Tour of a 1,280 square foot modern prefab shipping container cottage built with 4 x 40-foot used shipping containers. Built all on one level, this modular bungalow has an open-concept kitchen, living room, and dining area, as well as three bedrooms and two bathrooms. In the hallway, there's a large mechanical room and a laundry room as well.
This home (a.k.a. The Lake House) was built by Northern Shield and you can find out more about them here:
nsd-corp.ca/
The home was installed on a helical pile foundation, it has a Posi-Slope roof with an EPDM membrane on top, and 3 styles of exterior siding to add character and dimension to the look of the home - metal, vinyl, and Maibec. There are also two great decks, one at the front and a covered one at the back to optimize time outdoors.
To prevent condensation from forming on the metal walls, they are insulated both on the interior and on the exterior. The home is heated with two electric mini-split units as well as baseboards and an electric fireplace.
We hope you enjoyed getting a peek at this shipping container home!
Thanks for watching!

@georgevavoulis4758 Жыл бұрын

Be very careful where these shipping containers have been and more importantly WHAT they carried . Did they have anything dangerous to human health like radioactive or chemical toxins? I rather by new than used shipping containers for peace of mind . Please don't get me wrong I am 100% all in favor of shipping containers made into homes . Nice work please show videos of how you assembled and insulated it . Best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦

how much did this cost ?

@susanharris5926 Жыл бұрын

Sorry, but if the cost is on par with conventional builds, I would take a conventional build any day. The whole point of container homes is that they should be a great deal cheaper.

They aren't. Even if the construction is cheaper, maintenance isn't. Tl; dr: you're right.

They didn't address even a fraction of those problems. Just because they aren't saying there are problems, doesn't make em nonexistent. There are better, faster and cheaper technologies for building amazing houses, but americans tend to buy whatever crap salesmen advertise.

Cramped? It is two containers width wise. If it was just one I would agree with you,@@goury but that is not the case. They ended up with a huge open area there that does not provide extra seatings or storage.

@OntarioBearHunter Жыл бұрын

@J R ummm... this costs as much per square. and isn't saving shyt.. trading trees for pollution .. containers aren't leftover.. every container used in non transport just means it got replaced by a new one and the one you built a hippy cabin with isn't getting recycled into the steel cycle so raw materials are needed... nothing is free and nothing is zero anything environmentally. Also you can use engineered wood materials.

@paulutd69 Жыл бұрын

@@OntarioBearHunter shipping containers do have a life span and get replaced regardless... There is a shift - at least in the United States - to having smaller homes. Instagram and You Tube showcase many individuals and families that want tiny homes that also utilize solar power. As for cost per square foot I'm not sure you are correct.
