Shipping containers have evolved beyond their purpose of transportation. Thanks, to the team at Back Country Containers these sturdy steel boxes are being transformed into environmentally friendly and fully functional homes.
The Origin of Back Country Containers
Back Country Containers was founded by Jon Meier, well regarded for his ability to generate intriguing solutions. His fascination with homes led him to experiment with a 20 foot shipping container. Once he successfully built his home using this approach he realized he had stumbled upon something truly distinctive. Enlisting the help of his wife Kristen who possesses a talent for design well as supportive family members assisting with construction they embarked on a captivating journey of creating visually appealing and sustainable shipping container homes.
The Craftsmanship behind Container Homes
Among their creations is the Modern Farmhouse—an embodiment of their creativity and meticulous attention to detail. This 1,100 square foot residence is spacious enough to accommodate a family while seamlessly blending the charm of a traditional house with the strength and durability offered by a container.
On the exterior this home showcases a fusion, between a house and a container. The metallic gleam of the shipping container subtly peeks through doors located on both the front and sides.
The Modern Farmhouse catches the eye with its color, which complements the hues of a shipping container without being too overwhelming.
