First off, determine the perfect place for your cabin. You can place it in your backyard, on property you own, even on a roof. Before you begin, be sure to get the appropriate permits and permission.
After you’ve snagged your spot, it’s time to design your cabin. Consider what you’ll use it for. Are you going to use it as a weekend fun place, a home office or perhaps a guest house? March House can support you in the design of the space and the layered in of everything you will need.
Container-building is great for the planet. By re-purposing a container that may otherwise become trash, you are helping reduce waste and pollution. And because we’re talking about shipping containers, you know the end result will be strong and the cabin should stand the test of time.
Think about going vertical (to use the height!). You can use bunk or lofted beds or stack things up on top of shelves. Fold-down furniture such as a table, or even built-in seating, can also be helpful when you’re not working.
You can design your modify shipping container in so many ways! March House can assist you to create a stylish home that reflects your own personal style. You can opt for modern and minimalistic looks, or you can go for boho and rustic looks to make it your own.
It’s amazing how worn and used a shipping container can get before people give up on shaving layers of icky grime away — and it takes some effort to clean one, using soap and a pressure washer, but do it. You will need to clear out rust and debris, insulate the walls and ceiling, and bring in windows and doors. March House is there to assist you through every stage.
And when your cabin is ready, you’ll have a snug retreat for years to come. Whether as a weekend retreat or a full-time home, a shipping container home is a great option to build on your land, able to be customized to your own needs.
