Hi everybody
We continue to discover for you. Our container house on today’s tour is from Queanbeyan, NSW, Australia.
Container homes are fast becoming a big trend in Australia – they’re affordable, sustainable and make the most of a small area.
In this article, we would like to mention an Australian manufacturing company that is qualified for transforming shipping containers into high-quality accommodation opportunities that provide enjoyment, rest and living.
We have already said in our previous article that shipping containers were designed and manufactured for a specific purpose, which is clearly transportation. There are also manufacturing companies that convert shipping containers into houses for their abundant customers.
‘Stack space‘ is one of those kinds of companies that aim to offer comprehensive service with a greatly-precise collaboration.
Today, we will show you the Mini-G model, one of the models produced by Stack House. 1×20′ High Cube shipping container was used in the construction of the 20 m2 container house.
Container house is slightly different from models made from a single container. In the design of this house, a steel construction was added on the container. This added area is used as a bedroom.
Plywood coating is generally preferred in the interior design of the house. The building is insulated with closed cell spray foam used in the floors, ceilings and walls. Care has been taken to ensure that the devices used in the building are energy-efficient.
The starting price of the Mini-G model is $165,000.
Can I buy one?
Of course! There are many builders/suppliers of Tiny Houses in Australia. If you’ve like to find out more about Mini-G, contact Stack Space.
