This Super Low-Cost Shipping Container House is Like No Other!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2022
- Crafted for an unbelievably low budget from a 20ft shipping container and using reclaimed materials this is a shipping container home like no other.
Shipping Container Houses can often look cold and boxy. After all, it’s made from a cold metal box! This container home however, has been entirely clad both inside and out, with ceiling extensions and panoramic high windows that make the container look and feel much more like a tiny home while also being super insulted!
Owners Paul and Cathy have poured so much creativity into this home. Clever use of reclaimed or self-harvested materials have resulted in a wonderful, character filled house. From the rustic iron-bark counter tops, to the beautiful reclaimed timber doors, this tiny house is packed with exquisite craftsmanship.
This home is off the grid capable with a simple solar set-up and rainwater harvesting, although the house is currently hooked up to grid power. Surrounding the tiny house are lots of wicking garden beds, which creates wonderful gardens amongst the otherwise industrial surrounds, while also producing fruit and vegetables.
With Paul and Cathy doing all the labour themselves and thanks to some hard work in sourcing and reclaiming second hand materials, this amazing shipping container home was constructed for an unbelievably low cost.
We hope you enjoy the tour of this epic shipping container house! To follow Paul and Cathy, you can find them here: www.elementsofcreation.com.au/

Paul and Cathy have created a home that they can truly be proud of. There is so much art and character built into this house, it really is hard to believe it's actually built from a shipping container! The price also blows my mind! It's incredible what they have accomplished here. We hope you enjoy the tour! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
What a beautiful tiny house. It looks absolutely amazing. Thank you for sharing this video with us. 👍🇨🇦😊
I love it!😍
When you need more room? Raise the roof!
This home is amazing! Bryce & Rasa, I'm so glad you are traveling again so that we can see the creativity that's in the world of tiny homes! Thank you for this presentation of an artistic and inviting home!
Wowie!!! Love it. BEAUTIFUL home! ❤
This was a BREATH-Taking house!!!
I admit having said before about a video that a tiny house was the best one I’ve ever seen, but I have to say it for this one. It’s a piece of art, and it must be amazing living in it. Thanks for sharing it!
Agreed. Every time I expect redundancy with "another tiny house" I'm always surprised and blown away. This is a great example.
I completely agree. Well said!
What I love about tiny houses is that everyone designs them for themselves. It's not like regular houses where there are four or five designs and colours for the street/area, and the whole thing alternates between them. You don't get to design your home, or decide on materials in a typical house (unless of you are rich, and hire a design firm). It's lovely to see regular people get a chance to do that.
The only thing that I wonder about is the size of those stairs; each stair is so tall! I hope they have a plan for the future, because as they age they will become much more difficult.
Just when you think that they can't get any better along comes this one lol
My thoughts exactly.
I've pitched the idea of a container house to my partner several times and she always says she doesn't want to live surrounded by metal. I'll show her this video and I think she might just approve. Particularly since I too am a pastry chef turned wood worker. And Bryce. Your mane of hair is looking great. Fly it while you have it!
Love it
Fly it while you have it. lol 😂 Sorry but that made me chuckle 🤭
How did I not notice Bryce's hair right away? It's so majestic lol
At this point you may as well just build a wooden tiny house rather than bothering with a container.
@@mrhappy623 +1 to that. I'm not sure what benefit the container is providing. It will be difficult to work with and adds a severe thermal bridge all around that must be thoroughly addressed.
(Love the result of this home, but clearly the builder knows what he's doing with many years of experience.)
Paul's words, "even though it's a small space, it doesn't have to be a boring space" should be the motto for tiny houses. Very compact and functional space...
For the first time, I feel like this is doable for me...this is an amazing result for USD 13,000. I can afford that.
Beautiful as usual...thank you, Bryce and Rasa.
His artistic touch is so beautiful. Simply stunning! How did he get so lucky to pay only $50 for the shipping container?
I think you could say that about any space. So many typical homes are incredibly boring. Every house looks the same; bi-level, four level split, or bungalow. There are others, but that's what I see the most where I live. I guess they are the easiest and cheapest to make?
It would be lovely if more people had access to an architect to help design their home differently. Even if it's not a massive change, something to make it different from the one across the street besides the colour. More personal. We spend so much time in our homes, they should be places we want to be.
@@janmay3901 He said it was so cheap because the roof was rusting.
