Most houses with a modern design have a pretty stylish exterior, as well. This one, though, has a slight twist…

Shipping containers aren’t just for shipping anymore (contrary to what one may believe). A company called Modulus found a way to use the metal containers that is both functional and incredibly stylish.

David Fenster of Modulus created a family a dream house in the Santa Cruz Mountains just by using shipping containers.

Well, shipping containers and an amazing modern design on the inside.

The house itself clashes slightly with its lush surroundings.

But that’s what makes it so unique. Somehow, the modern metal design and the woods fit perfectly together.

The inside of the shipping container house is surprisingly bright, with lots of natural light.

Technically, approximately six shipping containers were used to build the house.

The result was stunning. The juxtaposition of the metal against the lush greenery is striking, plus the inside of the shipping container house is just cool.
