A woman created an original and comfortable house from four shipping containers

Claudie Dubreuil has been professionally involved in the construction industry in Canada for a long time. She regularly receives orders for the construction of wooden houses and chalets with several apartments. But when she wanted to build her own house, she decided to make it original and imagined her own project.

Claudy decided to make shipping containers the basis of her idea. She lived in the small town of Mirabelle and they were not available there. So she went to the big port city of Montreal and bought several containers there for $3,000.

The next step was to cut the containers according to the established drawings. After a long search, she found NCK professionals who were willing to take on such an unusual project. The first step was to cut out the future doors and windows.

From two interconnected containers with a size of 2.44 x 12 m, the first floor of the house turned out. Two more exactly the same containers installed perpendicularly departed from the second floor.

For added strength, the containers were turned upside down and additional beams were welded. The floor was poured with concrete, a layer of 12 centimeters, and an underfloor heating system was integrated into it.

Claudie liked the inner surface of the containers, with its texture, she only painted the walls white.

Outside, the containers were insulated with a layer of thermal insulation and lined with spruce wood. Thanks to this, it was possible to save interior space.

It was decided to manufacture all the interior partition walls in wood of different species.

The interior was created in the loft style, consisting of metal furniture, tables, drawers and shelves. The tub was fitted directly into the bedroom!

From the bedroom you can access the terrace with a view of the forest! All of the work to prepare the foundation, install the containers, pay the workers and purchase the materials cost Claudie Dubreuil $377,000.
