Large steel boxes, which used to be used only as shipping containers, have now turned into a miracle of innovation. In particular, the construction industry’s desire to reduce its carbon footprint and its move away from traditional architecture brought a brand-new breath to the containers. Thus, steel boxes can host a family’s adventure.
Located in Cascade Locks, Oregon City, this shipping container home was built by Relevant Buildings, which has made a name for itself in the container home industry.

The Kitchen of the Container Home
The container house, where the American kitchen design is preferred, has added a different atmosphere to the kitchen thanks to its wooden flooring.

Aiming for maximum functionality with a small number of items, the items inside the container house are made entirely from recycled wood.
In addition, by choice of the interior architects, the color of the furniture was left untouched to maintain its natural aspect. Despite this, there was a lot of white and gray decor in the kitchen. White kitchen cabinets and gray countertops are in perfect harmony with wooden furniture, modernizing the country style of the house.
