The Repère Boréal Shiship Cabin is a well-designed living space situated in Quebec, Canada built with a repurposed shipping container to give it an industrial, modern feel. The cabin, surrounded by forestry, exposes its metal body on the exterior with additional wooden cladding, which is also observed on the interior for a warm feel. The open-concept cabin boasts an expansive kitchen space for preparing meals along with well-sized bedroom and fully equipped bathroom for completely comfortable living.
The Repère Boréal Shiship Cabin is available for rent for up to two adults and gets its name for the Innu word for duck. The cabin boasts expansive views from the bedroom thanks to a floor-to-ceiling window, while a desk in the bedroom allows for comfortable working.
