The concept of a dream house is different for everyone. Some people are more likely to prefer traditional dwellings, while others are more likely to build their own. While it’s not new for people to build houses out of shipping containers, some individuals still surprise us with their ability to transform ordinary metal boxes into cozy homes.
A man’s transformation of a dilapidated house into a beautiful home using containers has caught the attention of Facebook users. He shared the photos of his project on a group where people were sharing their homes made of containers. The house, found in the Waikato region of New Zealand, is currently on sale.