@Kelly Benedetti my comment was meant to be rhetorical, sorry to confuse
I sincerely doubt that I could spend$13,000 USD, and get a home as great as this one. His cost was so low, not only because he already had the shipping container, but also because he built it himself, he bits of lumber lying around, he is talented in working with wood and he is creative.This is a stunning home that he has built for the two of them. the woodwork is unbelievable, the inlay in the bathroom vanity. This home is gorgeous!
This is absolutely one of the best yet.
That kitchen bench top....WOW.
But to be honest, what amazed me the most was something Paul said.
"I'm a pastry chef by trade".
He moved onto a life that was maybe the complete opposite to pastry chef. This is a testament to what we can all do and how our limits don't need to be set by what is assumed.
Very well done Paul & Cathy, you have achieved enlightenment and elevated your lives to the pinnacle it can be.
Yes, I was surprised by Paul being a pastry chef in his past and now has no oven in the home. Amazing!
@@alicesmith8297 выдимо выпечка "достала" его в прошлой жизни🙂
How soft and warm he's made the wood feel. You can see they're both really talented artists. The price is so staggeringly ridiculous, you almost feel like giggling. If you said 'this guy I know bought a rusted out container, put together some material he had lying around everywhere and built a house with it, I would never picture this place. They've made it a beautiful home both inside and out.
Easily in the top 5 of all the tiny houses you’ve visited! You can see all the love & thought they’ve put into every square inch! So inspiring!
Beautiful artwork Cathy!!
Just love when a container house don’t look like container house.. Paul is extremely handy wood workman. I love how he incorporate all his wood design in and around his home. Beautiful done Paul and Cathy. And being a on sugar farm, ha I wouldn’t be running out sugar no time soon. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
The whole point of using a shipping container is to make it look like a SHIPPING CONTAINER! For me at least!
@@CONTAINERMAN68 - Ha ha, I share the appreciation of the container staying "a shipping container" but I love the innovations just as much.
This is one of the few where Brice's big ass didn't look amusing. Btw, the channel wouldn't be the same without the legend, "Brice" who gives meaning to the term, living big in a tiny house.
@@salskars6637 BRYCE is tall! I have yet to see anyone taller than he is & wonder if most New Zealanders are short.
@@quirkyquips9915
For the very first time Bryce seemed actually speechless and so was I throughout this whole video. The creativity and finishing touches are absolutely brilliant. You can only see that kind of creativity in multi million dollar mansions if I am being honest.
I am just so surprised this is a container home. It goes so beyond the concept I had in my head. Congrats!
I love Cathy's art. How beautiful!
OH MY GOD. THE SECOND I SAW THE THUMB NAIL I SCREAMED!!!
I'VE BEEN IN THIS TINY HOUSE!!! They had it at one of the tiny house expos! It was so unique and beautiful! While the stairs were kind of unnerving to stand on.
Ohh this makes me so excited & happy to see this! I love the planter boxes they have too, they had them on show, and I'm so excited to hear more about their story.
Now this is a tiny house with soul! All the beautiful, natural materials and love that was put into it. Absolutely amazing.
What a talent that fellow has with wood! Gorgeous.
Beautiful home in every way! Wishing Paul and Cathy many years of joy in a wonderfully crafted tiny home!
You know what comes across more than it being a tiny house is because they have made it themselves there is a brilliant story with every aspect of the home from the worktops to the stairs and the lights...just a beautiful home thankyou for letting us see it guys xx
The wood on this home is priceless and it blends with the outside grey and the inside white just marvelously. The fully glass enclosed top is a marvel. Kudos to all the creativity involved here.
Absolutely beautiful home. Paul is a great combination of craftsman and artist with all the gorgeous woodwork and the way he raised the roof of the container- love the cozy sleeping loft with the fantastic views. And Cathy's painting is stunning. These two artists have really created a beautiful environment for themselves.
$20,000?! Amazing! This home is so lovely, it's a work of art and with the surrounding deck and landscaping it's like a resort. I love the woodwork and I love the painting above the sofa too! A very talented couple!
Paul and Cathy. You win the 'Rodney enjoyed your house' prize. Awesome
I loved this episode.. cause he dived so deep into each process that made the whole experience more personalised.. and not it must be mentioned ...spectacular woodwork
One of my favorite builds of the year! My dad used to say that it didn't matter how long the journey as long as the destination was worth it; in this case, the destination is absolutely worth it.
Bryce and Rasa, you have documented a gem of a home! The artistic vision and craftsmanship of Cathy and Paul is undeniably present in their living space. One of our favorites so far. There's definitely a modern feel, yet Paul has his hands all throughout the build. . From visual to tactile, this results in a space that is the perfect blend of home and art gallery.
