Problem
How can we built an affordable and comfortable tiny home using shipping containers?
Sample/ inspiration I used for my own project

Collecting InformationWhat is a container home?
Shipping containers are being reused to build these tiny homes. Since they are already built to keep shipments safe, the material is pretty stable. The metal can last longer and is environmentally safe. Furthermore, the cheapness of building these homes can relieve owners of the constant worrying of putting aside money for expensive rent.
Who will live in this house? How big is the house?
Preferably a couple or a most two people who are comfortable with each other. The house is about 640 square feet, using 8.5ft x 20ft x 8ft shipping containers. Up to four of these containers can be used.

Collecting Information This area is ideal because it is very close to a town and a highway. A 924 square feet of land is being sold for $19,900. It must be cleared before any building of the container home community. (Marcelona, Michigan)
Budget: $300,000 to $500,000

Samples and Inspiration This container home is beautiful and can allow for a lot of light, but the amount of containers needed to build it would exceed the total amount of that we need for this project.

Samples and InspirationThis house seems a little boring, and the large overhang of the second floor over the first floor might be unstable. If the overhang can be stabilized, it can be used as space to park a car.The windows are great and allow for natural light to enter, but privacy can be a problem if shades/ curtains are not used. The stairs are convenient and can be used as a great way to store things (shoes, extra light bulbs, tools).

Samples and InspirationThis house only uses one shipping container, which makes the interior features of the house cramped and is limiting in space. The sliding doors are great for a relaxed summer beach home. The stairs and rooftop are made out of wood, which could be a problem in the long term since wood is a natural material and can decay.

Solution and ChangesOne change I had was that the 2nd floor bathroom was too small. There was no space to walk around the bathroom. Therefore, I pulled out the right wall, which made the bathroom wider.

Solution and ChangesMy original plan for stairs were spiral ones but there was just no space to fit it so that the whole thing would be inside the house. Therefore, I opted for a U-Shaped staircase.
