This shipping container home build is the work of Jaimie and Dave of That Tiny Life Love and is a well-designed example of how a tiny home can be thoughtfully created to maximize functionality. The home was built by the couple over the course of 10 months at cost of around $80,000, and consists of a 40 foot shipping container as the base and a 20 foot one on the top.
The interior of the home is well-appointed with everything necessary for comfortable everyday living, while the surrounding property offers the Washington-based couple more space to spread out. The shipping container home build allows the couple to live mortgage-free and maximize the time they can spend enjoying hobbies.
