Boat Builder's Incredible 20ft Shipping Container Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 сер 2016
- A 20ft Shipping Container can be a challenging space to work with when constructing a home. Thankfully, with years of experience building super-yachts and racing boats, shipwright Evans is no stranger to working in small spaces and when it came to building his own home he has done a truly spectacular job of, quite literally, thinking inside the box.

This is easily the best tiny design I've seen.
Agreed!
Definitely!
Jeanette Juniel if I made one it'll be zombie prof lol
Hey everyone, the best results that ive had was by following the Magic Container Plans (just google it) definately the no.1 course i've tried.
He's a shipwright. I lived on a boat and they are marvels of economic design. If I ever build a tiny house, I'll ask a boat builder, not an architect, to do the interior.
RIP to his wife, it's sweet he incorporated so much of his old life into this house. This guy is clearly an absolute professional in his field.
very sweet the way he talks about his wife and still wears his ring.
Why not he bought it

Iconoclast or celebrate non stop for 2 weeks
@Iconoclast usually you get a new wife who is 50 yrs younger
Tell me thats not his wife at 5:41 holding his hand while they both are pissing.
This man is a genius! Mad skills and great designs. I've never seen a kitchen with that configuration.
Just when you thought you'd seen all that could be done with a 20 footer. This is a design triumph. And he digs Indian Bikes. Super cool I bloody love it!
Right!!! So awesome! Great designer!
I'm guessing the other two containers are storage or his workshop...might have his motorcycle(s) there too.
The other 2 containers are to be added to this one where the front door is. His plan is to make the home into the shape of a u with a garden in the middle and a covered patio off the kitchen like he described. (I clicked on one of the links to learn more.) I would be nice if they did an update on the current status now . This boat builder has crazy skills ❤️❤️
I keep coming back to this video. I don't think I've found a better designed container home.
This mans love for creating spaces shines through in this project. Very impressive design, creativity, finishing at an economical price. I'm moved by this one.
Unreal.... such an affordable, functional, beautiful home. I'd totally live in something like this! I really hope in the near future we'll be seeing whole neighbourhoods of smaller homes being built (doesn't have to necessarily be shipping containers) instead of the traditional humongous but rather unnecessary in terms of size homes that are more for large familys.
Evans 20ft container is beautiful , it just goes to show you can live in a 20ft container . I love it and the wood work is gorgeous. Great job Evans.
I love all your vids but this one, I would like to thank you and the gentlemen particularly. I lost my last remaining family members, my Grandma, Mum and Auntie and I have also decided to after watching many alternative ways of living, to live in a narrowboat and also have a van conversion. I move in this week but have really had a bad week, feeling that I have done something stupid, as I sold the house to fund it, the house my Grandma left me. Hearing this gentleman speaking and his reasons, I understood exactly why he has done this and in return I understand why I have. It is impossible to understand how the death of someone we truly love has on us but also the affect the person's illness has on us leading up to this point too. I feel like this has been a message for me to discover tonight. A message that those we love and have passed completely understand. Death and how we cope with the grief, changes us and how and where we feel peace and the importance of living in Now. Please if you can, Thank this man for his openness and sharing his story and home. I Get It ! xxxx
Please accept my deepest condolences, you're losses have been great and apparently recent. I'm sorry you are regretting the path you've chosen to head in, try to find some peace around that. A few years ago I lost my brother, my cousin and my father all within 2 months. That was a couple years after my wife suddenly leaving me. I was very lost at that time, but have slowly regained my "balance" and now find life happy and meaningful. It will get better, just know that. Meditate, pray, and never let go of gratitude. Peace.
This is one of my favorite container builds. As others mentioned, could it be possible to do an update? If not it is still cool the way it is now. Awesome channel.
Yes I would love to see a follow-up! I want to see how he made his side enclosure work.
This is the most stunning 20 foot container home I've seen so far. Love the corner solution with the water tanks behind the fridge. I'm currently trying to figure out how we want the layout our retirement tiny home and this is great for a corner kitchen.
I have always loved the idea of modular homes, and of shipping container homes. This is absolutely fantastic! He should be quite proud of himself. I hope he's found happiness- as much as one can after such profound loss. It's apparent that he has been through more than anyone should have to endure.
