How a high cube shipping container can become a functional living space.

Shipping container homes are a popular alternative living solution. This simple floor plan requires minimal modifications to the structure of the shipping container. Shipping containers can also be placed on compacted gravel rather than a traditional stem wall with footings. Site planning and roof design are important to ensure proper drainage. The first shipping container home on record was designed and built by a man named Phillip Clark in 1987. He applied and was awarded a patent for the “method for converting one or more steel shipping containers into a habitable building”. Check out the original patent!
