing vertically to create the stairwell, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Then the final two containers which house the kitchen, living room, and hot tub area (yes, you read that correctly) are horizontally cantilevered out & supported by a tree! To top it all off, they created a two-story rooftop deck.
This container home is a labor of love and the brainchild of a father/son engineering team. The family uses the home as a vacation getaway and as an Airbnb (so you can rent it)! Booking info is below.

12:08 Cost to build & reason for building this container home - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This man is as sweet as he is talented. His devotion to his brother-n-law, nature, animals and family..what a gem.
Totally agree😉
getting choked up as he was getting choked up talking about him
Agreed. In this social media age, it feels harder and harder to find people who are in touch with just being human, and understanding the humanity in others. We're all so caught up in hating one another for our every difference that we lose sight of what's more important than taking sides─that we're ultimately all in this together. And if we don't start acting like it, well, what's going on in Europe with Russia and Ukraine is a prime example. Power, money, ego.. all comparatively unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
Saw this in Fallout 4!
It’s unique . Part of me wants to go but my fear of heights kicked in. Watching him walk up those steps for the roof top place made my heart race.
Kindred spirit, it's the same for me. Love everything except the heights and stairs.
I am with you there. 😂
I'm with you on that one!!!! I made myself look but my stomach was dropping!
Exactly I felt that on a different level
And then because the stairs are kind of rusted rust breaks
Man, I could really feel the love he has for his brother. What a sweet sentiment to do in his memorial.
Just one word: MAGNIFICENT 👍🙏👍🙏👍
My condolences to this man and his family, about his brother. 👍❤️👍
Thank you for shearing 🦋🦋🦋
A real man, love how you still care about your brother. I can see it in your eyes. God bless you both as you shall meet again on the other side.
Hotty Toddy Rebel engineer here, but the skill, and love for family living and passed shown by this man makes me respect A&M even more. Great video!
Keith, I really appreciate it. I am the owner, engineer, and builder.
This is sooo freaking cool. Im mind blown at what ppl can create with their imagination. Great job
Me too I'm a paraplegic would love to live in a metal box I have few detail models I would create
Tiny homes used about saving money and living a minimalistic lifestyle but I’m convinced that it’s now a lifestyle. Some builds costs more than a conventional homes in the area they’re built in. I still love them though. Haha!
Only thing better than the treehouse are the owners! Sweetest people you’ll ever meet and so thankful to call them friends. Definitely a place you have to check out, super awesome.😊
Abby you are very sweet AND the best baker in these them parts of Texas.
I never comment on vids but this is Absolutely THE COOLEST BUILD I’ve ever seen. The recycled materials are gorgeous! The best part by far though is getting to live with the wild life! Doesn’t get any better than that! Just absolutely gorgeous! What an honorable dedicated way to show respect to your family member. Definitely a slice of heaven you’ve got here!
Debra, thank you so much for your feedback. It was a lot of work and we are so happy with the feedback from our guests and to hear about their experiences and how built some memories asa family.
I was wondering how he kept the feeders full.
Great tribute and amazing house. Gives me some ideas
Thank you Justin. Great question and observation. I have a boom lift that I drive over to fill the feeders a couple times a week. I bought the boom for construction and kept it for on going maintenance and even window washing.
Based on how it looked outside, I was shocked to see the inside, but he'll never be robbed. 😀
ok, I could not resist this. When you were showing off the top bedroom and mentioned the stars at night - all my brain could think of until I typed this out is "Are the stars at night, big & bright? because you are deep in the heart of Texas?"
I sure missed an opportunity to make that statement when filming. I may get that in a future video!!!
This is Beautiful. .. Definitely love that it's all about nature 🕊❣
Thats a beautiful house... I like all the climbing up the stairs. I'd probably never come off the roof.
I've seen alot of container houses, but I think this is the coolest.
They had me sold with "Extensive Coffee Bar"; the lookout is just the perfect place to sip coffee and protect the castle!
Unique, beautiful, stunning, amazing, fantastic wowwwwww what a building, what a wonderful home 🏠👀
Lisa UK xxxx
soooooooo well done , all that welding just amazing , that will deff be standing for a thousand yrs
It's fantastic... and I love everything except the heights, and stairs. Those things I stay away from.
This is hands down one of the most amazing builds I've ever seen. Meanwhile I cant even buuld this on the Sims LOL. I'm envious of people who have the time, resources, and know-how to do things like this. Its made even better by the fact its built and owned by a nature and family loving gentlemen.
