(Video) Using Only Shipping Containers, This Man Created a Stunning Home

While you are watching, look at how much light comes in! Mr. Garcia planned the structure so well he did not have to take down one tree and the gorgeous light that comes in makes us all realize that container homes do not have to be so austere after all!

Pre-planning is the trick here, we think. He may very well have proceeded with a design that made the studio feel like they were living in a container, but Mr. Garcia knew what he wanted! No darkness or feeling like they were living in a shipping container – yet it still has that container aesthetic! It is the best of both worlds and, for about fifty thousand dollars, we cannot think of a finer way to spend our money. That common area alone is to die for!

Garcia believes containers can make for affordable homes. With a little salvaging and some imagination, we all might be able to afford a new residence, for bugging out or in, using an old shipping container!
