Summary

Redefine what it means to work from home with your very own shipping container workspace.

Are you always surrounded by your kids and partner without a moment of peace for yourself?

Do you struggle to get work done, or just to get a minute to breathe when you’re at home all day?

Do you wish you could have a little sanctuary where you can work, think, or indulge in your hobbies without escaping to an isolated cabin in the woods?

Working from home gives you more time to spend with your family. But while this is usually a good thing, it can sometimes feel a bit crowded, especially when you’re trying to get work done.

From Zoom meetings being interrupted to not getting any privacy when you need to prepare for a presentation, it can make you wish you were back in your office an hour’s drive away.

But what if you could still work at home, but have your personal area that’s professional, well-appointed, and not easily accessible to your curious kids?

With your own shipping container workspace, separating work and home life is possible even if you work from home.

And if you have your own business, you can even meet with clients in your office without letting them into your personal family quarters.

It won’t just be a pleasant-looking addition to your home—a shipping container space will be a lifesaver when you just need some alone time.

In this guide, you will discover:

  • A detailed walkthrough of the steps you need to take to plan, design, procure, and build a shipping container home office.
  • Why shipping containers make an ideal workspace, no matter what you plan to do inside.
  • Top considerations to keep in mind when selecting a shipping container—and what you need to inspect before buying one
  • How to draw your own floor plan, plus eight pre-made floor plan ideas to start with for your shipping container if you don’t want to start from scratch.
  • Essential inclusions you shouldn’t skimp on—neglecting these could make your experience inside your shipping container space uncomfortable.
  • Other fun and creative uses for your shipping container, including some that don’t involve working at all.

And much more.

You don’t have to be limited to an office space in your shipping container sanctuary. You can do whatever you want with the space. Your imagination is the limit.

You can stop stressing about the struggles of balancing work and family life while working from home.

Get the best of both worlds—proximity to your family and a refuge from them—with a multi-functional box.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great ideas.

This gal thought of it all! From what to do, how to do it, how to change it, and how to make money off of it. Something I'm strongly considering is now a more concrete plan. Thanks for putting these topics in one place for me.

Super practical!

I have some space in my garden and I had been thinking about creating an office there but I always thought of the traditional way with brick and workers basically. Until a friend of mine told me about the possibility of creating super cool spaces with shipping containers. Well, what a surprise to find a book that tackles exactly this ! It has been exciting to listen to it on my way to work in the mornings and imagine what my new office could look like ! I love that I can basically follow the steps in the book and nearly do it myself (well, maybe I need a hand or two...). I can't wait to get started!
