The trend to make shipping containers into fantastic homes has been a concept that's been used for almost two decades now. They are a convenient design concept that works well with the tiny home movement. The idea of minimizing and having premade, deliverable homes that fit easily onto the back of a standard truck has a lot of appeals. There's a lot of flexibility when it comes to designing one of these homes, whether you are going for the tiny home or a unique modern design concept.
