Musician's Dream Home: A Unique, Two-Story Shipping Container House with a Recording Studio
Advertisement
Matt Mooney was inspired to build his dream home out of shipping containers after seeing a friend's shipping container home. He spent several years researching and planning his project, working with an architect and a structural engineer to ensure that the home would be safe and structurally sound.
Mooney sourced the shipping containers from a local port and worked with a team of builders to modify them into a livable space. The containers were cut and welded together to create a two-story home with an open-plan living space on the upper floor and a recording studio on the ground floor. The home has a modern industrial design aesthetic, with exposed steel beams and concrete floors. Large windows and skylights provide plenty of natural light and stunning views of the surrounding forest.
