Living in an Ultra-Modern Shipping Container Home - Built with 4 x 20ft Used Containers

By Michael Madsen in General 26th Jul, 2023 Video Duration: 00:09:59
In this video, we’re touring a really unique and modern shipping container home in Kamloops, BC, and hearing from the family’s story of how and why they host their shipping container on Airbnb. Cathi and her husband Trevor downsized to this small space three years ago after their sons had left home and the couple has been living in it full-time ever since. The main house has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room, and a full bathroom.

It’s built with 4 recycled shipping containers. There’s an additional studio space that’s connected to the main house with a breezeway and it is set up as a fully self-contained micro cabin, plus there's an awesome outdoor kitchen with a dining space and wood-fired pizza oven.

Cathi takes great pride in hosting her unique space with guests on Airbnb and has had success doing so. You can check out the beautiful Airbnb here: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/27575052

The shipping container house was designed and built by Honomobo and you can find out more about them here: https://www.honomobo.com/

Thanks for watching!

Countertops are one of the biggest decisions you'll make in a kitchen renovation or new build — because this isn't just about aesthetics. It's about how you actually live. Marble, quartzite, quartz, and soapstone each have their own strengths, trade-offs,

Black is one of the most versatile colors in design… but the magic happens in what you pair it with. The most elevated spaces use black to create contrast, depth, and balance rather than letting it dominate the room. When paired thoughtfully, black feels