So very sorry for your loss. Your tiny house is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us. Thank you, Bryce for finding all of these tiny houses. Safe travels and God bless you, this man and both of your families
This build is from his heart...
Thank you for showing us this wonderful tiny home...
What a brilliant builder. Yacht building certainly would make good money. But nothing like the money you could make with a start up company making retirement homes from containers that can be installed any where in the world. They would hundreds of thousands of oldies who could not afford a home & rented all their lives, or home owners whose kids have gone and now they want just a small place they can move as they feel. Imagine large caravan parks that cater for such homes. Old containers now enjoy a 2nd life (excuse the pun). Suddenly a new lease of life for trucking companies who move them.
Well there won't be specialist companies as it's just a container. I love the idea of being able to move about as I like. But even more I like the idea of being able to expand my home as I need. So when I need an extra bed room for guests or a child I buy one of these. And when they want to move out they take it with them as their graduation gift and never have to pay rent. Don't need no building permit or anything like that.
Very cool idea
Gary Templemain could also make it for those prepers, "zombie nuclear etc apocalypse"
Imagine what would happen when those people pass away?
There are mass-produced residential container systems, was looking at a few in Holland built as student halls a decade ago, prefabricated in China.
Wow! Imagine if you can build that onto your own barge and somehow make it nearly amphibious... He has really made beautiful work out of the wood. Great design. Another terrific video Bryce. Thank you!!!
+petnzme01 that would be cool if it could support a large, loaded, shipping container. I'll have to see if they have something similar in Canada.
Ageed,galvanized steel and really good paint,but would need maintainence
Nearly amphibious is like saying a boat that can almost float...
Mike Bablles you sir took the world's right out of my head.
it's like having a plane that can nearly fly.
Bryce, I love your respectful choice of words! Always a true gentleman.
This tiny home is just crazy! Crazy as in AWESOME!!! Evans has brought all of his yacht and boat building experience to a shipping container! Just perfect. Surely this is an answer to the housing shortage we have all over just now. It must be very comforting to have so many memories of Rosie built into this beautiful home. God bless them both. XX
This is beyond awesome. I would love to see this Tiny Home close up. Blown away.
Cheers Paul! :)
Well done with the remarkable quality. Amazing. :-)
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed the vid. :)
I have spent months researching into building container homes and found a great website at Magic Container Plans (check it out on google)
@6
magic container plans
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover cargo container homes plans try Corbandy Container Crusher (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.
What a gifted shipbuilder . So generous with his design and knowledge .. God bless him.
Imagine the possibility of this man's ingenuity with a 40ft+ shipping container home. Much thanks and respect.
or, if he'd not had the hanging bunk bed, but had had clothing storage and/or a desk instead.
All that in a single 20' container?? Imagine what he could do with a 40'! Very nicely done.
Or 2 20's face to face with the glass box as a connector.
+richard hollick that is an amazing idea too!
+richard hollick I like your thinking!
That's actually what I was expecting to see with those containers side by side.
indeed.
Love the shipping container ideas.. Keep them coming..
My son is considering building one.
I have considering creating one over the next few years as a "fun" retirement home. All I need is to locate a suitable block of land. Totally love the concept of this one here.. Yep the craftmanship was awesome as was the design concept..
I think the large blue one that IQ Container homes made, and you showed, is great albeit probably a bit expensive. But building it yourself could be done cheaper I am sure. I could see making an even larger one over time similar to her one.. Keep the "L" shape idea and deck then put another 20footer on top for a master bedroom space and have "decks" on the roof of the L shape unit would be fabulous.
Of course that no longer becomes or qualifies as a Tiny Home! ;-)
ps.. Solar power systems are so expensive in NZ !! wish they would come down in price like they have in USA and UK..
Maybe you could do a "special feature" on solar power systems for tiny homes!!
Cheers Steve! Will do. :)
damn that was a quick response ;-)
Hey! Sorry, only saw the first part of your message and didn't read on! Yeah, everything is much more expensive here in New Zealand. It's all just scale of economy, plus the fact that items need to be shipped so far and so incur all those additional expenses. It certainly makes it a lot more difficult to build on a budget here!
