A converted container house in Brighton, Colorado built by Walker Wilderness Enterprises.
Wilderness Container House
It used to house goods in route to their destination, now it houses people.

The finishes are pretty – great floors & lighting.
At first I just so totally didn’t get that long hallway – when space is at such a premium halls are such a waste.
After searching for the front door and realizing that it’s opposite an entry-way bench/coat rack this floor plan began to make lots better sense.
What are the dimensions of the container? For me I’d cut the 2nd bedroom & go with a 1/bed full bath at the opposite ends, with a real kitchen (where is the fridge in this model? What about a range?) and a living room that can support more than a bench.
Love the barn door on the bath – but why don’t the bedrooms also have such doors?
I really like the idea of recycling these containers – Can the roof actually support a snow load? Flat roofs are often eschewed because they will invariably leak.
Thanks for sharing this innovative project, it’s given me a lot to think about.
There’s a lot to like about this idea/plan. However, my main complaint with containers as houses is that the exteriors are so darn ugly.
am interested could you send me more info

like the site–but dont like how everything never has a price or the cost to the owner on what the expenses were to make into a home! Container homes are a thought compared to TH….flat roof is a concern with Cincinnati weather being so unpredictable……I want the normal appliances with exception of dishwasher–I dont see appliances here…..I like the 2 bedroom idea for company. And what would be zone restrictions on living in something like this?? Seems to be the problem wanting to own a TH on top of the cost of land and finding a place to legally put……
I like it. Very clean and surprisingly bright. I recommend elbow pads when using the shower.
Nice finishes, but what a waste of sooooooo much space! Plenty of hallway, but no actual living space? That’s not even a kitchen, just a counter with a sink in it. Where would you even consider putting appliances? Is that corner bench supposed to be the “living room”? If this is just a drop you stuff for the night/hotel room it would be one thing, but if it is intended for actually living, there is nowhere to do so.
