Man Uses 11 Shipping Containers To Build His 2,500 Square Foot Dream House, And The Inside Looks Amazing

Will Breaux, a designer, created his ideal home by constructing it completely out of shipping containers. Eleven shipping containers were used to construct his one-of-a-kind three-story, 2,500-square-foot home with a rooftop deck on Houston’s McGowen Street.

Since the early 2000s, Breaux had dreamed of building his own home, but he had trouble finding a designer who could create the house he wanted. He ultimately made the decision to act independently.

Breaux wrote on his blog, “I started looking at projects that were being built that I liked.” Around 2011, he started designing the house himself after dismissing a design team that didn’t live up to his standards.

Breaux was drawn to the idea of using shipping containers because of their strength, resilience to hurricanes, durability, and fireproof nature. He studied container construction despite having no prior professional building experience, and he produced a 3D sketch of his ideal home. Breaux is now the proud owner of an amazing, fully furnished container home after many hours of labor.
