40Ft Container House

Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

I was inspired by this house seen on Small House Bliss, and here is what they said about it: Australian firm Nova Deko Modular builds modular houses in a wide range of sizes, marketing the smaller ones as “granny flats“. Of those, one of the larger ones is the Milan, built to the same dimensions as a standard 40′ shipping container. These photos show an upgraded version with several options not included in the base model. Nova Deko made good use of the 29.7 m2 (320 ft2) floor space, including a separate bedroom, three-piece bathroom with shower, large clothes and linen closets, a functional kitchen and a stacked clothes washer/dryer. The bedroom is just big enough for a double bed with room to walk around both sides. The kitchen saves space with a two-burner cooktop and an alcove for a convection or microwave oven. Storage has been maximized with cabinets that reach to the ceiling. In the version shown here, the kitchen cabinetry was extended into the living room as an optional entertainment center, which doesn’t leave much room for seating. That might be fine in warm climates where you can do most of your entertaining on the deck, but many people would likely choose to omit the entertainment center. The wall of cabinetry also makes the interior even narrower. While the aluminum and glass folding doors (or sliding doors on the base model) do keep it from feeling claustrophobic, greater use of open shelving and glass doors on some of the upper cabinets would have made the space seem less confined.
