From the outside, you probably won’t think much about them. But when the home owners (yeah, you read it right) open the doors, what you will see inside are incredibly beautiful, stylishly clean interiors, huge glass windows, and other modern amenities.
These fantastic living spaces are made from recycled shipping containers. If you love this idea, you can buy one for around $2,000. Then start building your own epic home.
There are also companies that can help you build one at a certain amount, depending on the complexity (or simplicity) of the design, size, and modern facilities you want included in your home. Some cost as much as $40,000 or even more.
Here are some of the best shipping container homes you’ll ever find:
