UpCycle Living - Arizona - Phoenix Addition, Container Home

UpCycle Living - Arizona - Phoenix Addition, Container Home 3 x 40 ft containers

Description: This project started with a client’s need for more space in their two bedroom 1950s ranch-style home. When a desire for high-design did not fit their budget, modified shipping containers were used to build an addition that would contain a 900 sq. ft. master suite. Accessed via a short hallway from the existing masonry home, the space opens to reveal a large bedroom, walk-in closets, and an open bath. The ends of the containers have been removed and filled with glazing to allow for ample natural light. The clients were able to get the space they needed while keeping a simple modern aesthetic which compliments the existing structure.

Upcycle Living - Phoenix - Container Home

Upcycle Living - Phoenix - Container Home


 They produced a 2 bedroom home at a green street fair in Phoenix and already the orders began to roll in. Although still not cheap at around $100,000 but demand and interest still seems readily available.

The basic 2 bedroom home was 1,280 square feet built by utilising four fourty foot shipping containers. The exterior wasn’t modified to allow people to see the home was in fact shipping containers. In the future the addition of solar panels and a shade screen are already on the cards. Inside recycled hardwood floors as well as sustainable bamboo kitchen cabinets keep the home in keeping with the green feel.
