Minimalist Shipping Container House is an Artist’s Dream

Designed as an artist's escape, this container house's aesthetic is as simple and to the point as its name - Container House. While composed of just three stark white <a href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=shipping+container">shipping containers</a>, the home provides ample, <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/daylight">natural light</a>-filled space for a modern day Warhol to muse upon his next masterpiece. The blank walls also serve as a secondary canvas on which to paint it!

The Container House was designed by <a href="http://www.m2atk.com/">M2ATK</a> for an artist client who asked for the ground floor to be a living room and kitchen, the second level to be the bedroom and the top floor to be a studio in which "to let to fly the imagination."

One whole side of each container has been opened up to allow for <a href="http://www.inhabitat.com/daylight">daylight</a> to spill generously into each room, making for a peaceful and relaxing environment conducive to creativity.

Instead of simply stacking all 3 <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/05/cite-a-docks-100-dorm-rooms-made-from-shipping-containers/">shipping containers</a> right on top on one another, M2ATK staggered them slightly, creating terrace-like areas on the second and third levels and a shaded overhang for the first level.

The Container House is fully equipped with heating, a bathroom, a kitchen and climate control systems.

Since the home consists if just three <a href="http://inhabitat.com/2010/10/04/freitag-shop-is-worlds-tallest-shipping-container-structure/">containers</a>, it's easy to install and can be removed if the property is ever sold.
