Very well thought out and nicely done. Great view of the river is the icing on the cake.
Wow! I can’t imagine beig able to live along a river. It would be so cool! I love this place with it’s simple, efficient design, and there is even a way to cook outside. I would probably sit by that river all day just taking it in. This is lovely!
I never gave much thought to living in a shipping container but this one is very doable for one person. Just need to add some storage. Back to basics is all we really need. (:>))
