Stacking 11 metal shipping containers on top of
each other doesn’t sound like the idea way to build your dream three-story
house, but in designer Will Breaux’s case, that’s exactly what it took, and the
result is nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Why would anyone build a house out of shipping
containers, especially one so big as the one located on McGowen Street, in
Houston? Well, owner Will Breaux has the perfect answer – ‘why not?’
He had been thinking about it for a while, and
after using 3D rendering software to make it a reality, he started working on a
real-life version of it at the edge of downtown Houston. Believe it or not, all
the 11 metal containers were set in place in a single day, back in 2017, using
a giant crane, and Breaux has been working on it every week since.
As he puts it, if he had all the money required, he
would have surely finished it by now, but as it stands, two thirds of the
three-story house is incomplete, so it’s still a work in progress.