Damon, I so appreciate your comments and support. That is funny about your challenges in Sims. I would love to see it modeled.
This is a very beautiful home.
It really touched me when he said he lost his brother...sending much love and blessings to you all ❤
What a beautiful idea an what a beautiful place!! ✌🏼🧡😊❣️
I honor your brother in law.. We were saved by fireman.. we had a fire Feb 28 2020.we are still homeless in a motel but not hopeless... An grateful to be alive because of selfless fireman... I'm grateful for your story your home an your families kindness!! ✌🏼🧡😊❣️
Donna, thank you for your kind words and our prayers are with your family as I know you will fully recover and you will be stronger than ever.
Okay, hear me out. You need a slide. Like maybe a spiral slide, the kids would love it :D and since it's Texas and it gets so hot hook up a water hose so it's a water slide! Haha also would love to see pictures of this during the summer when the trees have leaves. :)
Dude. This is the best idea ever. Buy legit water slides for safety and have a steep speed one and then an enclosed translucent turning one. That would be the best.
He walked up those staircases so unbothered.😬😳😱
Take a shot for each time he uses the word “immersive” lol. Beautiful and unique design
This is unbelievable. Just being able to walk out on any one of 6 balconies and be right in the trees with the birds is the best part.
It shows having a very well paying career will get you this sooner than later. Good luck to all who are looking into living off the grid.
😍 🏡 so radically cool and cozy looking!
That was an amazing home. I'm so sorry for his loss!
this is fabulous... I could live here, nature, peace and quiet and the tranquillity. This guy's talents are overwhelming; his ethos and heart is something we should all stive to like, bless you xx
Great job on the build ......I really really like it !!
A beautiful home. May your brother Don rest in peace, and may God bless his memory...
My FIRST thought w/the container in the tree was, I hope they used lightening rods, lol & he added that in his commentary during the tour! This is wicked cool, great location, so we'll thought out, beautifully decorated & beautiful views! Would love to make this trip to stay there! (They really need to coat the spiral staircases to slow down rusting!)
It is very unique and interesting. Lots of ups and downs and bedrooms scattered about. My only complaint is that there needs to be more than only one bathroom. One shower ok but potty facilities on each level would be needed for my family.
ll l
In America we have one car per family member & one shower per woman because they take HOURS washing & drying their hair!! Lol. But seriously, they take forever with their hair & their woman parts. 😂
Ya DDS
Bathroom on every floor? That's ridiculous and would take up too much space,
I grew up in a large family (read "more than 7 people), with only one bathroom - it was hectic sometimes; but, it was definitely "sufficient". If you're not more than 3 or 5 people (including the kids), I would not consider having more than one bathroom a "necessity". "Potty facilities on each level..." sounds like you need to teach your family some exercise ethic, as well as tone down the "spoiling".
A cherry picker to fill the bird feeders! 😂❤️
If it was possible I think they would’ve had a stairway to heaven, leads to their most exclusive meditation room.
This is the most beautiful tree house i've ever seen.
The inside is just so beautifully unique. Love it, but I have a fear of heights.
Wow, loved their ingenuity!! The only thing that would take this over the top is putting a King-Kong hanging off the railing!! A great place!
The insurance appraiser was scratching his head on this one, until he realized it’s more indestructible than any common home build. Great job! I love to escape to different levels and areas in any home. 6 balconies is awesome.
Thank you Greg. As the owner, engineer, and builder, I just hate the many reactions from those with no technical background that says it will fall down in light wind. I have been in the treehouse with 60 mph winds and it hardly moves. Very happy with the results.
@@stevetaylor7407 I was wondering about earthquakes. Does your build factor those in?
We are in north Texas and in this area we do not have measurable earthquakes
Wow...very unique! It's amazing what beautiful architecture&innovation can come about when people have a vision!! 🖒🖒💕
Very beautiful and creative space. This is a lovely place to vacation. It’s to high up in the air for me but it’s a great place.
This is definitely different and unique. Thanks Jenna ❤
I love the fact that you can stand up in the bedroom. I wish we can have the identical bedroom on the other end of the house. Overall, I love this tiny house. It's very cute.
I love how they reuse old wood and such.
Absolutely stunning build what a great guy!!!! Rip to your brother❤️❤️🧡💛💚💜
If they would have powder coated the exposed metal, like the staircase and metal supports, would that have stopped the build-up of surface rust for a cleaner look?
