Here’s another fantastically clever Canadian invention! The BARK All Terrain Cabins (ATC) are made out of old ISO shipping containers and can comfortably fit up to four people. The ATCs would be a simple addition to that gorgeous property you just bought for that beautiful lakeside property or second home up in the mountains. BARK says they’re “raising the profile of Canadian design,” and I couldn’t agree more.

Based out of Vancouver, this BC company combines the creative minds of designers and the businesses committed to “raising the profile of Canadian design and ingenuity internationally,” the site says. “We thought people all over the world should have a chance to see what Canadians get up to when they turn their heads to design, technology, and other imaginative pursuits.”

“It travels by train, truck, ship, airplane or helicopter, folded up and indistinguishable from any ordinary shipping container. Once it arrives, it unfolds rapidly to 480sf of self-contained, sophisticated living space with all the comforts of home.”

This is Canadian Cultural currency on the road, travelling the world for the next four years. Its main purpose is to raise awareness internationally of Canadian capabilities, not just for Canada’s sake, but for the sake of those who want to learn from us about how to live softly, smartly, and stylishly on this shared planet.

Could you squeeze in a few more "Canada"s or "Canadian"s please?

We should be using these on brownfield sites in the UK, much better than an IKEA house.

I love the fact that these Canadians are putting those old shipping containers to a new good use! As per the living soflty part...These big old sturdy containers are gonna leave their mark wherever you put them, so...how exactly would this be considered soft living? I mean, if I spent say, a month living on somebody's backyard, in one of these containers, I image all the grass and creatures under it would die. Additionally, and unless they are just stationed, it's probably pricey to transport these to different locations. The containers probably weight like tons and require quite a bit of fuel for travelling. Again, I love the idea of the reuse, but don't get the living softly part...maybe I'm missing something :-P
