This is the KAN shipping container tiny home by Kyle Kozak.
It’s a modular shipping container home that can be built and shipped almost anywhere.
From the outside, you’ll notice the classic container look along with a rooftop deck with railings for security that you can use as outdoor space to enjoy the scenery and relax.
When you go inside, you’ll find a one-level floor plan with a desk, bed, kitchenette, bathroom, and plenty of shelving for storage. Please enjoy, learn more, and re-share below. Thank you!

I love these, they look open with the windows and bigger inside. This one looks modern. I could live in one of these.

I have owned a few of these ‘cans’ for several decades & use them for storage. They get extremely hot in the summer & you would really have to address the insulation from the outside (insulated cladding) as well as the inside IMO. That said, I have often thought these could be made into reasonable dwellings & indeed there are a lot of examples out there for this. If I was building one, I’d build a roof over the top with a header on each side so as to make expansion somewhat easier & for insulation purposes. I’d love to hear some input from someone actually using on of these to live in.
Hey! You are exactly right in that they can get very hot in the summer. We suggest that they get located in a shadier area. In the construction details you would be able to see that there is a additional roof built on top of the container itself which prevents exposure on the living area to direct sunlight. We have a customized construction details which uses breathable membranes as well as provide adequate fresh air from the interior which provides a comfortable indoor environment. For more construction details or questions inquire at http://www.the-kan.com or email [email protected] for more details!
Thanks for the input Kyle. I had been to the Kan website but I didn’t see any construction details other than the basic list of features. Any real pictures coming any time soon?
Where is the cooking done? Is the privy outside?
Privy is to the left of the entry, see the small window on the exterior. I didn’t see any type of cooking apparatus or refrigeration so not sure on that one. Hidden?
This is a lovely home. With the right insulation (which I’m sure it has), it makes a simple and stylish dwelling.
Regarding the insulation, I’m not sure what you refer to as the right insulation or how you know it has it, but this is what I found on their website.
The interior walls feature polyiso-2″ for an R-10 value attached to the inner wall. Then they use foil faced insulation between the studs for another R 2.5, so a total of R 12.5 for the walls. No insulation at all is listed for the floors. They say they use 2 layers of insulation on the roof but do not give specifics regarding R values. They do state they use reflective materials so I would assume there is very little R value in the roof, mainly radiant reflection. Also, the price is $60,000 CAD which converts to over $45,000 USD. Price does not include PV solar electric, thermal hot water, water collection system, exterior decking, transportation, foundation, or setup. There is no fridge & no stove or cooktop included either.
For an 8’x20′ unit this seems very expensive to me. You can get a 1 trip can (what they are using) for under 4K in my parts. Prices would probably be dependent on your proximity to a port, I’m in Florida.
When I bought mine, I hauled them on a flatbed dump & set them in place with the help of a skid steer loader. They are very beefy & weigh about 5k empty.
I wonder why there are only computer made images here?
The reason there are only computer renderings is because prototype manufacturing is slated for August 2016.
Thanks Eric. The renderings are nice. Are you connected with the project?
Looks like something that will work for me. I am having to go thru a housing situation. A tiny home … A container seems a gr8 option right now. Let’s stay in touch during my year of redirecting myself. TY

Always a fan of rooftop decks. Nice window and door arrangement but I’d have a daybed of some sort to provide comfy daytime seating rather than having a big bed always out.
I would like to know how much this would cost ? In Atlanta ga area . Thx
Too expensive, seems to me cost defeats the purpose.