Absolutely fantastic tree house and beautiful logo.
That is really cool thanks for sharing from Scotland
I suppose this family aren't scared of heights. An interesting and ambitious build with the fun of a tree house. Simply Awesome!
Wow. Holy mackerel, Andy - that was absolutely fascinating! Thanks for that amazing tour, Jenna!
What a great idea! I hope there's a follow-up in the summer when the view is different.
I like the dining table through the kitchen design, impressive! Same goes for the bathroom.
Wow! What an interesting build! Of course, being from CA I kept thinking about earthquakes. Not likely to happen there. Loved how they have gotten to know and name some of the critters who hang out. I would love to visit!
Thank you Nancy. We are in the animals space in the treehouse. We know them so well that they have named us also thinking that we are actually on exhibit behind the glass. We designed it for heavy winds but luckily no need to account for earthquakes in this part of the country.
@@stevetaylor7407 Hi Steve, I love your home and thanks for sharing it with all of us. Lol, being from Oklahoma, I was just wondering about tornadoes and your answer explained it perfectly.🙂
This is really unique and awesome. Must've taken so long to build and a lot of sweat and tears. If I ever make it to Texas I'd love to come see it.
Awesome home and you Sir are a gentleman and caring soul... blessings to you and your family!!
Astonishingly beautiful
This residence is so unique and amazing but as soon as I really looked at the house😳. I KNEW it was super expensive. So when he said it was hundreds of thousands of dollars I absolutely believed him. It was his dream to build a super unique castle house for his family and himself. If I was a man of means ….like I’m sure he is. I would do the same thing he did
Thank you Christian. I wanted to build a unique treehouse as a business on Airbnb. We are very happy with the results and our guests love it. We are already planning to build 3 more unique treehouses…but no more out of steel. Wait and see.
Whoa! This is great! It's especially nice because of the dream come true, and the personal connections from the family in the build! I did have vertigo on the crows nest, even though I am watching on screen! I'd be willing to make that climb everyday which would still the vertigo. Wonderful home!!!
Also, your intro to today's post has me saying - when!!! Good job!
The outside looks like borderlands, but the inside is very neat and cozy. Well done - i love the child like creativeness.
Your ingenuity is beyond anything I've ever seen. Thankyou for thinking about the firefighters.
Very creative in standing up the containers to create a stairwell
The best part about it is... They're AGGIES! Gig'em!
Wow your home is beautiful thank you for inviting us in to share.
God bless you and your beautiful family and keep you safe,
😍🙏👏👏
This is a really cool container house! He did a phenomenal job making it super comfortable with all your creature comforts while being a very unique house. 👌🏻😎
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I think this may be one of the coolest, most amazing homes I've ever seen!
I love this. No HOA telling you what to do .
😂 You know you're debt-free when you're able to say "Cost was not a factor we just wanted to experience"😉
That part! 👊🏽
Its good to be rich.
This is extremely cool and unique!
That said, I wish people would stop glorifying shipping containers. For those who don’t know better they could waste a ton of money trying to copy what they see…
From an economical and engineering view they don’t save you anything or have any real benefits over standard construction and in most cases standard construction is easier and more efficient.
One you cut into a container you ruin the structural integrity, meaning you have to frame it anyway, then you have to add support and flooring and insulation and then line it which shrinks the living space a ton.. by the time you do all of that you just bought a container to act as the siding and roof material, which is super inefficient for temperature and energy saving.
If you’re cutting massive holes for doors and windows, welding them together, framing the whole thing for structural integrity and drywall… just start with a basic frame then! It saves time and money, it gives you more options and versatility and the final product will be more energy efficient and easier to build.
But then you’d lose the hipster style I guess.
Shipping containers like many things have lost the original intent. The idea of living in containers wasn’t mean for everyone who wanted a tiny home, it was supposed to be an idea to help people who had thousands of containers sitting around and very limited building materials. It was meant to solve an actual issue in 3rd world countries where a container home actually makes sense and provides a decent base for people who can’t afford normal construction costs.
In the west and in more affluent countries we aren’t using free and salvaged containers, people are buying them and most of the time you HAVE to buy NEW because the law prohibits selling most containers used, because you have no way of knowing what chemicals, animals, or whatever else was potentially shipped in them. The cost of buying containers is basically the same as just building from scratch anyway and just using normal efficient siding.
