This Super Low-Cost Shipping Container House is Like No Other!

Crafted for an unbelievably low budget from a 20ft shipping container and using reclaimed materials this is a shipping container home like no other.

Shipping Container Houses can often look cold and boxy. After all, it’s made from a cold metal box! This container home however, has been entirely clad both inside and out, with ceiling extensions and panoramic high windows that make the container look and feel much more like a tiny home while also being super insulted!

Owners Paul and Cathy have poured so much creativity into this home. Clever use of reclaimed or self-harvested materials have resulted in a wonderful, character filled house. From the rustic iron-bark counter tops, to the beautiful reclaimed timber doors, this tiny house is packed with exquisite craftsmanship.

This home is off the grid capable with a simple solar set-up and rainwater harvesting, although the house is currently hooked up to grid power. Surrounding the tiny house are lots of wicking garden beds, which creates wonderful gardens amongst the otherwise industrial surrounds, while also producing fruit and vegetables.

With Paul and Cathy doing all the labour themselves and thanks to some hard work in sourcing and reclaiming second hand materials, this amazing shipping container home was constructed for an unbelievably low cost.

Paul and Cathy have created a home that they can truly be proud of. There is so much art and character built into this house, it really is hard to believe it's actually built from a shipping container! The price also blows my mind! It's incredible what they have accomplished here. We hope you enjoy the tour! With Love, Bryce & Rasa

I admit having said before about a video that a tiny house was the best one I’ve ever seen, but I have to say it for this one. It’s a piece of art, and it must be amazing living in it. Thanks for sharing it!

I've pitched the idea of a container house to my partner several times and she always says she doesn't want to live surrounded by metal. I'll show her this video and I think she might just approve. Particularly since I too am a pastry chef turned wood worker. And Bryce. Your mane of hair is looking great. Fly it while you have it!

[DivyaJoan]

Paul's words, "even though it's a small space, it doesn't have to be a boring space" should be the motto for tiny houses. Very compact and functional space...
For the first time, I feel like this is doable for me...this is an amazing result for USD 13, 000. I can afford that.
Beautiful as usual...thank you, Bryce and Rasa.

[Ulbre]

This is absolutely one of the best yet.
That kitchen bench top....WOW.
But to be honest, what amazed me the most was something Paul said.
"I'm a pastry chef by trade".
He moved onto a life that was maybe the complete opposite to pastry chef. This is a testament to what we can all do and how our limits don't need to be set by what is assumed.
Very well done Paul & Cathy, you have achieved enlightenment and elevated your lives to the pinnacle it can be.

How soft and warm he's made the wood feel. You can see they're both really talented artists. The price is so staggeringly ridiculous, you almost feel like giggling. If you said 'this guy I know bought a rusted out container, put together some material he had lying around everywhere and built a house with it, I would never picture this place. They've made it a beautiful home both inside and out.

Easily in the top 5 of all the tiny houses you’ve visited! You can see all the love & thought they’ve put into every square inch! So inspiring!
Beautiful artwork Cathy!!

[SusanSlattery]

I love Cathy's art. How beautiful!

[jasmineb]

Just love when a container house don’t look like container house.. Paul is extremely handy wood workman. I love how he incorporate all his wood design in and around his home. Beautiful done Paul and Cathy. And being a on sugar farm, ha I wouldn’t be running out sugar no time soon. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for sharing ❤️❤️❤️

[mrknoch]

What a talent that fellow has with wood! Gorgeous.

[cindyritmeester]

Now this is a tiny house with soul! All the beautiful, natural materials and love that was put into it. Absolutely amazing.

[annsmith]

Beautiful home in every way! Wishing Paul and Cathy many years of joy in a wonderfully crafted tiny home!

[MizuSky]

OH MY GOD. THE SECOND I SAW THE THUMB NAIL I SCREAMED!!!

I'VE BEEN IN THIS TINY HOUSE!!! They had it at one of the tiny house expos! It was so unique and beautiful! While the stairs were kind of unnerving to stand on.
Ohh this makes me so excited & happy to see this! I love the planter boxes they have too, they had them on show, and I'm so excited to hear more about their story.

[AhmadullahTanha]

For the very first time Bryce seemed actually speechless and so was I throughout this whole video. The creativity and finishing touches are absolutely brilliant. You can only see that kind of creativity in multi million dollar mansions if I am being honest.

[edenhouse]

You know what comes across more than it being a tiny house is because they have made it themselves there is a brilliant story with every aspect of the home from the worktops to the stairs and the lights...just a beautiful home thankyou for letting us see it guys xx

[TWROC]

Absolutely beautiful home. Paul is a great combination of craftsman and artist with all the gorgeous woodwork and the way he raised the roof of the container- love the cozy sleeping loft with the fantastic views. And Cathy's painting is stunning. These two artists have really created a beautiful environment for themselves.

[janetclaireSays]

$20, 000?! Amazing! This home is so lovely, it's a work of art and with the surrounding deck and landscaping it's like a resort. I love the woodwork and I love the painting above the sofa too! A very talented couple!

[stangumula]

The wood on this home is priceless and it blends with the outside grey and the inside white just marvelously. The fully glass enclosed top is a marvel. Kudos to all the creativity involved here.

[sami]

I loved this episode.. cause he dived so deep into each process that made the whole experience more personalised.. and not it must be mentioned ...spectacular woodwork

[linshannon]

One of my favorite builds of the year! My dad used to say that it didn't matter how long the journey as long as the destination was worth it; in this case, the destination is absolutely worth it.
