Family builds tiny cottage and workshop using shipping containers in Australia

on August 11, 2010

I ran into a video that features a converted shipping container cottage and workshop in Australia. They started the conversion in 2006.

One container serves as a workshop and the other as living space, or as they call it… a weekend cottage. They have added several features including a covered front porch, rainwater collection system using a plastic barrel, fireplace, beautiful doors with windows, a garden, and much more.

Watch the video right here, I think you may enjoy it and learn a thing or two maybe 🙂