This was one of the better Tiny House episodes that I’ve seen. They’re all good, ijs. This couples attention to detail is phenomenal. The home is way too small to contain the warmth oozing out of every corner. My guy’s one helluva communicator as well. Thank U all for sharing this masterpiece. 👍🏿
That woman got a Man !!
I wonder if there's anything he can't do. More importantly I wonder if he has a brother like him, with many hats. This man is extremely talented in different things. And I adore the way he included her talents and how he served her a dish of goodies and something to drink.
Oh yes, the house and land is absolutely stunning, I love every bit of this property !!
Awesome job you guys did !!
Hope you make many lovely memories in your home, enjoy you deserve it !!
That kitchen countertop was so gorgeous and functional at the same time. Very cool.
Not sure it could cost $20,000 without the cost of a workshop being factored in. It's a beautiful home!
But he took what he had including the access to a workshop and was able to do this. Most people don’t have the resourcefulness, the creativity and commitment to doing this on their own.
This house truly is a beautiful work of art. And Cathy's artwork hanging on the wall is stunning, and complements it perfectly. Those doors out of reclaimed wood are worthy of a million-dollar home. I love the human ingenuity that you consistently share with us. Well done, Paul and Cathy. This is truly inspiring!
I swear. After watching loads of theseTiny house tours, I noticed that most of the owners are like down to earth kind people. :)
They did an amazing job with the materials that they used. He really is a craftsman. I personally would need a bit more space than that. And I also would've added a covering over the deck for those very sunny (or rainy days).
They could build another for sleeping and lounge off the deck for more space.
"they really have built themselves into the walls of this home" What an absolutely perfect description of this amazing home. They have inspired me to do this more as I plan my new tiny home. Thank you Bryce and Rasa and thank you Paul and Cathy for sharing your space with us all.
Well thats what you got when you are smart and crafty. Amazing work
I agree with Steve: one of the best tiny houses I’ve seen. Their craft and eye for detail is extraordinary. Well done!
This is one of the most beautiful, amazing, and efficient homes I’ve ever seen. Your channel never seizes to surprise me 💛 I love how creative people can be, making such beautiful creations
This is what two artists created. 💖
The woodwork in this project is amazing!!! The balance between curves and straight lines, organic and industrial is perfect. Congrats. That tall tree presiding over the space in front of the house is great.
Cathy and Paul, you have created a unique artist cozy home. Your creativity is beautiful. You have shown sustainability by reusing materials in an artistic way. What a pleasure to see your cozy home. 😊😊
Wow, the creativity and art in every detail in this Tiny House is impressive. Congratulations to Paul and Cathy on their beautiful home.
This was exceptional! Excellent house. Excellent episode. Thank you for sharing. Wow!
My favorite things about this: The combination of the white walls and the woodwork, the windows all around at the top, AND definitely my number one favorite, the sleeping loft (it's like's a nest!)!
I cried at the end seeing his wooden carved handrail next to her artwork!
Stunning couple and home, it is an absolute gem, so spacious inside and the woods are fabulous!
WOW!!!! I have been completely inspired, this is so goals!!!
Oh wow. This is by far one of my new favorite
Probably my new favorite tiny house featured in this channel. It has a lot of cool little touches that makes it more unique ❤️
One of the most tiny homes I’ve seen to date! Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail!
This home is my all time favorite. It must feel like living in a work of art. Everything about it is pure perfection .This couple is so sweet and so talented.
This is simply stunning! I live in The United States of America and with all the specialty items used in this build which in many cases cost nothing, it would, on the low end, be in the upper 5 figures, but more likely be in the low 6 figures. When you shared that it only cost them $13,000 US my jaw dropped to the floor! It is both amazing and beautiful!
Yet another stunning tiny home. The quality of the work that has gone into this home just shines through. Just goes to show what can be done with recycled materials. Brilliant, lovely couple too.
This is by far probably the most beautiful tiny house I have ever seen it is unbelievable how little they spent by reusing materials. Congratulations to them.
