Cargo Container Home Office from $1800

For your Friday viewing, check out what California architects Karl Wanaselja and Cate Leger used to make a backyard office. They split a 40-foot, refrigerated shipping container and placed the two parts in a T shape with a crane. Then they cut windows into the ends and covered the floor with soy-based, formaldehyde-free Purebond. And the container only set them back $1800.

Excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed your sharing of this information. I happen to live in a triple wide mobile home. All wood and not well insulated. I thought about building an earth home, geodesic or monolithic. I will check out fair companies dot com. Thanks.

he mentioned working with the metal, does that include welding? or just cutting and riveting other metal ontop of opening he may have created?

at $1800 for an insulated unit, that’s an incredibly good investment!

I like the look of the non-refrigerated containers better because I intended to not put any extra siding to cover them when I build my house. But if $1800 include insulation, I may have to reconsider and spend a little money on finishing the exterior in a more attractive way.

Theirs is a little, um … bohemian looking, which is fine I supposed. Glad they shared this.
