A shipping container home is exactly what it sounds like. It is a house made from steel containers that are used to carry goods around the world. Shipping containers can be either brand new or used. You can create any style of building such as a home or office. This modern form of architecture is a cheaper alternative when building a home. It is typically about half the price of traditional construction techniques. Now, you may think that this cheaper construction is less attractive than the conventional one. Will Breaux will change your mind and show that these homes can be classy and stylish.

Breaux’s 2,500 square foot shipping container home is located on McGowen Street in Houston. His eye-catching home is constructed with 11 shipping containers which are stacked on top of each other to create a three-story house. There is even a rooftop deck. From the outside, it may look like a towering pile of steel containers. Once you step inside, the luxurious interior will amaze you.

Breaux has been planning to build his dream house since 2000. Back then, he hired a group of home designers to create his three-story abode. However, the designers and Breaux failed to agree on how the house should be built on the lot. So, he had no choice but to fire the group after months without progression. In 2011, Breaux finally decided to design and build his dream house himself.

A shipping container house was the first thing that popped into his mind. Due to shipping container architecture growing in popularity due to its low cost, inherent strength, weather resistance and wide availability. Breaux started by creating a 3D sketch of the three-story house complete with a rooftop deck. Since he is not a professional builder, he spent many hours learning how to construct a shipping container home. As he began the construction, he also documented the development of his house project through his blog. After years of building he finally completed his impressive home.
