Living in an Ultra-Modern Shipping Container Home - Built with 4 x 20ft Used Containers

By Michael Madsen in General 26th Jul, 2023 Video Duration: 00:09:59
In this video, we’re touring a really unique and modern shipping container home in Kamloops, BC, and hearing from the family’s story of how and why they host their shipping container on Airbnb. Cathi and her husband Trevor downsized to this small space three years ago after their sons had left home and the couple has been living in it full-time ever since. The main house has 2 bedrooms, a kitchen and a living room, and a full bathroom.

It’s built with 4 recycled shipping containers. There’s an additional studio space that’s connected to the main house with a breezeway and it is set up as a fully self-contained micro cabin, plus there's an awesome outdoor kitchen with a dining space and wood-fired pizza oven.

Cathi takes great pride in hosting her unique space with guests on Airbnb and has had success doing so. You can check out the beautiful Airbnb here: https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/27575052

The shipping container house was designed and built by Honomobo and you can find out more about them here: https://www.honomobo.com/

Thanks for watching!

Some of the most “viral” interiors look incredible on camera… and fall apart the second you actually live in them. Luxury buyers don’t just want drama — they want function, longevity, and ease. If a home looks stunning but feels frustrating, it won’t hold

Reinventing a Tuscan home for today isn’t about erasing its roots—it’s about refining the finishes, lightening the palette, and letting the architecture feel timeless instead of dated. #TuscanRevival #ModernMediterranean #JulieProvenzanoGroup #TrulyJulieH

Some details instantly give “builder grade.” It’s not about price—it’s about the little choices that make a home feel basic instead of elevated. #BuilderGrade #DesignMistakes #JulieProvenzanoGroup #TrulyJulieHomes #InteriorDesign

Some details don’t need an explanation. They just quietly signal luxury—if you know, you know. These are the things that make a home feel truly elevated. #QuietLuxury #DesignDetails #JulieProvenzanoGroup #TrulyJulieHomes #InteriorDesign
