Backcountry Containers has just designed the new Augustine tiny home, which is a versatile and unique structure. It is constructed using a metal box and the compact home is great for rural living or as a hunting space. The design is packed with a flexible bedroom and garage area that can be used to house people or even cars comfortably.
It is based on the top of a shopping container which has been painted in a uniform dark grey, otherwise known as 'Iron Ore.' The Augustine home is complete with window glazing, insulation, and a front door. In terms of the interiors, it is finished with pine wools and vinyl flooring rounded out by a shiplap ceiling.
