Innovative Shipping Container Homes + The Conversion Process
Converting #shippingcontainers into homes is full of amazing design possibilities and is remarkably sustainable. The reuse aspect means less use of lumber--ideal for our climate change reality. That's precisely what appealed to Relevant Buildings, a container house manufacturer in Oregon City, OR.
Owner Carl Coffman shares tours of their innovative small and tiny container home models, all building code compliant. Each is made with one or more high-cube shipping containers, sometimes stacked, like for an affordable housing condo project.
Innovative bump-outs, in many of their container houses, create added width inside for a more open, functional space. Engineering is key. Carl also shares a fascinating walk-through of the container conversion process.

@@adriennegaller2522 Hi and Hello. I gather people for a good cause: I wanna provide people with Links leading to bad or toxic people. Mobber, Racists, Sexists, Bullies, more. I got the Links and i need help with reporting them. KZread is in a bad state and i think you heard of that. Many complain about it, its strike-system and its CEO: Susan. But... I mean... complaining about the State of the world is nice and dandy, but... how about acting? Doing something? So i made a Wiki where i store Links for all to use. Yeah, unorthodox, i know, but whatever. Its my Try to help. You can at least pre-emptive 'block user' regarding the Racists and all those, but you can also do one thing more and report them. You surely know what a mess youtube is, so? What do you think about all this? I mean, its a good cause, improving the internet and the world, and it costs no money, just time. Nice or not? I'm sure this comment didnt made it all clear, but point is, i wanna act and help others to act, not just complain. If somethings not clear, ask Questions; that normally helps with confusion. ...Sorry this comment was so random...

It’s actually a very well written and comprehensive book kzread.infoUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 . I wanted to pair this with an updated book on local codes to start planning a post-retirement dream shop. I think I have just about everything I need between the two. The extra plans available for purchase towards the end are priced almost as much as full home plans, not little sheds however.
Love the "bump out" on these container homes. Really does give you lots of room. But I especially like the large doors with all the glass. Really beautiful. You almost forget they are container homes. These designers & renovators are true artists. Knowing just where to place kitchens & bath & bedrooms that work is a very difficult thing to do. The flow of traffic has got to work. Great ideas & really nice work. (I want one) My hats off to all of y'all. Very impressive. Blessings.
Finally i find a company thats knows all the realties of making a real and legal container home in most states.
I was lucky enough to tour Relevant Building's homes in Oct 2020. AMAZING quality, finish, and design. I've wanted a container home years and as soon as I can, I want to order one of theirs. Love them!!! They offer tours regularly so if you ever have the opportunity to check them out in person, I highly recommend it.
I'm going to share this with my grandson! He's attending a Welding school, and I like to show him the opportunities he has when he finishes school. Thanks for this segment!

Like the bump outs alot. Haven't seen that before. Your video's are well made and you have a wonderful variety of models to offer. I'm not in a position to buy the finished house, but would come to you for a container with bump outs and window/door openings. The cutting and welding is not something I'd want to attempt, plus you would know how to reinforce it.

Thanks so much for this... 7 feet wide is a no go, but a bump out makes this idea perfect for me.
Beautiful is the one word for me to describe those homes.
Love shipping containers Homes, someday will purchases one of those beautiful spaces
I loved their take on container homes!
A nice range of homes, I likes the number of times 'engineering' was mentioned as everything tooks very well thought through and designed to last.
This house is amazing inside. I love the sit up and decor colors.
The Best ones I've ever seen😻 The Engineers are super skilled! Omg this makes me want to move into these tiny container house. I'm in love❤
Simple, innovative, affordable = beautiful
This was amazing, beautiful homes, nice to learn how they are built and the thought process that goes into the design.
Absolutely superb! High quality build and finish.
Love it. I like how you're working with the government to help bring affordable housing to many that need it. I want to do something like this for my community in Florida.
Marvellous idea as well the shipping containers will stand strong and won't blow away when hurricanes and storms come so that's amazing
Loved this video. This gentleman is doing a great job. He is very thorough.
These are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I would love to have one of these homes!

Hands down one of the best container homes I've seen on Utube. The detail and craftsmanship that goes into the building of these homes could be the future. I think most humans do not need the typical 3000 square foot homes. Less is more to me. Use only what you need. Thank you for the hard work you guys are doing. 👌👏🏆
Pretty reasonable for the quality. Thank you for sharing!
I love it. Can’t wait to get mines 2 floor design. Your guys are the best.
I really like the bump out, it looks great.
Love that you can put theses anywhere! A Shipping Container Luxury Condos site 4-5 stories and about 1 city block long, just built and sold in Nashville Tn. I heard the owner paid around 1.5 million for property, shipping containers, construction and turn key of 25 units and just sold them all for 68 Million! Absolutely Beautiful! Right nest to the Civic Center down town. I think I have pictures of the shipping containers just before they were finished erecting the last few containers. I can’t wait to see one.
Wow, I am impressed.
Got a Good thing going Carl ! Well built , insulated and reasonably priced. Come to Canada my friend !
I have been looking at tiny home options and I love this option. So much to think about. Thanks!

I really like the build quality of these containers homes. Would like to see this product in the Midwest to take on the weather conditions here.
WOW, JUST WOW! This guy could become the Toll Brothers or KB homes of the Container industry. One more feature is they are "almost" fire proof!! If this guy can work with state n federal government he could really help with affordable and homeless housing. If the 75k model was stripped down to basics i bet he could provide them to municipality for under 50k each.. If this company gets any traction, watch out. They are VERY impressive. I've been following Container homes for years and I actually had to give up on a parcel I wanted because I didn't know who could do the job. Here they are. Wish I'd known.
Thank you, this is one of the most helpful Shipping Container building videos I've found. I love the way you film and present your content, allowing the owner/builder to tell their own story. Very high value time investment for me. Well worth subscribing.
I live in the Northeast US where many towns require residential homes to be minimum 1000 sf. I saw a container design I want: a horse shoe configuration - the long sides would be 40ft extra-height containers the shared side a 20ft extra height container- an atrium would span the 40 ft containers - it seems this Builder is more than able to construct this home design.
Absolutely amazing 💖
Love it!!!! Great construction! I live in FL. Come here! They sound like could be hurricane proof.

LOVE THIS!! Not only reusing an existing object as housing, but working towards the goal of more affordable housing. The innovation is so cool, and I love the design choices. I think shipping container villages for homeless people could also be a good way for cities and communities to work to help people in need get a new start in life. No doubt this particular container home builder will do very well financially in the future.

Wow love it
Great video full of detailed information, containers are greatly underused as homes and we should use more of them, why not a container park full of homes it has many options, rental, buy, part ownership (good for the first time buyers as they can buy say a 50% share and when they move on sell it on or back to the owner). I worked in logistics for 40 years shipping containers round the world and they have more use than shipping, keep thinking outside the envelope and by using some off the shelf furniture from places like IKEA it keeps costs down...
