Tiny houses are popping up all over the country as an alternative, affordable, and more sustainable way for Americans to live. All you need is a structure and a plot of land!
Increasingly, many people are using new or recycled shipping containers as a base for constructing the perfect tiny house. That might be part of the reason why the container market is projected to grow by another 5.3% between 2014 and 2017.
While shipping containers are a well known and trusted solution for all kinds of transportation needs — 90% of the world’s trade is conducted through shipping — not everyone is as into the industrial-chic look when it comes to the aesthetics of their living space.
That’s why we’re excited to announce one of our latest projects, a shipping container completely modeled to look and feel just like a log cabin. Its rustic aesthetic with ample windows and wood flooring is sure to convince any “tiny house” seeker that simple living can be fashionable as well.
At any given moment, there are roughly 20 million shipping containers crossing the globe for transportation, but with our log cabins we aim to give containers a more permanent place, too.
There’s room and flexibility enough with our design space to allow you the creativity to organize a sustainable, small-footprint living space. At 20 feet long, it easily fits a regular-size bed for sleeping. And with sliding glass doors, you can have direct and unfettered access to the world outside, wherever you choose to settle down.
When it comes to blending in naturally to your chosen landscape, this log cabin is far more aesthetically pleasing and less visually intrusive than a plain recycled shipping container. All of the original ideas and benefits of a regular shipping container house are in tact, but the added perks of a safe and solid interior finish simply can’t be matched.
One of the greatest virtues of small space living is the concept of simplicity. We aim to help tiny house builders get back to nature in an organic way with a log cabin-style shipping container. It may be tiny in stature, but you’ll definitely be making a big statement.
