This Woman Bought Four Sea Containers and Converted Them Into a Beautiful Home

The Canadian Claudie Dubreuil has built a very special house from four sea containers, which cost only 3000 euros per container. What she made of it is really beautiful. We would like such a house – and what about you? What Claudie made of four simple shipping containers is incredible.

As a general contractor, the Canadian Claudie Dubreuil earns a good living by building condominiums and traditional wooden townhouses. Unfortunately, this type of Huserbau did not offer her a creative challenge, because jobs were often associated with limited budgets and secure, everyday designs. But when it came to building and designing her own house, she did not choose the safe path. Instead, she chose a very special and modern approach to her new home. On the next pages you will learn more about Claudie’s house with amazing pictures. The kitchen and the bathroom on page 4 you should definitely see…

Claudie decided to design a house with a base of metal shipping containers. With this decision, she did not choose the easiest way; In fact, she encountered many obstacles throughout the project.

For example, finding an engineer who had the resources to build doors and windows was very difficult. She was rejected by four engineers before she found someone willing to work with her. Luckily you found someone who could trust this project. The result is impressive! Your new home is really beautiful and environmentally friendly.

We are thrilled, what made Claudie out of her home! It looks so modern that you hardly recognize the sea containers; some parts of the wall have remained untouched. We would also like to have such a house.

The living area is sleek and modern, and if it were not for the wall behind the sofa, you would never suspect that this house was made of sea containers. The sofa looks like it’s perfect to make friends with a good book or a glass of wine with friends. A nice home to invite friends and spend a nice time together.

The kitchen visually matches the rest of the house: modern, metallic and minimalist. And she also seems to be the perfect place to cook something tasty: she has generous work spaces. Have you seen this great oven? We are already dreaming of what we could prepare here! The dinner parties we would give here…

The bathroom offers plenty of space and a nice view to the outside. We can well imagine relaxing here after a long day with a bubble bath. We can not imagine anything better to end the day! Upstairs, where the bathroom and the bedroom are located, many wooden details are incorporated, for a perfect combination of rustic and modern.
