I love the idea of turning a shipping container into a place to live, whether it be your home, studio, granny flat, holiday house...
This isn't a new concept and its been done for a long time all over the world, its popularity particularly high because it is a cost effective product, readily available, made of steel so they are really strong, and are also designed to stack on top of each other which is great if you want a double storey!
And if you want to add some design flair the options are endless, wrapping the container in timber slats to create a modern feel, adding decks, colourful facades, lining internally with plasterboard or timber...anything you like!
If this is something youre interested in, you'd just have to check with your local council that your design meets the Building Code of Australia and energy star rating for an energy efficiency home.
Check out these fabulous homes that have been created from shipping containers!

I just love seeing what people can do with shipping containers. Some of those photographs are awesome, I can't believe that kitchen is made from containers. My dream is to make some sort of den or deluxe outdoor room for the garden, like a couple of the containers in the photos. Good luck with your plans.
