This is a 160-square-foot container home in Blue Ridge, Georgia that’s perfectly situated among the trees. One of the coolest features of the cabin is a giant rooftop deck that extends out from the edges of the container to act as a roof for the lower wrap-around deck. It’s down there that you’ll find a hot tub and rocking chairs with a view.
Inside the container, there’s a studio-style set-up with a queen-sized bed in the middle. A kitchenette on the left has a two-burner cooktop, mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. To the right of the bed, there’s a bathroom with a residential toilet and shower stall. What do you think of this shipping container cabin?

Mati and Luli moved to New Zealand about seven years ago, where a stay in a cozy treehouse unexpectedly shifted their entire outlook on space, simplicity, and what it means to live well. Realizing they needed far less than they ever imagined, they were inspired to build their own tiny house from the trailer up—using mostly reclaimed materials—and spending just around $18,000 USD to bring it to life.
We had the pleasure of interviewing the couple, and below you’ll find their full story, a tour of their beautiful tiny home, and a look at the school bus they later converted into a charming small apartment. Enjoy!

Chay and his brother Colby set out to build a truck camper they could actually afford — and they gave themselves three non-negotiables: it had to cost under $1K, it had to sleep both of them in bunks, and it needed to lift completely off the truck so the vehicle could still be used normally.
Ten days, plenty of grit, and some creative problem-solving later, they pulled it off. Their dad jumped in on the final day to help with drywall and finishing touches, and together they managed to meet their deadline and stay under budget. The transformation is impressive — and you can watch the full build below.