Beautiful home full of character. Lovely art work by talented Cathy
Gorgeous container home! I really love the reclaimed wood, the painting by Cathy, and the beautiful craftsmanship by Paul. Very well designed and constructed. Jenny
Wow! Proof that when gifted artists have free expression, magic can happen! This is truly next-level design and still so warm and inviting. Paul is an extraordinary woodworker and designer, and Cathy's gorgeous painting is an absolute jewel in the space. I love all the organic shapes and curves, and the lovely combination of white walls and warm, dark wood accents. A few favorites: the deck and bench with curved inlays; the extraordinary outer doors by the kitchen with handcrafted bird hinges; the warm wood french doors and window trim against the dark color of the house; the lush raised planter boxes creating such a lovely feeling of enclosure for the yard; the curved shelf nook by the french doors; the curved wood banister; the post-less corner windows in the clerestory; the cozy aerie bedroom with windows higher than the mattress for privacy with expansive views; and the stone bathroom sink that is literally sculpture. Kudos!!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home!!
Wow - GORGEOUS! A real work of art. Congrats to Paul & Cathy. Cheers!
Hello from the Dominican republic.i have been watching your videos for years back wen I lived in the USA.. good bless you and your family
ok I've changed my mind. This is my favourite house. I love the woodwork and the white, very colonial style. Love it
What a stunning home! Raising the roof and the ensuing design choices the owners made with the windows, the sunken bed-and that CEILING-all so architecturally gorgeous! The warmth and quality of the woodwork beautifully sets off the white walls that can be so tedious. The design of the doors by kitchen adds a lot as well. Her painting is truly the perfect piece of art for their home! Just a beautiful, cohesively designed space!
I just love to see a human's brain can bring out very beautiful artistic ideas! Very well done to both Paul and Cathy! Job done to PERFECTION!
Love the wood and woodworking and Kathy that painting! The colors are perfect. Love the bed - like a nest and all those windows - WOW.
Oh, wow! I like how they designed their container home, a container in disguise 🥸
This is by far one of the most beautiful container home I've seen thus far. OMG, Paul's woodwork looks amazing throughout the home! If and when I get a container home I would love Paul to do the interior work similar to theirs! KUDOS to you both! And I hope you two continue living your BEST life!🦋🦋🥰🥰💚💚
What a fun artistic couple! The wood they have used in this home is beyond beautiful! Just love their style!
Again- this is a living art installation. I’ve watched years of your videos and THIS IS my favorite home. Amazing
Wow, love what they have done with the windows around the top. It doesnt even look like a container. I am off to put the coffee on....hope you are guys have had a great week!
Cheers Andy! And yeah, they have done such an amazing job in hiding the actual container. You'd never know looking at it! Enjoy your coffee and have a great week mate!
I really appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry in this home.
Love this channel. Thanks Bryce. Paul and Cathy have done a superb job.
I’m absolutely in AWE OF ALL THE WOODWORK! Unbelievable!! Love this house!!
Bryce, this visit to this gorgeous home is the pure essence of who YOU are as a tiny house proponent and journalist. For you to find this work of art and delve into the exquisite details of how this home came to be and to ask the budget of $13k U.S.dollars is proof that creativity and artisanship is at the heart of our waste not, want not living for us all. Brilliant video footage too! 👏 Thank you for this visit!!!!🤩❤
What a gorgeous home! The reclaimed wood throughout elevates the entire space. This home feels nothing like a shipping container, and Paul and Cathy’s creativity takes their home to the next level. That handrail is nothing short of brilliant!
Absolutely blown away by this beautiful build. I want one!!! What incredible craftsmanship with heaps of top quality look and feel. Gobsmacked by its beauty. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. The best vid yet on this channel......and I have been watching for years! 😊😊😊
I give the house over 10 out of 10, simply amazing.
I couldn’t respond until the end of this video! I didn’t want to miss anything 😂 Oooh I am so impressed with their home! Stunning 🙏❤️
Thank You Bryce and Owners, this is truly one of the most impressive tiny homes you have shown or I've seen anywhere in over 10 years of following them. The Craftsmanship and elegance is subtle yet astounding. The fact that they have such an eye, attention to details and remarkable skills to do so much work themselves and only spend $20,000 or so is an inspiration for many I'm sure. Keep up the great work, Love and Best Wishes to you all, Sincerely, P. ✌️
I'm amazed. What a talented couple. Her art and his wood skills. Just fabulous.
These people are really talented. Everything looks beautiful, light, open, and airy. That painting is spectacular. I love the stairs. The loft totally doesn't look cramped -- unlike so many. Also, I have no idea how people keep their houses so neat.
What a gorgeous, unique home they have built for themselves!! I dare say very few people are as talented and ambitious as these two. Gushing with kudos and envy.
