I thought you, like me, would also enjoy this 387 sq. ft. (36 sqm) modern stacked shipping container.
Designed by Tomokazu Hayakawa Architects in Torigoe, Taitō, Tokyo, Japan. Engineering was done by Ejiri Structural Engineers and construction by C3 design.
Although this is not a tiny home or even a small home it’s actually designed to be a small office and gallery in this old downtown area. Either way I thought it was so cool that I should share it with you.

Don’t you think a similar design would be great for a small modern off grid cabin in the woods or the mountains? I’d absolutely love to convert this container set up into a modern cabin for simple living. Let me know if you agree in the comments below.
