12 Shipping Container Homes That Challenge the Meaning of Shelter

Welcome to the "Little Box on the Prairie." This modern house is made from two recycled shipping containers and is situated on 10 acres of rolling prairie land, just North of Livingston, Montana. It’s a 700-square-foot mix of rustic coziness and clean, modern design. Many of the finishes, such as the redwood flooring and plywood wall panels, were salvaged off-site, recycled, and reused. The outside deck is perfect for chatting over morning coffee, enjoying an evening glass of wine, gazing at the Absaroka Mountains, and likely spotting a deer or antelope. The house comfortably sleeps two people, and a third can sleep on the sofa, if needed.
