Kalkin, Push Button House 2 - Bernardsville, NJ - Fold out Container Home

The 8-foot-wide, 20-foot-long shipping container home has 5 rooms inside of it, and starts out looking like an ordinary shipping container. But with the push of a button, the house comes to life, with a complete kitchen, dining room, bedroom, living room and library hiding inside.
The interior is all done up in a shiny white lacquer finish for show, but I suppose it could be built out with any design. This is actually the second Push Button House designed by Kalkin, and is much more complex and advanced than the original.

Cinco Camp - Brewster County, Texas - 5 Container Home

Cinco Camp - Brewster County, Texas - 5 Container Home

Rhotenberry Wellen Architects The owner, leading media graphic designer Roger Black, asked for a quick and cheap place to stay on his 3,000-acre West Texas ranch. This house is made from five recycled shipping containers and cost less than $200,000 to transport, construct and outfit.
Five freestanding cargo containers lined up and cinched together on a 3,000-acre ranch in the rugged, rocky high desert mountains of West Texas reduce life to its basics:  One container holds a living room;  two house bedrooms and bathrooms;  another a kitchen and eating area, while the last  is for storage.

Fox, MW Bender - Gainesville, Florida - Multi Container Home

Fox, MW Bender - Gainesville, Florida - Multi Container Home

The Fox Residence is an alternative housing solution. It is constructed using Inter-modal Steel Building Units (ISBUs), commonly known as shipping containers. What we came up with is a configuration of nine 40′ high cube containers and one 20′ high cube container. The 40-footers are arranged in a three story bank of two and a three story stack one container wide, with a four foot gap in between. The gap contains vertical circulation and space for routing building systems. This creates a home with 2450 square feet of conditioned space on top of a 1200 square foot garage and workshop. The construction rests on a continuous perimeter grade beam with a few pad footings

Grygier, Leger-Wanaselja Architecture - California - Shipping Container House
This house incorporates three insulated containers into the design of this airy yet compact 1350 square foot, three bedroom house. Two forty-foot containers are stacked on one side and a third is cut in half and stacked on the other creating protective walls for a two story atrium living room in the middle.  Bedrooms in the upper containers are given added width with bay windows.  A stair and a bridge through the atrium connect the two upper containers to the space below.
