Nomad Living Guesthouse

The Nomad Living Guesthouse was designed and built in 2013 by Arnold Aarssen from Studio ArTe. It is based in the Algarve region of Portugal and uses only one 40 foot shipping container which provides over 300 square foot of living space.

Impressive Container Guest House

Not only is the 'Container Guest House' funky and futuristic to look at and a novelty for friends of the owner to stay in - it was built with a sustainable strategy.
The lodge in San Antonio, Texas, was built by award-winning design firm Poteet Architects.
The firm were tasked with the project by an artist who lives in a small warehouse on a formal industrial site and wanted to experiment with shipping containers.
They installed sliding doors, windows, heating, air conditioning and an 8 foot by 4 foot bathroom to make it the perfect place for visitors to crash for the night.

The finished project serves as a guesthouse and is fitted with a shower/WC and a custom stainless sink. The large steel and glass lift/slide and end window wall open the interior to the surrounding landscape. The remainder of the interior is used as a garden shed.
