This is a 160 sq. ft. shipping container tiny house by Katz Box out of Columbus, Ohio. This model is called The Calico.

The Calico Home is designed to grow. Built as an efficiency unit, this 160 square foot home was created to inspire a new generation of homeowners to think small (and in stages). Due to its stature and mobile features, the home is designed to scale from one to three units based on the owners needs.

This is the new Vista C Shipping Container Tiny House from ESCAPE.

It’s built using a standard ISO 20ft shipping container so it can be shipped anywhere or it can be attached to a special trailer made just for it so that it can be towed on the road.

Since shipping containers can qualify as permanent buildings in some areas, this could work as an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) or as another sort of permanent dwelling on your land.

You can also get optional closing doors for the Vista C so you can lock it up for maximum security. Other options include fold-down deck, rooftop deck, extra storage, larger kitchen, solar, etc.