This is my absolute favorite in a series of favorites--all of them beautiful, often ingenious, tiny houses. In this one, the wood along with the white interior and high-set windows is spectacular--a real stunner. Bryce and Rasa, thank you for one of the most pleasurable UA-cam series on the net.
Each week I wait for the video to show up !! This one is a gorgeous piece of tiny home !! Thanks for showing it .
I hope Paul goes into business and makes more of these unique tiny houses - incredible artistry, recycling, and quality over quantity.
💯 I would buy one....
WOW! This home is stunningly beautiful. Paul is a craftsman extraordinaire. I’ve never been a big fan of all wood everywhere- like the log cabin look-but the use of all the different woods here and the craftsmanship is just magical. That countertop in the kitchen is wonderful.
Just when I think I've seen my favorite new tiny house, along comes Paul with his craft and incredible vision that manifests itself in this build. I love every little detail. The raised roof with all the windows is a bit of genius to making what I think is a tight fit (20ft) into a perfect small living space. If they gave out awards for best build of the year, this one would be a contender.
This house feels like THE DRESS that brings tears of joy to the bride, this is it, it can't get better. Awesome ! Congratulations Paul & Cathy, you are living in a space that could be a dream of many living in mansions...Your house defines exactly how much a man needs from nature.
Bryce, you truly hit the jackpot this time. What a beautiful home! Love the creativity, the gorgeous wood and the story behind each piece, and Cathy's artwork. Just a wonderful home!
Love the shipping container home!
The wood and the wooden doors in this house were so nice. Probably my favorite wood to date in all of the tiny homes featured. They really were creative in making this shipping container a home.
Off the charts craftsmanship. Really liked her painting, too :)
This is the one! I've watched a million of these videos, and the plans for this one should be sold.
WOW. I feel like I need to say that about ten times before I'll even come close to how amazing this home is. For someone who mentioned a couple of times that he was originally a pastry chef, Paul has certainly become an incredibly skilled wood crafter. There are just so many gorgeous pieces of wood used and shaped in wonderful ways that make this home so warm and welcoming. That kitchen benchtop! My other favourites were the curved shelves and the mast lights. Cathy's artwork is also beautiful and complements everything else so perfectly.
I just about fell out of my bed when Paul said this cost him about $20,000. I was expecting something more like $100k, even knowing there were lots of reclaimed and reused materials. I know that new and quality materials in any art medium can make a difference but I always think that someone who can make something so incredibly beautiful (and functional!) using recycled and budget materials has an extra special type of creativity. I'm so impressed!
Such an esthetic couple. Completely beautiful and functional home. 🏡
one of the best tours . Bryce's attention to detail is amazing . this tiny house is gorgeous
Wow! Unbelievable that this is a shipping container. Beautifully made.
Simply a brilliant design throughout at every scale! My FAVORITE of all the homes you've showcased to date!!! Just mind-blowing! Such ingenuity, talent and expert artistry, freshness and Beauty at every scale of their home - Inside AND outside! An old shipping container?? I'm speechless! I LOVE it when you share such exceptional experiences. Truly Inspiring!!! THANKS to ALL involved!
Wow....this is small...elegant and comfortable....the woodworking is over the top gorgeous....love the kitchen and the cabinets...the bedroom looks so cozy...the staircase is amazing ....I don't think i could climb it...Lots of luck absolutely Gorgeous
Paul & Cathy did their thing with this 😍
Sorry! I’ve never SEEN a deck pieced together like that- just beautiful! Bryce, I’m jealous that you get to see these amazing homes. You’re truly blessed!!
Wow! What a gorgeous home. This inspires me to know tiny living can look this beautiful and elegant yet also be sustainable. Thank you!!!
Now this will be my favorite! Love the timber works, can't find flaws, I can imagine living in this house. Love the couple as well they look so very happy❤
Can't say anything but WOW! Love the banister and the whole place is so unique with a lot of character. Really cool place! Love the craftsmanship they but into their home.
I think I’ve seen almost all of Bryce’s & Rena’s tiny house videos & all of them have been pretty impressive but this one in particular is really outstanding. The design & craftsmanship is just stunning & I’m so inspired by Paul & Cathy’s creativity.
I love their shipping container home and the woodwork is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 😍
Truly stunning and innovative - brilliant indeed! I love it!
Absolutely beautiful! You folks have nailed it! I could definitely live there!
OMG! They created a piece of art with re-used/reclaimed things and they live in it! What a beautiful tiny home!