You are not wrong there.
Plus overseas profits on sales per item are less than here because they look at profit on overall turnover and so they make less money per unit (maybe 3% to 5% net ) but lots of money overall on the overall volume of sales (millions). Here we look for far far higher unit profit levels because we simply don't have the volume of sales.
the best success that i've ever had was by following the Magic Container Plans (i found it on google) without a doubt the most incredible info i've followed.
He should start making and selling them, I would buy one tomorow 👍🏻
This guy is ahead of his time, just look a this guy, he has memes in his bathroom. He is a glimpse of what millennials will be like when they get old.
millennials will never get off their asses long enough to do that kind of work.
@@ronaldtreitner1460 I am a millenial and I had a classmate the same age as me that has a 20 year old daughter. Millenials are born from the early 1980s. Some of us was litteraly out tearing down the Berlin wall when Soviet fell. Some of us have granchildren. It starts to become redicules to view us as more stupid than children.
5:38 ......
lol... not even close that's a real man
@@joakimsiljelind118 I guess you haven't been paying attention as to what's going on in the school system today and society in general, I guess there are exceptions to everything today because homeschooling has taken off for the better there is no tyranny's reading to our children in kindergarten when you homeschool and God isn't banned from your kitchen table in your home. This has been planned for over 50 years by the Globalist and there's not much left to accomplish before they have complete control. I think the split is more like from the '90s, not the 80's I guess you're trying to miss the cut, good luck with that, you're a socialist or you're not, there are no splitting hairs when it comes right down to it.
"It's like the TARDIS"
-And with that statement, I officially love this guy.
To borrow (and totally mangle) a movie quote, "He had me at 'TARDIS'." : )
i liked the video as soon as i heard that
Niamh-Learns heh my yachts name is TARDIS 2 its tbe same dadk blue foo
Dean Ferries My iPod is called "TARDISpod" because it holds so much data (songs, videos, etc...) in such a little package. : )
+Pagani Zonda Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but obviously I still have one. Any particular reason why you think I shouldn't?
Outstanding design. 10/10. Great show. The end comments really sum'd it up.
Folks could learn from this guy, live within their means & prosper. Thanks for this upload!
This is the nautical version of the movie Up, change my mind
Hollywood about to sign him right now !
Curious to know how he hooks up the water drains for his shower, sinks and washing machine? Is there some separate sealable exterior panel that has the drain hookups near the bottom of the container? Very cool..I love the use of the boat design elements.
Very keen also to get/see more info on water connection & drainage.
@Andrew Millard: just saw this episode (it was episode 9 btw) ff'in amazing, both designes combined, ie. keeping the container intact and shippable, with the doors on the side is what I'm thinking about for a while now, cool to see something similar coming to life!

This guy is and excellent handy man. No wonder he builds yachts all over the world.
I have noticed over the years, that sail boats were a great utilization of SPACE, vs power boats were a BAD use of space, unless you are up to 150 feet or more.
Excellent craftsman and yeah hey both say he builds yachts all over the world........................
jdvr This bloke is not a handy man. He has skills in boat building. A handy man can do everything but fucks most of it up.
Incredible home he built. So sweet that he used items from his life with his wife. No better way to honor her and their love and life together! One of my all-time favorites!!!
This is an amazing idea, I love that it's actually able to ship anywhere. I myself have looked into getting a shipping container home built, but have yet to find someone to actually wanting to build one for someone.
You could actually use this design WITHOUT a shipping container and build a simple sturdy steel box frame and standard exterior materials and still make it movable on a standard flatbed and save the $10,000. If you dont need ocean standards then you dont need the container! Brillant design.
well said
Top notch craftsmanship. It would have been polite to introduce the man who did all the beautiful work.
And great work at that!
This has to be the best 20 foot container build! Great use of available space and designed so beautifully! Wow!
shipping container homes are the future, just buy a couple lock them together and off you go. 3 years down the line .. need more space just buy another and add it on, just like lego
Won’t happen til the government figures how to tax you poor lol
Great video!! What an awesome concept! Thanks for sharing :)
And with so many shipping containers available world wide this idea could be used in areas with a large homeless population...very nice.
