If you’re like me you don’t just like tiny houses. I happen to like all sorts of unique shelters in all kinds of shapes and sizes, like shipping containers, yurts, cabins, motorhomes, and more.
But usually for me the smaller the better because I like efficiency and the idea of not going beyond our needs too much. So in this post, I’m going to show you an example of what can be done with a couple of recycled shipping containers.
In this case, the two containers were used to create and build a beautiful and eco-friendly small home nestled in the trees. To explore more amazing small homes like this, join our Small House Newsletter. It’s free and you’ll be glad you did!

To me, there’s so much to like about this house. I like the modern look and feel combined with a sort of rustic reclaimed vibe that it has.
The color white, for me, always works well. And I really like how you can still open up the container doors to bring the outside in. Especially in good weather.
I also like the exposed beams and I love the structure they built to combine the two containers and make the entire thing one awesome home.
