Welcome to the environmentally-friendly home of the future. Built from old shipping containers and furnished with recycled and repurposed goods, this home is a sanctuary for the eco-conscious family.



Large windows let in as much natural light as possible, with candles providing light during the evening hours. There are no incandescent lightbulbs in this house! In fact, there are only three electrical appliances in the entire home: an old television (excavated from a dumpster and refurbished), washing machine (also refurbished), and refrigerator.

First floor: Den, bathroom/laundry room, and garden area with clothesline.



Second floor: Kitchen/dining area, office space, and deck with firepit.



Third floor: Master bedroom with in suite bathroom, and a second deck with a telescope (handmade, from recycled PVC pipe) and chess set (a lucky find, salvaged from a run-down park that was set for demolition)



Top floor: Children's bedroom with in suite bathroom.



Close-up of the den (Note the old carpet used as wallpaper—our designer is very crafty!)



Close-up of the kitchen (recycled car tires used in the dining chairs)



Close-up of the master suite (bed frame, tables, and dresser (not shown) made from repurposed wood scraps)



Close-up of the second bedroom (all toys purchased from second-hand stores)