I'd love to see an update on the final product.
Think if u google his name there is more info
i had a friend who buried one for 15 years and used it to grow in. It was genius.You had to slide the dog house and climb down a 8ft ladder to the container.Hooked up an exhaust port on the side off the hill it was layed on.Good hidden grow box that yielded nearly 12 pnds every 3 months until he shot a worker in the face and is now in San Quinton penitentiary for life.Dont use a shipping container for growing weed in.
Do you ever visit him ?
Hey crazy story thanks
so the last line is the moral of the story? cause u will end up shooting someone in the face?
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
this is an awesome design and the concept behind it is unique and timely. Thanks Bryce for sharing this with us. :)
You're welcome Helen! Thanks for watching. :)
If you is interested in container home plans the best results that ive had was by using the Magic Container Plans (i found it on google) definately the most useful course i've followed.
Bryce thank you so much for allowing me to consider all the possibilities thinking outside of the "box" while seeing living in one at the same time. You are such a blessing to a niche movement anyplace in the world. Here's to a New Year for us all. 🥂
I've now watched this one 3 times. It is by far my favorite. Everything is so cleverly done. I absolutely love that you could be living comfortably with no one even aware that there is a home located there!
Wow this is beautiful! Lol at the memes in the bathroom :D
Yes, the sense of humour factor has not gone unnoticed 😄
did ya see fat freddys cat?
I did. I love Fat Freddy's Cat and haven't seen it in a long time. He's Fat Freddy's cat, he ain't no kitty. He can make it rough if you wanna be shitty, etc., etc. So funny. It took real skill to build this. Is there an AC? There must be or he would bake in there in summer.
Voerti , Damn you are gorgeous!
this man memes hard lol. look at his toilet wall
Adrian Ronald Sehat it was like stepping into a time machine
Hell yes, that was my favorite part
Adrian Ronald Sehat hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣
Dank
gotta love the baby boomer memes :)
I am sorry for your loss. I love the quote at the front door. You did a great job on your home and you look happy. Much happiness and success in your future. God bless.
You could tell how much he honors his wife tremendously. He seemed sad. God bless him. Thanks got sharing. Beautiful work.
This is the best shipping container tiny house I have seen. Great job!
I really want to know about the plumbing in this one!
He's still wearing his wedding ring 💕. That is ❤️. Oh...the genius of the space was not lost on me.
fully, that kitchen counter across the corner is a game changer - brilliant! and such a lovely, simple man! blessed be!
Man what a great guy. I hope I can be like this when I'm older.
Just beautiful. Great craftsmanship. I love it.
Love it! Evans obviously has a quirky sense of humor along with his brilliant designing abilities-- so clever
So good!!! Especially the stairs with the storage space and the filter
Absolutely beautiful & genius!!!
It sure is! He's done a great job. :)
Every time I see 1 of your videos on these wonderful homes, I feel so selfish with all the 'stuffffffff' I have!
You've just solved how I will retire and visit and live throughout the world
Thanks!
And how did it go? Already retired and going around in your 20 ft?
This is the best conversion I've seen yet. The most creative and cost effective as well.
This guys started on a real positive journey. What a great concept which I'm sure will have real interest commercially should he wish to go down that line. I wish Evan the very best.
Brilliant man, just brilliant! And the craftsmanship ..
What an awesome home I love it. Just pick up and go. Park it when its close you will never know its his home until he invite you in. 😄👍
In love his fantastic idea of utilization of everything! It's classy and livable! Sorry for you loss of Rosie🙏✝️😇, RIP
It really is a great use of space, and very cost effective. I live in southern Ontario and home prices have gone absolutely crazy. You can't buy a detached home anywhere in Toronto now for less than $1,000,000.00 and even if you drive 80 km north a detached home will still run over half a million dollars. So how the hell are the young people suppose to find an affordable place to live. Even rents will be skyrocketing due to the cost of carrying a home and the increased tax revenue tacked on by the government will add to the problem.
I would love to have a shipping container home to call my own instead of being worried sick about where I'm going to live and how I'm going to afford the rent. I really hope the local governments relax existing bylaws to allow this type of dwelling.