I’m not saying I hate containers or that they have no use, it’s just that people always have to take a fad or idea way too far.
Stuff like this is cool, but he said there was no way to build it without containers which just isn’t true. It was probably more difficult using containers because you have a built in constraints and limitations.
This is cool, I just think the containers were unnecessary.
Liked the story of Ladonia Air Castle and especially the Fire Dept Memorial. You are inspirational - Thank you for sharing this. So amazing - you are!
what a home,well done sir a credit to all who designed and built this stunning home.
Such a humble man I love his style it looks like he put in alot of scary work being up high is dramatic to me But beautiful home .He put alot of love and sweat 😅and deatailed work into his home
Jenna…you have amazing knowledge and passion for your videos. It’s amazing to see.
Yes ...this was definitely unique ...
thank you
💕🙏🏾
So much talent and thought put into this wonderful home . With all those stairs I would be nice and slim that’s a plus . Great job and am sure his brother in law is proud of him.
Very unique and cool. Definitely a place to chill. A little remote but that's great for some I bet.
Wow that Cardinal was beautiful ♥️
Wow. I can't use certain descriptive words, how ever I'm sure many can figure out my thoughts on the spectacular place. It's absolutely add word cool. I love the name to. AIR CASTLE. Definitely fits this unit. It's also very artistic as well. Well thought process. The space in each room is comfy and you dint feel crammed or cramped. Can you imagine watching the perseids meteor shower in August, or any other meteor shower staying at this place. I bet it's just gorgeous. Due to the size I you have kids parents cam escape them when the need time away, but still can hear them. Lol we all know many parents need atleast 30 minute time out from teenagers and preteens. Lol what a beautiful place to bring a family friends or just by yourself or a couple on a honeymoon. Out in the woods away from every one and noise, if you live in the city or nosey town. THE PLACE LOOKS SO PEACEFUL. TO SIT ON TOP SIDE DECK OR THE CROWS NEST AND WATCH THE SUN RISE AND SUN SET MUST BE SPECTACULAR AND AGAIN PEACEFUL. For those who are scared of heights like myself just don't look down. Scared or not I would enjoy the tranquil that this place offers. I also would leave some money for fireman fund. That is super important. If we don't have firemen, women and equipment many would lose homes businesses, kitty cats, birds, wild life,( I watched a show called lone star law. All about fish and game. They had a fire department help a red tail hawk a baby. It was put back in the nest) any way we need the fire department as well as the EMTs. Thank you for sharing this lovely place. I really want to visit this place.
Lisa, your words are so encouraging. You describe the treehouse as if you had spent a week with us. So happy you were able to see the love we put into it. Please come visit.
Wow! I really love this!🥰
Beautiful unique
I never thought of myself being afraid of heights, but idk, I surely would be going to the top
I will definitely be looking into booking this. This is one of the coolest houses I’ve ever seen!
Love the new intro music!!!
OUTSTANDING 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What an amazing shipping container building! I love all the cool things you have put into this build. Very creative. I would love to come down to TX to see it some time! 👍♥️
WOW unbelievable ! My favorite tour thus far.
Really beautiful, the wood types used, the various textures, floor levels, cozy bedrooms and views just totally love it! ✨👌🙏
This is amazing! Love everything about it. Love the answer to how much it costs: "We're still tallying that" LOL
This build is amazing!!!
WOW, they do do it BIG in Texas. But would thought it would have a least one more bedroom. That hot tub is something else. Wild imagination to build this. Love being in nature, and this is it. Great job Dude...👍
I have built a few structures from sea containers including multi-story but this home is on another level (pun intended) Thanks for showing us your beautiful project. Grandkids will need a zip line. 😀
This is excellent! I want to see more
This is so beautiful & creative.
Its so cool. A NYC roof water tank would be a perfect top off.
What an amazing job you all did! Very impressive. Does your part of Texas get much tornado action? Condolences on the loss of your brother.
Love everything about this one
This house is SUPERB! The decor is spot on! The attention to detail and safety in mind, using alternating colors for the steps is genius. And he can use a crane to fill the bird feeders. He could use that crane to hang Christmas tree ornaments. I am wondering if container homes are not a bit like faraday cages? At least he has a lighting rod.
I would suggest painting the spiral staircase, to protect it from the rust. This house is one in a million!!
Nice setup, a lot of ideas and thought has put into this project. Good layout!
