  • In this weeks episode, we explore this lovely family home which has been constructed using shipping containers. Named the South Coast Container House, this home has been sustainably constructed using four shipping containers and has also been extended to enclose communal spaces. At 95 square meters (1000 square feet) this home is capable of sleeping 10 people and has been divided into a main 85 square meter home, with an additional 15 square meter sleep-out made from a single 20ft shipping container.

    Impressive video. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months. I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance.

      Instead of using different brokerage accounts to purchase index funds or individual stock, compare your age(s) and how much time you have estimated till retirement, you can also opt to consulting/working with a fund manager/advisor for an “optimal strategy” to outperform the bear market.

    The feature I appreciated the most internally and externally is how the change in floor levels provide extra seating without the need for extra furniture.

    • @waveman1500
      @waveman1500 5 років тому +9

      I agree that the bench seating along floor levels is the most interesting part of the house.
      For comfort I think a cushion would be very much appreciated. Sitting on a flat timber floor wouldn't be comfortable for a dinner party. I almost wonder whether this is part of the design, to make the dining table deliberately uncomfortable in order to encourage people to get up and move to the lounge area.
      The change in floor levels is quite extreme, it almost appears as if it could create safety issues for walking in the dark, or people with less mobility. At 4:59 there is a vertical drop which looks like at least 30-45cm, immediately outside a sliding door to the living room. I would hate to have a guest fall down there by accident and injure themselves!
      Elderly people may have trouble with those stairs up to the granny flat, aka "guest pod." Ar 12:59 you can see six stairs with a 90 degree turn and no hand rail. It would be very simple to have extended the deck to meet up with the driveway, or perhaps put a ramp in.

They had a 3 story house, the third floor (the bottom one) was like a studio apartment. Because of him not able to get around most of the house they ended up selling it (they lived there for 25 years) and buying a one story home. And guess what ... he’s still sleeping in a different bedroom from his wife... 😆 .. Makes no sense to me.. 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

    I'm a young Pre-Trade Carpentry Student in NZ, and I often get into discussions about tiny/small homes, and alternative building techniques (including shipping containers) with one of my tutors. Just last week, I asked him if a shipping container being insulated from the outside, in order to save precious interior space, was a viable option. He had never even thought or heard of the idea, but was intrigued none the less. Almost as if by magic, this video comes along and mentions that this is EXACTLY what had been done during this build.

    Stunning design. Really, really beautifully designed and executed. It DOES make me sad to see such a perfect house for large (and small!) modern paintings... and yet ... ... ... crickets/visual silence/ n o t h i n g . . . I notice the lack of paintings in many, many houses. Do people not like Art anymore? My heart is breaking. Once again, Bryce and Rasa, you have outdone yourselves (and lovely camerawork!). I LOVE your videos, so much so that it always feels like it's longer than a week between them and I am so excited to see them when they arrive.

That communal area is EVERYTHING. I know this channel is meant to be about tiny homes, but I love seeing some of these bigger homes that are still small and still take tiny house design elements.

    Hasn't shipping container design come a long way ? To pass all the stringent regulatory processes/red tape inherent in modern builds shows a seachange in the typically conservative building bureaucracy especially with the strict protocols employed in developed countries like Australia. Finally the younger, greener generation has infiltrated such professional agencies. A decade ago this would have been impossible. This place is stunning and the choice of beautiful timber-framed doors and windows sustainably manufactured really warms up the wonderful industrial aesthetic.
    Once again you have both produced a brilliant vlog (more like a professional "show") highlighting cutting edge small, sustainable living options. It would have been the icing on the cake to see an off-grid solar array on this lovely home.
    Thank you for posting. Yes ... more content like this as long as you keep to your "tiny" roots occasionally.

Thank you for such detailed info! Even though everyone’s ‘style’ is different, we get to learn and take little pieces of what we personally ‘connect’ with and incorporate it into our future design with shipping containers.

    All the negative comments here are absurd. Those who are critical about the homeowner, his mannerisms, the design, the price, the decor etc should just keep scrolling along. This was what the homeowner chose. Everyone has different tastes in what they want - that's what keeps life interesting.
    If we all built the same home, used the same decor, life would be truly boring.

    I really like how the kids room just had beds, that they had a play room with their things closer to the family area. It really helps with kids nowadays who would rather just hang out in their room all day watching tv, playing video games, etc., it really keeps them out of the room to be out in their home doing things and outside.
    When my kids were younger the home we lived in had 2 living rooms, one was on their side of the house. I really wanted them to be out of their room more, hanging out with each other doing things, so I set up there living room with craft table and shelves, water paints, bracelet making, many things that they would enjoy doing that wasn’t revolved around a tv.
