In a world where the allure of tiny homes continues to grow, "Alternative Living Spaces" introduces us to a remarkable gem: their first shipping container home. This unique dwelling in Springdale, Utah, captures the essence of compact living while exuding an unmatched charm. Let's embark on a tour of this incredible space.
One of the standout features of this tiny home is the double wide front doors. The original container doors were thoughtfully converted into the entryway. These massive 8.5-foot-wide doors make moving furniture in and out a breeze. Moreover, these doors are primarily glass, inviting abundant natural light into the home. The 180-degree opening capability ensures a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
This shipping container home boasts a remarkable 11 windows within its 165-square-foot space. The abundance of windows floods the interior with sunlight, creating a vibrant and open atmosphere. The panoramic view outside becomes an integral part of the interior decor. Whether it's the soft hues of sunrise or the breathtaking sunsets, you can enjoy every moment from the comfort of your tiny abode.
Inside, you'll find a touch of character with five wooden beams gracing the ceiling. These natural wood beams enhance the aesthetics and provide structural integrity. They prevent the common issues of drywall cracking and add a rustic charm to the interior.
Upon entering this shipping container home, you enter a versatile living room that doubles as a bedroom. The wall cleverly conceals a Murphy bed, which unfolds to create a comfortable sleeping space. By night, it's your cozy haven; by day, it's a lounge for relaxation, reading, or watching TV.
Despite its compact size, the kitchen keeps its functionality intact. It features a stainless steel sink, fridge, and cabinet handles. Ample cabinet space ensures you can store all your essentials. With granite countertops and backsplash, this kitchen exudes modern elegance and practicality.
The bar top is a beautiful fusion of modern and industrial elements. The stainless steel hardware on top and industrial piping footrest at the bottom create a unique and stylish look. Underneath, you'll discover a clever clothing rack, providing additional storage options for your tiny home.
This tiny home also offers a 1930s dresser, meticulously restored to add a touch of vintage elegance. It features eight drawers and a hanging space for your clothing, ensuring you have more than enough storage space.
One of the highlights of this tiny home is the barn door. Its stainless steel hardware and rustic handle marries modern and rustic aesthetics. Beyond this door, you'll find the bathroom, which complements the rest of the home with its granite accents, industrial pipe rod for the curtain, and ample storage space for towels and essentials.
This tiny home is equipped with a 9,000 BTU mini-split AC unit, perfect for its 165-square-foot size. Plumbing and sewage hookups, similar to RVs, ensure a comfortable living experience. Thanks to its steel container structure, the best part is that it can rest on the ground or be easily transported on wheels.
Whether considering a tiny home as your primary residence, a guesthouse, or a lucrative Airbnb rental, this shipping container home offers endless possibilities. It's an excellent entry-level option that combines modern aesthetics with an industrial touch while being easy on your budget.