Hello buddy! where can we find an affordable small piece of land to build one in GTA? Any ideas? I´m planning to do just that!
Man UA-cam is awesome at reminding me how much I suck. I'm happy for him though. My heart goes out to him losing his wife. Very Noble the way he stood by her side during her illness.
The very "Best" workmanship I've ever seen in a small space ! He outdid himself beautifully!
Absolutely brilliant. The fact that it can be shipped anywhere is a game-changer.
I wish this guy was my dad!
wow! didn't see this clever house coming
This is really amazing. And it has such a nice nautical sort of theme going on. I would happily live in this space.
An amazing use of a smaller space. The wood concept is warm and inviting. The maximum use of a small space but also retaining a comfortable living area with everything one needs to live. It's so well thought out, designed and finished, I think the layout can be copied and sold for future builders/buyers IMHO.
One word= Brilliant
Clever bloke. I'm impressed.
Nice job. I really want to do this now even though I don't need a house like that it would be a great project.
The Best tiny house story I came across. With Priceless Memories.
Thanks for sharing Evans !
Wow, he is a talented craftsman!
wow I want to meet this man, what a fantastic place and such an honor to his love lost.
I like the fact that it still looks like a container when you close it up. It would be good as a holiday home by the beach. Love the idea, especially the barn doors, good outdoor floor.
Had to come back here and say, with all the tiny houses I've seen on this channel since I subscribed, this is my all time favorite.
Awesome, just awesome
Can tell from the beginning hes a bloody good bloke obviously loved his wife tremendously
Thats so lovely and sad kinda romantic because he has the memories or his wife and thats his new home and he can take it with him its just so nice! ❤❤
I love all the graphics in the bathroom. Normally I would think it is a crazy idea, but he has made it fun and warm spirited! This builder is creative!
When I grow up, I wanna be like this guy.
James Stevick you’re already grown up lol
+SC EM I wish our house had a basement. Could finally grow weed without being bothered
@@fixxxer51 LMAO!
love the video! amazing use of space. thank you for translating metric to SAE!
25.4mm to the U.S. inch, 39.37cm to the U.S. yard & 2 - 7+Years for a "Kilo" in Beaumont Texas law/justice courts...
... Less if you're an Entitled Person ( a black ) & or a DemokRat !
Awesome! Love that little place. Such a cool idea and very well executed on the builders part. Job well done
Absolutely stunning in design and layout! Using it in my box truck. One always thinks of the bed over the cab. I am going crazy with new ideas now!
This is beautiful I would totally buy one great great effort and job! 🙂
Amazing space! one of the best I've seen
Cheers! One of the best I've seen so far too. :)
I love the kitchen, magnetic strips to hold knives and hooks for utensils; I agree the design shines and have considered creating a container home, 5 stars from me. Thanks for sharing.
One of my favorites. Love the bathroom location and kitchen layout. The woodwork is so beautiful.
Love your channel Bryce! Getting so many ideas and tips from here :))))
This guys attention to detail is amazing!
Both the Tiny Homes that were built by boat builders are so proffesionally finished and a delight :)))
Thanks Cal! Glad you enjoy the vid! Yeah, boat building skills work so well across all Tiny Homes. The craftsmanship really is exceptional.
Living Big In A Tiny House
I lived on boats for a few school summer holidays and its a tight squeeze so could only take a few bits and pieces I couldn't live without.
There are several components to doing a pro job. One resource I found that successfully combines these is the Magic Container Plans (check it out on google) definately the most incredible info that I have ever heard of. Check out this super resource.
Nenad Jukic
Thank you Nenad Zdravo! Idemo! :D I will have a look at that site ty :))))
Love the concept, and the build is beautiful
This is a very nice look home. And to think it is only a 20 ft Container most people get a 40 ft Container. So it seams even more impressive. This is the first time seeing a kitchen with this lay out I is really very efficient. Great Job. Condolences on the loss of your wife Rosie.
6/18/18..... Beautiful home from basic shipping container. What a wonderful design for singles or couples who are "enlighted" about space & necessities & minimalism & having their own customized needs/wants fulfilled.
He made a meme room. 😂
the owner seems a bit sad - nevertheless he is creative
