Repurposed Dumpster Houses

This Portable Home Once Contained Garbage

This dumpster container was transformed from a place that housed garbage to a portable home. The cleaned out living space uses the area wisely to make up for the limited amount of square footage.

This living situation is far from ideal. It's difficult to imagine the smell would ever completely fade. Not only is there a limited amount of space horizontally, but head space would be significantly lacking as well. It would also prove difficult to entertain within. It wouldn't appear to hold up well under extreme weather conditions either.

However, the high level of mobility for this portable home allows the inhabitant to travel around the Brooklyn neighborhood. It also allows for increased creativity when it comes to interior decorating.
